Rinkus is a four month old Border Collie mix that's bashful, sweet, and is looking for his forever family! Rinkus was found as a stray in the local area and was never reclaimed. He had patches of fur/scars on his ears, most likely from his siblings picking on him. He's very docile and loves to make friends with other dogs. He can be shy/submissive with people but man does his personality flow when he's in a room with a dog. He's part of our large playgroup with dogs of all sizes and breeds and enjoys it. He opened very quickly to Nami, JTAC alumni Bulldog, and couldn't wait to start wrestling and playing with her. Rinkus is a Border Collie so please do your research as the breed is very active and needs a lot of stimulation and are quite smart! His adoption fee is $285, which includes his vaccines, f***l exam, deworming, current heartworm/flea prevention, heartworm test, registered microchip, and neuter

Meet Skitter, a four month old Border Collie pup that is looking for his forever home. Skitter is a big ball of fun and loves to stay active. He enjoys playing with tennis balls and going on lots of walks. He hopes his new family is ready for all the adventures and trips he desires. As a Border Collie, he's an energetic and active breed that needs lots of mental and physical stimulation. Please do your research! Skitter does great with other dogs and loves to wrestle and chase each other around the play yard. He would love another canine companion at home to keep him company. Skitter has a unique smoke coat with a white tip tail! He's a very handsome boy. His adoption fee is $285, which includes his vaccines, f***l exam, deworming, current heartworm/flea prevention, heartworm test, registered microchip, and neuter

Introducing Tria, a four month old Border Collie mix looking for a place to call her own. Tria was found as a stray with her siblings in the local area. Unsure how a group of four month olds already found themselves in the shelter system is puzzling but we're ready to help them find their forever homes. Tria is the sweet and needy girl. She loves to be your side and will whimper for attention and pets. She does well with other dogs and is in a large playgroup of all kinds of breeds and sizes. She loves tennis balls and is learning the hang of playing fetch and returning. She also loves squeaker toys and favored this cute burrito plush! Her adoption fee is $285, which includes her vaccines, f***l exam, deworming, current flea prevention, registered microchip, and spay

Six weeks. Six weeks of having no visitors or adoption interest. Monte is one of our goofiest boy and is solid! He loves to soak in all your attention and hopes to find a family soon to start making memories with. Please SHARE!

Everybody say hey Monte!!!

Monte is a 60 pound, one year old male pitbull who came to us as a scared stray who just wanted nothing but love from the start with us. Monte came in shy and would curl away from loud stimuli but with extra treats and some TLC he came around and showed us his true personality, which is full of s***k! This boy loves to play, play, play! Monte is known around here for his adorable play bow that he shows to friends of all species... human and dogs! Monte loves treats and will delicately take them from your hands. We absolutely love his silly antics and his adorable ears that have a mind of their own. His adoption fee is $235, which includes his vaccines, f***l exam, deworming, current heartworm/flea prevention, heartworm test, registered microchip, and neuter.

Gato has been with us for a little over 6+ weeks and has had little to no visitors as well. He's our big, JTAC polar bear and is quite the character. PLEASE SHARE

Introducing Gato! Our biggest cat we have!

Just kidding... Gato is a 75 pound Lab/Husky mix that still has some room to fill out. Gato is approximately 1 years old so he could benefit from some training and a large backyard to burn off energy in. Gato is full of silly antics that shine through in his charming personality. He loves going for walks and wrestling with friends. Gato is dog friendly but enjoys wrestling with his buddies so much that we are looking for a home without cats or young kids at this time (kids 5+ okay). His adoption fee is $235, which includes his vaccines, f***l exam, deworming, current heartworm/flea prevention, heartworm test, registered microchip, and neuter

Willow has been with us for over 2 1/2 months with little to no interest! Please SHARE! Willow is a staff favorite and loves people. She's a big, gentle soul

Willow is a five year old Rhodesian Ridgeback/Pittie mix next up for adoption. She was found in a residential neighborhood and surprisingly, no one came looking for her. You can tell she was previously owned and taken care of as she was clean, well fed, and has great manners. But unfortunately, no tags, microchip, or any missing report, we were stumped and unable to locate an owner. Willow is dog friendly and enjoys the company of others that will respect her space. She loves treats and likes to earn her treats. She enjoys going on lots of walks and sitting in the field, enjoying the warm sun. Her adoption fee is $235, which includes her vaccines, f***l exam, deworming, current heartworm/flea prevention, heartworm test, registered microchip, and spay

Milo is a five year old cat that was brought to us after the unfortunate death of his owner. Milo is a quiet boy that loves to soak in all the attention and warmth a person can give. You can tell he's truly grateful and loves his affection. Milo's favorite thing in the world is blankets and loves to burrow underneath them in his kitty kasa. Although he appears to be a bashful boy, he happily comes out of his bed to greet you with a soft meow and a headbutt. Milo does great with other cats and would love to have some friends at home to spend time with. Milo doesn't have too many needs or wants. He just needs a soft blanket and your lap to snuggle up on.

Sauage is a twelve week old kitten that loves everyone he meets. He arrived to JTAC as an itty bitty kitten weeks ago and then was placed in a loving foster home, where he could grow up and flourish. Sausage loves to play and chase things like cotton balls and wand toys. He loves to lick his plate clean when wet food is served. He does great with other cats and kids so a home with either would be great! He often hangs out in the front office condo, where he greets visitors and let's out a little hello "meow". His adoption fee is $190, and includes his age appropriate vaccines, registered microchip, f***l exam, deworming, FeLV test, current flea prevention, and neuter. He is already fixed!

Tikka has been with us for a month now and has had a handful of visitors, who say nothing but good things about her! Sadly, no one has scooped her up. She's your typical Chihuahua and loves attention! Please SHARE so we can find her forever family!

Tikka is a one year old Chihuahua that is a ball of energy and full of stamina. She's about ten pounds with long legs and perky ears. Tikka came to JTAC as a stray and unfortunately, no one came for her. She loves to hang out with her playgroup during the day, where they wrestle one another and keep watch outside. She would love to have another canine buddy in the home. Tikka likes to be on alert and will greet you with her "chihuahua" bark and dance on her tippy toes. Her adoption fee is $235, which includes her vaccines, f***l exam, deworming, current heartworm/flea prevention, heartworm test, registered microchip, and spay

Introducing Cher, a three year old beautiful long haired cat that cannot wait to find her forever home. We all fell in love at the sight of beautiful Cher. We love her long, soft coat, her bright green eyes, and her gentle personality. Cher loves to be brushed and enjoys rubbing her head against your hands for more gentle pets. She does well with other cats but mostly keeps to herself and is pretty independent. Cher loves wet food and comes out of her kitty kasa pretty quickly when she sees it coming. Between attention, pets, and wet food, she can't decide what's her favorite! Her adoption fee is $140, and includes her vaccines, f***l exam, deworming, registered microchip, FIV/FeLV test, current on flea preventive, and spay.

We know what you're thinking....Is that Lopez? Didn't he already get adopted? Yes, yes he did!

Meet Isaac, possibly Lopez's long lost twin brother.... Isaac is a three year old wild boy who found his way to JTAC as a stray. We all had to do a double take as he looks exactly like Lopez... same colored eyes, white fur, and grey patch on his head. Quite freaky! He also has the same wild boy personality, always running around, antagonizing his fellow friends, wrestling, and being a bundle of chaos. Isaac loves to wrestle his friends and he knows who he can and cannot push around. He's quite fast and can quickly make his way to one side of the room to the other or climb up the cat tree. He loves batting wand toys and loves to catch the feathers in his teeth. He's quite the character and promises to leave an impression on you! His adoption fee is $140, and includes his vaccines, registered microchip, f***l exam, deworming, FIV/FeLV test, current flea prevention, and neuter.

Jit is a two year old boy that is looking for his last forever home. Jit was originally from another animal control, where he was adopted. He was brought in by a citizen that had seen him in the neighborhood for quite some time. We were reluctant to find a microchip and when we traced it, the adopter had rehomed him to someone else. Jit waited out his stray hold and is now to start the adoption process all over again. Jit does well with other cats and doesn't mind their company. He mostly keeps to himself but wouldn't mind a mellow friend like himself. Jit is a large boy and is quite the cuddle bug. He reminds us all of a sleek panther with his deep, black fur and bright yellow eyes. His little teeth/fangs like to peek out from under his lip at time and that's our favorite! How cute! His adoption fee is $65, and includes his vaccines, registered microchip, f***l exam, deworming, FIV/FeLV test, and current flea prevention. He is already fixed!

Meet sweet, Petrie, an adorable three month old kitten ready to fly the coop and find his forever home. Petrie enjoys spending the day with his feline buddies, whether it be wrestling one another or napping together in one big kitten ball. Petrie has no problem crawling right up to you and demand snuggles. He loves to be held up to your chest and will stretch his little paws out by your shoulders for hugs. He loves wet food and is always one of the first ones to the bowl to lick it clean. We love our sweet boy and you will too! His adoption fee is $190, and includes his vaccines, registered microchip, f***l exam, deworming, FeLV test, current flea prevention, and neuter. He is already fixed!

Ducky is ready to find her Spike and became the bestest of friends

Ducky is a three month old Tabico (Calico/Tabby) kitten ready to find her forever home. Ducky has been patiently waiting for her time to come and cannot wait to start meeting new faces. She does great with other cats and kids! She would love to have some sort of companion at home to make memories with. She loves climbing and racing around the room. She would love a cat tree to call her own so she can perch at the top or snooze away in one of the cubbies. She can be a sassy girl at times (like all Calicos!) but promises it's all in good fun. Her adoption fee is $190, and includes her age appropriate vaccines, f***l exam, deworming, registered microchip, FeLV test, current on flea preventive, and spay. She is already fixed!

Do you have any extra tree stars to share? Littlefoot will happily become your forever friend if you do! Littlefoot is a ten week old kitten that was brought in as a stray. He's quite the character! Littlefoot loves to run, hide, and pounce on his feline buddies. He even tries to tackle the large adults in our room. Littlefoot would benefit from having a feline friend at home to keep him company and zoom about with. He loves to chase feathers and jumps high for the tiny, bouncy balls. He's a cute boy that will fall right into your arms to snooze away after he's done wrestling for the day. His adoption fee is $190, and includes his vaccines, registered microchip, f***l exam, deworming, FeLV test, current flea prevention, and neuter. He is already fixed!

SHARPTOOTH!
Sharptooth is a ten week old kitten that was brought into JTAC as he was limping. He was checked out by our vet and nothing was too concerning so he was placed on cage rest. Now this boy is a ball of energy and is cleared to find a home! Sharptooth is a lot of fun and is quite the needy boy! Every morning, you can hear his little meow from his kennel, begging for attention! During free play, he zooms around the room and tackles everything in his sight. He even pounces on the big boys! He loves to flip, roll, and zoom! If you are looking for a bit of kitty chaos, Sharptooth is your boy! His adoption fee is $190, and includes his vaccines, registered microchip, f***l exam, deworming, FeLV test, current flea prevention, and neuter. He is already fixed!

DONATIONS NEEDED!

We have had an influx of matted dogs and cats come through our facility and we are in need of some additional supplies! We have attached our current Amazon Wishlist for easy ordering and delivery. Thank you so much! Click the link to be directed to our wishlist https://a.co/9HQulTj

Side note: please do your research before getting that cute fluffy dog/cat. They require a lot of work and attention like brushing and professional grooming on a regular basis to avoid tangles and mats. We see it too often sadly and can be quite painful if left unattended for too long.

ADOPTED!!

Meet Idgie! Idgie came to JTAC as a stray that was "abandoned" on the side of the road in a small crate. Things weren't adding up and we were contacted by her true owner that stated she gave her away to the "finder" but either way, Idgie's ready to leave that behind and start a new chapter with a loyal family. Idgie does great with other dogs and loves to play. We love her unique unique look! Idgie is about a year old and is a Dachshund/large breed mix... We hope her future family does a DNA test because she would be a fun one! Idg has tiny little legs, weighs about thirty pounds, and has goofy, floppy ears! She loves toys and loves walks even more so lots of neighborhood patrols around the block for Idg! Her adoption fee is $235, which includes her vaccines, f***l exam, deworming, current heartworm/flea prevention, heartworm test, registered microchip, and spay
