Labrador Retriever - Jethro Duplin - Large - Young - Male - Dog
Andrea is my Angel !!!
Jethro was born about January 2, 2012 and weighs 65 lbs. Somehow Jethro landed his butt in a high kill pound in NC and was a day away from seeing the inside of a mass gassing chamber when Joyful Rescues received an e mail from Andrea who lived in our area but was visiting family in FL. Andrea said she was looking for an act of kindness and since she was driving back home in a few days could anything be arranged so that she could pick up a dog or two, on the way, and save them from a sure death. What a wonderful idea! We are thankful for what she did and most of all Jethro was thankful. He didn't have a chance down there because he was just another large, black, male dog that entered with all the staff knowing his destiny as they welcomed him in the shelter. But, they didn't figure on Andrea! He is a very sweet dog, did great on the long trip North, not sure about our temperatures, but we're just happy he can feel temperature or anything else for that matter. Sure, he may not be highly adoptable because of his looks, but he is a wonderful guy and is welcome to stay here as long as he needs until that one person comes along and chooses him for his personality and not because he is the prettiest. He's very good with the other dogs.
The Adoption Fee for this dog is $250.00.
Adoptions fees vary based on adoptability. In general our fees include spay/neuter, all age appropriate vaccines, Home Again micro-chipping & registration, worming & flea control - a 'complete' pet.
Joyful Rescues has no funding except for our adoption fees and miscellaneous donations. Pet care and vet bills are expensive - you must be ready to take on this financial (as well as emotional) responsibility.
YOU MUST BE AT LEAST 25 YEARS OF AGE TO ADOPT A DOG FROM JOYFUL RESCUES
We keep our pet list as up-to-date as possible. As soon as a pet is adopted, it is removed from the list. If a pet is still showing, it is still available for adoption.
Each Joyful Rescues pet has been thrown away at least once. Pets are not disposable just because your life has changed. Before you decide to bring a pet into your home, make absolutely sure that it will be a lifetime commitment. When our pets leave us we want them to go to their forever homes. By adopting a pet you are not only helping the pet you adopt, but also others in or needing to come into rescue.
Because these pets are in our homes, for our personal safety before visiting, you must fill out the application on-line at www.joyfulrescues.org (you MUST provide references including a vet reference along with phone numbers) or for further questions you can e-mail [email removed]
