Meet Jones ๐Ÿถ๐Ÿ’› This goofball lives for wiggles, hap Meet Jones ๐Ÿถ๐Ÿ’› This goofball lives for wiggles, happy dances, and making every day feel like a little celebration!

Hereโ€™s what you get when you adopt Jones:
๐Ÿ’› A 3-year-old goofball who wakes up every day choosing joy
๐Ÿ’› Top-tier wiggly dance moves (he really puts his whole self into it)
๐Ÿ’› A collection of facial expressions that belong in a meme museum
๐Ÿ’› Surprise snuggles exactly when you need them most

Jones didnโ€™t get the best start in life. He came to us underweight, covered in cuts and bruises, and dealing with flea anemia. We donโ€™t know much about his past, but we do know he didnโ€™t get to enjoy being a dog, so now heโ€™s making up for lost time with all his happy, silly antics.

Because he missed out on socialization, Jones can be a little awkward around other dogs. He sometimes misreads their signals and gives off mixed messages. We think he could do well with the right dog friend, so we highly recommend a meet and greet to see if the vibes align.

Jones is in our START dog training classes and learning new skills every week, working hard to be ready for his forever home. If youโ€™re ready for a dog who makes life brighter, lighter, and full of smiles, Jones is waiting! ๐Ÿ’›๐Ÿพ

Stop by the shelter during open hours to meet him or apply at hsdayton.org/adopt/dogs

We want to give a huge shoutout to @dayton247now for their continues support for animals in our care just like Jones, while they wait for their forever homes.

Sun, the sweetest 3-year-old mixed breed, recently visited @hidden_springs_of_springboro for some Pet Therapy fun. She brought warmth, cuddles, and plenty of smiles to the residents, spreading joy just like her name promises! ๐ŸŒž๐Ÿ’›

We love partnering with organizations in our community like Hidden Springs. Spending time with animals can reduce stress, ease loneliness, and boost mood. Our Pet Therapy Program lets seniors enjoy these benefits while giving dogs like Sun valuable socialization and experience out in the community. What a perfect way to start the weekend! ๐Ÿถโœจ

Sun is currently available for adoption! Stop by the shelter any time during open hours to meet her, or apply online at hsdayton.org/adopt/dogs. Let a little Sun shine into your home today! ๐ŸŒŸ
