13 Sponsored Dogs Still Looking for Their Forever Homes!

We currently have 13 amazing dogs available for adoption, with adoption fees fully sponsored!

If you've been thinking about adding a furry friend to your family, now is the perfect time. These dogs are ready for a second chance and are waiting to find loving, permanent homes.

Please help us spread the word! If you are interested in adopting, or know someone who may be, reach out to us for more information.

Every dog deserves a loving home. Could one of these dogs be your new best friend?

Good Morning,

Our phones have been working harder than a puppy with the zoomies! We've received a ton of calls asking about our dogs, so before you fall in love over the phone, head over to AdoptJCACC.com or stop by in person to see the most up-to-date photos and information on all of our available pups.

And yes, believe it or not, we still have 12 sponsored dogs patiently waiting for their forever homes. They're doing their best "pick me" faces, but apparently, they need your help! šŸ¾

Come meet your new best friendā€”warning: side effects may include excessive tail wags, stolen couch space, and unconditional love. ā¤ļøšŸ•ā€šŸ¦ŗšŸ¾

What a great day at the animal shelter! šŸ¾

We were thrilled to see 13 dogs adopted today, with several more adoptions pending for the beginning of the week.

A huge thank you to everyone who attended the NPD event and took the time to visit the shelter. Your support helps our dogs find the loving homes they deserve.

For those still looking to add a furry family member, our remaining dogs are fully sponsored until they find their forever homes, making now a wonderful time to adopt.

Thank you for helping us make a difference in the lives of these amazing dogs. We can't wait to celebrate even more happy endings in the days ahead!

Another two adoptions down today!

Prada and Nala are both off on their new adventures, and we couldnā€™t be more excited for them as they begin this next chapter.

We are beyond grateful for this opportunity to get our dogs out into loving homes and give them the fresh starts they deserve.

Over the past two days, we have adopted out a total of 14 dogs so far!

As bittersweet as it is saying goodbye, it warms our hearts to see kennels opening up, creating space for new faces who need our help and a chance at finding their forever families. Thank you to everyone who has made this possible.

Weā€™ve officially reached 10 total adoptions todayā€¦ and thereā€™s still time left!

The shelter will remain open until 3 PM today, so if youā€™ve been thinking about adopting, now is the perfect time to come meet your new best friend!

While some of our staff has been hard at work at the shelter helping with adoptions, our team at the Nicholasville Police Department Car Show and Festival has also been working tirelessly to promote our dogs and help them find homes.

We are so excited to share that King, Rocky, and Lacy have all been adopted today!

We truly cannot express how much hope this entire experience has given us. Seeing so many dogs finding homes and receiving so much support from our community has meant everything to us.

A HUGE thank you once again to our anonymous sponsor for helping make it easier for these dogs to find their families today. Your kindness is changing lives, one adoption at a time.

We have been so grateful for our community lately, yā€™all have shown us just how supportive you can be, and we canā€™t thank you enough!

We are so excited to announce that 4 dogs have found homes through either adoption or trial adoption!

Blue and Walter are heading out on trial adoptions, and we are wishing them all the love and luck as they begin this exciting new chapter.

Flint and Posie are officially adopted and ready to soak up all the love and comfort in their forever homes!

Thank you to everyone who supports, shares, donates, fosters, and cheers these dogs on. None of this would be possible without you. Hereā€™s to happy tails and new beginnings!

If you are still interested in adopting, we still have so many more kind souls waiting for their forever homes!
