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 Richie

This playful pup is always ready for an adventure, whether it's a brisk walk in the park, a game of fetch in the backyard, or simply exploring new scents on a trail. Richie's joyful spirit is contagious. He loves to play and is always on the lookout for a fun activity. Despite his high energy levels, Richie also has a sweet side. He enjoys cuddling up after a day of play and will happily snuggle with you on the couch. Richie gets along well with other dogs and is always eager to make new friends, both canine and human. Richie is looking for an active family who can keep up with his playful nature. A home with a tall fenced yard would be ideal for him to run and play safely as he can climb low fences He would thrive in an environment where he gets plenty of exercise and mental stimulation. Richie is also a quick learner and would benefit from continued training to keep his smart mind engaged. Richie is in low positive for heartworms and is currently on monthly slow kill treatment. He is up to date on all vaccinations, and has been neutered and chipped. He's ready to join a loving home where he can continue to thrive and bring joy to his new family.
