Jet is an energetic guy that loves to run. He gets a little anxious when home alone and prefers the tv to be left on for him while he is alone and in his crate. Super cuddly and friendly guy. Doesn’t bark! Amazing with kids including toddlers and babies.

Story
I Am One of the Max Collection!Tabitha was born about April 1, 2013 and weighs a bit too much at about 90 lbs.  This girl is very proud of her curves and when her favorite human has been gone for a few hours she does the most delightful, bouncy, dance that we've ever seen!   She is absolutely adorable and has been very good with all of us, but terribly shy at first.  She is good with other dogs, fine in the car and on leash.  This gorgeous girl has been tossed away and will be so thankful for a new home where she will be cherished!  She was left at a shelter when her babies were two days old, guess she became an inconvenience.  She was terrified for herself and her infants when we loaded them up to come here just a couple of days later.  She was a very good Mom, surmounted the stress and kept taking care of her babies who grew to be strong and healthy and now she is looking for a new home that will love her unconditionally!  It is obvious that Tabitha has not always been treated well by humans and she is terrified of being touched by new humans and she is terrified of new places.  She will take much time and effort to adjust to a new life, but she is a really wonderful, loving, girl once comfortable.  Due to her fears she truly must have a fenced in yard. Tabitha is too interested in cats to live with any. Adoptions fees vary based on adoptability.

Story
In Memory of Papa Ouderkirk   'I have always had a huge heart for all animals, but especially cats. We even adopted two cats from Joyful Rescues: Leia and Lucy. Lucy is actually one of the cats that came from a transport, and when I saw how small and weak, she was, as well how she always scarfed down every meal as if it would be her last, I felt terrible for her.  I would like to name this transport “The Papa Ouderkirk Memorial Transport” in memory of my grandfather, who passed away in 2019 due to lung cancer he was a lover of cats as well'. - Christianna Reynolds  Freebie was born around August 04, 2019 and weighs about 20 pounds.  It seems Freebie came from a puppy mill or backyard breeding situation.  She ADORES other dogs and is happy and playful with them.   Freebie wants to love us humans and will walk up to us but runs in fear when we try to touch her.   Freebie has never been aggressive to human touch just extremely fearful.  Freebie must have a secure fenced in yard and another playful well socialized dog in her next home.  It is going to take some work and patience to show Freebie that humans are wonderful but the outcome will be well worth it for you and for Freebie .  Please do some reading on working with mill dogs before applying to adopt Freebie.  Update:  Still no human has touched this girl, but she will come within a few feet of the human she sees the most.  When she gets near I smile, wave, and say her name and she wags her tail, but will run immediately if I move toward her.  I'll keep working on it.  She does use the dog door freely and does come into the TV room with the other dogs and two humans in the evening, but she looks around, plays with another dog and then she is off doing more dog things.  Freebie does shed. The Adoption Fee for this dog is $450.00 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
I'm one of the Lily Transport!In 2014 Joyful Rescues returned from Tennessee with a little dog they called Fuzzy.  One look at her photo and we knew she was 'the one'.  Every day with this happy pup, now named Lily, reminds us of the tremendous gift Joyful Rescues gave us by saving her life.  So we dedicate this transport to Lily so that she, along with us, can 'pay it forward' giving more beautiful animals a chance at a happy life.  Sincerely The Artful Gardener (727 Mt. Hope Ave., Rochester, NY)   Chloe was born about June 18, 2014 and weighs about 85 lbs. Chloe is a Joyful Rescues sanctuary dog as she was adopted out twice and returned leaving us to realize she wasn't going to make it in the real world and she is perfectly happy right here.  Chloe has made it very clear that she has found her forever home. Chloe is a one man girl and will not be sharing her heart with any other male, only her foster dad at JR.  Chloe is what some may call “un-adoptable .” Joyful Rescues remains committed to our Sanctuary Dogs and Cats. They will stay with us for their natural lives and we will care for and love them. We will be their forever family. We wish we could do it alone but we need your help. We are looking for people who can help us with Chloe’s care. Please click the link below and donate. Chloe thanks you. https://www.paypal.com/donate   Adoptions fees vary based on adoptability.

Story
Thank You Barker Family!Pepper was born about May 15, 2015 and weighs about 50 lbs.  She is a Joyful Rescues sanctuary pet because she arrived from the southern high kill shelter extremely fearful of humans, but she is wonderful with all the other dogs here.  Pepper never found a home because she has a very fast bite response to any human that moves too fast around her or in any situation where she feels uncertain what the human may do - even to reach out and pet her.  Every one here understands this and new humans in the house are told ahead of entering not to reach out to Pepper.  With this understanding of her behavior she has been living here and will continue to live here happily.  She enjoys the activity and the acreage playing with the other dogs and is welcome to stay as long as she lives.   Joyful Rescues has no funding except for our adoption fees and miscellaneous donations.
