Story

Hi everyone, we are looking to rehome Wolf due to a new member of the family who is allergic. Wolf is an amazing very well socialized dog. He does great in the car, with people, and other animals. He is not aggressive at all. He is a happy and very excited dog. He requires a lot of exercise, about 2+ hours a day. He loves attention and people petting him. He genuinely is the best dog I have known so this rehoming decision is not easy. Keep in mind I will vet the adoption candidates thoroughly to make sure he goes to the right home. Ideal person is someone with land and other animals so that he can run around and play with other animals. Wolf is 2yr, trained, housebroken, unneutered (has had no problems). If you or someone you know is interested, please let me know ASAP.

Story

Meet Louie Born 5/14/25 | Expected to stay a small boy Louie is pure puppy joy wrapped in a tiny package. Super sweet and endlessly affectionate, this little guy is all about playtime, toys, and soaking up the world around him. He loves to chew on his toys, romp around outside, and never says no to a meal or a treat. Louie adores other dogs and does well with cats too—though in true puppy fashion, he may chase them in hopes of starting a game. He’s friendly, social, and eager to be part of the fun wherever he goes. At this stage, Louie is very much “puppy 5000”—full of energy, curiosity, and learning as he goes. He will thrive in a home ready to provide patience, structure, continued training, and lots of playtime to help him grow into the amazing little dog he’s meant to be. If you’re looking for a small, happy, toy-loving pup who will keep you smiling and on your toes, Louie may be your perfect match. ##2622256##

Story

Meet Sweetz! A devoted almost eleven-year-old German Shepherd currently in Wilmington, DE, whose heart is as big as her 85-pound frame, and just as ready to curl up in your lap for a good cuddle and a face rub. Sweetz is the very definition of a loyal companion. She’s goofy, affectionate, and absolutely thrives in a peaceful, predictable environment where she can soak up all the love. With her classic black and tan coat and soulful eyes, she’s just as content lounging in a sunny patch of yard as she is following her favorite human from room to room like a fluffy, four-legged shadow! She’s deeply bonded to her people and especially protective of the ones she loves, particularly the family's twelve-year-old child, whom she proudly watched over like her own. Sweetz has a few important needs that help her feel safe and happy. She must be the only pet in her new home, as she’s shown reactivity toward other animals, especially in environments where attention is shared. Sweetz became aggressive with another dog she lived with in the past and there was a bite incident. While she can walk calmly past other dogs in public and even greet familiar neighbors through fences, Sweetz truly flourishes in a calm, pet-free space where she can be the solo star of the show. She’s also best suited to an adult-only home with caregivers who understand large breeds and value the joys of a calm, consistent routine. This sweet girl knows her basic commands (sit, stay, fetch, and easy) and she handles being left alone like a pro. She’s house-trained, microchipped, spayed, and up to date on all her vaccinations. While vet visits require a muzzle due to some anxiety, Sweetz generally thrives with routine, gentle care, and a quiet space to call her own. Whether she’s playing a laid-back game of fetch, basking in the sun, or leaning in for a good face rub, Sweetz is always ready to remind you that love comes in the form of a big heart, four paws, and a soft nudge for more pets! Reach out to adopt@joyfulpets.com to learn more about this sweet, silly girl and the happiness she’s waiting to share! Content Notice: This pet is represented by Joyful Pets.

LUMI

German Shepherd Dog

Female, 2 yrs

Methuen, MA

Size

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

Details

Story

When you see Lumi, you will think she is beautiful, regal, stunning. And she is! She is also a dog who has been through a number of recent transitions and can be worried. Lumi was found as a stray so there is no back history on her. What we do know is that she is smart and sweet. She is house trained and crate trained. This good girl loves her sniffy walks or playing with toys in the yard. She is hoping for an adopter who will give her time to decompress and settle in. Lumi will do best with a family that can interpret her body language and help her out as needed. Pretty Lumi could possibly live with another dog or cat, starting with complete separation. And children old enough to practice petting consent might also work. Once she has warmed up to you, Lumi will show you her silly side. Do you think she sounds like the dog for you?
