It’s time for another Happy Tail! And not just any Happy Tail. Oh no! This is a very special one dear to my heart. We had notification that Peanut’s owner had passed away and family was coming from Indiana and he needed to be gone that day. I went up to get him right away, scrambled to find a good foster, and got him settled. He is the sweetest boy and he stole my heart! Fast forward several months and he is still at his foster 😢. We had 3 previous inquiries and adoption lined up and they all fell through. It broke my heart. But that’s because he was meant to be with Tony, Lora and Hadley. I witnessed pure joy on their faces and on Peanut’s! Look at him smile! (I’m not crying, must be allergies) So please help to make some more Happy Tails by fostering, adopting or donating!!!

A couple weeks ago we gave you an update on Grace, one of the three puppies rescued last March from Whitleyville/North Springs area. Tonight I would like to update you on Faith (now named Rita) who is in a wonderful home and living her best life! Rita gets to spend her days exploring the farm with her 3 K9 companions. She also gets to be around horses, a donkey and sheep. But her favorite thing is spending time with her new human! She’s a beautiful, mellow soul and I am so happy that she ended up being a foster fail! So please foster, adopt, donate so we can give more Happy Tales!!!

Remember the 2 black dogs dumped at Roaring River that FJCAS was able to rescue? Well here is a "Pupdate." At the time of rescue, I had named them Gunner and Ranger because names are important. Names matter so they know they belong. We had a couple of animal lovers in the business community step up to adopt them. They have been to the vet and have neuter appointments. Their new names are Kai (which means "loyal protector"), and Kenji (which means "intelligent little brother"). Those names fit their personalities perfectly. Kenji tested positive for Lyme antibodies, and is on medicine for that, but is currently asymptomatic. Those monthly preventions for fleas and ticks are so important. FJCAS is blessed to have successfully rescued them in some of the coldest weather, and doubly blessed to have 2 wonderful people open their hearts and give them their furever home.

Grace was rescued with her sisters, Hope, and Faith(now Rita) in the Whitleyville/North Springs area last March. The first picture is when I took her to the vet the first time. The next two, are her now in her adopters home. She is healthy and loves to frolic and play with her fur sister. Who wouldn't, when you can come back inside and stretch out in your comfy chair. What a blessing we had fosters to take in Grace and her sisters and a family who was hoping Grace would choose them. Thank you, for choosing to adopt from FJCAS. For more information about fostering and adopting from FJCAS, please message us.

Beautiful Tilly was saved last year. She was abandoned by a creek. Rescuers heard this pup crying many nights, and thought it was a coyote pup. One day they heard her and followed the sound. There she was. Alone and frightened. How coyotes didn't get her is a miracle. Rescuers couldn't keep her, but reached out to FJCAS for help. One of our board members, stepped up to foster this girl, and after we had her vetted and fixed, she was adopted by a wonderful couple who spoil her and love her as she should be. She had a wonderful Christmas, safe in a warm home with dreams of squeaky toys and doggy treats. FJCAS is grateful for our fosters and adopters. You are all a part of our family. We appreciate the updates from our adopters. Please reach out to FJCAS if you would like to open your home and heart to foster or adopt.

A look back at 2024. Remember Memphis? He is on his throne and living large in his furever home. So grateful for fosters and adopters.
Since we don't have the shelter built yet, you are the keys to saving treasures like Memphis, from the streets, coyotes, vehicles, parasites, weather, and illness.
