My personality

My story

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

Meet Buddy!

A spirited two-year-old Rhodesian Ridgeback/Carolina Dog mix currently living in Indio, CA, whose essence is a radiant blend of affection and golden sunshine wrapped in well-mannered joy.

Buddy is the kind of companion who seems straight out of a feel-good movie—loyal, playful, and always ready to bring a smile to your face! With a naturally calm and friendly disposition, he’s the perfect balance of charm and discipline. He may not have had formal obedience training, but you’d never guess it with the way he proudly follows commands like "sit," "stay," "fetch," and even "go to your bed." His sharp mind and eagerness to please make him a dream for anyone looking for a well-mannered buddy—yes, pun intended!

At about 65-70 pounds of affectionate energy, Buddy is large-sized with a heart that’s anything but. He gets along famously with children, other dogs, and even cats! While he could adapt to different home environments, Buddy would thrive in a home with kids and another friendly dog to play with. He’s the kind of dog who will greet strangers with a friendly wag and a sparkle in his eye, then gently curl up beside you for a cozy nap after a stroll around the neighborhood.

This golden boy loves his walks (preferably when it’s not too hot) and can never resist a good game with his favorite toys—ropes and bouncy balls being at the top of the list. He handles alone time like a champ, but when you return, get ready for the happiest reunion dance you’ve ever seen! One of his cutest quirks? Buddy loves to watch TV—yes, really! Whether it's an animal show or a lively cartoon, he’ll sit by your side like the best binge-watching pal ever.

Fully house-trained, neutered, vaccinated, and in great health, Buddy is all set to bring joy to a new loving home that has time, affection, and the stability to truly cherish him. He doesn’t ask for much—just love, companionship, and a comfy spot on the couch (preferably near the TV!).

Ready to meet the sweet soul who might just be your new best friend? Contact adopt@joyfulpets.com to learn more about bringing Buddy home—could he be the golden thread your family’s been missing?

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.

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!
