My personality

My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Dodger!

Dodger is a spirited two-and-a-half-year-old Hound mix from Dallas, GA, who lives for adventure, play, and a touch of charm. Wrapped in a striking tricolor coat, this medium-sized guy weighs about 42 pounds and is ready to bring his zest for life to a new home! Dodger’s boundless energy is infectious. Whether he’s running full-speed at the dog park or heading out for a scenic hike, he gives everything his all. He especially loves having a canine buddy by his side to chase and play with in wide open spaces.

If you love nature as much as Dodger does, you’ll find his “hound point” irresistible. When he spots a butterfly, lizard, or squirrel, he’ll lift his nose and front paw in a perfect salute to nature’s little critters. This natural instinct never fails to entertain his humans, and he’s always ready to explore new places or follow a scent trail on his next adventure.

At home, Dodger is just as delightful. He’s crate-trained and content to settle into his own space at night, sleeping soundly until morning. While he’s well-versed in commands like “sit,” “wait,” and “paw,” Dodger has a bit of a stubborn streak and thrives under the guidance of a confident handler who uses positive reinforcement. Though he’s usually friendly with kids, his high energy may be too much for very young children, so Dodger would do best in a home with older kids or an active family.

Dodger is wonderfully friendly with other dogs and would be thrilled to have a playmate. While he hasn’t had much interaction with cats, he’d love a big yard to explore, chase butterflies, and enjoy the outdoors. And when the day winds down, Dodger’s softer side shines through. He loves snuggling close, especially if it means his humans will give his velvety ears a scratch!

If you’re looking for a high-energy, affectionate companion who’ll keep you entertained and get you outside, Dodger might be your perfect match. Ready to meet him? Contact us at adopt@joyfulpets.com to welcome this lovable, adventurous boy into your life!

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

Our ultimate goal is to unite as many animals with loving pet parents as possible, so we strive to make it easy to adopt a dog or cat you have fallen in love with. All we ask is that you fill out an adoption application so that we have all the information we need to determine that you'll be able to provide a safe and compassionate home to one of our rescued pets. Once approved, all you need to do is sign our adoption agreement form and provide an adoption donation so that we can continue to save more animals every day and unite them with families just like yours.
