About Us

The Johnston County Animal Protection League is a non-profit, all volunteer organization, dedicated to promoting animal welfare in Johnston County. We focus on advocacy, protection, humane education, and reduction of pet overpopulation through foster/adoption programs, outreach services, and community education and awareness. 
 
We know that our name is a mouthful, and will often refer to ourselves as the J.C.A.P.L. or even simply as ‘Jack Apple’ (from JCAPL).
 
JCAPL rescues, rehabilitates, spays/neuters, fosters, and adopts-out an average of 360 cats and 220 dogs each year.  Our animals are often saved from shelters, found as strays, are removed from homes by authorities, or are surrendered to our organization.  We provide them all the necessities and medical care, as well as a loving home which enables JCAPL to offer well-trained, socialized, and healthy dogs and cats for adoption.
