Dear Friends and Supporters,

2015 was a triumphant year for the Jacksonville Humane Society and

the animals in Jacksonville! Together with our partners, we sustained

our city-wide no kill status by ensuring that 93% or more of the

homeless animals who entered local shelters were adopted into loving

homes.

The excitement grew in 2015 as we finally began construction on our

long-awaited new shelter! Many of you have been our friends since

before the devastating fire in 2007 destroyed our shelter and claimed

the lives of 86 animals. Seeing this dream of a new shelter turn into a

reality is an honor and a privilege!

As our new shelter builds, so does our commitment to the community.

We are steadfast in our mission to be a resource for local pet owners

and their companion animals. In addition to caring for thousands of

homeless animals in Jacksonville each year, we also offer:

Behavior assistance for pet owners

Positive-Reinforcement training courses

Resources, such as pet food and veterinary care, for pet owners in

need via our Pet Safety Net program

Low-cost veterinary care at our animal hospital

Humane education for youth and adults

A wide variety of adoption promotions throughout the year

Monthly off-site adoption events that bring the pets to the people

With change comes challenge, but challenges make champions. With

each challenge we faced in 2015, the support of our generous friends,

donors, and volunteers helped us come out on top.

Now – let’s build this puppy!

On behalf of the animals,

Giving Tuesday Demolishes Records

Giving Tuesday is a world-wide day of giving that takes place on the Tuesday after Thanksgiving. It follows the madness of Black Friday and Cyber Monday. This year, JHS donors took things to a new level, shattering previous Giving Tuesday records with an amazing total of more than $32,000 for the animals! Giving Tuesday was also a time to highlight the importance of our Medical Fund, used to help dogs like Fauna, who came to JHS with a gunshot wound. Thanks to JHS donors, she received medical care and found a loving home!

Coming 2017

Building Families, One Dog at a Time

A skinny, black dog arrived as a stray at the city shelter on July

30th, 2014. Sallie was 20 lbs. underweight with double ear infec-

tions, heartworms, and a painful skin issues. On top of her health

issues, Sallie did not have a lot of experience with people or living in

a home. Months went by with no family in sight. JHS transferred

her to our care in February 2015. Our staff worked with Sallie to

improve her manners and showcase her spirit. A year passed and

Sallie was still waiting in the shelter. JHS doubled their efforts –

showcasing her on the news, giving her a billboard with help from

our friends at Comcast Outdoor and plastering the internet with

pleas. Finally – in October, 15 long months later – a man named

Chris saw a video of Sallie and knew

she was the one for him. Sallie was

finally home! Sallie, now named

“Malibu” or “Boo” for short, is living the

good life with her dad! They are a

perfect pair and love spending time

together. Sallie’s story is just one of

the many examples of how the JHS’

partnerships save lives and

keeps Jacksonville a no kill

city!

A Strong Foundation On Which We Build In 2015, foundations awarded JHS more than $500,000 in funding!

At our annual Toast to the Animals event in September of 2015, we were

thrilled to announce that the Petco Foundation generously awarded one million

dollars to JHS for our Campaign to Build a

Compassionate Community! Thank you Petco

Foundation, for supporting our mission to

continue saving homeless pets in Jacksonville!

JHS loves dogs, cats, and JAGUARS! 2015 was a banner year for JHS thanks to our home team. Not only was JHS the biggest recipient of the Jaguars Foundation Give & G0 promotion, but we also were honored to have General Manager Dave Caldwell and his wife, Joelle, as our chairs of Toast to the Animals. The Jaguars Foundation also generously provided local, underprivileged youth with scholarships to attend JHS Camp Paw Prints! October was an exciting month when Jaguars fans raised more than $33,000 for JHS in the Hometown Showdown contest against the Ravens. There’s no way we can’t win with the Jags by our side!

Toast to the Animals

Chaired by Dave and Joelle Caldwell, Toast to the Animals is

held each year to benefit the JHS Medical Fund. In 2015, Toast

raised over $100,000 for the animals in our care.

Toast to the Animals is a night of unlimited wine and

hors d’oeuvres tasting, auctions and dancing for

the dogs and cats at JHS!
