🚨 Immediate Intake Closure 🚨
Over the last few months, we have taken in a large number of animals, including many moms and litters needing immediate help. While we are incredibly grateful that we were able to step in for so many, the reality is that our vet bills have become astronomical and our foster availability is at one of the lowest points we have seen in a long time.
We currently have over 85 animals in rescue when we normally average around 45-50 at any given time.
Summer is here, many of our fosters have vacations, family plans, and schedule changes, and we simply cannot continue operating beyond our capacity without risking burnout for our volunteers and inadequate resources for the animals already in our care.
As difficult as this decision is, PJ’s Rescue will be closing intake immediately except for true emergencies. This pause will allow us to focus on the animals currently depending on us while we work to stabilize our foster network and financial resources.
We hate having to say no. Every volunteer here wishes we could help every animal that needs us. But responsible rescue also means recognizing when we need to pause, regroup, and ensure the animals already in our care continue receiving the care they deserve.
We are currently working on reconciling outstanding balances with our partner veterinarians and will be posting donation opportunities and medical fundraisers in the coming weeks.
In the meantime, one of the most impactful ways you can help is by adopting, fostering, donating, or simply sharing our posts. Every share helps our animals reach potential adopters and creates much-needed space within rescue. Check out some of our animals who have been waiting the longest below!
Thank you to everyone who continues supporting PJ’s Rescue, our fosters, volunteers, adopters, veterinary partners, and community. We truly could not do this without you.
