Notes from Doggie Harmony

Meet Jolly — Your Built-In Best Friend!

At just 3.5 years old and a solid, huggable 61 lbs, Jolly has already lived quite a story. He was once the nighttime companion of a homeless individual, and that early bond with people shines through in everything he does. Jolly is a true companion dog — loyal, sweet, and happiest when he’s by your side.

He is more comfortable and secure if you provide structure and you direct him.

This gentle boy gets along beautifully with other dogs, does just fine with cats, and is an all-around lovebug with adults. Because of his size, he’d do best with older, sturdy kids who understand how to share space with a big softie.

He would benefit from basic training and learning that he doesn't have to manage everything, he has a human to do that. Training would make him feel more secure.

Age: 3.5 years

Weight: 60 lbs

Temperament: Good with other dogs, cats, older sturdy kids, all adults

Training: Housetrained, crate-trained, walks nicely on leash

Vetting: neutered, up-to-date on vaccines, heartworm negative

Email for questions: asimon100@outlook.com

To ensure we're meeting both pet and adopters' needs, we ask potential adopters to complete an Adoption Application (www.bit.ly/DH-Adoption) for caretakers to review. Once your application is approved, we will bring the adoptable pet to your home for a preliminary visit.

What happens next

  1. Contact Doggie Harmony using the button. AdoptNearby does not take applications.
  2. They will send you their application or ask a few questions about your home.
  3. Most organizations arrange a meet, sometimes a home visit, then a small adoption fee that usually covers spay or neuter and vaccines. That fee is paid to Doggie Harmony, never to AdoptNearby.
  4. Read the dogs care guide so you arrive prepared.
