More about Joy

Joy is the perfect name for this sweet girl: her beauty alone is sure to make your heart sing!   Joy is so lovely, with apricot markings against a background of sleek, white fur. Her ears, like silky flower petals, are irresistible.   In foster care, within a few short days, Joy mastered potty training (with no accidents!), even in the face of extreme cold and snow. Stairs were also a cinch for this bright girl and she can go up and down like a champ. Joy also fit right into the household pack, following her foster brothers’ lead as they explored the mysteries of the great indoors and sought out whatever excitement they could find. If treats are involved, so much the better!   Joy is new to foster care and just beginning to learn the pleasures of being in a family. She is shy and cautious, but within days of arriving in her foster home already started feeling a little more comfortable. While Joy still prefers to be approached very slowly and indirectly, when relaxing on her bed, she is beginning to welcome ear rubs and soft petting from her foster mom. She loves wearing her warm coat. Patience, gentleness, and kindness are qualities Joy most appreciates in humans.    The lucky person who adopts Joy will have the pleasure of helping her gain confidence and watching her blossom. While Joy’s beauty will make your heart sing, seeing her come into her own as a dog will make it soar.    We adopt within 1 1/2 hours of Kansas City.
