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 Riley

Riley was born about January 7, 2023 and will fill out to about 65 lbs.  She is on the small side for a GSD and does appear pure bred, but there is no way to know for sure.  She has only been with us for a couple of weeks and has been really wonderful with all the other dogs large and small.  Somehow this lovely girl ended up at Rochester Animal Services (City of Rochester/RAS) and due to her emaciated condition and the incredibly awful condition of her coat along with initial shyness the shelter team decided she should go into rescue for a while to recoup from whatever hell'ish situation she was living in and, of course, it appears she has had puppies in the not so distant past.  She was wonderful for her first bath and just stood still.  It seemed she realized how much it was needed.  She rides well in the car, is fine about crates and has shown she is house trained.  We like to mention to be prepared for some work in this area due to all these changes.  We have a dog door here so if there is not one in her next home Riley and her new humans will need to figure out clues.  Riley know "sit" and she shakes with her right paw.  Riley was relinquished to the city shelter by her owners.  In their notes they said she's very good on leash, yet we feel she pulls enough to mention here.  We are told she was great with children as young as 5, but because they said her worst quality was that she was shy we feel if there are young people in the home they should at least be in their teens just for her comfort level.  They did say her favorite toy is one that squeaks, and her best quality is that she is very lovable.  We are unsure of cats as they stated she will chase one if she sees it outside.  it seems she has not lived with any.  All in all she is just a typical GSD looking for a new home which she hopes will give her a lifetime of love. 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
