Story
Roscoe was born around August 27, 2019 and weighs about 20 pounds.  Roscoe gets along with other dogs and cats and has been around children as young as seven without any issues. Roscoe rides well in the car and walks nicely on a leash. Roscoe has an incredible long brindle coat that, with regular care, will be stunningly beautiful.  He came to us from an unfortunate environment with a flea infestation allergy and since it went untreated so long, he also had a secondary skin bacterial problem which went untreated so long he had some 'alligator' skin doing on in places, all of which has healed beautifully!  Roscoe needed a round of antibiotic and we've continued a bi-weekly bath (which he is wonderful about) with shampoos specifically for itch relief  and anti-inflammatory response which we will send with you if you remind us.  We do leave the shampoo on for 10 minutes and then rinse and we have used a calming conditioner too.  Perhaps, there will come a time in his future when so many shampoos are not necessary, but for us it's a small chore to continue his health and healing.  Although our steps were not expensive, in our opinion, we would like him to go to a new home that won't mind some vet bills just in case he has a flare up again due to stress, etc.  Now back to his personality - it's big!  He is the ultimate lap and snuggle buddy and when I sit at the end of the day I try to find a soft or shiny blankie for my lap and he jumps up, on me, rolls around for a few minutes wagging and smiling (I swear) and then settles in for a nap.  Although I just adore this little guy he needs someone that is available to him more than I am.  He is not a barker.  I'm trying to think of something negative to say about him and am struggling, but I'll keep thinking about it until I hear from some lucky person out there!  Oh, need to mention that he has very sensitive feelings, He gets hurts/worried if he thinks he did something wrong or someone is angry at him.  So, his ideal home will have a soft, friendly, aura. The Adoption Fee for this dog is $500.00 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.   Can't Adopt Me?  SPONSOR ME Look for the Link 'Special Instructions to Seller' if you want to note a particular pet Before you seek to adopt a pet from Joyful Rescues, please read our Pet Adoption page http://www.joyfulrescues.org/pet_adoption.html.

Story
Pepper was born about August 1, 2024 and will probably top out in the 5 lb. range when filled out.  She has had a loving environment growing up with an elderly woman with few resources.  Coming here, to us (an hour away) was only the second time she has been in a car (in a cat crate) and there was some drooling sickness.  She has been around few other humans with simply no outdoor play time and found comfort in friendship with the other 70 lb. dog and several kitties, she was wonderful with all of them.  We were told she generally uses a litter box with pellets for potty or a potty pad.  Pepper has never seen a veterinarian in her life until she arrived here and we'll be doing all necessary health care to ready her for a new home.  Pepper came from a now closed due to NYS law pet store in Wellsville called Wet and Wild and she was purchased for $900 as a Pom.  OK, well, maybe there is some Pom in there, but she surely looks like a Chihuahua to us.  Her owner was kind and even though Pepper had to come here because she was losing her home and forced to move into an apartment that only allowed one cat she offered us some cash which we promptly denied as we explained that we are so very fortunate to have so many previous adopters along with many dog loving friends and supporters that we told her the most important thing is that she take care of herself and Joyful Rescues and our community of helpers would take care of her dogs.  Thank you all!  On we go..... The Adoption Fee for this dog is $_600.00_. Adoptions fees vary based on adoptability.

Story
The Kramer family has chosen to sponsor the costs of transport and medical care for the 17 Walworth dogs as a gift in honor of all our fur babies we have lost over the years and all my friends' fur babies that have also crossed the Rainbow Bridge - none will ever be forgotten.  Our wish is that each of the Walworth-furred ones find loving homes where they are cherished.  Love, Cheryl, Dave, Ryan, and Cassie Kramer   Benny, born around August 1, 2020 and weighing approximately 13 pounds, came from a home in the Rochester area that needed assistance with their 30 dogs. The owners welcomed too many dogs into their home and eventually became overwhelmed, leading them to seek help. Benny is a delightful little fellow who loves his humans dearly. He may try to herd them if they stray off course, and watch out for playful nibbles on exposed toes, making him unsuitable for homes with small children. Initially shy around strangers, once Benny warms up to you, he becomes the most affectionate companion, eager to cuddle in your lap after some play time fun.  Benny is house trained but we like to mention that often these small dogs benefit from having potty floor pads handy for those just in case moments.  He's comfortable riding in cars, walking on a leash, and even enjoys kayaking—anything to be close to his people. Benny's cheerful demeanor and compatibility with other dogs, regardless of size, make him an exceptional pet who could easily become your most cherished companion.  Benny is also fine with cats. The Adoption Fee for this dog is $500.00 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.

Story
Mocha was born around December 20, 2015 and weighs about 9 pounds.  We were asked to take Mocha because her human was losing the home.  It's obvious Mocha was very loved by her previous humans. Mocha has been fine with all of her new foster siblings, which include dogs of all sizes, kitties, a parrot, and a husband! Mocha moved into the chaos that is her new foster home as if she had lived there her entire life! We are told Mocha is fine around children, but we dont have any children here to test her with.  Mocha rides well in the car and walks nicely on a leash.  Mocha loves toys, burrowing in blankets, and just being with her people. Mocha has been using potty pads in her foster home and is doing well.  She seems to be a move-in-ready, bombproof girl, and we all adore her!    UPDATE: We have seen Mocha with children as young as 3, and she was wonderful with them.   The Adoption Fee for this dog is $500.00 Adoptions fees vary based on adoptability.

Rita was born around January 1, 2016, and weighs around 9 pounds.  Rita found herself at a local high kill pound, and we knew we had to help her! Rita has been an absolute delight. Rita rides well in the car and has been wonderful with the other dogs.  We dont have kids here, but we can not imagine she would be a problem with them. You will likely have to work on potty training, and as many small dogs do, she will need ongoing dental care, but she is so worth it!  The Adoption Fee for this dog is $350.00.

Story
🐾 BOLT was one of 8 little dogs a local owner was struggling to care for and then faced homelessness, to boot. They surrendered 4 of them to us, and we've got them all fully vetted now, and they're acclimating to their life changes at their respective fosters and doing fairly well. They're all a little timid and unsure and will need to patience and time to feel comfortable and safe again. Bolt is reported to be 3 years old and as we said, now fully vetted. His foster does report he's coming around slowly, but needs someone willing to give him time and space and not to push him. Because of this, we're saying kids would not be a good fit for Bolt at this time. 👉 Adoption fee INCLUDES: all vetting to age (including deworming, flea & tick etc), spay/neuter and microchip (if the dog is under 6 months, alter and chip will occur after they're 6 months, covered in full at our clinic or reimbursed partially at a vet of your choosing). If the dog is older than 6 months and not yet altered, we will schedule ASAP (normally within 30 days) at our clinic . We also provide as an incentive a $60 rebate for completion of positive-based training classes. Adoption also includes lifetime support of the rescue. 💜 Please click PURPLE BUTTON above to apply or go to www.secondhanddogrescue.com/apply ! ✍ APPLICATION PROCESSING: We do most application processing virtually and dog meets will be individually by appointment with ONLY APPROVED APPLICANTS. We are not a shelter and are completely volunteer foster-based, so there is no central place to come see all of the dogs available. 📌IMPORTANT NOTES: ** Housetraining with rescues is sometimes a work in progress and even if a dog is 100% in a foster's home, it should be expected there will be an adjustment period as a dog adapts to a new environment. This is even more true if the dog has not by chance had their altering appointment at time of adoption. ** Also, we highly recommend some form of 2-week shutdown and decompression for dogs going to a new home for best results. --> Lastly, breed guesses in rescue are just that (GUESSES!!) 99.9% of the time. We do not do DNA testing and our breed guesses are based on appearance and sometimes other traits, but we know the dog breed guessing game is a fool's errand even for those with LOTS of experience. 🗺 ADOPTION AREA: several hour radius of Rochester, NY (Canada within 3 hours IS allowed, except that young puppies need to be old enough to have gotten their rabies vaccination to cross the border - usually around 16 weeks)
