Story
Bear is 6 years old. We have had him since he was 8 weeks old. He has been raised with love in our home, with my wife and two boys who are now 10 and 8. He is good with our boys, but we unexpectadly had a baby last year that is now crawling and will soon be walking. As Bear has gotten older, he does not like to have his feet touched or being grabbed unexpectadly, things like that. He has never bitten anyone, but with the baby becoming mobile and grabbing at everything he can, we just cant take a chance. Bear is really big and strong, and does need at least a good daily walk or two. He loves people and has always come to work with me everyday. He gets along with other dogs, but can be reactionary on his leash when he sees other dogs on walks. This is an agonizing decision for us, it's really important to us that he goes to someone who understands the breed, ideally has good yard/ outdoor space and that he is welcomed into a home that will treat him with love.

Story
Rylie is a 3 year old female and about 60 lbs.Crate trained when unsupervised.She loves people and has been around children her whole life. Due to her size and energy level, a home without small kids would be best. She is not good with cats. She has never hurt one, but she does chase them relentlessly. She would do well with another dog given the appropriate introductions. She is not aggressive, but does get fearful and anxious with new dogs until she gets comfortable with them. She knows basic commands and loves cuddling on the couch just as much as hiking and swimming. We are not looking for a fee, just an amazing home with a patient person willing to help her adjust.

Story
As of April 12th, Cannoli has partnered with Bullied Breeds Rescue.Cannoli is a 65lb "work-in-progress" powerhouse wildcard. After 2 months of structure, she’s a sweet, eager girl who just needs help finding her focus.​The Reality: Our trainer describes her as a "total spazz" with lots of potential. Her heart is gold, but her brain moves at 100mph. She struggles to focus long enough to "get it," but she shows improvement every day!​Food Fixated: A world-class counter-surfer. She will try to take food from your hands or mouth! She requires crating during human mealtimes.​Leash Monster: She doesn’t just pull; she propels. She needs a strong handler who will continue working on leash manners.Best in a cat-free home: Friendly but lacks an "off" switch.​Ideal Match: Fully housebroken but needs a routine. She needs an experienced large-breed owner who can handle a "maximum volume" personality. If you can handle the chaos, she’ll be your most loyal companion

Story
Meet Misty! A spirited almost four-year-old Rottweiler/Labrador Retriever/Catahoula Leopard Dog mix currently living in Blackwood, NJ, whose essence is a golden burst of affection wrapped in a 90-pound frame of playful energy and heart-melting cuddles. Misty is the kind of dog who makes herself known, not just by her stunning golden brown coat with white accents, but with the way she leans in close to rest her head on your chest, or showers you with kisses when you’ve had a long day. She’s a sweet-natured, medium-energy girl who absolutely adores people, especially kids, and thrives in environments filled with love, consistency, and room to stretch her long legs. Her favorite toy? A squeaky octopus that brings out her goofy, playful side every time! This affectionate girl is crate trained, house-trained, spayed, microchipped, and up-to-date on her vaccinations. She knows commands like “come,” “sit,” “lay,” and “stay”, though like any independent soul, she occasionally needs a reminder to follow through. She’s done well with short periods alone, especially when left with a chew bone (though she’s been known to redecorate with shredded paper if boredom strikes!). Misty has done great at doggie daycare, where structured settings and supervised play make her feel at ease. However, Misty must be the only animal in her home. She has severe resource guarding issues, particularly around food, and has had altercations with other dogs in the home. While she’s friendly with dogs in controlled environments, she cannot share living space or food areas with other animals. Misty shines with positive reinforcement and gentle, firm guidance. She responds beautifully to a calm but confident voice, especially when her excitement bubbles over into enthusiastic greetings (yes, she's a jumper, because she just can't wait to say hello!). Misty is ready for a home with a spacious fenced yard and a patient, loving caregiver who understands her quirks and sees the loyal, affectionate companion beneath. Ready to make room on your couch, and in your heart, for Misty? To learn more about welcoming Misty into your family, reach out to adopt@joyfulpets.com!
