Johnston County Animal Protection League

Animal rescue in Smithfield, NC

We are the Johnston County Animal Protection League (JCAPL). We are a 501 (c)(3) non profit, founded in 2001.

Our primary function and purpose is animal advocacy and to promote animal welfare, in all its aspects.

We do rescue and adoptions, outreach (providing low cost spay/neuter); and education.

Fax: 919-300-5524, Phone: 919-989-7601, email: help@jcapl.org

We are unpaid volunteers, but we continue to try and fill the void wherever we see the need, and we do it because the need is great and the animals are innocent in all the crimes and abuses against them.

We require an Adoption Application to be completed, an interview with a potential adopter, and sometimes home visits are done and vet references checked when possible. If the potential adopter lives in a rental property, we will need verification from the property owner or management that pets are allowed, how many, and any restrictions (breed, size, etc.). An Adoption Agreement and Medical History form are signed. We require a deposit if the animal is pending a spay or neuter appointment, and monitor follow-up to keep the appointment.
