Foster insights/backstory:
Joy is a very sweet girl and loves her belly rubs. She can be a bit shy. She loves, loves, loves her milk bones!! When she greets you she nibbles on your fingers, it’s her way of saying “Hi” and is so sweet. She gets super excited to go on walks, and when given outdoor playtime. If she had her way, she would just be still and let you rub her or sit beside you. She needs a family with lots of love to give her and plenty of milk bones!
