Shelter Me: Joya is looking for a family who loves kisses and cuddles

6abc's Shelter me spotlighted MatchDog Animal Rescue, a foster-based rescue community based out of Atco, New Jersey. Volunteers are from all over the area in New Jersey and Pennsylvania.

MatchDog's main mission is rescuing at risk dogs from high kill shelters, providing temporary safe homes through their foster program and finally, matching dogs with loving forever families.

Krista Madden with MatchDog Rescue introduced us to her furry friend, Joya.

Joya is about one years old and is believed to be a whippet. She is approximately 11 pounds.

Joya's foster family tells us, "Joya is a total cuddle bug and super playful. She loves nothing more than to snuggle up on top of us. She also loves to sneak lots of puppy kisses!"

MatchDog Rescue hosts adoption events every Saturday from 10 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. at their MatchPad located at 822 White Horse Pike, Atco, New Jersey. Joya will be featured this Saturday for anyone interested in meeting her!
