Story
OTHER PETS: Checkers was a bit awkward with the other dogs she's met at TJO, but she did initiate some play! She has a bit of a pushy play style, but was also wary of a dog that was more pushy with her. She would likely do best in the home with a dog that can match her energy and play style, while having the ability to settle separately. [Case-By-Case (Must Meet First)]OWNER EXPERIENCE: Checkers has been found to have hyperthyroidism and would do best with someone that has an established relationship with their own primary veterinarian. Experience with positive reinforcement or willingness to learn. [Some Experience]KIDS: While Checkers has a good energy level, she has moments where she can get excited and may jump up or run into someone's legs, and can also be intense about her food. She would likely do best with kids that are old enough to understand how to interact with her and when to let her have her own space. [10+ / Dog Savvy (Must Meet First)]ACTIVITY LEVEL: Checkers has a good level of energy outside the kennel, being happy to chase some toys and then settle on her own when she's done. She would likely be a good companion for walks around the neighborhood, though like many dogs she does tend to pull on the leash when she's excited about where she's going. She would do great with various types of both mental and physical enrichment, and will likely be a great hiking partner once she relaxes in her new home! [Good Walking Buddy]VETERINARY CARE: Checkers has the possibility of having hypothyroidism, as her T4 levels were below range, and will need a good relationship with an established vet to ensure that she remains healthy and happy. [Above Average]LEVEL OF TRAINING NEEDED: Checkers is still at the beginning of her positive training journey, and will do best learning with someone who can offer patience while she adjusts. Positive reinforcement training will help Checkers not only learn her basic cues & skills, but also help her to bond with her new owner. [Moderate]GROOMING: Routine brushing will help to minimize shedding in the home. [Minimal]March 25, 2026, 12:41 pm

Story
***IN FOSTER--call to schedule a meet***This gentle old man still has some pep in his step & enjoys being playful when the mood strikes him. He does not like his skin tags being touched, he would NOT be a good fit for a home with young children.OTHER PETS: Diné is comfortable and independent around other dogs, without much interest in play. He would likely get along with other relaxed dogs that do not have much interst in play. Diné should meet any dog he would be living with prior to adoption. [Likely (Must Meet First)] OWNER EXPERIENCE: Someone experienced with positive reinforcement, and dogs in general, would be best for Diné; he will need someone who can monitor him and ensure he does not over exhert himself while doing fun things. [Some Experience] KIDS: Diné is social and enjoys interacting with humans, but he also enjoys his quiet time. He would best fit with a moderately active to quiet home where he has his own place to relax and has humans who will respect his boundaries during quiet time. [13+ / Dog Savvy (Must Meet First)]ACTIVITY LEVEL: Diné is currently going through acceptance phase of aging, sometimes he forgets that he can't be as zoomie as he used to and boy does he get going - but he gets tired pretty quick. Engaging in lower impact activity (walking vs off leash running for example) will allow him to stay active for longer periods of time but care needs to be taken to ensure he doesn't push himself too hard. Regular, appropriate exercise combined with mental enrichment such as food puzzles and games will help meet his needs. [Couch Potato / Good Walking Buddy] VETERINARY CARE: Senior dogs need a good relationship with their vet to ensure they are monitored appropriately to support healthy aging. Staying on top of any potentially harmful masses is important for his future health. It is important to note that Diné is uncomfortable with restraint during exam and may benefit from fear free practices or medication to help him relax beforehand. [Above Average] LEVEL OF TRAINING NEEDED: Positive reinforcement training will help Diné bond with his new owner as he continues to learn life skills and fun tricks while building confidence.

Meet Jax! An eight-year-old Boxer mix who is ready to travel anywhere for his forever family!

Though he prefers not to be left alone for long, he’s a perfect companion when around other dogs he knows or people—even if just in another room. He adores the great outdoors, and his enthusiasm shines during playdates and adventures at the local dog park. He’s sociable with dogs of all sizes, though his recall may need a little polish—Jax is ever curious about the wildlife he encounters!

Story
Meet Phoebe! A gentle almost seven-year-old Akita/Boxer mix currently in Southington, CT, whose essence is a golden glow of warmth wrapped in soft white accents and a heart full of affection. Phoebe is the kind of companion who turns ordinary days into something special, whether she is trotting happily beside you on a car ride or lounging peacefully nearby as the day unfolds. She has a playful spirit that shines brightest in a fenced backyard, where she can run and chase after her favorite tennis balls or proudly carry around her beloved stuffed toys. Yet inside the home, Phoebe shows her balanced nature, happily relaxing during quiet moments but always ready to spring into playtime the second you are! Phoebe shares a beautiful connection with people of all ages, especially children. She has spent time with little ones ranging from newborns to young children and welcomes their hugs, dress-up games, and giggles with a calm and loving demeanor. Her gentle patience makes her a comforting and joyful presence in a family setting. She already knows sit, come, and give paw, and while she has not had formal training, she is eager to continue learning through positive reinforcement. Phoebe is also comfortable being left alone for short periods and thrives on a steady routine, including her twice-daily meals. Phoebe is in excellent health, up to date on vaccinations, spayed, house-trained, and microchipped. She is friendly with other dogs and enjoys social play, while her experience with cats is still a bit of a mystery. Loud noises like thunderstorms can make her feel timid, so a calm, reassuring environment helps her feel safe. Phoebe is looking for a new loving home with a fenced yard and a family who will share in her playful adventures and cozy downtime. Could Phoebe be the joyful, golden-hearted companion your family has been waiting for? To learn more about welcoming her into your life, please reach out to adopt@joyfulpets.com!

Maya

Boxer American Pit Bull Terrier

Female, 8 yrs 9 mos

Story
Meet Maya! A serene eight-and-a-half-year-old brindle-coated sweetheart currently living in Doylestown, PA, whose quiet presence is like a soft blanket on a chilly evening. With a gentle gaze and calm demeanor, Maya may take a moment to warm up but when she does, she’ll melt right into your lap and your heart. Weighing in at around 35 pounds, Maya is a medium-sized girl with a passive personality and a preference for the cozy comforts of indoor life. Her nickname? “Vampire dog” because she much prefers the nighttime for her outdoor adventures! She isn’t one to demand constant attention, but when she chooses to snuggle up beside you, it’s like being chosen by a tiny, fuzzy queen. Maya hasn’t shown interest in toys much, especially after realizing her companion Kalle can be a bit protective over them, but she finds her joy in soft bedding, calm environments, and being close to her trusted humans. She’s crate trained, house-trained, and takes everything at her own peaceful pace. Thunder makes her nervous and she prefers a slower approach when meeting new people. Quick movements can unsettle her, but patience and treats go a long way in helping her feel safe. Though Maya hasn’t had formal training, her quiet nature makes her a lovely presence in a calm home. She’s not a fan of cats and may be a bit shy around unfamiliar dogs, but she remains gentle and respectful. Maya has been Kalle’s quiet companion for years, and they’ve built a strong bond together. While Maya would be perfectly content in a loving home of her own, she would be especially happy if Kalle could join her in this next chapter. Are you ready to welcome this gentle little night owl into your heart? Contact adopt@joyfulpets.com to learn more about Maya!
