Welcome to Big Dog Summer

A pastel pink t-shirt featuring a graphic of three dogs wearing sunglasses. The text reads "BIG DOG SUMMER" along with the website address joybound.org/dogs, set against a grassy background.

From shepherds to staffies, Mastiffs to malamutes, Joybound loves big dogs and we want to take some time to celebrate them this summer! Over the next two months, our training and enrichment team will be providing training tips specific to large dogs, our in-house boutique will be selling fun “Big Dog Summer” t-shirts, and our adoption team will be waiving adoption fees on all large dogs (weighing 50+ lbs) every Wednesday until the end of August.

Join us in celebrating everything that makes our larger-than-life canine companions so extra special.
