Our Pet of the Month is Beaula
Beaula, our English Bulldog mix desperately needs a home. She has been with us for quite some time now and SHE IS NOT DOING WELL IN SHELTER CONDITIONS . . . She wants to just run and run and even though she has exercise for 20 minutes several times daily she seems very agitated with being in her kennel.
Her relationship with other dogs is unclear because she seems aggravated by some dogs at the shelter but ignores others. This may be due to the stress of being at the shelter but, from her personality, we think she would do better as the only pet: she craves attention, thinks she’s a lap dog, and seems jealous if other dogs get attention. She loves water.
BUT IT IS WHEN SHE INTERACTS WITH PEOPLE THAT WE GET TO SEE WHAT WE THINK IS THE REAL BEAULA—GOOFY, CLOWNISH, AND OFTEN HILARIOUS! So, if you need a little more laughter in your life--and let's face it, who doesn't?--why not let Beaula be the source!
We do not know a lot about Beaula prior to her time with us because she was found wandering in a Northside neighborhood and we never could find her owner. Beulah is spayed, up to date on her shots and micro chipped.
To qualify to adopt Beaula you must live in the Jacksonville area, have a fenced yard and be able to provide PRN with a vet reference. No exceptions. If you can give Beaula the home she deserves please contact Pet Rescue North!
YOU MUST HAVE A FENCED YARD TO ADOPT FROM PET RESCUE NORTH.
Please contact us at prnorth@yahoo.com to request an application, and one will be emailed to you.

Who We Are
Pet Rescue North is a non-profit, no-kill animal shelter. Pet Rescue North, Inc. opened their doors in 1992 to abandoned, abused, and starving animals. Pet Rescue North exists through donations — money, food, and any other shelter supplies. All are gratefully appreciated. The ultimate goal is to place all our animals in forever homes. When animals come into Pet Rescue North they are examined by our veterinarian. All animals are spayed or neutered. They are brought up-to-date on all their vaccinations. They are tested for heartworms, and if they are positive, treatment is provided. Our goal is to never release a sick or injured animal.
Adopting a Friend
You may request an application to be sent to you by emailing us at prnorth@yahoo.com.
An ADOPTION FEE of $110.00 will be charged to cover medical expenses while the animals are under Pet Rescue North’s care. This fee will cover the following medical treatment: spaying or neutering (ALL ANIMALS MUST BE SPAYED OR NEUTERED — THERE WILL BE NO EXCEPTIONS!!!); heartworm check; one DHLPP-CV shot; initial treatment of heartworm preventative program; initial treatment of flea and tick preventative program; fecal exam to check for hookworms, roundworms or whipworms (if positive, the animal will be wormed). All medical care provided shall be performed ONLY by the veterinarians servicing the shelter.
Appointments for meeting our animals and for adoptions must be made by calling Peggy at 904-477-1000. ** NO CALLS WILL BE TAKEN OR RETURNED AFTER 8:00 P.M.**
A few of the general guidelines that make up the Pet Rescue North (PRN) Adoption Policy are provided below. While, as they say, there is an exception to every rule, these guidelines are standard for no-kill shelters and are used for deciding suitability of a potential adopter:
*ALL ADOPTION APPLICANTS MUST BE INTERVIEWED AND APPROVED.* The interview questions are not intended to be insulting or seem unfeeling. We simply must make sure our animals will never again be abandoned, mistreated, or neglected!
PRN reserves the right to deny person(s) who does not meet PRN's specified adoption policies.
Applicant must be 18 years of age or older in order to adopt.

The person who is going to be responsible for the pet must be present at the time of adoption in order to sign the Adoption Agreement.
