JOY Dog Yola passes away

Posted by admin in Latest News , onNov 20, 2025

It is with great sadness that we share the passing of Yola. She was 12 and a half and passed away in July, having worked the Saturday before for Dulux at Builders Warehouse Gleneagles. (Photo below). She struggled one morning to get up and said she was done and I helped her pass with the kindness of our vet Dr Dave Erasmus from Kibler Park Veterinary Clinic. She had travelled from Hungary to join our family and worked as a JOY Dog and for Dulux and delighted all who met her. She was the most photogenic aof all the JOY Dogs and loved her life with us. She is sorely missed and will be remembered with fondness and love forever.
