Joyful Rescues

Founded in 2003 by four passionate women, Joyful Rescues has placed over 19,000 cats and dogs into loving forever homes. Our rescue takes in cats, dogs, puppies and kittens from abandoned/owner surrenders, puppy mills, and high kill shelters.

While awaiting to be adopted, we provide safe housing, quality food, love, and medical treatment (including vaccinations, de-worming, flea treatment and spay/neuter) to all pets in our care. Our cats have their own "cat house" to romp and play or lounge on perches and gaze out the windows. Our dogs have a kennel building (dog house) for puppies and recently received dogs (during their 14 day quarantine period). Once spayed/neutered they come into the human house which has a doggie door open 24/7 to 8 acres of fenced in lawn, woods and even a pond for swimming!
