My story

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

Meet Gypsy!

A loving nine-year-old Labrador Retriever mix currently in Newton, MA, whose calm heart and playful spirit make her the perfect balance of wisdom and joy.

Gypsy is that rare gem who brings both serenity and sparkle into every room. At about 45 pounds, she’s the perfect medium-sized girl to join you on strolls through the neighborhood or cozy evenings on the couch. With her sleek black coat and soulful eyes, she radiates gentle confidence and affection. Though she’s in her golden years, don’t let the word “senior” fool you, Gypsy still delights in a good game of fetch or a tug-of-war showdown with her favorite pull toy!

Her background as a therapy companion has given her a tender gift for tuning into the emotions of the people around her. She responds to attention with calm joy and a sweet, intuitive focus that will make you feel like the most important person in the world. Gypsy is housetrained, spayed, microchipped, and up to date on her vaccinations, and she has a steady daily rhythm that includes breakfast at 7 a.m., a peaceful morning walk, and dinner at 5 p.m.

She knows her basic commands (sit, paw, lie down, stay, leave it, and come here) and she’s eager to learn more through positive reinforcement. Gypsy is friendly with other dogs, wonderfully patient with children, and has never shown challenging behaviors. She takes nightly dental chews and a simple medication to support her dry skin, and she accepts it all with grace and ease.

This affectionate girl thrives on connection and routine. She doesn’t mind being left alone for a bit, but her happiest moments come when she’s part of the action, by your side as you go about your day. What she needs most now is a new loving family who will continue the love she’s always known. One who will walk with her, play with her, and invite her into their hearts.

Could your home be the next chapter in Gypsy’s journey? Reach out to adopt@joyfulpets.com to learn more about this loyal girl ready to share her love!
