Story
Hi! My name is Annie. Not too long ago, I was running around the streets of Beverly Hills, hungry, scared, and very lost. I didn’t know where my human was or how to find my way home. Then one day, a very kind woman called out to me. Her voice was gentle, and I was frightened and alone… so I ran right to her. Best decision ever! Now I’m being fostered in a loving home where I get fed twice a day (yum!), have a fun canine playmate, and am even learning some training I never had before. I really enjoy walks, playing with my doggy friend, and relaxing knowing I’m safe and cared for. I’m a happy girl who loves humans and gets along great with other dogs. I love the dog park! I’m not much of a barker — honestly, I don’t bark at all. I might whine a little if I want something, and I do an occasional happy howl when I see food coming my way (can you blame me?). I dream of a forever home where I can get lots of love and attention and maybe another canine playmate. I adore hugs, long walks, learning tricks for treats, tummy rubs, playtime, and being close to my people — basically, I just really love love. If you’re looking for a loyal, sweet, joyful companion… I’m your girl. Love,Annie [Annie was born in April 2025 and weighs 60 lbs.] If you'd like to meet Annie, please contact Betty: (818) 489-0532 or bkmakeup@yahoo.com Note: This is a courtesy posting for our fellow rescuer, which means that even though this animal does not belong to our group, we are here to help those who need to find a home for their animals.

Story
Atlas is a sensitive, intelligent husky mix who forms deep bonds once trust is established. He thrives in a calm, predictable home and is emotionally intuitive—very in tune with his person. He’s had some anxiety in the past and can show resource guarding when unsure, so Atlas needs a patient, experienced dog owner who values consistency, gentle guidance, and trust-based training. He does best with clear communication and reassurance, not harsh methods. With the right match, Atlas is an incredibly devoted companion who will reward your patience with loyalty and love 🤍

Story
Meet Hatchi! A soulful young adult Akita/Siberian Husky mix currently in Roseville, CA, whose essence is a whirlwind of energy wrapped in a majestic tricolor coat and anchored by a loyal, tender heart. Hatchi is a 90-pound oversized teddy bear who’s still adjusting to life with only one working eye, the result of stabilized glaucoma. Though he may see shadows, sudden movements can startle him, especially during walks. Because of this, he thrives with a confident, experienced caregiver who can help him feel grounded and secure. Hatchi is strong on leash and reactive to dogs, cats, bikes, and cars that pass by, so he needs someone who’s comfortable working with large breeds and understands the power of positive reinforcement and patient training. Despite his reactivity, Hatchi is a sweet, snuggly companion at heart. He melts into affection and is eager to please, especially when treats are involved! This intelligent boy responds to his name, is crate trained, house-trained, and has lived harmoniously with young children aged 7 and 8. He may do well with a calm, female dog companion but would not be compatible with cats. Daily life with Hatchi includes administering eye drops, which he’ll need for the rest of his life. Thankfully, his love of treats makes this task pretty manageable. A fenced yard is essential, not because he’s tried to escape, but because his Husky instincts and natural curiosity make outdoor safety a must. Hatchi is vaccinated, neutered, and microchipped, and he’s ready to embark on a new chapter filled with love, structure, and confidence-building. His sensitive nature means he looks to his human for reassurance, and with the right support, he has the potential to blossom into a truly remarkable companion! Whether you’re curled up on the couch or working on training together in the yard, Hatchi will be right by your side, ready to soak up your affection and offer his loyalty in return. Could you be the guiding heart Hatchi needs to help him thrive? If you’re interested in providing Hatchi with a loving home, please email meetme@joyfulpets.com for more information about adopting him. Please note that Hatchi is currently in foster care through one of our trusted rescue partners and will remain with his foster family until the right match is found. Because rescue-partner pets are managed directly by their respective organizations, their adoption process, requirements, and fees may differ from Joyful Pets’ direct rehoming program. Our team will be happy to connect you with the rescue and help guide you through their process to ensure everything goes smoothly.
