Story
Meet Fynn! A spirited adult Australian Cattle Dog from Philadelphia, PA, whose essence is a vibrant burst of joy wrapped in a luxuriously red-mottled coat. Fynn's captivating smile and his playful, high-energy demeanor are sure to brighten anyone's day! Despite the bustling city life, Fynn has made significant progress in adapting, but he's now looking for a forever home that can offer the tranquility and space he truly needs to thrive. Fynn is a medium-sized, 50 pound fellow making him just the right size for a good cuddle session on the couch! He's a constant companion who loves engaging in training, play, and snuggling. Fynn has a particular fondness for toys with squeakers, playing fetch, chase games with a flirt-pole, and going on adventurous hikes. He is well-trained and knows a plethora of commands including sit, down, stay, touch, look at me, and go to your place, showcasing his eagerness to please and intelligence! Fynn's life in the city has been challenging due to his substantial anxiety, especially around body handling and strangers in the home. Despite this, with the help of a dedicated professional care team, he has made great strides in acclimating to his environment. However, the noise and crowds still trigger his anxiety, making a quieter, more spacious suburban or rural setting ideal for him. When left alone for short periods, Fynn is perfectly content, exhibiting no issues. He's house-trained, neutered, microchipped, and up to date on all vaccinations. Currently, Fynn is on a regimen of Gabapentin and Fluoxetine (Prozac) to manage his anxiety, but this might not be necessary in a calmer environment where he can feel more at ease. Fynn's endearing qualities are boundless! His goofy smile and affectionate nature are truly heartwarming, and he has a playful spirit that makes every day an adventure. He's good with cats and would thrive in a home with a fenced yard where he can run freely and enjoy the quietude he craves! Are you the family that can offer Fynn the serene and spacious home he needs? If you have a loving environment with plenty of land and a desire to engage with this lovable pup daily, Fynn might just be your perfect match. Let’s make Fynn’s dream of a peaceful, quiet home come true! Contact us at adopt@joyfulpets.com to start this beautiful journey with Fynn!

Story
This is Lloyd! He and his brother had been stuck at an understaffed shelter for months waiting for help. We couldn't let these sweet puppies stay there any longer! We think they are red heeler (Australian cattle dog) mixes that were born in January 2024. Lloyd is very respectful of other dogs and doesn't get in their faces. He is good at taking a hint and doing his own thing if the dogs around him don't want to play. He would love to have a doggie sibling to wrestle with, and/or an active family/person that is willing to take him on hikes, walks, or other adventures. Since we do think that he has some cattle dog in him, he is pretty high energy, and he will herd things (including people) when he is excited. His current foster is working on training him to redirect his herding instincts to toys instead of ankles, but whomever adopts him will need to continue to work on this with him! For this reason, we do think he would do best in a home without small children, or at least a home with dog savvy parents/kids. He sleeps through the night in his crate and does well when his foster family needs to crate him at times during the day. Lloyd hasn't had any inside accidents in a few weeks, is excellent on leash, did well at the dog park, in public settings and just a playful, sweet pup.  Do you have a yard that Lloyd could call his?

Story
Sydney is a social dog who enjoys spending quality time with her people, but she's not the type of dog who's going to lay around on the couch all the time. She's a very active young girl, and with the right person and some positive reinforcement training she'll likely be a great candidate for some dog sports! While she hasn't shown much interest in toys during her time here, she does like to run-- and she already knows `sit` and `paw`.OTHER PETS: Sydney hasn't shown much interest in other dogs during her stay at TJO, but she is calm and relaxed around them, so it's possible she could get along with another dog who knows when to let her have her own space. [Case-By-Case (Must Meet First)] NO CATSOWNER EXPERIENCE:Sydney is a fairly happy and easy-going dog, but it's important for her to get exercise and mental enrichment daily! With this in mind, she could possibly be a good first dog for someone who lives an active lifestyle. [First Dog]KIDS: Sydney is uncomfortable with some types of handling, and so would do best with kids who are old enough to understand and respect her boundaries. [12+ (Must Meet First)]ACTiVITY LEVEL:Sydney is a dog who likes to be active! She's got a lot of energy and likes to run, and with continued positive training she would likely be a good hiking companion as well. And while daily walks will be important for her, she's also the kind of dog who will need various forms of mental enrichment and games -- to make sure both her body and brain are tired out at the end of the day. [Good Walking Buddy / Olympic Athlete]VETERINARY CARE: [Routine]LEVEL OF TRAINING NEEDED:Sydney is a fairly social dog with people, but she's still young and has only just begun her positive training journey, so she would do best learning with someone who can offer patience and confidence while she adjusts. Positive reinforcement training will help Sydney to not only learn her basic cues, but also provide a good opportunity for her to bond with her new owner. With further training, she could also be a candidate for other activities like flyball, agility, hiking, lure coursing, weight pulling or dock diving! [Moderate]GROOMING:While Sydney does have a short coat, routine brushing will help to decrease shedding within the house. [Minimal / Routine Brushing]August 18, 2024, 2:23 pm

Story
Meet Anari, a delightful Australian Cattle Dog in search of a loving forever home. At 6 years old, Anari has already experienced some of life's challenges, but with the right environment and patient care, he has the potential to be a devoted companion. Anari gets along well with other dogs, making him an excellent choice for families or individuals who already have furry friends at home. He understands the dynamics of canine socialization and is likely to thrive in a household where he can engage in play and companionship with other dogs. Due to his past experiences, Anari tends to be a bit shy and cautious when encountering new people or situations. It is important to provide him with a calm and secure environment, allowing him the time and space to adjust at his own pace. With patience and understanding, you will witness his true personality shine as he gradually comes out of his shell. When initially meeting new people, Anari may exhibit protective behavior by barking, almost like a guard dog. This is his way of expressing caution and fear, which can be mitigated through positive reinforcement and gentle handling. As he gains trust and becomes more familiar with his surroundings, his guard barking is likely to subside. Once Anari feels comfortable and secure, he settles into his new environment and demonstrates his true nature. His shyness transforms into a loyal and affectionate demeanor, creating a special bond between him and his adopter. The more he is handled and shown patience, the more he will flourish and become an integral part of the family. Anari would benefit from a calm and structured household, where his need for routine and stability can be met. Engaging him in regular exercise and mental stimulation, such as puzzle toys or obedience training, will not only keep him physically fit but also provide a sense of purpose and accomplishment. If you are an experienced dog owner who understands the needs of a shy and sensitive dog, Anari could be the perfect addition to your family. His journey to overcome his fears and blossom into a confident companion will be a rewarding experience for both of you. Open your heart and home to Anari, and you will witness the transformation of a timid dog into a loyal and loving lifelong friend. Link to apply: http://www.kcpetrescue.org/adoption-services.html
