When puppies are abandoned at birth, they face unique challenges compared to those left behind later in life. Joy entered the world blind, deaf, and without teeth, landing on a cold, unfamiliar sidewalk.
At such a young age, puppies struggle to maintain their body temperature on their own, making it crucial for his rescuers to provide extra special care.
The effort to nurture Joy certainly paid off. His caregivers were fond of his sweet nature that blossomed as he grew stronger.
Within a week, Joy was eagerly drinking milk from a baby bottle, getting familiar with the comforting arms of humans and the warmth of their company.
Like most young pups, Joy spent a good deal of his early days napping. By the third week with his rescue family, he had formed a bond with a plush white Siberian tiger toy, his constant companion on his little adventures.
Joy thrived and became a cherished part of his new family, ready to be introduced to other dogs.
Despite being much smaller than his new canine siblings, Joy won them over with his spirited personality. His bigger brothers enjoyed his company as he clambered over them, and Joy quickly became a beloved member of the group.
As Christmas approached, the team at Howl of a Dog received wonderful news: Joy had found his forever home. “A Dutch family fell in love with Joy and wanted to adopt him,” they shared enthusiastically.
Needless to say, Joy was thrilled about the prospect of having his own family.
“The family was so eager to meet Joy that they couldn’t wait another day,” rescuers mentioned. “They planned a road trip across Europe to pick him up personally.” Such dedication from the family made it clear that this was a perfect match for Joy.
The rescuers met Joy’s new parents in Vienna, a meeting point halfway across the continent. To ease the transition, they brought along Joy’s favorite toy, a comforting reminder of his first home as he embarked on his new adventure.
Joy’s new family welcomed him with open arms, overjoyed to make him a part of their lives. This once-abandoned pup has truly found a place to belong, enjoying every moment in his loving home.
Joy’s story is a testament to the incredible transformation love and care can bring. If you’re inspired to give a puppy a loving home, consider visiting the Howl of a Dog website for more information.
