Adopt Joy a Black Labrador Retriever / Mixed dog in New York, NY (41558840)

Location:

New York, NY

Description:

Hi there, my name is Joy, and I was appropriately named. I am a 49 lb black Lab mix, now almost 2 years old and I’m lovely. Sweet and gentle, I’m friendly with everyone dogs cats humans I truly have a heart of gold. I’m quiet and housebroken and I know how to use a doggy door so I’m self-sufficient. I was just a puppy when I was dumped at a gas station in Von Ormy Texas. It was 5 am, in the freezing rain when the attendant found me and called a local dog rescue to pick me up. Things started great but a month later my knees began to bow and I was walking funny. A trip to the vet and a few X-rays later it turns out I have Osgood-Schlatter syndrome and my wonky knees and goofy walk are a permanent part of my life so I’ve adjusted. I enjoy playtime in spurts of about 30 minutes then I take a break and watch the other dogs play. I love going for walks, about ½ mile, then I stop and rest for about 10 minutes before heading back. I love rides in a car and spending time with my people, watching TV, or just relaxing in my doggy bed. I’m a very good girl, not needy or pushy, a joy to love and a joy to be with. Unfortunately, 1 year later, still with a local rescue, I’m still waiting to be adopted, so before I become a senior citizen here in Texas, 4 Little Paws is helping me find a forever home somewhere in the Northeast, and I couldn't feel more grateful! * 4 Little Paws is based in CT. We adopt in many different states along the East Coast. Transport costs are included in the adoption fee. If you are located outside the states we typically adopt to, we have options to get the dog of your dreams to your location.
