Bear was rescued from a Chapel
Hill, NC animal shelter in October 2007. He is
approximately 3-4 years old and ADORES people.
He initially was very skinny but is now about 80-85
lbs, the proper weight for a purebred German Shepherd.
He has been treated for heartworms and is now on
prevention. Bear is now neutered, healthy and ready
for his forever home.

 If
you see a pet you are interested in please complete
our Online
Adoption Application or call Jim at 252-944-4969
and arrange a time to visit most evenings 6-8 pm and
weekends. The adoption fee for a dog is $150 which
includes spay/neuter and microchipping. The adoption
fee for a fully vetted cat is $100. With each adoption
comes a free vet exam and fecal within 48 hours at Tar
River Animal Hospital or Chocowinity
Veterinary Hospital.
As
always, we need dog food, blankets, everything and
anything. Someone recently donated used comforters and
towels and are greatly appreciated. Someone else has
been sending us coupons for dog supplies. Your
generous donations help so much with the care of our
rescued animals. Your donations which help defer the
costs of medical care can be made through PayPal to
jamesthompson@earthlink.net or checks made out to J
and J's Homeless Pet Rescue at the address below.
Transport Volunteers Needed
|
 J
and J needs your help! Please call and get on the list
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 who are willing to help with this
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.
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.
 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.
Low Cost Spay/Neuter Clinic
|
Beaufort
County, and the surrounding counties, needs a low cost
spay/neuter
clinic. 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.
