My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Introducing Kovu!

A charming 6-year-old Shepherd mix hailing from Tacoma, WA, with a heart ready to travel anywhere for his next loving family. Kovu is a handsome dog with a playful spirit and a gentle demeanor that endears him to everyone he meets!

Kovu's vibrant personality shines through in his love for playing ball, engaging in fetch sessions, and embarking on long walks or runs. He's not just about fun and games; Kovu is also quite the scholar in canine etiquette, knowing basic commands such as sit, stay, wait, leave it, lay down, and shake.

When left alone for short periods, Kovu typically spends his time snoozing peacefully, showcasing his adaptability and ease with his surroundings. However, loud noises or car rides can trigger anxiety in him, so a comforting presence or a snug thunder jacket can help ease his nerves.

This delightful pooch is up to date on all his vaccinations, neutered, house-trained, and microchipped, making him the ideal furry companion for any loving family. Kovu's affectionate nature makes him a constant companion, always ready to shower his family with love and cuddles!

With his high energy levels, Kovu thrives in an environment where he can receive ample exercise and playtime. A fenced yard would be the perfect playground for him to frolic and burn off his energy daily.

One of Kovu's most endearing qualities is his protective instinct coupled with his love for cuddling. He'll not only keep you company but also ensure you feel safe and loved at all times!

For Kovu's future family, having a big yard for him to run and play in is essential, along with a home filled with love and affection. While he may be a bit stubborn at times, his loyalty and affection make him an invaluable addition to any household.

If you're interested in providing Kovu with his forever home, please reach out to adopt@joyfulpets.com for more information. Join Kovu on his journey to find a loving family where he can thrive and bring joy to everyone around him!

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

Our ultimate goal is to unite as many animals with loving pet parents as possible, so we strive to make it easy to adopt a dog or cat you have fallen in love with. All we ask is that you fill out an adoption application so that we have all the information we need to determine that you'll be able to provide a safe and compassionate home to one of our rescued pets. Once approved, all you need to do is sign our adoption agreement form and provide an adoption donation so that we can continue to save more animals every day and unite them with families just like yours.

Adoption application

The pets that we have rescued are in private foster care homes. Setting up private "meet and greet" appointments to meet the animals on our adoptables list is easy so potential adopters can be connected with fosters quickly. Simply contact us today to get started!
