Joy, November 2010

Joy was born June 13th, 2009. She had 5 siblings, 4 were released and 1 became a guide dog. Joy had her IFT in December 2010 and passed, she was in harness training for a while and then went into the Heeling Autism training. While she was in Heeling Autism training she suddenly became very ill. She had a very aggressive form of cancer and had to be put to sleep in early January 2012. She was raised in my region and I puppy sat her many times. She was such a sweet, cuddly, energetic, girl and she will be very missed. My heart goes out to her puppy raiser's. :(
