Story
#A5751957 Palmer is a 2-year-old male Rhodesian Ridgeback mix (possibly hound mix) with a handsome brown and black coat and a tall, athletic build. Found as a stray on January 25, 2026, alongside Mort A5751958 , Palmer weighs 84 lbs but is currently very thin for his breed and will need some healthy weight gain to feel his best. Palmer is shy in his kennel but appears to be a very sweet, gentle boy once given a little reassurance. The shelter environment is overwhelming for him, and he’s still finding his footing. He’s currently receiving medical treatment and will be adopted on a health waiver so his new family can continue his care. With patience, good nutrition, and a calm, loving home, Palmer has all the potential to grow into a confident and devoted companion. -2 years old, male, 84 lbs (underweight for breed) -Rhodesian Ridgeback mix / possible hound mix -Found as a stray on 01/25/2026 (came in with Mort A5751958) -Very shy in kennel but seems sweet and gentle -Thin and needs to gain weight -Currently receiving medication -Adoptable on a health and a $50 trust waiver -Would thrive in a patient, nurturing home     PALMER’S VIDEO: https://youtube.com/shorts/zVrW     For more information, contact volunteer Lor at  lor@unitedhopeforanimals.org     ------- United Hope for Animals (UHA) is a volunteer group and does not have a facility for animals.  This pet is part of our Shelter Support Program at the Baldwin Park Shelter.

Story
#A5751958 Mort is a 2-year-old male Rhodesian Ridgeback mix, possibly hound mix, with a brown and black coat, big floppy ears, and the sweetest, soulful face. Found as a stray on January 25, 2026, alongside Palmer A5751957 , Mort weighs 93 lbs but is very underweight for his breed and will need time, good nutrition, and care to reach a healthy weight.     Mort is a big boy with even bigger paws and a gentle presence. Though the shelter has been overwhelming, his soft expression and calm demeanor suggest a kind, affectionate dog underneath it all. He’ll need patience as he settles in and regains strength. Mort is adoptable on a $50 trust waiver so his new family can continue his care and help him fully recover. With stability and love, this gentle giant has all the makings of a loyal, devoted companion.     -2 years old, male, 93 lbs (underweight for breed) -Rhodesian Ridgeback mix / possible hound mix -Found as a stray on 01/25/2026 (came in with Palmer A5751957 ) -Big frame, big paws, big floppy ears -Very underweight; needs to gain healthy weight -Gentle, sweet-faced boy -Adoptable on a $50 trust waiver -Would thrive in a patient, nurturing home     MORT’S VIDEO: https://youtube.com/shorts/jDcTxjoio_g     For more information, contact volunteer Lor at  lor@unitedhopeforanimals.org     ------- United Hope for Animals (UHA) is a volunteer group and does not have a facility for animals.  This pet is part of our Shelter Support Program at the Baldwin Park Shelter.

Story
Meet Buddy! A spirited two-year-old Rhodesian Ridgeback/Carolina Dog mix currently living in Indio, CA, whose essence is a radiant blend of affection and golden sunshine wrapped in well-mannered joy. Buddy is the kind of companion who seems straight out of a feel-good movie—loyal, playful, and always ready to bring a smile to your face! With a naturally calm and friendly disposition, he’s the perfect balance of charm and discipline. He may not have had formal obedience training, but you’d never guess it with the way he proudly follows commands like "sit," "stay," "fetch," and even "go to your bed." His sharp mind and eagerness to please make him a dream for anyone looking for a well-mannered buddy—yes, pun intended! At about 65-70 pounds of affectionate energy, Buddy is large-sized with a heart that’s anything but. He gets along famously with children, other dogs, and even cats! While he could adapt to different home environments, Buddy would thrive in a home with kids and another friendly dog to play with. He’s the kind of dog who will greet strangers with a friendly wag and a sparkle in his eye, then gently curl up beside you for a cozy nap after a stroll around the neighborhood. This golden boy loves his walks (preferably when it’s not too hot) and can never resist a good game with his favorite toys—ropes and bouncy balls being at the top of the list. He handles alone time like a champ, but when you return, get ready for the happiest reunion dance you’ve ever seen! One of his cutest quirks? Buddy loves to watch TV—yes, really! Whether it's an animal show or a lively cartoon, he’ll sit by your side like the best binge-watching pal ever. Fully house-trained, neutered, vaccinated, and in great health, Buddy is all set to bring joy to a new loving home that has time, affection, and the stability to truly cherish him. He doesn’t ask for much—just love, companionship, and a comfy spot on the couch (preferably near the TV!). Ready to meet the sweet soul who might just be your new best friend? Contact adopt@joyfulpets.com to learn more about bringing Buddy home—could he be the golden thread your family’s been missing?
