ADOPT – Friends of Jackson County Animal Shelter Pets

Interested in adopting one of FJCASP’s animals?

Our foster families and volunteer have invested a lot of love, time, and money on these animals and we are committed to seeing them go to good, permanent, loving homes with people who have the knowledge and means to take care of them through thick and thin. If you are ready to make the commitment…

TAKE A LOOK at PETFINDER

Many of our adoptable animals, along with bios, can be found on PETFINDER.

We also post available animals on our Facebook page.

NOTE: Because our purpose is to assist the Jackson County Animal Shelter (in Gautier), you will notice that we share pictures and information about animals currently at the shelter on our facebook page – you will need to contact the shelter about those animals that are not currently being fostered by FJCASP

COMPLETE AN APPLICATION FOR THE PET(S) YOU LIKE

Once your application is received, and if the animal is still available for adoption, you will be put in contact with the foster parent(s) or another FJCASP volunteer to arrange for a meet-and-greet and determine if you and the animal are a good match.

Here is the link to the application: Online Application

REQUIREMENTS

Veterinary References: We will check with your vet to verify current pets have been kept up to date on vaccinations, preventatives and are otherwise well cared for
Home Assessments: One of our volunteers, typically the foster parent, will want to make sure the home environment the animal is going to is suitable – this will vary from pet to pet and may include a fenced yard.
Understanding the Commitment: Adopting an animal is a LONG TERM commitment. Once you make that commitment, the care and well-being of the animal is your responsibility.
