Joy was the one who inspired me to step out of my comfort zone and discover a new path—one I could never have imagined would unfold so beautifully. Through her, I found the courage to embark on a journey of healing and transformation, not only for myself but for others as well. Her boundless love has blossomed into something extraordinary within Joyful Support, a true testament to the healing power of unconditional love and deep connection.

In my most challenging moments, Joy's unwavering love and gentle spirit have been a constant source of light. In times of doubt and uncertainty, she stood by my side, reminding me of the strength found in love, patience, and resilience.

Joy is also a certified therapy dog with St. John Ambulance, where she continues to spread her light to those who need it most. Whether it’s offering comfort to a stranger, extending a gentle paw, or simply being present, she embodies compassion and healing. Joy’s presence is a gift that continues to inspire and uplift, and I am forever grateful for her steadfast support and the profound impact she has had on my life.

Luna, the youngest addition to our family, is a vibrant and energetic black Labrador, just 1.5 years old. She’s full of life and excitement, especially when it comes to meeting new dogs and people. Luna thrives on being close to everyone, her joyful spirit contagious to all who meet her.

Training Luna has been an absolute delight. Her drive for toys makes it easy to engage her and help her adjust to new surroundings. Despite her young age, Luna already shows signs of becoming a calm and confident dog in many environments, as long as we remain clear and consistent in what we ask of her.

Luna is the perfect example of the importance of giving your dog a job—something to focus on—before they find one for themselves. Her boundless energy, when channeled the right way, has made her not only a joy to train but also a wonderful companion in every aspect of our lives.

Charlie is a beautiful soul, a rescue with a heart of gold. He’s a mix of Labrador and Weimaraner, and he came to us at just 10 months old, we were already his fifth owner. His story reflects not only the challenges many rescue dogs face but also the incredible resilience and potential within them.

Charlie’s journey hasn’t been without its difficulties. He struggles with confidence and needs time to adjust to unfamiliar situations. However, with patience, understanding, and love, he has grown so much over the years. His confidence has blossomed, and we’ve witnessed him transform into a calmer, more relaxed version of himself when he feels safe in his surroundings.

While certain people or dogs still challenge him, Charlie is a living example of what’s possible with our approach. He shows us, day by day, that with the right support and environment, even the most hesitant hearts can find peace and trust again. Charlie’s growth has been one of the greatest rewards, reminding us that every dog deserves a chance to shine.
