My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Adoption Fee:  $175.00

 

Joy to the World!

Little Joy doesn't know what a blessing she is. She was kept outside a lot  and badly neglected for most of her life. She weighs 6.6 pounds and we were told she is 7 years old. Also she was full of worms when we got her but has been treated for them and is clear. Another few days and she would have been in serious trouble! She also had a gol f ball sized mammary tumor which has been successfully removed. And she had a dental and lost quite a few teeth but still has some!   She is so scared of being picked up...forces herself into a corner. But once up, she enjoys being stroked and sung to. And she will tuck her little head into your neck.  She wants to be friends...will dance around and give your fingers kisses while her tail is going a mile a minute! She just needs someone who is patient and gentle to help her learn to trust. She gets along with her foster brothers and sisters so is good with other animals. And she appears to know to use pee pads. Watching Joy blossom will bring joy to your heart!
 
She's getting well for now waiting in Chattanooga for her forever family.
