My story

Joy is mixed Boxer, German Shepherd, Pittie and Chow. She is hilarious, high energy, super cuddly, and ready to explore. Our family adopted her when she was 6 weeks old through a local rescue; she will be 6 soon. Joy is ridiculously smart, well trained and good with recall, but sometimes needs reminding. She love cats, playing with water in all forms, squeak toys, chasing squirrels and her ball. She will go hard fetching her ball and then sleep for hours. She enjoys kids, but with 68 lbs of muscle, take caution. Joy needs to be an only dog. She "resource guards" her toys and her humans. This is why we are seeking a new family to love her. We are now divorced, living in two different cities. One home has another dog she fights with, and in the other she will be alone for 12 hours a day. Joy just needs a place she can romp and run, and lively, loving humans to hang out with. We wish to hear updates from adoptive family.

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Joy, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
