Animal Care and Protective Services (ACPS) has reported numerous times over the last several months that the shelter has been experiencing overcrowding that exceeds their capacity for care. Many animal shelters nationwide are struggling with increasing in-shelter animal populations and ACPS is no exception. Recently, a State of Emergency was declared for all South Carolina Shelters due to overcrowding.

Many of our most vulnerable citizens are facing financial difficulties. Many are having to pick and choose between paying rent, mortgage, phone and electric bills, or buying crucial staples like food. Mayor Curry wants to remind the community that the City of Jacksonville’s Emergency Assistance Program is available to qualified Duval County residents in need. Please see below to determine if you qualify.
