Friends of Jackson County Animal Shelter Pets

Who We Are:A group of volunteers in Jackson County, MS dedicated to the mission of saving animal’s lives at the Jackson County Animal Shelter. We are a 501c3 Non-profit organization incorporated in the state of Mississippi. Mission Statement:• To assist Jackson County Animal Shelter with funds, food, supplies, shelter improvements, fostering and volunteerism.• To assist Jackson County Animal Shelter in securing good, reliable adoptive families for animals through social networking, transport to other states and local adoption events. • To educate the public on the importance of spay and neuter laws, animal protection laws and pet owner responsibility. How You Can Help:We always need responsible foster families; we cannot pull animals from the local shelter unless we have safe, reliable foster homes for them to go to for training, medications, spay and neuter hold and quarantine for transports. We work in conjunction with local and out of state Rescue organizations to save as many animals as possible through this fostering, adoption and transport program.Financially, we need funds for supplies, vet care and medicines, shelter pull fees and subsidizing transports to other states. Future projects include possible upgrades to the shelter to help reduce the spread of disease, increase animal capacity and thereby reduce euthanasia rates. We are also working on how to implement and fund low cost spay and neuter programs, micro-chipping, an adoption sponsorship fund and other life saving ideas.

Meet Tonka

Tonka is a 7 month old 40 pound lab mix. He was brought to the shelter after he had been shot in the face. After fighting infections and still having a bullet lodged in his head he is now ready for someone to show him what love really is. Tonka is shy at first and will need a family to love him and give him time to acclimate. He is kennel and leash trained and is good with dogs. He does think cats are okay toys due to him being a puppy. Tonka is very loving considering how he has suffered at the hands of a cruel human. He will make a wonder companion for any family. Please consider giving Tonka a home for the holidays.      Friends of Jackson County Animal Shelter Pets (FJCASP) is a foster-based rescue for dogs and cats.
