The correct contact information is 384-8488; you can also visit www.jas.net/~jar and click on the pet link.

The organization is also seeking donations and equipment to build and open an animal shelter. Shelter planner Joe Lanier said property on Hi-Truitt Road is being cleared but several thousand dollars are still needed.
