Happy Birthday Gary Groot!
My siblings and I decided to sponsor this life saving transport to honor our father's 81st birthday. Our father, Gary Groot, is the main reason we are all animal lovers. We grew up watching and learning how to properly pamper our puppies and he instilled in us the importance of adoption; how it saves lives. My father just lost his beloved Precious who he loved with all his heart and took her everywhere, even bought a travel trailer so she could join him on mission projects for the church. Precious was by his side for the last 15 years and will now wait for him at the Rainbow Bridge. Suzanne, Karen & Tom
Peach was born about January 7, 2020 and weighs a bit too much in the 85 pound range. She is wonderful with the other dogs and adores us humans, but is a bit shy of strangers. It won't take long to cause this 'peach' of a dog to love you She is sweet natured, intelligent, and human oriented. Peach does enjoy wading deep into the pond, but hasn't actually swam yet.
Update from the mom of a litter mate: Hi Everyone,
I thought I would include all of you in this Rosie update as not only do I want to give a 'progress report' but I also had Rosie's DNA run and have some very interesting results to share. Other than her persistent fear of humans, Rosie is such a sweetheart and is a very happy girl! She loves the yard (and the pond!) and goes outside with me, Cooper or all alone where she is adorable as she entertains herself. She cuddles with me and loves the cats who chase her to play. She knows 'kiss', 'sit' and sometimes 'high 5'. She waits at the door when she needs to go out and walks well on the leash if I take her on that. She has pretty much had the run of the house since she came.
Drum roll please - her DNA results:
30% Beagle
29% Great Pyrenees!!!!
22% Treeing Walker Coonhound
12% Shapendoes (herding dog)
4% Basset hound
3% Plott hound
The Adoption Fee for this dog is $300.00
Adoptions fees vary based on adoptability. In general our fees include spay/neuter, all age appropriate vaccines, Home Again micro-chipping & registration, worming & flea control - a 'complete' pet. We accept CASH or Visa/Mastercard ONLY.
Joyful Rescues has no funding except for our adoption fees and miscellaneous donations. Pet care and vet bills are expensive - you must be ready to take on this financial (as well as emotional) responsibility.
YOU MUST BE AT LEAST 25 YEARS OF AGE TO ADOPT A DOG FROM JOYFUL RESCUES
We keep our pet list as up-to-date as possible. As soon as a pet is adopted, it is removed from the list. If a pet is still showing, it is still available for adoption.
