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 Bernie Beagle

Bernie was born around October 15, 2020 and weighs about 30 pounds.  We were told Bernie was one of a few cherished Beagles owned by an elderly man who had a stroke and will not be coming home from the care center.  The man's adult children didn't really care for the Beagles and decided to no longer care for them.  Another rescue took one of the little girl Beagles and she was skin on bone and actually pooping out pebbles - I guess when there is no food you eat whatever fills you up.  We heard that there was another couple of them that needed rescue and we took in this delightful little boy and, thankfully, his condition was not as severe.  Bernie was a little underweight and eating really well.  We can't imagine what the living conditions were to have caused such an odor that we had to crack the windows on the near hour ride back to Joyful.  His two back dew claws were curled into his flesh and he had an impacted anal gland (perhaps some of the odor?) and truly didn't feel he deserved all the love and care he was receiving from us.   We don't feel he has been physically abused, but he surely felt unlovable.  Bernie walks wonderfully on leash!   Well, that was all to change!  Soon he began wagging his tail more and adjusting to his new life.  He ADORES the fenced yard and romping with all the other dogs here!  He does love all of us new humans and someone out there is going to be so very happy when they find this adorable little boy and welcome him into their home!   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
