Joy is a sweet, chocolate-colored dog who’s believed to be under three years old. Lucky is her feline best friend. When the two were left behind in a Brooklyn apartment, kind neighbors kept them fed until officers from the 72nd Precinct stepped in. The officers saw how close they were and worked to keep them together while we found a foster home that could welcome them both. Joy has been friendly with everyone she’s met so far, and it’s easy to see how comfortable these two are in each other’s company. We’re getting to know them as they settle into foster care and will share more about their personalities and routines soon. Both girls have vet visits coming up.
This dog's breed isn't known, so here's general guidance for mixes.
🧠 Temperament
Joy is a sweet, chocolate-colored dog who’s believed to be under three years old. Every dog is an individual — temperament depends far more on this dog's history and personality than on breed.
🎾 Exercise
Most adult dogs do well with 30-60 minutes of walking a day plus play and sniffing time.
✂️ Grooming
Brush regularly, bathe as needed, keep nails trimmed and ears clean.
🏙️ In a NYC apartment
When the two were left behind in a Brooklyn apartment, kind neighbors kept them fed until officers from the 72nd Precinct stepped in. Ask the rescue about leash manners, elevator and stair comfort, alone-time tolerance, and whether the dog settles in a small space.
