Our Pet of the Month is JACK
Hi! My name is Riley. Pictures don't do me justice...I'm way cuter in real life! I'm a retriever mix and the vet thinks I'm about five years old. I was left with an embedded collar in my neck, but an angel found me in a ditch and rescued me! You'd never know how tough it was for me by my personality...I'm just a happy-go-lucky soul and very trusting! I can sit when told and I'm crate-trained. I walk well on a leash and I can run very well next to you when you go for a bike ride or a jog. I'm a great companion! I like kids a lot and I play well with other dogs too. I like to chase cats so a home without cats would probably be best for any cats involved! I'm a good watchdog, but I don't bark a lot other than that. I also ride well in the car! I'm all up-to-date on my shots and I've got a clean bill of health. I'm playful, but not hyper. I'm so ready for a home of my very own and you won't be sorr y if you give me a chance! I'm very loveable! To qualify to adopt Jack you must live in the Jacksonville area, have a fenced yard and be able to privide PRN with a vet reference. No exceptions. I f you can give Jack a home, please contact Pet Rescue North! YOU MUST HAVE A FENCED YARD TO ADOPT FROM PET RESCUE NORTH. Please contact us at prnorth@yahoo.com to request an application, and one will be emailed to you.

Who We Are
Pet Rescue North is a non-profit, no-kill animal shelter. Pet Rescue North, Inc. opened their doors in 1992 to abandoned, abused, and starving animals. Pet Rescue North exists through donations money, food, and any other shelter supplies. All are gratefully appreciated. The ultimate goal is to place all our animals in forever homes. When animals come into Pet Rescue North they are examined by our veterinarian. All animals are spayed or neutered. They are brought up-to-date on all their vaccinations. They are tested for heartworms, and if they are positive, treatment is provided. Our goal is to never release a sick or injured animal.Adopting a Friend
You may request an application to be sent to you by emailing us at prnorth@yahoo.com. An ADOPTION FEE of $85.00 will be charged to cover medical expenses while the animals are under Pet Rescue Norths care. This fee will cover the following medical treatment: spaying or neutering (ALL ANIMALS MUST BE SPAYED OR NEUTERED THERE WILL BE NO EXCEPTIONS!!!); heartworm check; one DHLPP-CV shot; initial treatment of heartworm preventative program; initial treatment of flea and tick preventative program; fecal exam to check for hookworms, roundworms or whipworms (if positive, the animal will be wormed). All medical care provided shall be performed ONLY by the veterinarians servicing the shelter. Appointments for meeting our animals and for adoptions must be made by calling Peggy at 904-346-6412. ** NO CALLS WILL BE TAKEN OR RETURNED AFTER 8:00 P.M.** A few of the general guidelines that make up the Pet Rescue North (PRN) Adoption Policy are provided below. While, as they say, there is an exception to every rule, these guidelines are standard for no-kill shelters and are used for deciding suitability of a potential adopter. *ALL ADOPTION APPLICANTS MUST BE INTERVIEWED AND APPROVED.* The interview questions are not intended to be insulting or seem unfeeling. We simply must make sure our animals will never again be abandoned, mistreated, or neglected! PRN reserves the right to deny person(s) who does not meet PRN's specified adoption policies. Applicant must be 18 years of age or older in order to adopt. Applicant must have valid identification, with name and present address (driver's license, major credit card, or a current utility bill). If single and living at home with parents, one parent MUST be present or reached by telephone at the time of adoption. The person who will be responsible for the pet MUST be 18 years of age or older. The person who is going to be responsible for the pet must be present at the time of adoption in order to sign the Adoption Agreement. No animal will be tied up, kept outside in a doghouse, pen, run, or kennel, or any type of garage, shed, laundry room, or basement. Animals are expected to be part of the family. No dormitory or group living situations, i.e., schools, group housing, etc., are permitted. Landlords or rental agents will be called to verify pets are allowed. NO LARGE DOGS TO APARTMENTS! The only exception may be owner surrenders advertised on Petfinder.com through our organization, animals who are evaluated and adopted as service animals in training, or those animals already trained for service work.
