Johnston County Animal Protection League
Spaying and Neutering is one of the core principals of animal welfare upon which JCAPL stands. We spay and neuter all the cats and dogs that come through our organization, and provide outreach services to provide these surgeries to other animals in need.
JCAPL is looking for a volunteer who has Grant Writing experience to assist in some grant applications and associated endeavors. Please visit our website at www.jcapl.org and complete a volunteer application, or email webmaster@jcapl.org and let us know you are interested.

This year, we are offering additional services to enhance your pup’s health and beauty, and help raise money for JCAPL programs. Bring your dogs for a wash, nail trim, ear cleaning, and expression of anal glands. * Make sure to bring a proof of rabies vaccine for each pooch, as this is a requirement to participate.

For Immediate Release:
June 16, 2011 – Clayton, North Carolina
The Johnston County Animal Protection League (JCAPL) accepted a generous donation from Clayton Animal Hospital (CAH) this past week. Throughout May 2011, CAH held a Rabies Clinic during which these vaccines cost only $6, with every penny being donated to the JCAPL.
A check for $3,200 was presented by CAH to JCAPL officers Becky Hochman and Charissa Wilson. During the May clinic, Clayton Animal Hospital vaccinated over 530 cats and dogs against the Rabies virus.
JCAPL President, Ulli Mattern, states,
We feel very honored by Clayton Animal Hospital’s generous gesture of support and their gift to JCAPL, especially since many pets benefitted from this opportunity to receive their required Rabies vaccinations. In this community spirit, we are proud to partner with Clayton Animal Hospital towards improving the lives of animals in Johnston County.
JCAPL will use this donation to provide food and supplies to fosters, obtain medical care for dogs and cats already in the program, and booster community education programs focused on spays and neuters. Some animals inducted into the program need minimal veterinary care to be ready for adoption, while others need extensive treatments or surgery.
A recent adopter said,
I adopted my dog from JCAPL. He was a stray and in bad shape when they found him. He had hookworms, heartworms, a skin infection, teeth that needed to be extracted, and to be neutered. I LOVE my baby so much!! And I never would have been able to afford all of that if I would have been the one to find him on the road.” “JCAPL provided all his treatments and surgeries before he was available for adoption.
Each $1 donated to JCAPL provides about $1.75 in food, medical care, and supplies for animals in the JCAPL foster program. This is made possible by working without the overhead of a facility, and by partnering with local veterinarian hospitals.
Donations can be made online via the link below or directly to the JCAPL PayPal account, paypal_account@jcapl.org.
