Story
Thank You DelleBovi Family! Flynn was born about October 4, 2014 and weighs about 22 lbs.  He is as cute as they come and was released from his puppy making days in a puppy mill in West Virginia.  The 'millers' made a call to the humane society and said they no longer needed the services of 29 dogs and would they take them.  The shelter is a kill shelter due to space and could not handle so many dogs and so they asked if we would take them.  How could we not!  So, we squeezed and adjusted and were able to take them all.  Sadly, Flynn has failed two adoptions as after a decent length of time they still could not touch him nor would he stay in the same room as them.  He is wonderful with the other dogs here and is now considered a Joyful Rescues Sanctuary pet.  He can seldom be touched and if he is it is not for long and when we must 'catch' him to be groomed we must use a towel to protect our hands because he will bite.  He does happily live inside the house with the humans who live and work here as long as they are not forcing themselves on him, which we do not unless absolutely necessary such as hair trimming.  It is felt Flynn is living his best life right where he is and is a very happy boy.  From Dr. Rasnake: There is mild pegmentary keratitis which is likely from hair rubbing on the surface of the eye.  This condition may be the result of improper hygiene/grooming.  His future family will need to be diligent to keep hair cut short around his eyes so this does not worsen.  He still can see, but there is some cloudiness.  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.   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
Chief was born around September 22, 2011 and weighs about 8 pounds.  Chief is with us because his human passed away unexpectedly at a very young age. Chief will need another dog in his next home to help him make the transition as easy as possible.  Chief does well with all the other dogs here and we are told he is fine with cats and children.  Chief rides well in the car and walks nicely on a leash.  Chief will also stick with you when you are outside doing chores. You will have some potty training work to do but he has the basics down he just needs routine.  Chief received a much-needed dental on arrival and he has some age-related arthritis that would benefit from a Rimadyl type product from your vet.  He's rather active for a 13-year-old pup and gets around wonderfully!  Chief would like his next home to be his last.  A home that will cherish him for however long he has left and never let him feel heartbreak again.   The Adoption Fee for this dog is $250.00 Adoptions fees vary based on adoptability.

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.

Story
Meet Broc! This sweet little guy came to us as an unclaimed stray. Broc was estimated to be about 6 months old. He looks to be part Shih tzu but has long legs. Whatever his mix, Broc is absolutely adorable. He’s a little shy at first but he does warm up very quick. Broc will need training so his new owner needs the time , energy and patience to dedicate to him. If you are interested in Broc, please fill out our online application or stop in during open hours. Wednesday 6-8pm and Saturday 12-3pm. https://www.lakeshorehumanesociety.org/online-adoption-form

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Dixie do da day is ready to skedaddle out of her foster home and join her forever family. Dixie is an 18-pound, 10-year-old Shih Tzu mix who traveled from Texas in hopes of finding her retirement home. Being an older dog in a shelter in Texas can mean a death sentence, but we know Dixie will be scooped up quickly in WNY.    Dixie takes her retirement very seriously. All she truly wants is to lounge in her bed all day. She will emerge from her bed in order to go outside, or if there is food involved. Dixie loves food. She was definitely spoiled with human food in her previous home. When you are eating, or if she is hungry, Dixie will stare into you soul, with her huge eyes. While she sits and stares at you, she will whine and stomp her front feet at you. You can’t deny her a little taste of what you’re eating. Her eyes won’t let you.    Dixie is fully housebroken and is leash trained. We do expect accidents during her initial transition. She does get along with other dogs but can be slightly food aggressive with other dogs. She won’t snap or bite, but she will growl at them if they get too close to her food when she’s eating. It’s not an issue with people though. Dixie does have a fully fenced in yard in her foster home. She has picked up on the routine quickly. If she needs to go out, once again she will go to the door, bark and stomp her feet. She also asks to go for her daily walk. As soon as she sees the leash, Dixie knows it’s time. Dixie will bark and alert you when she hears noises around your house. Apartment life is probably not ideal for her. She has a loud deep bark for a little girl. Due to her age, a home with older children, 10+, would probably be best. A quiet home where she can just relax. If you think Dixie is the right dog for you, make sure you apply today.  Dixie is spayed, up to date with vaccines, microchipped, flea/worm treated and tested neg. for heartworm.  Her adoption fee is $425Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.May 21, 2024, 10:34 am
