Jacksonville Animal Services urges residents to help alleviate an overcrowding crisis by fostering pets, highlighting that each foster home opened can save a life.
JACKSONVILLE, Ark. — With local shelters packed far beyond their limits, Jacksonville Animal Services (JAS) is calling on residents to open their doors to foster pets and prevent an overcrowding emergency.
A social media post by JAS urged the community of the need for foster homes “now more than ever.”
The service said its shelters are beyond capacity and out of space to take in animals safely.
“Every single foster home opened quite literally saves a life,” JAS said in the post.
JAS said that fostering can be for as long as needed, from days to weeks, or longer. Support and supplies will also be provided to help out fosters.
For anyone interested in fostering, JAS asks that you message them directly.
