Free pet adoptions this week in Jacksonville thanks to Vystar Credit Union

The Jacksonville Humane Society and Animal Care and Protective Services are both at capacity for available kennels and are asking the community for help.

So far in 2022, JHS has transferred 128 animals into their custody from ACPS and taken in 1,071 stray animals.

Adoptions at the Jacksonville Humane Society will be waived beginning Weds., April 27th, 2022 through Fri., April 29th, 2022, thanks to VyStar Credit Union.

Animal Care & Protective Services will also be waiving their adoption fees during this time.

“At VyStar Credit Union, we are proud to celebrate our 70th anniversary by partnering with the Jacksonville Humane Society to sponsor free pet adoptions,” said Patricia McElroy, SVP and President VyStar Community Foundation. “Our credit union’s purpose is to do good, and through these adoptions, we hope to bring joy to many local residents while also finding forever homes for these wonderful animals.”

“When we reach capacity at JHS, not only is it a challenge for us, but it means we cannot provide relief to ACPS,” said JHS CEO Denise Deisler. “We are hopeful that with the support of our friends and neighbors, along with help from our generous partners at VyStar Credit Union, we can overcome this temporary obstacle and move forward into May with even more pets finding new, loving homes.”
