Story
Meet Emma! A charming eleven-year-old Basenji/American Pitbull Terrier mix from Broomall, PA, whose golden coat with white accents is as warm and inviting as her personality. This lovely senior lady is a bundle of joy who thrives on human connection and delights in spending time with her favorite people. Whether it’s a leisurely walk around the neighborhood or an adventurous trip to the dog park, Emma is always ready to get outside and enjoy the world around her! Emma has a playful spirit and a particular fondness for chew toys, which keep her happily occupied when she's not out exploring. She's well-trained and knows commands like "sit," "lay down," and "come," making her a well-behaved and obedient companion. Her friendly demeanor extends to other dogs, and she generally gets along well with her canine peers. Emma is also great with young children, but she’s a little more reserved around babies, so she would thrive best in a home without infants. At a medium size and weighing around forty-five pounds, Emma is the perfect fit for a family who enjoys an active lifestyle but also appreciates the value of a good cuddle session! She’s independent yet affectionate, loving yet composed, making her the ideal companion for a family who understands the balance between giving her space and showering her with love. Emma is house-trained, spayed, microchipped, and up to date on her vaccinations. While she has a form of lupus, she currently doesn’t require any medication and is doing wonderfully! She’s a sturdy girl who just needs a caring and affectionate family that will give her the attention she craves. Her favorite routine is pretty straightforward—she needs to go out three to four times a day and enjoys her meals at regular intervals. She’s totally fine being left alone for short periods, making her a low-maintenance addition to the right home. Could you be the forever home Emma needs? If you’re ready to welcome this sweet and spirited dog into your heart and home, Emma can’t wait to meet you! Great news for potential adopters, Emma’s adoption fee has been sponsored by the family! Are you ready for the endless joy and companionship she brings? Contact us at adopt@joyfulpets.com today!

Story
MY ADOPTION FEE WILL BE WAIVED DURING THE BIG DOG ENERGY ADOPTION EVENT FROM APRIL 21 - 27 !!! *Currently in a foster home* Scooby is a handsome boy who is looking for a home of his own! Scooby loves to go for walks and play, but he came to us with heart worm so he will need to be on activity restriction while he receives treatment, so it will be important for his new family to keep his brain busier than his body for now. His new family will be able to bring Scooby back to an MSPCA location for his heart worm treatment.Scooby is doing well in his foster home and has been very snuggly and silly. He would prefer to be the only dog in the home, but that doesn`t mean he can`t have dog friends in the future! If you think this dog could be a good match for your home and would like to learn more, stop by our Boston Adoption Center. We have open adoption hours Tuesday-Sunday from 12pm-3pm no appointment needed to speak to a staff person regarding available dogs. Preparing your home for your new dog or puppy ahead of time can help ease the transition for your new pet and set you both up for success should there be a dog thats a good match! To learn more about how to make the first few weeks with your new dog or puppy the most successful it can be, please visit www.mspca.org/petresources. For more information on our adoption process, please visit https://www.mspca.org/adoption-centers/how-to-adopt/ Please note, in an effort to keep the stress levels reduced for the dogs in our care, our dog kennel areas will not be open to walk through. Interested adopters will work with a matchmaker on staff to determine which dog(s) theyre interested in - and if we can identify a match, potential adopters will be able to meet those dogs outside of the kennel. Cat and small animal areas will remain open to walk through.

Meet Pedro!! Pedro came into the shelter in Tennessee. He was a stray who nobody ever came back to claim. This poor guy started to wonder if he would ever get out of the shelter. Fetching Hearts Rescue found out about him and said he needed to come to us, so he could find a forever home!! Pedro is an active boy who loves his humans and doggie friends.

Story
Hello there, I'm Furgus, your potential partner in crime! I have a knack for exploration and once, I mistook the neighbor's vegetable garden for a treasure trove. Oh, the ruckus! I ended up at the shelter after that, but it was a hilarious journey. I'm a pro at finding hidden goodies, be it under the sofa or in the park. My curiosity is my charm, and I promise to keep you entertained with my antics. If you're looking for a fun-loving, adventurous companion, look no further. Adopt me and let's start our adventure together!
