Areas J and J's Homeless Pet Rescue serves

We are the only non-profit 501c3 rescue in Beaufort County, NC that houses animals for adoption. We do not have a shelter facility but are working towards this goal. We have foster homes for our animals. Animals from Beaufort and surrounding counties are rescued from animal control facilities, vetted including spay/neuter, and made ready for adoption. We have developed a network of rescues from South Carolina to as far North as New Hampshire. The goal is to rescue and move as many animals as possible to the safety of reputable rescues so they can find their new homes. At the same time we are trying to educate the public to spay and neuter their pets to help stop the overwhelming pet population in the area.

Support adoption and rescue. Why go to a dog breeder, cat breeder or pet store to buy a dog or buy a cat when you can adopt?

Why should you adopt?

Dog adoption and cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog or adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life.

What is the difference between adopting a dog, adopting a cat, adopting a kitten or adopting a puppy versus getting dogs for sale, cats for sale, puppies for sale or kittens for sale from a dog breeder or a cat breeder?

When someone is breeding puppies or breeding kittens, they are creating new dogs and cats who need homes. Some people are interested in a very specific breed of dog, cat, puppy or kitten and they think the only way to find that specific breed is to buy a dog for sale or buy a cat for sale from a puppy breeder or a kitten breeder. Yet animal shelters are filled with dogs and cats who must find homes.

So rather than buying a dog or puppy for sale from a dog breeder or buying a cat or kitten for sale from a cat breeder, we encourage people to adopt a dog, adopt a cat, adopt a puppy or adopt a kitten at their local animal shelter, SPCA, humane society or pet rescue group.
