Joker Hound Newport, NC

Meet this adorable fella named Joker! He came into the shelter as a stray on February 26, 2024 and was never reclaimed so he’s now awaiting his adoption day. He is such a happy go lucky boy who seems to love life and being with his human friends. He is tall and a big boy…would love a home with a tall fenced in yard to play and run freely in. Settling into shelter life but he hopes his stay won’t be too long. Maybe you’re the perfect person to give Joker his FOREVER home?! Joker came in around 3 years old (judging by teeth), current on shots, and excited to meet you. Stop by for a visit with this happy big boy and adopt him into your heart and home.
If you have another dog and are interested in meeting another potential new furry member please bring him or her to the shelter and meet on neutral ground before adopting. No need to shuffle the animals around any more than necessary. Please know that 1 mosquito bite can create heart worms and they can be fatal if not treated. It is VERY important to keep your pets healthy and protected by keeping them on a once a month heart worm and flea/tick prevention. These animals are counting on you as their owner to provide them with lots a love and the proper health care so PLEASE make sure you are aware and prepared before adopting. Owning a pet is an extra expense and responsibility but is so worth every minute and penny you invest in them. They will add lots of joy and unconditional love if given a fair chance.
The shelter is open Mon.-Fri. 10-1, 2-5, Sat. 10-4. Adopt a homeless pet and save a life. If you can not adopt right now come out and volunteer and make a difference in the lives of these animals while they await their FOREVER home.
In order to adopt any of our "bully breeds" there is special paper work that will need to be collected and approved prior to the adoption. We love all of our dogs and want to make sure to place our "bully babies" in homes best suited for them.
