Joy is Your Rancho Coastal Humane Society Pet of The Week

She's learning English.

(RCHS - Mark Viguri)

Joy is pet of the week at your Rancho Coastal Humane Society. She’s a 2-1/2 year old, 39 pound, female, Hound mix. She was rescued in Sonora then transferred through the FOCAS (Friends of County Animal Services) program.

She does not like sharing attention with other animals, so she needs to be the only dog in her home. Joy needs a patient family that will use positive reinforcement training and be at home with her much of the time, until she gets settled in.

The $145 adoption fee for Joy includes medical exam, spay, up to date vaccinations, registered microchip, and a one-year license if the adopter lives in the jurisdiction of San Diego Humane Society’s Department of Animal Services.
