Story

Meet Hannah, a sweet and affectionate girl who’s been part of our family for the past five years. She adores cuddling with our kids, basking in the sun, rolling on her back, and napping by my side while I work. However, Hannah now needs a new home where she can thrive. When we adopted her, she was a greeter dog at the South LA Shelter, known for being great with kids, dogs, and cats. She even earned an A+ at doggy daycare. Unfortunately, our family faced a life-altering event when our young son was diagnosed with cancer, forcing us to move in with my elderly parents. Hannah, being too much for them to handle, spent the next year and a half in foster care. She did best with an experienced dog trainer and two large dogs during this time. Since coming home in 2020, we've discovered that Hannah can be selective about other dogs and new people. She’s had successful playdates at her trainer’s facility but doesn’t get along with our other dog, leading to two fights in the past three years. She also gets anxious around unexpected visitors, occasionally nipping but never leaving a puncture. With proper introductions on a leash, she’s been sweet and friendly. We’ve tried everything—training, baby gates, and changing our routines—but it's clear Hannah needs a home with a pit-savvy owner who understands her behavior. Recently, she slipped out the door at a friend’s house and was injured in a scuffle with another dog. Her trainer believes she can succeed in the right environment and has generously offered to board her for a couple of weeks while we search for her forever home. Hannah is a loving dog who needs structure and a firm, experienced owner. We’ve poured years of effort into her because of her incredible heart, and now we’re asking for help in finding her a safe and loving home.

Story

Hi, I’m Honey! As my name suggests, I’m as sweet as can be, with a beautiful honey-colored coat. I’m a 4-year-old female Pitbull mix, up to date on vaccines, microchipped, and spayed. My foster mom has done a great job helping me get used to my kennel and potty training. I’m on the smaller side, weighing about 47 pounds, and currently eating Purina Pro Plan Sensitive Skin & Stomach to keep me feeling my best. I’m a happy, easygoing girl who loves to roam around the yard and occasionally get the zoomies when I’m feeling extra joyful! Indoors, I like to snuggle on the couch with my family. I’m not big on toys, but I enjoy chewing on plush bears and Nyla bones. I absolutely adore kids and people. I’m looking for a forever home where I can be the only pet, with a family that will be patient and continue working on my training. I’ve been through some tough times, so I need a little time to warm up. My ideal family will also take safety precautions and kennel me when I’m home alone to ensure I stay safe and out of trouble. If you’re looking for a sweet, loyal companion, I’d love to meet you!

Good with dogs,

Story

This beauty queen with perfect ears is looking for her forever home! Dubbed "the perfect pocket pittie," she was named Chilli after her favorite show, "Bluey." She is 50 lbs, approximately 3 years old, and is an energetic girl who just wants to be around her people whether it's on the couch or in the car en route to the beach. She is crate-trained, dog friendly and has been good with kids while her exposure has been minimal. Chilli's story is a mystery as she was found on the street in South LA post-partum, scared, and separated from her puppies who were never found. The couple who found her quickly learned that she had a heart condition that required an expensive fix, and knowing the strain currently on the shelter and rescue system would put a dog like her at immediate risk, chose to foster themselves with help from Ace of Hearts, Angel City Pitbulls, Stand Up for Pits and Free Animal Doctor. We are happy to report that her surgery and recovery went perfectly and she will live a long, happy and healthy life with her forever family. She is also spayed and up to date on her vaccinations. Chilli requires a patient home due to some understandable initial stranger danger. The couple has been taking Chilli to group training classes and working with a trainer 1:1 to build her confidence. It has been going incredibly well and they are happy to make introductions and help facilitate an easy transition. What You Should Know About Chilli: Housebroken and crate-trained, Chilli sleeps soundly through the night without a peep. She'll greet you with a happy dance each morning and patiently waits for her food. She’s an Olympic Gold Medalist in snuggling and is working hard to perfect her leash manners. While she can get a bit excited on walks, she’s easily redirected. Chilli’s food-motivated nature makes her a great helper in the kitchen, but she’s never too eager to swipe anything off the table. Though she may take a little time to warm up, once she does, Chilli is the most loving, floppy, and joyful companion you could ask for. She’s playful, curious, and communicates her needs well. She’s had limited exposure to kids but has done well with the few she’s met. If Chilli is your soul dog, she’ll be your loyal best friend, whether you’re cuddling on the couch, enjoying a day at the beach, or heading out for a road trip. She’ll thrive in a patient, loving home and will give you everything and more in return. In early July, Chilli underwent a successful balloon valvoplasty to repair her pulmonic stenosis, thanks to the generosity of over 150 donors. She’s now fully recovered and ready to live a long, healthy life with her forever family. Chilli is a truly special dog, and we hope you’ll fall in love with her just like we have.

Story

Meet Hugo! A striking six-year-old American Bully from Phoenix, AZ, whose muscular frame and captivating blue and fawn brindle coat make him impossible to miss. Beneath his powerful exterior lies a mellow, food-loving companion who’s ready to lounge around the house or yard but also enjoys a good walk when the opportunity arises. Hugo is a smart boy, knowing an impressive set of commands like “sit,” “lay down,” “stay,” “come,” “leave it,” and even “speak.” He’s leash-trained, making walks a pleasure for both you and him. However, Hugo's journey has come with a few challenges. He has experienced two biting incidents, both of which happened when his personal space was unexpectedly invaded. In one instance, a family member tried to grab his water bowl, startling him. The second time, a loud noise caused him to react when someone leaned over him on the couch. Both situations highlight the importance of respecting Hugo’s space and working with him to overcome his triggers. Hugo has been evaluated by a behaviorist who believes that with time, training, and consistency, he can be rehabilitated. His new family will need to be patient, experienced, and committed to helping him feel safe in his surroundings. Hugo thrives in a routine that provides structure and stability. He enjoys his meal first thing in the morning and is happy to go for a walk whenever you are. When not out and about, Hugo is content lounging around and keeping things low-key. His calm demeanor and laid-back attitude are some of his most endearing qualities. A fenced yard is a must for him, as he can be a bit too enthusiastic when he spots small animals to chase. Because Hugo doesn’t get along well with other dogs or cats, he would do best in a home where he’s the only pet. His new pet parent should have the time and desire to continue his training and help him overcome his past triggers, ensuring that Hugo can grow into a confident, well-adjusted companion. Could you be the one to give Hugo the love, structure, and guidance he needs? Reach out today at adopt@joyfulpets.com to meet him!
