About Joy

Meet Joy: The Zoomie Queen & Cuddle Monster Hi, I'm Joy, and if you're looking for a pup who's equal parts chaos and cuddles, you just hit the jackpot. I'm a confident, outgoing girl who lives up to my name-bringing energy, excitement, and excessive amounts of love everywhere I go. Whether I'm zooming through the yard, playing with my furry friends, or demanding belly rubs, I promise to keep life entertaining. But I'm not just any rescue pup-I'm part of something bigger. Legacy Paws Rescue isn't just another rescue. We're here to change the human problem, one dog at a time by creating a safe haven where dogs like me get the love, care, and training we need to thrive. Our mission is to build a future where no dog has to suffer, and where people and animals heal together. My Story: I was found in an abandoned home with two mother dogs and two litters of puppies-all of us barely surviving. The police took us to a shelter, but it wasn't a place of safety. It was survival of the fittest, and dogs like us were dying every day. If Legacy Paws Rescue hadn't stepped in, we wouldn't have made it. The puppies, including me, were very sick, but we fought hard to survive. Now, we're ready for the homes we deserve. We aren't just getting by-we're thriving. I've been raised in a home environment with other big rescue dogs, cats, and lots of humans coming and going. That means I'm social, adaptable, and used to all kinds of household chaos. I've been exposed to everyday sounds like thunderstorms and vacuums, I do doggie puzzles to keep my brain sharp, and I take turns sleeping in beds, crates, and cuddling with my humans. I've learned that life is an adventure, and I'm ready to share it with my forever family! What Makes Me the Ultimate Catch: Confident & Outgoing - I enter every room like I own it'| because I do. Plus, I'm part of a rescue that's changing lives! Olympic-Level Zoomies - Try to keep up, but fair warning: you won't. Certified Love Machine - Expect surprise kisses at all times. No escape. Fearless Explorer - If there's a door, I'm investigating it. If there's mud, I'm rolling in it. Too Smart for My Own Good - I learn fast, which means I'll probably outsmart you. Social Butterfly - I love people, dogs, kids, squirrels, and probably aliens. Dog & Cat Approved - I adore my furry friends and get along great with dogs and cats! Housebreaking & Crate Training in Progress - I'm working hard on my manners so I can be the best roommate ever! I'm looking for a human who loves adventure, snuggles, and a little bit of chaos. If you're ready for a life full of zoomies, playtime, and love, fill out an adoption application today-let's start our journey together! P.S. If you don't believe in sharing snacks, this relationship is doomed.
