Joyce’s story began as a stray on March 6, 2026, when she arrived with a microchip—but no one came for her. Thought to be 8 years old, this gentle senior German Shepherd is already spayed and has a stunning tan and black coat with bright brown eyes that radiate warmth. Despite her age, Joyce is surprisingly energetic, playful, and eager to please—she could easily pass for 5 or 6!
Smart, attentive, and full of love, Joyce knows how to sit and shake on command. She’s been sharing her kennel with her friend Hopper, and the pair get along beautifully, showing off her friendly and social nature. Joyce is a perfect blend of calm cuddles and lively play, dreaming of the forever family she’s been waiting for.
