About J&J's
Homeless Pet Rescue
J and J's
Homeless Pet Rescue is a non-profit organization and
now has its 501(c)3 tax exempt status. We depend solely on public donations and
adoption fees for financial survival. No contribution is too small, and your
donations are tax-deductible! We have no paid employees. Contributions, fund
raising and our own personal out-of-pocket money is how we take care of all the
animals.
We
are the only non-profit rescue in Beaufort County that currently houses animals
for adoption. All the animals in our care receive everything they need as far
as medical care, food, shelter, flea and tick prevention and heartworm prevention.

Special
Microchip Project
We'd like nothing better than for all lost pets to make
it safely home – and a significant step toward that goal is the ability to
implant and detect microchips in all pets in our system. To that effect J
and J's Homeless Pet Rescue has started a program through PetPoint data base
management to microchip animals prior to adoption. This will be accomplished
through 24PetWatch. This program is now up and running. Every animal adopted
from J and J's Homeless Pet Rescue now also has a 30 day gift of Pet Health
Insurance through Shelter Care included with every adoption. We think this
is a wonderful gift to our new adoptive families. |
Transport
Volunteers NEEDED!
J and J needs your help! Please let us know you'd be willing to help
transport animals from shelters to safety of a rescue or to their
new adoptive home. J and J has been expanding its network of rescues
& desperately needs volunteers to help with life saving
transport.
Please call or email
us to learn more about how you can help. Recently a volunteer
for J and J's rescued an English Cocker Spaniel from a shelter in
South Carolina. She now lives the good life here thanks to
transporters with huge hearts. |

A
Special Thank You To PilotsN Paws * All Our Rescue Partners!
Our volunteers at J and J's Homeless Pet Rescue have partnered with northern
rescues and have successfully moved over 100 needy animals to safety in
2009. Several Pilots from PilotsNPaws have helped us in our effort to save
lives. We want to thank all of our rescue partners and pilots who have
helped us so tremendously this year!
J
& J's Building Fund For Our Future Sanctuary
We
are looking for a suitable piece of property to be donated on which
to build our rescue facility.  If you know of a space that would be
just right please contact us. J and J's is already accepting
donations for our building fund. Beaufort County, NC needs a rescue
sanctuary for homeless unwanted pets. This will be a no kill
facility licensed by the State of North Carolina. We would love to
be able to house over 100 animals in this new facility. As much as
we would like to save all the homeless unwanted pets, with over
3,000 a year going through the local shelter, there is no way to
save them all. We are looking forward to the day that we can have a
rescue sanctuary where we can house and care for many more unwanted
homeless pets. This is a huge undertaking and will require a lot of
fund raising and support from the Beaufort County community. With
your help J and J's can make this dream come true.
3000 animals are euthanized each year just in
Beaufort County because of lack of education and funding for
spay/neuter. Another goal of J and J's is to educate and provide
funding to help facilitate spay/neuter. The plan for the rescue
sanctuary includes a spay/neuter clinic. It is another huge project
but again with your help can be made possible.
WOW...A Thousand Face Kisses and Tail
Wags!
