Story

We adopted Appa a bit over a year ago, as a puppy. He was born October 22, 2024. He is a sweet, smart dog. He has learned to sit, lay down, "place" (go lay down in a certain spot), stay (we are working to extend the time, but he can "stay" with reminders for almost a minute). Appa is 100% housetrained. We have 3 cats who he loves and is very gentle with. We have 2 children (tween & teen) whom he adores. Issues are in getting him leash trained. He is very distracted outside and pulls a lot on the leash. We do not have a yard, but I have taken him to a friend's fenced in yard and he loves it. He loves to play fetch. We are experiencing a shift in our family make up and now have only one adult, so can no longer provide the care he needs, thus are looking to rehome him. Appa would make a great pet for someone with a fenced in yard and time to spend indoors with him. He likes to be close to "his people".

Story

Appa is a very smart, loyal, quick to learn dog who loves to play fetch and tug. He is great at catching balls and frisbees, and loves to eat ice cubes. He has learned several commands inside the house - sit, laydown, wait, off, place. He is eager to please. Appa is fully housetrained. He does not do well on a leash... yet. He could learn to walk on a leash, but needs practice. Appa would do very well with a fenced yard for running and playing fetch. He is a great balance of fun and cuddling up beside his family.

She enjoys puzzles, hikes and cozy quality time.Luna has a history of behavioral issues but is very responsive to training. We're looking for an experienced adopter who can give her the care and structure she needs to thrive. She is 7 years old and 35lb and she has a very cute stubby tail.

Story

Harley is a great companion dog. He gets along well with other dogs and cats but would really prefer to be the "one and only". He probably won't do well with younger children. After breakfast, Harley enjoys his morning walks. He just loves the water and spends much of the summer in his kiddie pool. Harley is a senior rescue dog acquired about 5 years ago from Dakin Humane Society. His actual age is unknow but is at least 10 years. Harley loves to run around in his fenced in yard. He has unlimited access through his doggie door to the backyard. Unfortunately health issues as well as new to a "fixed" income have made it difficult to continue to care for Harley as he deserves. I am no longer able to take him on walks or to groom him as I once was. I am looking to rehome Harley so that he gets the love an care he needs.

Story

She is s a loving dog. She loves head scratches and running outside just like any other dog. She is a big breed and needs a lot of love, attention and training. She deserves a home that has time for her to grow and prosper. She was born some time in December ‘24 I’ve had her since March ‘25. She is still a puppy with a big heart. I have a busy schedule and she needs more time than I have for her right now. I moved, so I’ve had to work more to make ends meet. She deserves the whole world. She still has trouble making it outside on time to use the bathroom. She has accidents in her cage, but has been improving slowly. She gets along with other dogs, she is very playful. She gets along with my house cat. She’s just recently finding her “voice”. She’s now due for her rabies shot after a year. If anyone can provide the space, time, financial stability and training she needs please reach out. She needs a lot of help I haven’t been able to provide properly. Thank you.

Story

Meet Jax! An eight-year-old Boxer mix who is ready to travel anywhere for his forever family! Weighing in at a solid 70 pounds, Jax might just think he's a lap dog with his affectionate, sloppy kisses and an unwavering desire to be close to his humans. Imagine this gentle giant curled at your feet, or better yet, joining in a lively game of keep-away with gleeful children. His joy is palpable, especially when he performs his signature "jumping jax" at the mere mention of a walk! Jax has a heart full of resilience and love, ready to bring warmth to any 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! Living with Jax means embracing his high-energy spirit and managing his sensitive stomach with the right diet. An enclosed yard, constant companionship, and a routine filled with walks and playtime would ensure his days are as joyful as he is. Does your home have room for a big-hearted boxer mix with a love for life? Could you be the one to keep Jax's tail wagging happily ever after? If so, please contact us at adopt@joyfulpets.com, and let's chat about the joy Jax can bring into your life! Also, Jax is open to a long-distance adoption—love knows no distance when finding your perfect companion!
