My story

Joy, spayed female, 7-months-old, 27-lbs If you would like to give JOY a forever home, please contact abetterchancerescue@gmail.com OR log onto abetterchancerescue.org to fill out online application Joy is super friendly and passionate, only a little shy when approached by children. She enjoyed cuddling very much and behaved well when taking a walk. She is loving by nature and aimed to please, can easily adapt to new environment. She is potty trained to go outside of the house, also crate trained to sleep overnight; she’s not a barker or chewer when left alone in the house. She is food motivated, loves jerky and yummy treats and chew toys. She gets along with people, as well as other dogs and cats. Joy’s rescue story: Joy was deserted at the suburban mountain area. At about three and half months old, she was captured and spayed by the TNR team. Her video caught attention of the rescuer and decided to give her a better chance. Soon afterwards, she landed at the foster home and being prepared for adoption.
