Story
Hello my name is Dakota. I am a one year old shiba inu. I am up-to-date on my shots, neutered and microchipped. Recently my loving owners have passed. I am looking for a new forever home. I have lived with another dog and cats , but wouldn't be recommended with smaller animals. I enjoy Frisbee and chasing squirrels and birds from my yard. I know basic commands and am working on consistency. I enjoy children and attention. I am still very excited to see visitors and am trying to learn to be patient and not jump up.

Story
Jolene was born around June 24, 2022 and weighs about 20-25 pounds.  Jolene came to us from Kentucky with the one hour at a time volunteer transport team and a very kind overnight foster person.  Everyone along the way adored her as we do now! Jolene did have a home in Kentucky with the town drunk and he tossed her out the front door and said he "wanted her gone".  A kind neighbor called her over and kept her until she could get her into the hands of another kind person and then she, tearfully, loaded her in the first transport car to come here to us.  She is very sweet and affectionate and really loves to be carried (good thing she's little) and snuggled with and have her belly rubbed.  Jolene rides well in the car and LOVES to wrestle, play, run, with other dogs and she does need another fun playmate in her next life and a large enough, physically fenced, safe area in which they can release the energy she has.   She is also a very good swimmer.  This is all we know so far and we will be learning as we go!  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 Before you seek to adopt a pet from Joyful Rescues, please read our Pet Adoption page http://www.joyfulrescues.org/pet_adoption.html.

Story
Rex was born around March 31, 2022 and weighs about 50 pounds.  Rex is with us because his humans gained custody of a special needs child and it was decided that finding Rex a new home was in his (Rex's) best interest.  Rex is wonderful with cats and other dogs and is the sweetest boy ever.   Rex is a teensy bit shy at first but within minutes he is a wiggly, adorable, goof, who wants to snuggle and play.  Rex loves car rides and walks nicely on a leash with some pulling at first.  Rex was purchased from a shady pet store which is now out of business.  They sold Rex as a Collie Shepherd mix but we are struggling with that.  We feel he's more of a Beagle mix of some sort.  He is gorgeous black and white along with rusty red markings that reminds of Bernice Mountain Dogs!  Rex is the kind of dog that will hang with you outside, off leash, while you do your chores or are playing with him - once he is adjusted and knows he lives there.    Rex doesn't mind baths and he is enjoying our pond.  Rex is nicely house trained.  Rex was with a family that raised him from a pup with a special needs child, but the child was causing him physical and mental discomfort.  For this reason Rex would truly prefer an adult only home. Please help us find this home for the adorable Rex!   The Adoption Fee for this dog is $500.00 Adoptions fees vary based on adoptability.

Story
Greta was born about March 6, 2023 and will likely top out in the 35 lb. range.  She is as good-humored and happy-go-lucky as they get! She's fantastic with the other dogs, thoroughly enjoying her time running and playing with them. Greta also did splendidly on her two-hour car ride to the main site after her transfer to Joyful Rescues from the City of Buffalo Animal Shelter, which sought assistance from local rescues due to dangerously high overcrowding.  Greta seems to be on the quiet side which we love.  She does fine on leash and has met just a bit older kids and thought they were a lot of fun!  As for breed....she looks like a shrunken, blonde, Shepherd and, perhaps, there is some Husky in there somewhere along with a few other fun mixes.  She couldn't be cuter or a better size!  Greta may be a bit of a diamond in the rough, but without too much effort she will likely become your 'best dog ever'!  Greta has become a very strong swimmer!

Story
Kurtis was born around August 8, 2022, and weighs about 30 pounds. He came to us when his elderly owners could no longer care for him. Though initially timid, he quickly warmed up and is adjusting wonderfully to his foster home.  Kurtis adores other dogs and loves to play. He's also been around cats and seems to enjoy their company. Kurtis's next home should have another playful, confident dog, and if there are children, they should be older.  Kurtis does have some shy tendencies, such as cowering when reaching over his head, but overall, he's a pretty well-adjusted, sweet, happy boy.  Oh, he rides wonderfully in the car too!  The Adoption Fee for this dog is $500.00 Adoptions fees vary based on adoptability.

Story
In Memory of Papa Ouderkirk   'I have always had a huge heart for all animals, but especially cats. We even adopted two cats from Joyful Rescues: Leia and Lucy. Lucy is actually one of the cats that came from a transport, and when I saw how small and weak, she was, as well how she always scarfed down every meal as if it would be her last, I felt terrible for her.  I would like to name this transport “The Papa Ouderkirk Memorial Transport” in memory of my grandfather, who passed away in 2019 due to lung cancer he was a lover of cats as well'. - Christianna Reynolds  Freebie was born around August 04, 2019 and weighs about 20 pounds.  It seems Freebie came from a puppy mill or backyard breeding situation.  She ADORES other dogs and is happy and playful with them.   Freebie wants to love us humans and will walk up to us but runs in fear when we try to touch her.   Freebie has never been aggressive to human touch just extremely fearful.  Freebie must have a secure fenced in yard and another playful well socialized dog in her next home.  It is going to take some work and patience to show Freebie that humans are wonderful but the outcome will be well worth it for you and for Freebie .  Please do some reading on working with mill dogs before applying to adopt Freebie.  Update:  Still no human has touched this girl, but she will come within a few feet of the human she sees the most.  When she gets near I smile, wave, and say her name and she wags her tail, but will run immediately if I move toward her.  I'll keep working on it.  She does use the dog door freely and does come into the TV room with the other dogs and two humans in the evening, but she looks around, plays with another dog and then she is off doing more dog things.  Freebie does shed. The Adoption Fee for this dog is $450.00 Adoptions fees vary based on adoptability.
