She has lots of youthful energy and would thrive in a home that can keep her mentally and physically active. A fenced-in yard is a must so she can safely enjoy her favorite activity—running full speed with her goofy grin on display!Joy truly loves everyone—humans and dogs alike. She does wonderfully with other dogs and would be thrilled to have a playful canine sibling.
