Joyce 13-232 [1]

09/07/2013:

Introducing the prettiest girl on the block - 2-year-old, drop-dead gorgeous Miss Joyce. She came into RAGOM's care after living her life in a puppy mill. She has had litters of puppies, but NO MORE. She was spayed on Friday, and is never going to be momma again. She seems like a baby herself. I bet she was a very good momma. She and I were watching Animal Planet together, and there was a story about puppies. She heard them crying, and went thru the house looking for them. Joyce came in with her sisters, Becky and Liberty. Thank you to their hero Barry for doing the whole transport to bring them to safety.

Joyce has a beautiful, thick coat, and loves to be brushed. She is a short little thing, and is carrying about 20 extra pounds. So we have several walks a day. Joyce walks very nicely with just a flat collar. She prefers to walk on the right side. She will need someone committed to help her lose the extra weight.

The fact that Joyce came from a puppymill means that she does have some special requirements.

• She needs at least 1 well adjusted, confident dog in her new home, so she can continue to learn all about the good life.
• No children under 10 years old in her new home.
• A fence is not required with her, she just wants to be near you.

Joyce is very smart, does not bark, is completely housetrained, and has had free run of the house since the first day. She likes to hoard her toys in the corner of the living room.

Joyce will do best in a family that has a routine, and can give her some guidance to become comfortable with everyday happenings. Once she establishes a trust with you, she is your best friend.

Joyce will be at GOLDZILLA, please come and say hi.
