Story
Meet Outkast! At just 1.5 years old and 38lbs, Outkast is a Pitbull Terrier mix with a heart full of love, a big goofy smile, and enough personality to brighten anyone’s day. After spending his early life outdoors and fending for himself, he’s finally learning the joys of indoor life — and loving every cozy minute of it! Outkast is kennel trained, quiet, and an absolute kid magnet. He’s been cat- and chicken-tested and passed with flying colors — completely chill around his furry and feathered friends. He’s also done amazingly well with his canine foster sisters (all girls!), proving he’s a polite and friendly housemate. Outkast can be a little shy around men at first, but a little patience, love, and reassurance goes a long way. When he’s feeling unsure, he’ll wrap himself around your ankles for comfort — the sweetest little boost of confidence you could ask for. And he’s full of personality! He loves to army crawl across the floor, flash his big happy smile, and chat with you in his own hilarious and adorable way. After a “hard day” of being his unemployed, lovable self, he curls up in his dog bed like the true nap champion he is. Outkast will take a little time to warm up, but once he does, he’ll be your best friend for life — loyal, playful, silly, and full of love. Interested in meeting Outkast?

Story
I got Delilah when she was about 6 months old from an animal shelter in Jacksonville FL. I’ve had her for almost 10 years now. My wife and I want to find a loving home for her. I love her with all my heart. She has never been aggressive towards a human in her life but is very aggressive towards cats and dogs she doesn’t know. She has never truly been around small children either. She is slightly anxious but as she has gotten older this has mellowed out. She loves to lay in the sun and to shallow holes to lay in, in the backyard. She has a very sweet demeanor towards people and is obedient. You can leave a plate of food on the table and every bit of it will still be there when you return. She is also a free feeder and has never been over or underweight. Overall a very low maintenance dog but she must strictly be an only dog.

Story
Meet Cornbread! Cornbread is a lovable 2-year-old Golden Lab, Husky, and Shar-Pei mix weighing in at 55 pounds. He’s a total ball of energy and affection, with a voice that loves to be heard! Cornbread is crate-trained, though he’d much rather be with his favorite human. He’s a great car companion and walks nicely on a leash. While he gets along with both cats and dogs, he does enjoy a rough-and-tumble play session. His one quirk? He’s very vocal when it comes to guarding his food. Although Cornbread doesn’t live with kids, we think he’d do well in a family setting. He'll thrive with an owner who understands his Husky spirit and knows how to handle his talkative personality.

Story
Millie was picked up as a stray and had been at a local overcrowded shelter for three months. She is a 55 pound German shorthaired pointer mix which makes her have a unique appearance and lively personality. Millie is a larger dog with a sleek, muscular build typical of Pointers. She has a short, shiny coat that is mostly white with black patches. Her expressive brown eyes and floppy ears give her an endearing and approachable look. Millie is known for her playful and energetic nature. She loves to run and play. One of Millie’s most notable traits is her impressive fence-climbing ability. This talent first became apparent when she came to her foster home. Curious about the world beyond her yard, Millie will climb over the fence to explore the neighborhood. Her escapades led to many amusing incidents, such as surprising the neighbors by appearing in their yards. Millie will require a 6 foot fence to manage her adventurous spirit. Millie's daily routine includes morning runs, playtime at the dog park, and engaging activities like puzzle toys and obedience training. Despite her adventurous nature, Millie is well-behaved at home. She enjoys lounging in her favorite spot by the window, watching the world go by, and greeting visitors with enthusiastic tail wags. Millie is low heartworm positive and is on slow kill monthly prevention. Friends of Jackson County Animal Shelter Pets (FJCASP) is a foster-based rescue for dogs and cats.

Story
I got Luna when she was 4 months old, at jaskson county animal shelter. She has been with me for 2 years. She is a young energetic, very curious, loving girl. Who loves to run, chew up some sticks. She won’t eat them she just loves to chewing on them and spiting it out. She will always be excited your home, won’t give you a moment to yourself she will follow you everywhere you go. She does have a history with two dog fights, there were two other dogs involved. Her and another dog was attacking the other dog. She has a confident personality. I feel like she needs to be in a self home. She hasn’t been good with other dogs since those fights. They were about a year ago. I don’t know how to teach her that is not correct behavior. I don’t have enough income to get her a home for her and I. She is no longer welcome at my moms.
