My Dear Darla

KONA is practicing her most pathetic faces to pull at the heart strings of everyone, of someone, of anyone who is good, so she doesn’t have to go back to the shelter. 😢
Today was her first day alone at my place while I went to work. She was beyond the best house guest! No potty accidents, she didn’t mess with a thing and she’s as quiet as a mouse. This girl is just looking for a loving 🥰 place to lay her head. I’m temporarily fostering her for a few days through Jax ACPS. If you are interested in adopting or taking over her fostering please PM me or email [email protected] This girl is really struggling at the shelter. It’s just too much stress for her. At the shelter she carries her metal food bowl in her mouth for some sort of comfort 💔 PLEASE SHARE KONA 🙏🏻 7 years old, 45lbs, potty trained, good leash walker, loves napping and car rides. Spayed, microchipped, and up to date on shots.
Kona thanks you in advance 🌺

King got his Secret Santa gifts! But the gift he truly wants this Christmas is a home to call his own 🏠 🎄♥️ King is about 3 years old and full of goofiness. He is also available for Silent Night! You can give him a temporary foster home for the holidays so he doesn’t have to spend Christmas in the shelter. Jax ACPS 2020 Forest St 32204

🚨 Help Urgently Needed! 🚨

ACPS is full-we are currently caring for 264 dogs and 144 cats. We are thankful to everyone in the community that has adopted and fostered in the last week and a half! You made a difference but there are still many animals in need.

Here’s how you can help!

Adopt or Foster: We need the most help with dogs over 45 pounds. Stop by the shelter and we can find a great match for you. Adoptions are free all until Sunday, August 15th.

Donate: We can always use soft treat like pupperoni, velveeta style cheese, kitten food, Vienna sausages and hot dogs. Support our partners Friends of Jacksonville Animals. They provide advanced medical care for ACPS and support pet owners in our community.

Help Lost Dogs Reunite with their Families: Before bringing a lost dog to the shelter try to reunite them with their owner. Did you know that most lost dogs are found less than a mile away from home?

Ask for help: If you need help please ask us. We want to keep pets with their families and may be able to direct you to resources that can do just that.

The animal loving community of Jacksonville is amazing and we know we can do this! Thank you for your support!

Visit ACPS in person at 2020 Forest St.
Tuesday-Friday 12:00-7:00

I found my forever family! My foster mama adopted me and now I have a real fur brother too! I’m happy as a clam! Thank you all for sharing my posts and sending me good thoughts & prayers along the way! Though I had a rough start at life, you’ve shown me people are good. Now back to chasing lizards!😌 ♥️🐾 ~ Darla
