DOG'S DESCRIPTION: Meet Pup Joy! Joy's journey to a better life began in Alabama, where she was found alongside another dog, Goldie, who we believe is her mother (pic included). The two ended up in a crowded shelter, but thanks to K-9 Lifesavers, they now have a second chance and are each looking for loving forever homes.

Joy appears to be a Lab and Carolina Dog mix, and she is 100% adorable and lovable! She has the sweetest personality and, unlike many puppies her age, is surprisingly calm and easygoing. Joy gets along wonderfully with other dogs and would make a fantastic addition to just about any family. As a young puppy, Joy is at the perfect age for training, socialization, and bonding with her forever family. She is ready to grow into a loyal, loving companion who will bring years of happiness to the lucky person or family who adopts her.

If you're looking for a sweet, gentle puppy to fill your home with love and tail wags, Pup Joy is ready to meet you. Apply today!

Your new pet will require a refresher in house-training. K-9 Lifesavers strongly recommends all new adopters enroll their new pet into obedience training. This provides for an easier transition into a new home, ensures the dog remains well socialized, and helps form a bond between the dog and the new family.

Adoption fees cover basic vetting, rabies (if puppy is old enough), distemper/parvo vaccinations, deworming, monthly heartworm prevention while in our care (if old enough), monthly flea/tick prevention while in our care, and transport costs. K-9 Lifesavers will also cover the cost of spay/neuter at our partner vet at 6 months of age or reimburse adopter for up to the amount of our partner vet cost should you choose to spay/neuter at your own vet.

Thank you for considering a rescue dog!

The Carolina Dog, a primitive breed known for its wild ancestry, is a medium sized, agile, and intelligent dog originally found roaming freely in the Southeastern United States. With a distinctive appearance marked by erect ears, a bushy tail, and a sable coat, Carolina Dogs are highly adaptable, affectionate with their families, and wary of strangers, making them excellent watchdogs. Their natural hunting instincts and independence require consistent training and an active lifestyle to thrive in a loving home environment.

The Labrador Retriever is a popular and versatile dog breed known for its friendly demeanor and high intelligence. These dogs are often used as guide dogs for the visually impaired, search and rescue dogs, and excellent family pets. Labradors are known for their great sense of smell, strong build, and love of water, making them exceptional hunters and swimmers. With their loyal and loving nature, Labradors have rightfully earned their reputation as one of the most beloved dog breeds in the world.
