The event includes opportunities to meet Joyful Rescues

with vegetarian options available for purchase.
Come find a treasure at the basket raffle or the yard sale featuring
kitchen and household items, toys, tools, home and seasonal decor, gently used
or new pet supplies including crates, clothing other accessories and larger

On August 5, tours of Joyful Rescues facility, eight-acre
property and a self-guided pond tour will be held from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.,

Admission to this family-friendly event is FREE and pets on
leash are welcome, as are all former Joyful Rescues alumni. Monetary donations
and donations of leashes, collars, toys and food are also gratefully accepted
along with cash donations for our "Gizzie's KISS IT BETTER Fund" for
the animals we help who need critical medical care. All event proceeds benefit
Joyful Rescues and help us continue to save homeless animals.
Event sponsors this year include Original Field Roast Grain
Meat Company, Dina’s, Tops and Williams Restoration Construction Company.
All adoptable pets are featured on our website site at
www.joyfulrescues.org and on the Joyful
Rescues Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/joyfulrescues. An online
adoption application is available which all adopters (must be 25 years of age)
must complete in order to be considered.
Joyful Rescues is in its fifteen years of operation and
rehomes dogs and cats of all ages from regional shelters, high-kill shelters in
the southern United States, former “puppy mill dogs”, as well as dogs and cats
who are surrendered to the organization from former owners who can no longer
care for them. A tireless group of
volunteers and rescue staff work to match dogs and cats with their “furever
families,” promote spay/neuter programs, and reduce euthanasia rates in
high-kill shelters by transporting adoptable animals to Joyful Rescues.
