Joyful's Story
Please contact Melissa A Aten ([email protected]) for more information about this pet.fuzzball ISO family! JOYFUL NEEDS A FOSTER OR FOREVER HOME!!!! Name: Joyful Best Guess for Breed: Shepherd mix Best Guess for Age: 2 months as of 11/29/23 SEX: Female Estimated Weight (puppies' weights change quickly!): 11 lbs as of 11/23/23 Gets Along With: Most puppies are in the prime of their socialization window and will do well with other dogs, cats and kids so long as they receive patience and proper training. Currently Living at: South Carolina shelter; needs a foster or forever home in the DC area to get up here! Special Adoption Considerations: Puppies under 6 months of age need to have multiple potty breaks/exercise throughout the day. Potential adopters with a standard 8-hour workday must be willing to make arrangements to meet the needs of their puppy. Joyful is Looking For: Woof! My sister Jolly and my brother Jingle and I are all just super adorable fuzzy baby puppies right now and IMO we're also a lot more fun than any old sleigh ride in the snow! We've loved growing up together but now it's time for us to part ways and spread the joy. We've talked it over and this is what I want in a home: Lots of play time! Lots of snuggles! And more play time and snuggles. And then soon, I want to go exploring with you. The neighborhood, the local parks, the world - yes, please! And I want to go to puppy school too, to learn to be the goodest pup so I can go to all those fun places with you. What do you say? Do I get to grow up with you? What My Foster Says About Me: We will update this once this pup has arrived in the DC area and spent some time in foster care! Puppy Vetting Requirements: Lucky Puppies have had their age appropriate vaccines, but may not yet be "fully" vaccinated. It is the adopter's responsibility to ensure that the remaining puppy vaccines are given at the appropriate time. Please also keep in mind that, until your puppy is fully vaccinated, they are at greater risk for illness than an adult dog. Due to this puppy's young age, she/he has not yet been spayed or neutered. As part of the adoption contract, it will be your responsibility, as the adopter, to ensure that this is done no later than March 29, 2024. There are NO EXCEPTIONS and NO EXTENSIONS to this date. A non-refundable spay/neuter deposit will be collected if you would like Lucky Dog to pay for this animal to be spayed/neutered at one of our low cost partner vets. Your new puppy will need to work on their house training and will also need to go to obedience school so they can grow into a well-socialized dog! TO ADOPT: The adoption fee for this puppy is $485, which includes the cost of routine vetting and transport from the shelter. If you are interested in adopting, please complete the Adoption Questionnaire online bit.ly/adoptaluckydog Lucky Dog Animal Rescue does our best to provide accurate information about the dogs we have for adoption. That said, we cannot make any guarantees about age, breed or temperament. Thank you for contacting Lucky Dog Animal Rescue and helping to save a life!
