Story
Hollie was born about February 16, 2005....yes 2005! and weighs about 8 pounds.    Another email begging for help from an overcrowded Southern shelter.  This time it's a tiny dog that has lived a horrible life for 19 years and then gets dumped at the shelter with her eyes matted shut. The only vet care Hollie had was in 2014 when she was taken to a vet with a 'Fetal membrane hanging from the vagina'  The Southern shelter does the very best they can and got her cleaned up and worked hard to get her out.  We know if we don't step up she will be euthanized never knowing love, happiness, and comfort.  So we agree to take her in.  Hollie has been in foster for a few weeks and is enjoying the feeling of safety and comfort.  She makes little gremlin noises when she feels like being held.  At first, she was only comfortable being held for a few minutes at a time but now she settles in her favorite human's lap for however long that human is sitting. Hollie's sight is limited to shadows and she can not hear.  Hollie can walk or should we say sashay? Hollies left front leg works at odd angles and we have to assume it was broken at one point in her life and healed as is. Her eyes require several drops a day but they no longer cause her pain.  So that's the story of Hollie.  She will stay in her foster home as a hospice case but at least we can sleep easier knowing this almost 20-year-old dog will have known peace and love before she crosses the bridge.   The Adoption Fee for this dog is N/A 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
Meet Isabel (Izzy). This little gal is looking for her forever home. She is crate trained. Does well on a leash. She can is still timid sometimes, but she didn't have the best start in life. She now just wants to lay around and cuddle. Hasn’t been interested in playing with toys. She is indifferent with her fosters little dogs. Doesn’t bother the cat. She is a cutie and would make a great companion. Izzy would just like a quite place to live out her life and enjoy the simple things in life. Izzy is up to date on vaccines, microchipped, flea treated, dewormed and spayed. If you think you can give this gal the perfect home, please submit an application. All current pets MUST be up to date on vaccines and spayed/neutered unless there is a medical reason. www.pawzandpurrz.org RR335 Please Note: We are making changes to our Foster to Adopt process. Limited resources to follow up on pending adoptions and delays in processing payments is adding to our financial restrictions. Going forward we will collect payment when the dog is transferred to the potential new owner and will be held for an agreed upon trial time. Exceptions or extended trial times will be considered on a case by case basis and will depend upon the need or situation.

Story
Adoption Application: https://www.cognitoforms.com/New2URescues/AdoptionApplication. Dogs will be spayed/neutered through us prior to finalizing any adoption. ********If dog/pup is showing as available it is available. Please do not email asking if it is. Submit application to meet dog if interested - yes an application is required******** Meet Fabio! This handsome Shih Tzu mix is around 3.5 years old and weighs about 16 pounds. Fabio is such a happy-go-lucky guy that loves to play and snuggle with his humans. He seems to definitely be what one would consider a "velcro" dog and loves attention! He does great on his leash walks, and is house broken. Treats are such a great motivation for this very good boy. What we think at this point for Fabio is that he will do best in a home where he can be the center of attention as the only dog. We are not sure how he interacts with dogs, children, or cats. Meeting the whole family residing in the home will be very important to set everyone up for success! Is Fabio the pup of your dreams? Apply today! If you would like to meet this adorable dog an application must be filled out: https://www.cognitoforms.com/New2URescues/AdoptionApplication We are in Rochester, NY, we adopt to people who live in the Rochester area.
