Meet Joyce, a gentle soul with a heart full of hope, waiting for a loving home where she can truly blossom!
This brave girl has been through so much, having come from a hoarding situation where she lived alongside over 140 dogs, many of whom had little to no human interaction. Understandably, Joyce is a bit fearful, but with patience and love, she has the potential to shine.
Joyce is looking for an adopter who can offer her the time and understanding she needs to open up at her own pace. She’s also not alone on this journey—she arrived with her dear friend Laurel, and the two absolutely love each other`s company. They help each other feel brave, and a home with another dog would be a perfect fit for Joyce’s continued growth. If you have room in your heart for two sweet souls, Joyce and Laurel would be overjoyed to share your love. Or if you have a dog of your own, Joyce would love to meet them!
We recommend a calm, quiet household, ideally with older children or no children at all, so Joyce can feel safe and secure. Be sure to bring the whole family, including any dogs, for a meet and greet, to ensure it’s the right match for all.
Come meet Joyce today and give her the chance to find the happiness she so deserves. She’s waiting for someone like you to help her feel loved, cherished, and finally at home.
