A New Playground for Pups

Solo’s Play Yard is Now Open!

Solo’s Play Yard will provide a perfect spot for our shelter dogs to reduce stress and relax.

Imagine a place where adoptable dogs can run, jump, and be their playful selves — well, that place is Solo’s Play Yard. Thanks to a generous anonymous donor, on December 10, 2024, Joybound unveiled a brand-new outdoor space designed to give our adoptable dogs the freedom to run, leap, and explore in a safe, natural environment. The grand opening event featured a dedication, ribbon cutting,
and reception.

Named after Solo, a playful pup who loves nothing more than being outside, this space will allow our dogs to show their true personalities while being closely supervised by our skilled staff and volunteers.

At Joybound, we know that playing is essential to a dog’s well-being. Solo’s Play Yard will provide a perfect spot for our shelter dogs to reduce stress and relax, helping them present their happiest selves to potential adopters.

Visitors will also have the opportunity to see firsthand the joy and companionship these dogs can bring to a home, helping to strengthen community bonds.

The play yard also offers a neutral space for introducing dogs to each other, promoting positive interactions that can lead to successful adoption matches. We’re excited for all the wagging tails and happy memories that Solo’s Play Yard will bring in the years ahead!
