Hi, I'm Joy! Foster mom says I'm the happiest dog she has ever fostered - joyful AND a joy to be around. I'm still young and derpy, but I'm also very smart and learn quickly. My hobbies are yard zoomies, playing tag with other pups, meeting new people, shredding empty frozen food boxes & chewing bones. I also love going to doggie daycare, and passed my temperament test with an A+! Having come from Bradford County Animal Shelter as an emaciated stray, I'm still learning to be a good house dog, so I will need a crate and a fenced yard. At 99% house-trained, I can get distracted, so if you see me pacing to the door, let me out! I'll go to the door you use with me most often, but I don't whine or make noise. I'm good for 8 hrs in my crate, though, I sleep in it overnight with no accidents.
I'm barely 2yrs old, so my best match will have some dog savvy and patience while I smooth my rough edges. I'm also trying hard to be less enthusiastic with cats, and one of my foster brother kitties plays with me often. Quiet in my crate, easy on a leash, well behaved in the car -- I dare you to resist my squinty-eyed smile & happy wiggles!

More about this shelter
The Humane Society of North Central Florida was created in 2018 when the leadership of the Alachua County Humane Society, Gainesville Pet Rescue, and Helping Hands Pet Rescue decided to permanently join forces. By becoming the Humane Society of North Central Florida, our organizations were able to effectively streamline services for pets and pet owners, eliminate any duplication of services, maximize our community’s resources, and improve the life-saving abilities of the entire region.
Our founding organizations have been dedicated to serving pets in Alachua County for more than 40 years. The Humane Society of North Central Florida is a limited intake, no-kill animal rescue shelter. The animals in our facility are transferred from open-intake and/or managed admission municipal shelters across North Central Florida. The Humane Society of North Central Florida is an independent, local 501(c)(3) organization. As such, we do not receive funding from federal agencies, nor are we affiliated with any other state or national organizations such as the Humane Society of the United States or the ASPCA.
