Joyful Rescues has been rescuing dogs for 20 years from western NY, northern PA and from several other southern high kill states and from Puerto Rico.
- To operate as a no-kill rescue (never euthanizing for space or time served).
- To take in cats, dogs, puppies and kittens in need, within their means (“In need” meaning abandoned/owner surrenders, saved from high kill shelters, strays from animal control officers or removed from puppy mills).
- To provide safe housing, quality food, medical care (including vaccinations, de-worming, flea treatment and spay/neuter) and love to all pets in their care until suitable, responsible and loving, permanent homes can be found through a strict screening process.
- To educate the public on the importance of spaying and neutering which controls pet overpopulation, responsible pet ownership, and the humane treatment of animals.
To see an end to pet overpopulation, kill shelters, puppy mills, and homeless pets as the result of our mission.
To place these animals in the right home for them, meaning they must make the humans happy with their choice so that our animal is happy.
