Story
Update: We had posted to rehome Billie before, but needed more time with her because we love her so much. We sent her to a 3 week intensive training program and she did well but has regressed with us. We believe with the right environment and honors she could thrive, and are heartbroken that isn't us with our full times jobs and two young kids. She has so many wonderful qualities and is a very sweet dog, but is clearly she is stressed out living with our lively young children and in a more crowded area (we had to move into a condo a couple months ago). She is reactive and has shown signs of aggression, but only with dogs. She would benefit from a more experienced and confident dog owner. She may also do well with older kids in the house. She also lived with a cat for a year and was very gentle and playful. She will be 4 this November and came from a great breeder and has no health issues.

Onyx is very friendly. He loves to run and be outdoors. Also loves walks. He would need a fenced in yard. He has lots of energy and loves attention. He doesn't get the time and attention he deserves with his current family. Unfortunately we are too busy to give him the time he deserves. Onyx was born 12/12/2024.

Story
Currently helping a friend find her baby a home. This is Abby. Abby has been with her owner since she was 3 months old, unfortunately due to displacement shes unable to take her where she is and would like to find Abby a suitable home. Abby is 10+ years old and due to her age its a slim chance of adoption through a shelter. With age comes a little bit of sas and aggression. Which is why we are seeking a quiet setting for her. We’re hoping for someone a little older, no kids or other pets (she did live with other animals and did fine but not sure how shed do with other animals she doesnt know) and someone with experience. Abby will bark if someone is approaching the home but will quiet on command. She enjoys being rubbed and cuddled but not smothered. She is pee pad trained but can also go outside! No shots. No spayed.

Due to unfortunate and unseen health issues in the family,I am having to Rehome my English Mastiff ,as I am no longer able to care for him and walk him as needed. He is a really good dog very well trained loves hiking being in the water and running, he is really good with young children and adults alike. He is a cuddle bug. Loves to be right at your feet whenever he can. At first meeting , he is really skittish , but he slowly comes along and warms up to you. Hes not fixed. If you love big dogs and have the space for him to run look no further hes the dog for you.

Brandy

American Pit Bull Terrier

Female, 7 yrs 10 mos
Amherst, MA

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Story
Meet Brandy! A sweet and snuggly eight-year-old American Pit Bull Terrier mix from Bridgeport, CT, who’s ready to be the star of her very own home. With her stunning fawn-colored coat and soulful eyes, Brandy is a loyal companion who thrives when she’s the center of your world. Weighing about 60 pounds, she strikes a lovely balance between playful energy and calm cuddles—perfect for someone looking for both affection and activity. Brandy’s favorite things include belly rubs, rope toys, and soaking up the sun outside. She’s deeply affectionate and often rests her head on your lap just to feel close. She knows several commands such as “sit,” “high-five,” “come here,” and “get in your bed,” and she continues to make great progress with consistent training and positive reinforcement. Brandy is spayed, microchipped, up to date on vaccinations, and fully house-trained. She’s currently working with a professional trainer, and the difference is already showing. She now walks calmly on a leash using her training collar, responds well to guidance, and has even joined a friend on walks without barking or lunging. Her trainer recommends more socialization and regular outings—and Brandy is rising to the challenge with grace and continued improvement. While Brandy hasn’t done well living with other dogs in the past and prefers not to share her home with them, this simply reflects her desire for a peaceful, predictable environment where she can feel secure. She has done well around cats and would thrive in a home with adults who understand her breed and are committed to helping her continue to grow. A fenced yard would be the icing on the cake for this sun-loving girl. Brandy is ready to shine as your one and only—bringing warmth, loyalty, and companionship to the right home. If you think you might be that special match, reach out to adopt@joyfulpets.com and learn more about bringing Brandy into your life!
