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.
