Story
Joy is the survivor of abuse so every home won't work for her. She is as sweet as can be but is not good meeting new people. A busy household would not be the right fit. Joy lives with cats, other dogs and even a bunny. The bunny is her favorite as she will sometimes steal greens and carrots from him. Joy is very playful and energetic and loves to go on walks. She is the perfect companion dog. She was born in 2020, is about 50 lbs and is fully vetted.  ##1520292##
