We created JCHS in hopes of helping the voiceless in Jasper County, Georgia. Jasper County is a rural town, with an abundance of unaltered pets, with very little community support. Our mission is to not only support our local shelter, with getting the unwanted animals out of our community and into loving homes so euthanizing isn’t an option, but to also educate the community on the importance of spay and neutering their pets. The struggle is real as we have no local veterinarians. We try to help citizens with transport and financial burden with those seeking help. Bringing awareness to everyone about the crisis we face, not only as a rural county, but all counties statewide. Laws MUST change AND quickly as the overpopulation of the unwanted is greater than rescues can handle. We are a 501c3 nonprofit organization. ALL proceeds go towards the medical needs of our shelter animals. Our county is growing by leaps and bounds and only going to continue to grow. Jasper County Animal Shelter (JCAS) will only house 26 dogs and they stay full 90% of the time. Our ultimate goal beyond saving every dog coming into JCAS is to build a facility that will take overflow from JCAS, have a place for adopters to visit where the dogs are less stressed, exercise yards, a medical room for outside veterinarians to come in for procedures such as spay/neuters and vaccines that are convenient and low cost to our community.
