About Joy
Hi! My name is Joy, and I’m here to live up to my name! As a young southern gal from Mississippi, I’m a 13-week-old, social butterfly with a gentle nature. My foster mom says I’m incredibly sweet and lovable, with stunning markings, a beautiful face, and short, low-shed fur that’s perfect for cozy snuggles. I’m already learning to walk on a leash, and I’m crate trained too—I’m happy spending time in my crate without a peep.

Personality
I’m friendly and affectionate, loving the company of people, other dogs, and even cats. I’d thrive in a home with a family or other dogs to play with. In the mornings, I like to check in on all my toys, and I enjoy following my humans around to stay close. I’m a quiet puppy and don’t bark unless I have something important to say, making me a calm and easy-going companion.

Energy Level
I’m playful and fun-loving, with a bit of a “colt-like” appearance when I run—my foster mom says it’s adorable! I love exploring, playing, and running around with my humans or dog friends. And when playtime is over, I’m all about snuggling up, burrowing into your neck or arm for a cozy nap.

Skills and Training
Even at just 13 weeks, I’m showing how quick I am to learn! I’m already comfortable with leash walking and feel right at home in my crate. Since puppies like me are receptive to training, I’m ready to keep learning and growing into a well-mannered companion.

The Joy of Adopting a Puppy
Adopting a puppy like me means bringing a loving, adaptable friend into your life. Puppies bond deeply with their families, especially in a nurturing environment. With my calm, friendly nature and low-shed coat, I’m an ideal match for a family ready to enjoy raising a loyal, affectionate dog.

Companionship
I’m looking for a forever family who will shower me with attention, love, and playtime! I’m a natural at bringing happiness to those around me and will always be right by your side. Whether we’re playing or snuggling, I just want to be part of the family.

Love and Affection
If you’re looking for a snuggly puppy who’s as affectionate as she is playful, then I’m the one for you. With my unique markings, gentle personality, and love of being close, I’m ready to bring happiness to your life. Apply to adopt me today, and let’s start our adventures together!

This puppy is microchipped and up to date on age appropriate vaccines and monthly preventatives.

Joy Joy is currently being fostered in Dunkirk , MD.

All adult dogs, cats, and kittens are altered prior to adoption. Puppies too young to be altered at the time of adoption must be brought to our partner vet in Ashland, VA for spay or neuter paid for by Operation Paws for Homes by 6 months of age. Adopters may choose to have the procedure done at their own vet before 6 months of age and be reimbursed the amount that the rescue would pay our partner vet in Ashland.

This dog's bio is based off the experiences of the foster and/or volunteers of OPH as well as any information that we received from the shelter or previous owner. This is very important because it means that while they may act one way in the foster’s home, you may experience something different in your home.
