About this Dog
Meet Joy! Joy is a 12 year old, 40 pound mixed breed spayed female (short coat). Joy was adopted 7 years ago and she immediately became part of the family. Unfortunately, due to life changes, Joy is no longer able to stay in her home. Joy is a total pack-animal and loves to be around her people, so she loved that her people worked from home. She was always the center of attention. Joy's favorite thing in the world is to curl up on the couch or in a bed, preferably nestled in a cozy blanket or two (bonus points if she can be in the sun). Joy has slowed down a bit as she has gotten older, but she still has plenty of energy to go on walks and explore our neighborhood (she typically gets two walks a day). Joy does like longer hikes/adventures as well, but less frequently as riding in the car is not her favorite thing in the world. Joy is very food-motivated and loves to put on a good performance for a treat. She knows sit / down / shake / spin (she will also do "roll-over" but only if the treat is particularly tasty). Unfortunately, as Joy aged she developed some anxiety, which has been exacerbated by having a young toddler in the home. The situation has resulted in a lot of stress for both Joy and her family. It is best for everyone to find a loving home for Joy without young children or other pets so that she can be more relaxed and secure on a day-to-day basis. Joy is vaccinated, chipped and spayed. Her adoption fee is $150

Adopt Joy and Receive Joy's Fund
Adopting a pet can be expensive, and we're trying to help by fundraising for each individual in need of adoption. After verifying the adoption, Joy's new family will receive the funds that their pet has raised.
$0.0 is Joy's current balance
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. If you adopted the Joy, thank you for providing a home and a loving family!
Please begin the process of claiming Joy's contribution here.
For adoptions in which nokillnetwork.org was the matchmaker and we have contact information for both parties, we make every effort to contact the adopting family. For adoptions that were not facilitated by nokillnetwork.org, we still encourage the adopting family to claim the contribution by submitting the necessary information.
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. The adopting family will be required to provide proof of adoption between 4-6 weeks after adoption. This is to ensure that the home is a good match and Joy was not returned. After we have verified the adoption, Joy’s balance will be sent to the adopting family. Our staff provides instructions and help throughout this process.
We want the Joy’s balance to go to the adopting family as a way to say thank you for providing a loving home and to help with pet care expenses. In the unfortunate event we cannot contact them and verify the adoption, Joy’s balance will remain in our general fund. This fund may be used to match contributions made to other adoptable pets, incentify other adoption-related actions, promote our mission, or support the operating expenses of nokillnetwork.org. If you would like to make a direct contribution to nokillnetwork.org to help us help other pets in need, you can go here. We appreciate your generosity and help!
