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 Sugar Boo

  Sugar Boo, a 2 year old 50lb Staffordshire Bull Terrier Brindle female, rescued from the streets when she luckily found herself lost outside where I work. Sugar Boo does fine with our 27lb dog and the 4 cats that live here. Since then, Sugar Boo has enjoyed quite a few road trips to the dog park and to visit friends around town but she is still afraid in new situations and needs a little reassurance when experiencing new sounds, new dogs and new people. She also has met the nephew of the family who is 6 years old as well as his 4 siblings. She loves a good game of fetch to anyone willing to throw her stuffie around. Sugar Boo has learned a few commands like sit and is learning how to build confidence through reassurance and socialization. An ideal home for Sugar Boo is people that will continue to show her the ways of the world, that all people are not bad and to continue to teach her that they all have fingers to scratch her behind the ear or give out belly rubs and treats. She will need a home that will allow her to snuggle under the covers, show her adventure, and continue to train her with positivity, treats and sugars. Friends of Jackson County Animal Shelter Pets (FJCASP) is a foster-based rescue for dogs and cats. All pets are in a home environment cared for by a foster person who provides temporary care until the pet can be placed in a permanent home.
