JOY

My story

Please read ALL of this listing prior to emailing with questions or inquiries. If you are interested in Joy and feel that you would be a good match for her, you MUST FIRST fill out and submit our application at: https://foreverhomek9rescue.org/adoption-application/ (copy and paste). After we receive your application and review it, we will contact you. Thank you! Joy is a sweet little 9-lb. Maltese who is looking for her forever home and family, since her guardian unexpectedly passed away. She is 13-years old (D.O.B. 8/8/2011), but she certainly doesn't act like a senior... she still has plenty of energy and enjoys exploring her yard and going for long walks. Joy is extremely well socialized and gets along with everybody. She's a quiet girl, and generally only barks when she decides to chase her tail. Her foster mom thinks she's a perfect little girl... a joy to have around the house! In her foster home, Joy gets along well with all the other resident dogs, but barks at the big dog. We don't know about cats, but since she's so laid-back we feel that she would be fine with cats. Joy is well housetrained and crate trained. She sleeps quietly in a crate at night without any complaints, but we know she'd love to snuggle with her new guardian in a 'big bed', as she probably did before coming into rescue. We would like for Joy's new family have someone home during the day so she wouldn't have to be by herself. She's her foster mom's little shadow, and we'd like for her family to include her in their outings. She loves to ride and is so well behaved that she is welcome almost everywhere. It would be great if her family was active so her life would be exciting and full of adventures. Joy is spayed, microchipped, current on her Distemper/Parvo, Bordetella and Rabies vaccinations, and tested negative for Heartworms. She also had extensive bloodwork, and will receive a dental cleaning on Tuesday, 7/13/24. Joy will then be fully vetted and ready to go to her forever home. Joy's adoption fee is $400.00. We accept checks or cash for adoption fees... sorry, we do not take cards. Joy is a loving, sweet, and smart little girl who deserves only the best home and family! If you feel that you would like to add Joy to your family, please submit an application at: https://foreverhomek9rescue.org/adoption-application/ (copy and paste). Forever Home Canine Rescue offers a three-week trial period with all of our adoptions, just to be sure that the pet is a good match for the adopting family. The fee is refunded if the adoption does not work out within the trial period. We want to be sure that each of our pets will have their perfect 'forever' home! Although Forever Home Canine Rescue adopts out-of-state, we never ship or transport our pets. An approved adopter must come to North Carolina to meet their new canine companion and then take him/her back home with them.

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.
