Fosters are special people and families who care for needy pets until they find their forever homes. JCAPL rescues, rehabilitates, spays/neuters, fosters, and adopts-out over 350 cats and 250 dogs each year. Without a shelter, fosters are the foundation of our organization; JCAPL would not be able to operate without them.

"My name is Coffee. I am beautiful, dark brown, neutered Lab mix puppy. JCAPL rescued me from a local shelter. While I was there, I had surgery to repair my Cherry Eye, which as you can see did NOT work. The great vets at Clayton Animal Hospital can repair my eye but JCAPL needs some help raising the funds for the surgery. Can you help me? Once my eye is all better, I can be on my way to finding my furever home! Please help if you can and share me with your friends. You never know who might be able to donate a little something to help me. Donations can be made at Clayton Animal Hospital or they can also be mailed to JCAPL, P.O. Box 607, Smithfield, NC 27577. You can also give donations to our volunteers at any adoption event. JCAPL will gladly give you a donation receipt."
