Squeegee is a scruffy, little 6-year-old #MiniaturePoodle + #JackRussellTerrier mix who just wants to chill out and relax the day away. Does that sound like your vibe? Joybound's adoptions are open weekdays from 12 PM - 7 PM and weekends from 11 AM - 6 PM. joybound.org/adopt

🍇 Some treats are just too good to pass up — one look at this face and you’ll be picking your very own Mulberry before you know it. This 2-month-old #AustralianShepherd mix is as sweet as his name and just as hard to resist. 🐾💜 joybound.org/adopt/

Today is a beautiful day to come cuddle a cat at Joybound's Thrift Store, Cat Lounge & Adoption Center! We have some lovely kitties here (like Flonase), who cant wait to get to know you for a few minutes or maybe even the rest of their lives! joybound.org/adopt/thrift-s…

Circle Saturday, April 11 on your calendar for Joybound's annual Puppy & Kitten Party! We're celebrating springtime and the influx of young, vulnerable animals that comes along with it — especially how it impacts Joybound's foster department. joybound.org/event/puppy-ki…

Rex, a 2-year-old Labrador Retriever mix is one of the candidates currently looking to be matched with a new family as an #ESA. Smart, motivated, and full of LOVE, he's a perfect example of a shelter dog who's ready to be much more than a pet.

Thousands of shelter animals come into Joybound's care every year. Our team selects the most special among them to join our Shelter to Service program as #EmotionalSupportAnimal or #PsychiatricServiceDog candidates. joybound.org/services/shelt…

🌶️ Nothing spices up your life quite like bringing home a puppy — and Pepper, Caliente, and Chili are ready to meet you TODAY! Joybound's adoptions open weekdays at 12 PM and weekends at 11 AM. joybound.org/adopt/
