My story

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

 Meet Joy….yes, she truly lives up to her name!
 Joy may start off a little shy, but once she’s away from the stress of the shelter, her sweet personality shines through. She’s an incredibly curious girl who loves to take her time on sniff walks, exploring the world with her nose and observing everything around her.
 She already knows “sit” and is a wonderful listener, always tuning in to the person she’s with. Joy loves affection, and especially enjoys gentle ear scratches- it’s easy to see how much she appreciates a calm, kind touch.
 With her curiosity and focus, Joy may even have the potential to be a great hunting or outdoor adventure companion. Most of all, she deserves a patient, loving home where she can continue to open up and feel safe. Joy is waiting for that special person to welcome her into her life... ask to meet her today :)

Joy recently met some social dogs at our shelter and did fine.  She wasn’t ready to play, but we hope that as she gets more experience in our shelter playgroups, she’ll be ready to show us her silly side with other dogs.  She`s currently sharing her shelter suite with a friend she met at the shelter.  Looking for a buddy for your dog?  Bring him/her to the shelter for a meet and greet and see if we`re a match!  Check out her playgroup video here:


To meet me, visit the Bradshaw Animal Shelter Tuesday-Sunday, Noon - 5:00 pm, Wednesdays, Noon - 6:00 pm. All adoptions are on a first-come, first-served basis. To help expedite the meet and greet process, please make note of my Animal ID number, and those of other dogs you might be interested in meeting. Be sure to bring your ID with you, too. We are located at 3839 Bradshaw Road, Sacramento. I look forward to getting to know you!
