Story

Meet Rosie! A spirited one-and-a-half-year-old Labrador Retriever mix currently living in Liberty Hill, TX, whose golden coat and bright white accents mirror the sunshine she brings wherever she goes. Rosie is the kind of dog who’s always ready for adventure, whether it’s bounding after a tennis ball, trotting down an off-leash trail, or galloping across a big backyard with the wind in her fur! A natural athlete with a heart full of love, Rosie thrives on outdoor playtime and would absolutely adore a bit of land or a spacious yard where she can stretch her legs and explore to her heart’s content. Playful and loyal, Rosie is also a big fan of training time—especially when tasty treats are involved! She’s already picked up handy commands like “sit,” “stay,” “down,” and “leave it,” and with her food-motivated personality, she’s eager to learn even more with positive reinforcement. When it’s time to wind down, this sweet girl is a cuddle pro, happy to snuggle up after a day full of fun! Rosie is wonderful with children of all ages and enjoys the company of other dogs, especially those her own size who share her zest for play. She would be a fantastic match for a family with other large dogs or anyone simply looking for a loyal, four-legged best friend. While she handles short periods alone just fine and is crate-trained, she truly shines when she’s part of the daily rhythm of a home—sharing time, space, and love with her people. Her one quirk? Vacuums and electric house tools are not her jam—they’re a little too noisy and unpredictable for her liking. But hey, aren’t we all allowed our pet peeves? Fully vaccinated, microchipped, spayed, and house-trained, Rosie is ready to leap into her next chapter! Could your home be the one where she’ll run, romp, and rest her head? Reach out to adopt@joyfulpets.com and tell us—can you picture Rosie as your new adventure buddy?

Special Needs

Chili

Blue Heeler Australian Cattle Dog

Female, 1 yr 7 mos

Addison, TX

Size

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

Details

Good with dogs, Needs special attention, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Chili is a heeler mix who was found wandering out and about by a Good Samaritan. When this kind soul offered Chili a ride, she never looked back and away they went! Chili's new friend really wanted to keep Chili, but her dog had other ideas and it soon became clear that Chili would do better in another home. Chili is microchipped and attempts were made to contact her original owner, but that person never responded. We suspect that's because Chili is deaf. However, she's also smart as a whip and eager to please. Her foster mom has been able to teach Chili many commands using sign language and would be happy to share what she knows with any potential adopter. Chili is playful and silly and loving and would be a great addition to any family that has a little time and patience to continue her training. She's been around lots of older kids at a riding stable, where she spends her days, and has been well-mannered with all of them. She has a couple of dog buddies, too, but kitties aren't her thing. Chili is happy and healthy and would love to live her best life with someone like you. Please consider opening your heart and home to this beautiful puppy who has so much to offer. You'll be glad you did. For more information, please TEXT Mary at 214-783-2060 and she'll call you back!

Stella

Shepherd (Unknown Type)

Female, 4 yrs 3 mos

Dallas, TX

Size

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Details

Not good with kids, Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Meet Stella! A spirited four-year-old Mixed Breed beauty currently living in Rochester, MN, whose essence is a blend of high-energy adventure and heart-melting affection, all wrapped in a cream coat with charming white accents. At about 75 pounds, Stella is a big-hearted girl with a big personality to match! She's the kind of pup who doesn’t play favorites—any toy is her favorite toy, and playtime is always the highlight of her day. Whether it squeaks, bounces, or tugs, Stella’s ready to turn it into a joyful game! She thrives on activity and companionship, making her a wonderful match for someone who loves long walks, outdoor romps, or backyard ball-chasing marathons. Though she hasn’t been through formal obedience classes, Stella knows most basic commands and responds well with consistency and encouragement. She's house-trained, spayed, and microchipped, and has a healthy bill of health—just waiting for a pet parent who can offer her the time, structure, and attention she needs. Like many bright and energetic dogs, Stella does best when her mind and body are both kept busy. Training classes using positive reinforcement would be a fun way to bond and help her continue to blossom. Stella is friendly with other dogs and enjoys canine companionship, but she's not compatible with small children and would thrive in an adult-only home. She’s used to spending the workday on her own, but her true happiness comes from quality time with her people—whether that's snuggles on the couch or play sessions in the yard. Her sensitive side means that big changes, like new people or being left out of the action, can make her anxious, so a consistent routine and patient caregivers will help her feel secure. Loyal, playful, and full of personality, Stella is a loving companion ready for a fresh start with a family who can match her energy and give her the attention she needs. Could your home be the next chapter in Stella’s journey of joy and tail-wagging adventures? To learn more about Stella or to inquire about adoption, please contact adopt@joyfulpets.com!

Kenna

Boxer Weimaraner

Female, 6 yrs 2 mos

Dallas, TX

Size

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

Details

Not good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Meet Kenna! A spirited six-year-old Boxer/Weimaraner mix currently living in Austin, TX, whose essence is a joyful whirlwind of energy wrapped in a stunning white coat with brown brindle patches. Kenna is an explorer at heart—part adventurer, part cuddle bug, and all heart! With 54 pounds of enthusiasm and affection, this girl is most in her element when she’s tearing through a fenced yard, playing tug-of-war, or solving a tricky treat puzzle. She's mastered a whole toolkit of commands—sit, shake, lay down, up, spin, high five, and wait/okay—which she proudly demonstrates in exchange for attention or a dental chew (her absolute favorite treat in the world!). A born runner and a big fan of playtime, Kenna thrives on activity and routine. She’d flourish in a home where her new family enjoys outdoor adventures and can keep up with her zest for life. She adores people and will happily shadow her caregiver around the house, offering soulful gazes and enthusiastic tail wags! She’s deeply affectionate and forms strong bonds with her people, which makes her prone to separation anxiety when left alone suddenly—especially in confined spaces. Leaving her with a favorite toy or a stuffed treat helps her stay calm while you're away. She also has a fear of running water, likely due to past trauma, and will do best with outdoor bucket baths rather than showers or tubs. Her guardian has worked hard to ease this fear with patience and understanding, and Kenna continues to thrive in the right environment. True to her Boxer roots, Kenna has a strong protective streak and a watchful eye. She’s been known to get excited (and vocal) when she spots what she believes to be intruders—whether that’s a squirrel, a biker, or a wayward jogger in the park. With a confident caregiver using positive reinforcement and a steady hand during walks or vet visits, Kenna stays grounded and well-behaved. Kenna’s ideal home includes a fenced yard, an active routine, and a pet parent who shares her love of outdoor adventures and who will respect her sensitivities while embracing her endless love. While she’s never lived with another dog, she does great at doggy daycare and may do well with a similarly sized, confident canine companion. Cats, on the other hand, are not her thing—she tends to see them more as critters to chase! Kenna is spayed, microchipped, house-trained, up-to-date on vaccines, and on a special diet to keep her feeling her best. This dazzling, doting, and deeply loyal pup is ready to fill your life with laughter, loyalty, and all the tail-wagging affection you can handle! Reach out to adopt@joyfulpets.com to learn more about making this loving adventurer part of your family!

Story

Meet George! A gentle ten-and-a-half-year-old Labrador Retriever currently living in Flower Mound, TX, whose essence is a calm, loving presence wrapped in a soft white coat and 110 pounds of sweet, soulful affection. George is everything people adore about Labradors; laid-back, loyal, and full of quiet charm! His favorite things in life? Pets, walks, snacks, and leaning in close for a good cuddle. He may be a senior, but don’t let the age fool you, this big guy still enjoys his daily strolls, especially when treats might be involved! At home, he’s a serene companion who naps contentedly when left alone, happy to snooze the hours away until his people return. Polite and well-mannered, George knows all the basics; sit, stay, come, potty, lay down, and even waits patiently for direction before heading through a doorway. It’s easy to see that this wise fellow just wants to please. He hasn’t had formal training, but you'd never guess it with how respectfully he carries himself. Crate trained and fully house-trained, he fits seamlessly into a loving home environment. George gets along beautifully with other dogs and has done wonderfully with children 10 and up. He’s never shown a hint of aggression, even around food or wildlife. While his cat compatibility is still a mystery, his easygoing nature suggests he may do just fine with the proper introductions. This big-hearted Lab has a couple of harmless fatty lumps that have been checked out, just a part of being a huggable senior. Previous bloodwork revealed mild hypothyroidism and slightly elevated liver enzymes. While medication wasn’t started at the time, George isn’t currently on treatment, and no follow-up testing has been done. To support his continued health, a veterinary consultation will be included with his adoption, and we’ll cover the cost of any recommended medication for the first month. His favorite place to hang out? By your side or lounging peacefully on the patio. He doesn’t always realize how large he is, but that only adds to his lovable charm! George needs a caring family ready to welcome a mellow, affectionate soul into their hearts and homes. Could your home be the perfect place for this gentle giant to spend his golden years? Ready to meet the lovable Labrador who’s just waiting to lean in for his next pet? Reach out to adopt@joyfulpets.com!
