15. Moxie

Senior (9 years 3 months) · Male · Bichon Frise / Terrier / Mixed (long coat) · 67 mi from Troy

Meet Moxie!

A sweet nine-year-old Bichon Frise/Terrier mix currently in Granite Bay, CA, whose fluffy white coat, playful spirit, and affectionate personality make him a delightful little companion.

Weighing around 13 pounds, Moxie is a charming senior gentleman who knows how to appreciate life's simple pleasures. His favorite activities include leisurely walks, delicious meals, and soaking up all the pets and affection his favorite people can offer. When someone he loves walks through the door, his excitement is absolutely contagious! This little guy has a wonderful way of making everyday reunions feel like special occasions.

Read more about Moxie

Moxie enjoys a comfortable routine with morning and evening walks, regular meals, and plenty of opportunities for companionship. He's also perfectly content relaxing alone for short periods. While he takes his doorbell duties seriously and may announce visitors with a bark, he settles once he recognizes who's arrived.

This clever boy knows sit, stay, and lie down. Moxie has previously shared his space with a feline friend and is comfortable around cats. He's selective about canine companions, and his compatibility with children is unknown.

Moxie is neutered, microchipped, house-trained, and current on vaccinations. He has undergone knee and back surgeries and has a history of joint discomfort, but currently has no mobility concerns. He's carrying some extra weight and follows a prescription weight management diet. Regular grooming, dental chews, and gentle exercise help support his well-being.

Moxie can be protective around food and has occasionally nipped when uncomfortable with a visitor, so a family who respects his boundaries and practices positive reinforcement would be appreciated.

Above all, Moxie needs a loving family who will enjoy walks, playtime, and sharing affection with this endearing little fellow. He has so much personality packed into his small frame! Please note that we are currently accepting adoption applications from families located on the West Coast only. Could this lovable, fluffy gentleman be the walking buddy and affectionate companion you've been hoping to welcome into your life? To learn more about adopting Moxie, contact adopt@joyfulpets.com.

Adult (4 years 2 months) · Female · Chihuahua / Terrier / Mixed (short coat) · 67 mi from Troy

Meet Princess!

A spirited four-year-old Chihuahua mix currently in San Diego, CA, whose big personality shines through her adorable white coat with golden patches. Weighing just eight pounds, this tiny sweetheart has the confidence of a much larger dog and a heart overflowing with love for her favorite people!

Read more about Princess

Princess takes her royal title seriously! As the self-appointed leader of her canine pack, she enjoys keeping everyone informed about visitors, especially delivery people. She is quick to sound the alarm when someone approaches the door, making her a pint-sized neighborhood watch captain. Although vocal, Princess has no history of biting or snapping. With patience, positive reinforcement, and consistent routines, she can learn to feel more comfortable when visitors arrive.

When she isn't supervising her surroundings, Princess enjoys running, jumping, chasing balls, and playing with soft toys. After an exciting play session, she's equally happy curling up for a relaxing nap. Her favorite place is wherever her special person happens to be!

Princess is house-trained, crate-trained, and knows commands including sit and come. She appreciates predictable feeding and sleeping schedules. Being alone can make her nervous, so a comfortable crate helps keep her settled and away from tempting trash cans.

This affectionate girl gets along with cats and enjoys the company of adults and respectful children, particularly older kids. While she can coexist with other dogs, Princess is selective about her canine companions. She would likely thrive initially as the only dog, with carefully managed introductions if another pup joins her family.

Princess has no known medical conditions, although she experiences some anxiety, and her spay surgery is upcoming. Monthly grooming helps keep her beautiful coat looking lovely. Because she can jump fences, secure outdoor spaces and attentive supervision are important.

Above all, Princess needs a patient, loving family who appreciates her protective spirit, playful energy, and affectionate nature. She'll bring laughter, companionship, and plenty of Chihuahua charm to everyday adventures! Could this tiny queen with a mighty heart be the loving companion you've been waiting to welcome into your family? To learn more about adopting Princess, contact adopt@joyfulpets.com.

Adult (6 years 8 months) · Male · Chinese Crested-Hairless (short coat) · 67 mi from Troy

Meet Obi!

A spunky six-and-a-half-year-old Chinese Crested currently in San Diego, CA, whose playful spirit, brilliant mind, and beautiful blue coat with white accents make him an unforgettable little companion. Weighing just 17 pounds, this charming boy has an enormous heart and enough personality to fill any room!

Read more about Obi

Obi's name means "heart," and he certainly lives up to it. Exceptionally loving, intuitive, and delightfully silly, he has a special way of making people smile. Whether he's rolling over, jumping for treats, offering a high-five, or sharing kisses when the mood strikes, Obi knows how to spread joy! His treasured squirrel toy has been his favorite since puppyhood, although Mickey Mouse, squeaky toys, and a lively game of fetch are close contenders.

This clever boy loves learning and already knows commands like stay, come, leave it, and paw. Food rewards and enthusiastic praise make training especially exciting for him! He's house-trained, crate-trained, enjoys car rides, and appreciates companionship.

Obi needs a loving family with two pet parents, including someone with a flexible schedule who can provide regular exercise, meaningful interaction, and plenty of opportunities to explore. Although friendly toward people, he sometimes becomes overly excited on walks and pulls toward other dogs and passersby. Patient, positive reinforcement training will help him practice calmer greetings.

Because introductions with other dogs have been challenging, Obi would benefit from initially being the only dog while his comfort around canine companions is thoughtfully assessed. His compatibility with children and cats remains unknown.

Obi is vaccinated and microchipped. He will be required to be neutered prior to placement in his new home. He manages skin allergies with periodic injections, which have shown improvement, alongside weekly baths, moisturizing, attentive skin care, and regular nail trimming. He also has a history of ear infections.

Above all, Obi is a resilient, affectionate little character who brings laughter, loyalty, and unconditional love to everyday moments! He's ready to share his remarkable heart with a family who appreciates his unique needs and joyful spirit. Could this extraordinary little sweetheart be the missing piece of your heart?

26. Toshi

Young (2 years 3 months) · Male · Dachshund / Chihuahua / Mixed (short coat) · 67 mi from Troy

Meet Toshi!

A spirited two-year-old Dachshund/Chihuahua mix currently in Brimfield, MA, whose adorable tricolor coat, playful personality, and loyal heart make this 14-pound sweetheart a delightful companion.

Toshi may be small, but his personality is anything but! This energetic little guy loves going for walks, chewing on his favorite antlers, and spending quality time with his favorite people. Whether he's accompanying you on an adventure or curling up for some well-earned cuddles, Toshi enjoys being part of the family. He even likes car rides, making him a wonderful little travel buddy!

Read more about Toshi

One of Toshi's most endearing qualities is his deep loyalty. He takes time to build trust, but once he feels comfortable, his affectionate side truly shines. He loves kisses, snuggles, and being close to the people who make him feel safe. His early experiences left him cautious, so patience and gentle encouragement are important as he adjusts to unfamiliar surroundings.

Toshi is great with both cats and dogs! He peacefully shares his space with feline friends and enjoys canine companionship. He's also suitable for families with respectful children ages nine and older. Because younger children can make him uncomfortable, a home without little ones will help him feel secure.

This clever boy is house-trained, knows "sit" and "come," and handles short periods alone well. He can be vocal and occasionally cautious around strangers, but positive reinforcement and consistency can help build his confidence. A securely fenced yard or safe outdoor space with supervised, leashed walks is important for this adventurous little explorer.

Toshi is neutered, microchipped, up to date on vaccinations, and healthy. He enjoys a simple routine, including meals twice daily. His new loving home should offer patience, companionship, affection, and plenty of opportunities to play. An active person or couple who understands that trust grows with time could share a beautiful bond with this devoted boy!

Ready to welcome Toshi into your heart and discover just how much love this little companion has to give? Contact adopt@joyfulpets.com to learn more about adopting him!

Adult · Female · Jindo (Korean) / Terrier / Mixed · 35 mi from Troy

Located in Brooklyn NYC -Meet Yuzu! A sweet, affectionate girl with a gentle soul, a silly personality, and so much love to give.Yuzu is a 6-year-old, 27-pound South Asian Village Dog who was rescued from the streets of Kathmandu, Nepal. Before coming to the United States, Yuzu was known as an incredibly friendly dog in her neighborhood. She would often visit a local outdoor café, happily approaching people, making friends, and enjoying all the attention. From the very beginning, Yuzu has loved people and children and has always had a special way of connecting with those around her.What makes her wonderful: Yuzu is affectionate, gentle, silly, smart, and incredibly emotionally intuitive.

Read more about Yuzu

She is a true companion dog who loves being close to her people and being included in everyday life. After coming to the United States, Yuzu spent six wonderful years with her family in California. She has lived in both a city with a backyard and a quieter beach town, and she has always enjoyed being part of family life.Yuzu loves cuddling, belly scratches, hiking, beaches, sunbathing, squirrels, lizards, and especially beach zoomies! She has a fun and playful side, but she is also perfectly happy relaxing beside her people. She is house trained, crate trained, comfortable being home alone, and has excellent house manners. She is very food motivated, knows her basic commands, and responds beautifully to positive reinforcement.Yuzu absolutely loves children and has successfully lived with several cats. She also enjoys the company of gentle, playful dogs she knows and trusts. She is a devoted little companion who wants nothing more than to feel safe, loved, and included in her family's everyday life.What She Needs: Yuzu would thrive in a quieter, peaceful environment where she doesn't have to constantly navigate the overwhelming stimulation of a busy city. Since moving to New York City, her family has realized that the loud noises, constant activity, and sheer number of dogs and people have been very difficult for her. The amount of stimulation has been overwhelming for her, and her family is concerned about her quality of life in this environment.Yuzu can be nervous around unfamiliar larger dogs, particularly when she is on leash. When she becomes overwhelmed or frightened, she may bark or lunge out of fear. This is something she has made meaningful progress with over the years through patience, positive reinforcement, and support. Her family believes she would be much happier in a quieter area with less dog traffic, access to nature, and ideally a yard.Yuzu needs someone who understands sensitive dogs and is willing to give her patience, consistency, and reassurance as she continues building confidence. She doesn't need a busy lifestyle—she needs a peaceful one. A home where she can enjoy walks in quieter areas, spend time outdoors, relax in her yard, and be close to her people would be ideal.Health: Yuzu is a happy and healthy girl, although her anxiety has increased since moving to the city, and she is currently on a full dose of anxiety medication to help her cope with the environment. Her family is seeking a home where she can experience less stimulation and hopefully enjoy a better quality of life. She has excellent house manners, is house and crate trained, and is comfortable being left home alone. Why we're rehoming her: This is an incredibly difficult decision for Yuzu's family because they love her very much. Yuzu has spent six happy years with them in California, and she has been a cherished member of their family. They have watched her grow, traveled through different environments with her, and know how loving and special she is.Unfortunately, since moving to New York City, they have realized that the busy urban environment is simply too overwhelming for Yuzu. The constant noise, activity, and high density of dogs have made it difficult for her to feel comfortable and relaxed. Her family doesn't want her to spend her life feeling ov
