Joy’s story began in Tennessee, where she was found as a stray. Thanks to a kind volunteer, she was brought to safety and is now thriving in her foster home. She’s sharing her days with a furry friend she adores playing with, and she’s quickly proven herself to be a couch-loving sweetheart!
Joy’s Favorite Things
- Playing outside with her human and doggy friends
- Romping safely in a fenced yard
- Tug-of-war, chewing on toys, and chasing after balls
- Sneaky games of “keep away” that turn into fun chase sessions
- Cozy movie nights cuddled up on the couch with her people
Why You’ll Fall in Love
Joy has a heart of gold and eyes that will melt yours the moment she looks at you. She’s playful, affectionate, and full of personality—equally happy exploring outdoors or snuggling inside on a rainy day.
The Perfect Home
- A family or couple ready to share adventures and cuddles
- Ideally a doggy friend to play with

More about this rescue
Fetching Hearts Rescue is a non-profit 501(c)(3), volunteer run rescue that is dedicated to saving dogs who have been abused, neglected or abandoned and finding loving, caring homes for them.
We rely on a network of foster families so that each dog that we pull into the safety of our rescue is placed in a foster home and is no longer confined to a life in a kennel.
We are committed to helping dogs of all ages, breeds and sizes by partnering with shelters and animal control services right here in Connecticut as well as with several high kill shelters in the South.
We do a full assessment of each dog's temperament and health to ensure that we are able to find the most suitable home for them. Every dog is fully vetted - meaning they are up to date on vaccinations, spayed/neutered, heartworm negative and micro chipped - before being adopted.
The ASPCA estimates that approximately 3.3 million dogs in the United States enter shelters each year, of which approximately 670,000 are euthanized*. Our goal is to advocate for and provide education about the need for spaying and neutering to eliminate what has become an epidemic of unwanted dogs.*
