Story
Zeus was born around August 20, 2018 and might top out in the 90 pound range once he's reached a healthy weight.  Zeus is with is because his human passed away.  Zeus is a very happy GSD and adores humans big and small but we are going to say no small kids because he doesn't know how big he is.  Zeus is wonderful with other dogs but he can not live with cats as they are just too much fun to chase. Zeus rides beautifully in the car and walks ok on a leash. He also hangs with you nicely off leash with an occasional reminder of calling him back.  Zeus is slightly weak in the back end and will need NSAIDS such as Rimadyl to keep him comfortable.  Zeus came to us with missing hair on his side from a flea infestation but it is growing back quickly.  Zeus is an incredible GSD, but please remember these XL breeds need lots of vet care at the end of their lives.  You must be prepared financially and emotionally to give this guy everything he deserves, he's so worth it and we love him already.  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. 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
Marlene was born around March 24, 2025 and might top out in the 70-75 pound range when done growing. We did see Marlene's parents, and both strongly resembled GSDS, but please remember we are just going on what we are told. Marlene seems to be a very well-adjusted baby who will need normal puppy training but is very smart. We will be looking for a home with large breed experience to ensure this little cutie pie grows up to be the best family member she can be!  Oddly enough Marlene is missing one toe from one of her rear feet.  It doesn't bother her at all, we noticed while doing photos.  So, she is unique! The Adoption Fee for this dog is $500.00 Adoptions fees vary based on adoptability.

Story
Troy was born about December 1, 2021, and is going to top out at about 95 pounds.  He came to us from dog control from a nearby town and the story goes that he was a 'garage dog' and somehow got away and the owner didn't have the means, or desire, to bail him out of doggie jail.  When he was first found he was a little underweight but packed on some pounds and now he is filled out and his is one, big, beautiful, boy!  He is fantastic with all the other dogs from the sassy Chihuahua to the elderly Rottie and he is having a blast chasing/playing with the other dogs of similar age and size.  Troy rides fine in the car and is fine on leash, but will hang with you in the country off leash.  He surely appears to be all GSD, but we have no proof so there may be a mix of something else in there.  He was easy going meeting us for the first time and happy to join everyone in our home.  We have a dog door open 24/7 and he quickly figured it out and seems to be house trained, he was probably 'garage' trained prior.  So far there is only one thing he needs work on and we are doing our best to turn this behavior around quickly and that is his infatuation with human food and with his height it is very easy for him to take what he wishes from the stove or counter.  Again, we are working on this, but it is likely a work in progress and work will need to continue into his next understanding and careful home.   The Adoption Fee for this dog is $500.00 Adoptions fees vary based on adoptability.

Story
Meet Tessa - She is a young german shepherd mix who is one very intense girl! In order for Tessa to be happy and thrive in a new home, she needs a lot of mental stimulation, she is very focused and intense, high energy and confident. She would be a good working dog, as she is not your typical house dog. She also would need a fenced yard to keep this very active girl contained. She would do best as the only pet, she needs a lot of activity and exercise. She would not be a good fit with children under the age of 16.

Story
November is Adopt a Senior Dog Month! If you’re all about Netflix and chill Grace is your girl, because she is all about the chill! Miss Grace is an 8 year old spayed former family pet of a puppy mill breeder. She gets along with people, kids, dogs, & cats. This beautiful sweet, quiet & gentle lady just wants to hang, eat, enjoy lots of lovins & sit outside and take in nature. She’s in no hurry to go anywhere, walks great on a leash, and is fond of car rides as well. Grace was around children her entire life. She knows commands and also has a playful side; she loves to play catch! She gets along with people, other dogs & the resident cat in her foster home. Grace would be an excellent companion for an older couple as she is so mellow! Come and take this little lady home for the holidays!! Her foster mom says, “Grace is an absolute sweetheart and a joy to have in our home.” *Grace is in foster care. Meet & Greets can be arranged for approved applicants. If you think you might be interested in adopting, your first step should be to complete an Adoption Application found at caninerescue.org. *After you have completed your application, you will get a confirmation that we have received your application. It takes a lot of time to process the applications, so we ask for your patience while we do so. If you see that the dog you were interested in has been adopted it means there were many applications for that dog and we did not get as far as processing your application before a home was found. We welcome you to apply again if you see another dog that interests you. If you have a question, please email your question to adoptions@caninerescue.org. It is much easier and quicker for us to respond by email as we receive many phone calls each day. We do adopt out of state, however we do not transport or ship dogs. Potential adopter must be able and willing to travel to the Rescue to meet the dog they are interested in. *PLEASE double check all of the phone numbers that you provide as if they are incorrect, we will be unable to process your application. Please also let your references know that someone from NCCR will be calling them. Most adoption team members call from their personal phone so advise your references that there may be an unknown number or a private number calling them. NYS Registration #RR028
