Joyce waited for someone who never came...

Joyce is a 2-year-old Mastiff who found herself scared and confused in the Lancaster shelter. When we first reached out to pull her, we were told she already had an adopter waiting. We were relieved... we thought her story was about to have a happy ending.

But the adopter never came back.

After Joyce was spayed, she sat and waited. And waited. Days passed. No one returned for her. A week later we saw her name appear on the E-List. By then she was sick, depressed, and completely shut down.

We dropped everything and rushed to the shelter. Twenty minutes later Joyce was walking out the door with us.

Now that she’s safe, the real Joyce is starting to show. Beneath the fear is a very sweet, gentle, submissive girl who just wants to feel safe again. She is dog friendly, appears to be house trained, and has been very respectful in the home.

Right now Joyce

Joyce waited for someone who never came...

Joyce is a 2-year-old Mastiff who found herself scared and confused in the Lancaster shelter. When we first reached out to pull her, we were told she already had an adopter waiting. We were relieved... we thought her story was about to have a happy ending.

But the adopter never came back.

After Joyce was spayed, she sat and waited. And waited. Days passed. No one returned for her. A week later we saw her name appear on the E-List. By then she was sick, depressed, and completely shut down.

We dropped everything and rushed to the shelter. Twenty minutes later Joyce was walking out the door with us.

Now that she’s safe, the real Joyce is starting to show. Beneath the fear is a very sweet, gentle, submissive girl who just wants to feel safe again. She is dog friendly, appears to be house trained, and has been very respectful in the home.

Right now Joyce is learning that people won’t leave her behind again. She’s slowly gaining confidence every day.

What she needs most now is a patient, loving home that will give her the time and reassurance she deserves.

Because the first person who promised her a home didn’t show up...

But the right one still can.
