Joyful Rescues, Inc.

Since our humble beginnings in December 2002, Joyful Rescues has grown into a 501(c)3 non-profit corporate team of volunteer animal lovers reaching out to help homeless dogs, puppies, cats and kittens in need of love, affection and forever homes. We are a no-kill shelter – meaning we never euthanize for space. Our primary goals here at Joyful Rescues are to re-home pets and save them from becoming homeless in the future, educate the public on pet care and spaying/neutering to control the pet overpopulation, to spay/neuter every pet before they leave us and spay/neuter as many pets, belonging to the public, as possible within our means.

Meet Star Bristol

Star was born around February 14, 2017 and weighs about 45 pounds.  We receive a desperate email from her owner. The following is part of the email "I live in a low-income apt and cannot have her. She is good with other dogs and kids as far as I am aware. I am currently sitting outside Olean SPCA who said they have no room for her. Every place I have contacted said they have no room for her.  I don't know what to do because I have no where for her to go."  Space is tight here at JR but we had to help.  We are told Star is good with children of all ages and she ADORES cats!  She has been fine with the other dogs here too.  Star rides well in the car and will stick with you off-leash while you tend to the garden.   She has moderate hair loss on her back, from a flea infestation that is now gone and the fur will grow back and she will be beautiful again.  She does, very much, resemble a Heeler, but she doesn't act line one at all - she is truly delightful.  She does love to play with toys.  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
