Right now, nearly 500 animals are waiting inside Jacksonville's city shelter, Animal Care and Protective Services. They're in the largest city in the contiguous United States and they need you.
Success Story
Maybe the audio story -
Nearly 500 Animals. One City.
One Shelter.
Your Chance to Help.
Side by Side with ACPS
Jacksonville's Animal Care and Protective Services shelter is one of the busiest in America and it runs on a city budget that can't cover everything. Forever Friends Jax works directly alongside ACPS to fill those gaps. Medical supplies, emergency care, food, enrichment” we fund what falls through the cracks so no animal gets left behind.
Your Dollars.
Real Animals.
Real Outcomes.
Every dollar donated through Forever Friends Jax goes straight to the animals at ACPS. No fluff, no runaround. When you give, you're giving a dog his first toy, covering a vet visit for a cat who came in injured, or helping supply fosters with supplies to care for kittens who aren't ready for the world yet.
Jacksonville is the largest city by land area in the contiguous United States. That means nearly 500 animals move through our city shelter every single day. Some come in injured. Some are newborns. Some have never known a gentle hand.
Every one of them deserves a fighting chance and your donation is what makes that possible. There is no city like Jacksonville, and there is no shelter that needs the community behind it more than ours.
