Our Mission
Our Mission & Story
Friends of Jackson County Animal Shelter Pets was founded in 2013 to help the growing number of animals entering the Jackson County Animal Shelter in Gautier, MS.
We are a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, foster-based rescue, which means we do not have a physical facility — all of our pets live in loving foster homes until they’re adopted.
Since our founding in 2013, Friends has helped over 5,000 pets find safety, love, and forever families.
We rescue both cats and dogs. Many of our dogs travel north to our partner rescues, while others are adopted locally. The same goes for our cats — some find homes nearby, and others journey north to new families.
Adoption Policy
At FJCASP, we dedicate a great deal of love, time, and resources to caring for our animals, and our top priority is to see them go to permanent, loving homes with people who have the knowledge and means to provide proper care.
Adoption Fee: $80–$150
Vet References Required
We require that all potential adopters provide veterinary references. This allows us to confirm that any current or past pets have been kept up to date on vaccinations, preventatives, and are spayed/neutered. Most veterinary offices are familiar with this request. Our goal is to ensure that our animals are placed in homes where they will remain safe, healthy, and properly cared for.
Long-Term Commitment
Adopting a pet is a serious, long-term commitment. We want all potential adopters to understand their responsibilities and be prepared to care for an animal for its lifetime.
Home Requirements
To provide a safe environment, we require that adopters provide:
- Proper shelter for the animal
- Understanding of how to introduce a new pet to children and existing animals
-Commitment to keeping the animal as an indoor pet
Adoption Approval
All adoptions must be finalized and approved by the FJCASP Board. This ensures oversight by experienced individuals who can confirm that all parties understand their responsibilities and that the animal’s welfare is prioritized.
Adopter Responsibilities
It is part of our adoption agreement that all medical treatments, veterinary costs, preventatives, food, and shelter are the sole responsibility of the adopter.
Our goal is to place each animal in a loving, safe, and permanent home, and these guidelines help us ensure that every adoption is successful for both the pet and the adopter.
