Pet Rescue North, Inc Who We Are

Pet Rescue North, Inc. (PRN) is a non-profit, no-kill animal rescue shelter operating on the north side of Jacksonville, Florida.

The driving principle of PRN is that euthanasia is never an option unless it is medically in the best interests of the animal! What We Do

An obvious comparison in mission and goals exists between Best Friends Animal Society—the subject of National Geographic Channel’s television series, Dogtown and, arguably, one of most famous and well-funded rescue shelters in the U.S.—and PRN. Like Best Friend

s, PRN is known as a shelter caring for the animals that no-one else wants, animals that others consider unadoptable:

• seniors
• the blind or deaf
• amputees
• animals with medical issues

As an example, PRN recently rescued a Rottweiler with cancer and a cat with two feet missing. Frequently, PRN is called upon to rescue animals from other shelters considering euthanizing the animal. However, the comparison with Best Friends ends there. PRN has neither the name-recognition nor the resources—financial, physical or human—available to Best Friends. A Short History of PRN

Pet Rescue North, Inc. (PRN) was established in 1992 as a non-profit, no-kill animal shelter, registered with the State of Florida. PRN was the dream of Barbara Moody who believed that all abandoned and stray animals on the north side of Jacksonville, Florida, deserved a haven where they would be safe until suitable homes were found. Tragically, Barbara became seriously ill and passed away before her dream could become a reality. Peggy Haynes, a dedicated, hardworking volunteer took over operation of PRN and its associated shelter and, although PRN is not yet the big, beautiful, facility envisioned by Barbara, we are fulfilling some of her dreams. PRN has been operating for many years thanks to one of our original sponsors, Dr. Philip Hightman, DVM, who provided reasonably priced veterinary care to get our shelter moving forward. How We Function

PRN operates from money received through adoption fees, fund-raising activities, various animal protection grants, and—most importantly of all--donations. We also rely heavily on materials, equipment, and time donated by concerned citizens. Caring for the animals and maintaining the shelter is a 24/7 operation. There are up to 80 dogs and cats requiring attention at any given time. Some animals are special-need pets that require continuous medical attention, administration of medications, exercise, love, etc. Currently, Brentwood Animal Hospital provides reasonably priced medical care for our "boarders". This makes it possible for all animals to be spayed or neutered at an affordable price, along with providing shots, worming, FIV/Feluk and Diro tests. Our wonderful volunteers keep up our daily schedule of feeding, cleaning, medicating, training and grooming, while also providing the love and socialization these very special cats and dogs need. Many of our little critters have been mentally and physically abused, and it takes months to make them trust people again. Another outstanding group of people PRN could not do without are the foster homes where animals—animals who otherwise would end up at kill shelters--are placed when we have no room at our own facility.

 Sami Jo needs a minimum of 1 hour per day to run/play fetch outside. She does do well at the dog parks, but need to be watchful she doesn’t overwhelm more shy dogs.

She is 100% housebroken. She knows basic commands. She is NOT a nuisance barker, but will demand bark at times for food, etc.,

She went through the Heel Together prison project for 3 months in August.

She is excellent off leash (once she knows you). She may run ahead, but always comes back.

She loves swimming as well.

She is spayed and UTD on all shots.
