Adoption fee: $300 Joiya is a beautiful black and tan female approximately 4 years of age. She is underweight at 74 lbs but is quickly filling in with healthy muscle mass. She had a rough start when she entered our organization, requiring time to recover from severe kennel stress. You might say she is re-discovering her puppyhood years. Initially, this girl was confused with the indoor life. Dog beds, stairs, and dog-doors were daunting. However, with the help of her co-foster, Teddy, she rapidly learned to navigate household obstacles and even takes liberty to rearrange personal items with mischievous pride! She is a busy gal, driven by curiosity with any activity that pops up, but she will quickly rest quietly in the home. Joiya greets all humans with a friendly demeanor but may not hold still very long for pets and affection. Slowly she is parking herself longer and learning to appreciate these tender moments with humans, especially when she sees her pack mates melt at the chance for family conversations and hugs. Joiya seems to gravitate to the company of other dogs who seem to give her confidence and direction. She tries her best to engage them in play, but she can be a bit awkward and a tad pushy. Supervision is recommended until she understands her play boundaries. Her other co- foster, Whiskey, has grown into a well-matched playmate where the two often engage in ‘chase me with the ball’. If no one is game for fun, she will simply entertain herself by romping about with any available ball or Nyla bone. Joiya enjoys long walks where she has learned to ignore distractions along the way. She is housebroken and enters her crate on her own where she sleeps quietly through the night. This is one happy girl who will delight you with a jolly grateful spirit.

(.gcgsr/adopt_info.html) We operate within a reasonable driving distance from the Greater Sacramento area, the Central Valley down to Merced, and Lake Tahoe. A reasonable driving distance is determined by where one of our volunteers is willing to drive within our areas of service. That means we don't adopt out of our area, to Southern California, or out of state.
