About JOY (Very Sweet, Kind, Loves All She Meets, Dogs, Adults, Kids, Happy, Loving)

Hi, I'm Joy! I'm a 1-year-old, 44-pound Black Lab/Pit Bull Terrier mix who is spayed, microchipped, and current on my shots. My brother George and I found ourselves in a small-town park one day, drawn by our love for people! After a stint at the local pound, we were lucky enough to land in foster care, where we've been thriving. The vet visit confirmed my name, as I was all wiggles and happy tail wags. I'm a happy, loving, and affectionate girl who loves to be involved in whatever my people are doing. I'm house trained, crate trained, a great car rider, and I mind very well. Leash walking is going well, and I enjoy every kind of adventure, big or small.

Ideal Home

I get along wonderfully with dogs, don't bother cats, and have been nothing but kind to everyone I've met. I absolutely love children and people, and I thrive on attention, affection, and companionship. I would love a family that enjoys life's simple pleasures, like camping trips, hiking trails, neighborhood walks, or just snuggling on the couch.

Ongoing Health

I am current on all my vaccinations.

Training & Support

I am house-trained and crate-trained. I mind very well and am doing okay on leash.

Application Details:

  • Applications start by contacting us through Wags.

Transporation

I am currently in foster care in Texas. Transport can be arranged to approved adopters in the Northeast.
