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.

J & J's Featured Dog - Meet Pandora
 Pandora
is an adult adult cocker spaniel, who was heartlessly tossed out
along the side of the road and nearly starved to death. When
our vet called us to help her in May, she weighed only 13 lbs!
Dr Christie Bardnt of Chocowinity Veterinary
Hospital knows we've got a soft spot for cockers so I think that is why she
called us. Pandora was heavy heavy heartworm positive, had sarcoptic mange,
and cataracts but is so very sweet. What could we say but "ABSOLUTELY,
we'll help!" Dr Christie even offered to treat her mange,
heartworm and spay her at no charge!  We named Pandora
om reference to the Magic Box. J & J has been known to work some magic in some of our rescue
animals that everyone else had rejected as too much work, and we
certainly needed some magic now for this sweet darling!
Look
at the difference from the arrival photos in May to current photos
taken in December! She is lovely and still as sweet as
ever. Pandora is healthy now and pretty
much house trained. She can be protective of her food but that is very
understandable as she was starving but we're working on this
too. If you can give Pandora the loving home she deserves,
please complete an adoption
application!

next meeting or event. Please contact Joanne at 252-944-4981 to schedule a
speaker.
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. |

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!
