My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Say hello to adorable Angel! She loves to sniff around the yard and flower beds. Angel walks well on leash, is house broken and a dream in the house and with people. She comes to the door to meet new visitors and looks so happy to meet anyone new. Angel is about 3 years old. She is a bit cautious when meeting/seeing other dogs and needs time to understand other dogs don’t want to hurt her. She would likely do best in a single dog home. She is very smart and makes a great house dog. She loves to be with her people, loves car rides, walks and treats. She has learned how to ring the bell when she needs to go outside. She also can be left out of the crate when we leave the house without any issues.

If you live within 350 miles of Lake Placid, NY or in the Texas area and would like to apply to adopt Angel, please visit our website https://www.joshuafundrescue.org/adoptioninfo

The Joshua Fund Dog Rescue is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. We are an all-volunteer organization and rely solely on donations to save dogs like this from high-kill shelters and put them in forever homes. Thank you for helping us save lives! ⁠

Additional adoption info

What are the requirements to adopt from The Joshua Fund?
1. You must live within the State of New York -OR- within a 350-mile radius of Lake Placid, NY. This includes Canada. You must come to our Adoption Center near Lake Placid, NY to meet us and your new dog or puppy on a designated Adoption Day. The adoption will be finalized at that time.
2. You must be over the age of 23 to adopt from us unless you are married. Proof of marriage is required if you are under 23 years old.
3. You must fill out our adoption application. It's an online form so you can type in your answers and then click SUBMIT when you are finished.
4. You must also submit 4 or 5 photos of both the interior and exterior of your home. Exterior photos must include the front, the back, a photo that shows how your house is situated in relation to the road it is on, and one of the fenced-in area if you do have a fence. Interior photos should include all of the interior areas where the dog will spend its time.
5. As proof of home ownership, you must submit a scan or a file of a recent property tax receipt, mortgage statement or homeowner’s insurance statement if you own your home.
6. If you rent, you must submit a scan or file of your lease agreement including any provisions or addendums involving pets.
7. Please send all files/scans via email to: info@JoshuaFundRescue.org
8. If you fail to provide these documents or leave out any pertinent information on your application, we will discard your application.

Are there any adoption requirements related to my current pets?
1. We require that all other pets in your home are up-to-date on vaccinations.
2. We require that all other pets in your home are spayed/neutered.
3. All dogs should be on regular monthly heart worm and appropriate flea/tick prevention medications.

What is the adoption fee?
The adoption fee for any dog or puppy is $450.
The adoption fee helps us to recover a portion of the expenses we routinely incur in rescue (boarding, vaccinations, worming, spay/neuter and transport) so that we can continue to save other dogs. Please note that the adoption fee is NON-REFUNDABLE.

When I submit an application, how long does it take to hear from The Joshua Fund?
As soon as we open your completed application, we’ll send you an e-mail acknowledgement. It will take from a few days to two weeks to hear back from us. Our volunteers have day jobs and families to take care of and they do this in their spare time.

Canadian Adopters will have all the paperwork needed to cross the Border the same day (there is no extra charge for the paperwork.) Your fee/fees must be USD.

Adoption application

Go meet their pets

We do not have a physical building like a shelter does. We are a Foster-based Rescue and our dogs and puppies remain with their Foster Family in their city/state of origin until they have a pre-approved, confirmed adopter. We mainly rescue from the Houston, Texas area.

More about this rescue

The Joshua Fund rescues dogs from high kill shelters across the US but primarily from the Houston, TX area. All of our dogs are tested and treated for any medical conditions they may have. They're up to date on shots, are spayed/neutered and are heartworm negative when they get their Health Certificate for interstate travel. We take special care to ensure that our dogs are healthy before they leave for their journey North. We rescue dogs who are unwanted and have no hope for a future without us. We're a small Rescue, taking only as many dogs at a time as we can place into excellent homes. We know that our dogs have a sad past - we strive to give them a wonderful future.
The Joshua Fund is a Registered Rescue with NYS Department of Agriculture and Markets. Registration No. RR096
