Kalle

American Staffordshire Terrier Boxer

Female, 12 yrs 7 mos
Amherst, MA
Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
Details
Not good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Meet Kalle! A thoughtful twelve-and-a-half-year-old mixed-breed beauty currently living Doylestown, PA, whose striking white and black coat is just as unique as her personality. With her gentle eyes and cautious heart, Kalle may take her time getting to know new people, but once she’s decided you’re part of her circle, she becomes a fiercely loyal shadow and cuddle companion. At around 70 pounds, Kalle is a large lady with a medium energy level, happy to relax next to you while you read or snooze, but also up for a round of play with her favorite stuffed toys (which she proudly demolishes with gusto). She’s crate trained, house-trained, and knows a few fun commands like “sit,” “paw,” and “high five.” A fenced yard is a must for this girl, especially since she’s shown some herding instincts and can be a bit protective in unfamiliar settings. While she has nipped at heels and once bit a neighbor who taunted her, Kalle is very responsive to patient guidance and positive reinforcement once she feels secure. Kalle is spayed, microchipped, and up to date on her vaccinations but she is developing cataracts. Thunderstorms make her nervous, but otherwise, she handles short absences like a pro usually just curling up for a nap. She’s not a fan of cats and can be shy around other dogs, so slow introductions are key. Her favorite spot to sleep? At the foot of the bed, right near her person! Kalle has shared her days with her dear companion Maya, and the two have a sweet, quiet bond that brings them both comfort. While Kalle can absolutely thrive on her own with the right loving family, she would be overjoyed to find a new home where Maya can join her too. Could your home be the peaceful haven this gentle soul needs? Reach out to adopt@joyfulpets.com to learn more about Kalle and the cozy companionship she’s ready to bring your way!

Opie

American Staffordshire Terrier American Pit Bull Terrier

Male, 6 yrs 1 mo
Amherst, MA
Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
Details
Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Meet Opie! A spirited six-year-old American Staffordshire Terrier mix currently living in West Haven, CT, whose heart is as big as his 67-pound fawn brindle frame, complete with an adorable white patch on his chest. Opie is the kind of dog who knows how to balance adventure with affection—whether he’s conquering hiking trails, riding shotgun on car trips, or snuggling up on the couch with his favorite blanket. Opie is a brainy, athletic guy with a solid foundation of professional training under his belt. He’s house-trained, off-leash ready, and fluent in an impressive list of commands like sit, stay, down, come, place, and even "give hug"—yes, he’ll literally jump into your arms for a cuddle! He’s eager to learn, deeply loyal, and thrives with structure and companionship. While he does have a sensitive stomach, he’s otherwise in excellent health, fully vaccinated, neutered, and microchipped. Opie’s perfect day includes a game of tug-of-war, basking in the sunshine, or curling up for a nap with his beloved blanket. But he’s just as happy lounging at your feet while you work. He’s a flexible, go-with-the-flow kind of guy, but he really shines when he gets regular exercise and mental stimulation. Now, Opie’s story does come with a chapter that needs thoughtful understanding. He has a bite history rooted in fear and anxiety, particularly when his trusted person isn’t around. It’s been over a year since his last incident, and when he’s with someone confident and calm, Opie looks to them for reassurance and settles quickly. Because of this, Opie needs an experienced, dog-savvy caregiver who can offer both structure and comfort. Opie’s previous trainer is available to provide support to his future adopter, including guidance on his current training, handling techniques, and ongoing care. Opie prefers to be the star of the show in a home without other pets or with a very neutral canine companion. He hasn’t been around children or cats, so a quiet, adult household would suit him best. Are you the confident, loving companion Opie needs to continue his journey? If you think you’re the perfect match for this affectionate, loyal adventurer, reach out to adopt@joyfulpets.com—we can’t wait to hear from you!

Story
Meet Jasmine! A wise and wonderful American Staffordshire Terrier/German Shepherd mix, estimated to be between six-and-a-half and seven-and-a-half years old, currently living in Bethesda, MD, whose golden coat glows as warmly as her loyal heart. With a personality as rich as her heritage, Jasmine is a bright, affectionate girl who thrives in a world of structure, calm, and confident guidance. One of Jasmine’s most lovable traits is how deeply affectionate she becomes once she trusts you. She’s a devoted cuddlebug who adores belly rubs, sunbathing, and curling up beside you after a long walk. Her days run best on a reliable rhythm. She prefers two meals a day, regular walks, and lots of loving connection with her trusted human. Jasmine is currently with a professional trainer and has made tremendous progress! She's off all anxiety medication and is thriving in a consistent, supportive routine. She now enjoys relaxed pack walks with up to thirteen other dogs and impresses with her obedience. She knows commands like sit, down, stay, wait, come, heel, touch, and place. With her intelligence and love of learning, she responds especially well to positive reinforcement and firm, kind leadership. Because of her history, Jasmine is looking for a new guardian who has experience with anxious dogs and understands the importance of clear boundaries. Her ideal family will be confident, calm, and able to offer a structured environment where she feels safe and understood. While she’s dog-selective and not compatible with cats, she’s coexisted peacefully with another dog who matches her energy and confidence. Jasmine’s past includes a couple of bite incidents that were rooted in protective instincts and anxiety, but under her trainer’s care, she’s shown just how far she’s come. She no longer exhibits concerning behaviors and is ready to continue growing with someone who "gets" her, a guardian who leads with strength and love, and helps her feel secure. Medically, Jasmine is spayed, microchipped, up to date on vaccines, and house-trained. She also has a heart murmur that was evaluated by a veterinary cardiologist and determined not to need treatment. She’s otherwise in good health and ready for her next adventure! Reach out to adopt@joyfulpets.com and discover the devoted, sun-loving snugglebug waiting to be part of your life’s next chapter!

After bravely battling through heartworm treatment, this resilient girl has come out the other side healthy, happy, and more lovable than ever. Nugget’s spirit is unbreakable. Despite the long shelter stay, she’s stayed cheerful, cuddly, and ready to shower everyone she meets with affection. Her gentle nature makes her the go-to “dog tester” at the shelter—she helps welcome new pups and sets the bar for dog-friendly behavior. In rescue lingo, she’s what we lovingly call bomb-proof. When she’s not winning hearts with her friendly charm, she’s playing tag, chasing toys, or curling up in your lap for a cuddle session. Belly rubs? Yes please—she’ll melt into you like butter on a warm biscuit. Nugget dreams of a home with a fenced yard where she can zoom, sniff, and explore to her heart’s content. She’s the perfect mix of playful and affectionate, and she’s finally ready for the chapter she truly deserves: life with her forever family.

Story
You would never know this happy girl came from a home of neglect and cruelty. When she was rescued, she was emaciated and covered in her own urine. She was used to a life in a cage and was used for breeding. Everything is a new experience to Vada, so she needs a family who will be excited for adventures but understands she will need to be led. She is not an alpha dog and absolutely needs a human to lead and help her understand her surroundings. She is crate trained and house trained. She is extremely food motivated and easy to train. She sits politely, and has been working on new tricks with her foster mom. She loves toys and to roll in the grass. She is doing well meeting new dogs but would need to do a meet and greet with her future siblings. She’s learning leash manners quickly. She was excellent at the vet and with bathing. She loves car rides too! Help us give this sweet girl her chance at true freedom and love because she has all the love to give.
