Pet of the Month

Gioia (Joya) is a 4 year old Cavapoo and has been in Furry Friends for 3 years.  Her teams are the Los Altos Library, Los Altos Terraces, Stanford Ronald McDonald House, and KIPP Prize Academy in San Jose, where she gets to play fetch and run off leash with special needs children.  She is exhausted afterwards and sometimes naps when kids read to her at the library.  Other days we do Dog Agility at Half Moon Bay Dog Sports and play frisbee at the beach.  Gioia's best friend Hazel is an accomplished pet therapy dog and we love to do special visits together.  Gioia has earned the AKC Canine Good Citizen Title, along with the Advanced Trick Dog & Therapy Dog Titles.  It sure is fun learning new things together.
