About JovieCall Us
About JovieMeet & Greet
Jovie
Dogs – Yes
Cats – Not a good fit
Kids – Yes, 10 and up
Somebody clearly knew what they were doing when they named this girl, because Jovie is pure joy on four legs. She's clever enough to learn your whole routine and dramatic enough to have loud opinions about all of it.
Here's what makes us light up about her. Put Jovie in a room full of dogs and she's in absolute heaven. She goes to daycare over at PetSuites, passed her evaluation with flying colors, and the staff there loved her so much they asked if she could keep coming even after she gets adopted! She runs, she plays, she makes a new best friend in about four seconds flat, and she comes home happy and worn out.
She's still a puppy at heart, so she's dreaming of people who are up for hikes, backyard zoomies, and the big satisfied flop on the couch when the day is done. And she's food motivated and eager to please, so training her feels less like work and more like a game she is absolutely determined to win.
Jovie is looking for older kids who can keep pace with her and a cat-free home, since she and felines have very different ideas about how playtime is supposed to go. For the right active family who has been waiting on a smart, funny, big-hearted dog to bring a little chaos and a lot of love through the front door, she could be the whole package.
Her name means joyful, and she spends every single day proving the point!

Not Quite Ready To Adopt?
You can make an immeasurable impact by opening your home and your heart to an animal in need. Fostering is a great opportunity to introduce a pet into your home without making a lifelong commitment. Many of our foster humans end up adopting their fostered animals, but many also choose to just provide the temporary shelter and love our animals need to get through a trying time.
