Heartworm Help on Hold for Jacksonville Dogs | Jacksonville News

Jacksonville’s shelter dogs with heartworm are facing a tough break—Friends of Jacksonville Animals has paused its beloved “Red Folder” program, which once covered post-adoption treatment costs, due to a $10K monthly funding gap. Without this help, dogs must stay longer in the shelter, slowing adoptions and frustrating hopeful families. FOJA still funds emergency care and essentials, but the post-adoption support is on hold to protect their overall mission. They’re rallying the community with a Pups and Pilates event on July 11th at Ruby Beach Brewing—$25 gets you a Pilates class and puppy coffee time. Your donation could help bring the program back faster. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
