Our Mission:

• 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 our 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 our 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 the pet overpopulation, responsible pet ownership, and the humane treatment of animals.
• To educate the public on the horrors of puppy mills and pet store/internet puppies for sale
• To assist in spaying/neutering pets for low income families, as funds allow, which will aid in population control


Our Vision:

Before we are too old to do this any longer, we would love to see an end to pet overpopulation, kill shelters, puppy mills, and homeless pets as the result of our mission.

VISITS AVAILABLE BY APPT ONLY WITH APPROVED APPLICATION.

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.

The founder and director, Joye Turock, along with her husband Jeff turned their lives and home upside down in forming Joyful Rescues. When you hear the phrase 'gone to the dogs', well that is exactly where the Turock world has gone. Most pets are kept at the primary location (the Turock home & small housing facilities on their property) with the remainder of pets being in loving foster homes. Joyful Rescues is not a shelter where potential adopters can walk through to view pets in cages. For the most part, our pets are not caged, once the initial quarantine time has ended, unless medical or behavioral issues mandate it. Dogs enjoy lounging in the house, roaming the fenced 8 acre doggy paradise and swimming in the large pond. Our cats have their own 'house' where they are free to play, gaze out the windows and lounge wherever they choose.

Joyful Rescues Board of Directors is not paid. Our pets get the best care & treatment we can give here at Joyful Rescues- not to mention tons of love & attention. This truly is a labor of love for all involved.

Joyful Rescues has been more successful than we could have hoped. We've had many successful adoptions with people traveling from all over NY, PA, the East Coast and even as far away as Las Vegas to find the new love (and sometimes loves) of their lives. Past adopters are invited back for our Rescue Reunion each August (see PetFest under Events).

As space allows, we take in relinquished, uncared for, in danger, puppy mill and/or unwanted pets as well as unexpected litters. We do not agree with the discarding of pets for most any reason but we do want these pets to have the best life possible. They cannot do this in a home where they are unwanted. They will be tied outside as lawn ornaments, dumped off somewhere or worse. The pets we take in are for the most part healthy and non-aggressive. We will not take in or adopt out a pet that is aggressive and a potential danger. Upon arrival all animals visit accredited vets for a basic check-up.
