Meet Judo! A spirited six-year-old mixed breed from Bend, OR, whose heart is as big as his love for adventure. With his striking white coat sprinkled with black patches and a galaxy of tiny spots, Judo is as unique in appearance as he is in personality. Whether he's sprinting through the trails, keeping pace on a long run, or stretching out for a lazy day indoors, this adaptable boy is happiest when he’s with his favorite people! Judo is a true athlete—he can easily run 10+ miles or tackle a rugged hike, yet he’s just as content lounging around the house. His energy is balanced by his affectionate side, and his idea of a perfect evening involves snuggling up with his favorite humans. He has excellent house manners, is fully house-trained, and even free-feeds, maintaining a healthy weight of 51 pounds. He sleeps soundly through the night (sometimes up to 14 hours!) and greets his people with the most enthusiastic tail wag imaginable! Judo thrives in an adult-only home where he can feel secure and at ease. After a stressful experience, he has become anxious around children and is looking for a home without young ones. His sensitivity heightened after he was attacked by another dog, which led to increased wariness in certain situations. He nipped a toddler when the child became more mobile, signaling that he was uncomfortable with unpredictable movements. Additionally, he has bitten two dogs near his home when he felt threatened, though he does well with other dogs in open spaces and enjoys a good romp. With the right introduction and a calm environment, he may enjoy the companionship of another dog. He’s a sensitive soul who bonds deeply with his people, and while he’s independent in some ways, he appreciates understanding and patience when it comes to things like nail trims and long car rides. He loves playing in the rain and snow, but isn’t a fan of going out in it when it’s time for him to go. His ideal guardian is active, experienced with dogs who have some anxiety, and willing to provide him with both exercise and a calm, structured environment. To make sure that Judo has a great start with his new family, we have a canine behaviorist available for a free consultation. Judo has been a cherished companion for six years, and now he’s looking for a new loving home where he can continue to thrive. Could you be the one to give him that? If so, reach out to adopt@joyfulpets.com to learn more about this incredible dog!

Meet Heineken! A lively seven-and-a-half-year-old Pointer mix from Three Rivers, OR, whose zest for life is as strong as his love for a good trail run and a sunny nap. With his mostly white coat and athletic 65-pound frame, he’s a striking sight on the trail—and a loyal companion through every season of adventure and rest! Heineken is a trail-blazing athlete at heart. Long-distance runs? No problem! Lake fetch? Count him in! He’s the kind of dog who thrives on outdoor activity and brings unfiltered joy to every hike, run, and splash session. But he’s not all go-go-go—this guy knows how to chill. After a good workout, he’ll happily stretch out in a sunny patch of grass or curl up fireside, satisfied and calm. Trained in all the basics—sit, stay, come, leave it, lay down, “kennel up”—Heineken is incredibly responsive to clear direction and structure. He’s crate trained, house-trained, and comfortable being left alone for stretches of the day. But like many sensitive souls, he has his quirks. Heineken does best in a calm, predictable environment and has shown that the hustle and bustle of young children isn’t his scene. He becomes anxious around infants and toddlers, especially when there’s crying or sudden movement. In one instance, he snapped at a baby during a stressful moment—he didn’t cause harm, but it was enough to show that a kid-free home or one with older, dog-savvy children (age 10+) would suit him far better. He’s also selective with other dogs, especially off-leash. While he can be friendly and playful with the right match—typically females or mellow males—he can become territorial or threatened around unfamiliar dogs, and he tends to react strongly to huskies in particular. Positive introductions and controlled environments are key to his success. Loud vehicles like motorcycles can startle him, and he may bark or lunge out of nervous energy. He’s on a low dose of vet-prescribed Fluoxetine, which has helped ease some of that reactivity, alongside the natural maturity that comes with age. Heineken is looking for a home that embraces his active lifestyle and respects his sensitivities. Could your home be his next great chapter? Reach out to adopt@joyfulpets.com and see if Heineken’s trail-ready heart belongs by your side!

Meet Oreo – a sweet and shy soul ready to bloom. Oreo is as sweet as her name suggests—soft, gentle, and quietly waiting for someone to love her just the way she is. With her soulful amber eyes and striking black-and-white coat, she’s not just beautiful on the outside, but radiates a quiet kindness from within. At just 2 years old, Oreo is still learning that the world can be a safe and loving place. She’s a bit shy when first meeting new people or entering new spaces, but with a little patience, she blossoms into a calm and affectionate companion. She’s friendly with her handlers, walks politely on a leash, and prefers peaceful moments over rough play. Oreo recently spent time with another dog and was respectful and curious—never overly playful, but quietly engaged. She’d thrive in a calm home, perhaps with another mellow dog, where she can continue to gain confidence at her own pace. If you’re someone who believes the best friendships are built on trust and time, Oreo may just be your perfect match. Come meet this gentle girl and let her show you how quietly wonderful love can be. Oreo is available to adopt in the Greater Los Angeles area.

Luna is 3 years of age, she is spayed.. She is a great dog. She was my mom’s dog , she passed away this past February. She was her loyal companion. She listens to all basic commands. We rescued her at 6 months in 2021 from a shelter. She has a great demeanor with people and other dogs. I cannot keep her as I have 2 huskies (energetic and territorial) and 2 cats of my own. She would do great in a home with another dog or alone as she was very spoiled with attention!

Jack is a 11mo, 39lb, Pointer mix who was rescued from a high kill shelter & is our longest resident here at ERF. He has been making so much progress & has been able to open up and play with other dogs. He’s a very sweet boy who needs a little time to warm up to people and would be best with a loving owner to give him time to thrive & gain trust. Jack has watched countless playmates find homes and really needs a special patient foster or adopter to give him a chance inside a home environment. He is vaccinated, neutered & microchipped!
