My name is Joy. I am 10 years old and weigh 24 pounds. I am blind. I need a new home because the family I was with could no longer care for me. I am being fostered in Denver, CO.
I'm told I live up to my name as I bring lots of Joy to everyone that meets me. I'm sweet, beyond cute, and a love bug deluxe. Please don't be put off because of my sight issue because I'm sure not. Maybe I could be just the baby you need in your life.
Aside from the blindness Joy is in very good health. She knows her name and responds very well to voices. Once she has been somewhere once she can find her way again. She is a very happy girl and has her tail wagging.
She will need to be let out once during the night. She sleeps well in her kennel but will pee if left too long.
Joy needs a quieter home. She depends on the sounds and movements around her to get around. She is very content to curl up in your lap. She thrives on attention. She also needs at least one other dog in her new home. Foster mom has 3 and although she doesn't play with them she does like to hang out with them and is guided by them. Joy loves giving kisses.
Here's a little more about me:
Housetrained? Yes as long as I'm let out in a timely manner
Leash-trained? Yes just need you close for extra guidance
Rides well in car? Yes
Good with other dogs? Yes
Good with cats? Yes
Good with young children? Prefer older
Good with strangers? Yes
Shy or confident? Confident
Barks? No
Apartment qualified? Yes
Any Special needs or Health Issues? I am blind. Vet has determined it's cataracts.
Adoption Fee? $ 150

All our dogs are spayed/neutered (if six months and older), up to date on rabies and distemper, heartworm tested, and microchipped. Other medical needs diagnosed while in foster care are also treated prior to adoption.
MABTR requires a fenced in area from families who own their home, however we DO adopt to apartment complexes and communities where fences are not permitted due to leases and covenants. In these cases a leash law must be enforced. We do not accept invisible fencing.
MABTR only adopts to families residing in NE, CO, MO, KS, IA, WY, SD, ND, ID, UT, MT, MN, and NW AR due to the lack of volunteer support in other states, no exception even if you are willing to drive.
