This holiday season, while we think of ways we can help our fellow human beings, it’s important that we don’t forget our four-legged friends that also need our help.

This #GivingTuesday, instead of simply asking for donations, we wanted to give our donors a chance to leave their mark on Jacksonville's shelter pets forever. That is why this year we are launching a campaign to create an art installation within the city shelter, Animal Care & Protective Services. This art installation will be made entirely of unused city license tags from previous years. For a donation of just $5, you can purchase a tag for yourself or as a gift for someone special. Then we will stamp the tag with the benefactor's initials and make it part of the city animal shelter by way of a beautiful public art piece.

Furthermore, between now and January 1st, an anonymous donor will be matching every donation made, dollar-for-dollar! For just $5, you can donate to a great cause AND become part of something that will be on display and enjoyed by two-legged and four-legged friends for years to come. What better way to show your support of Jacksonville's shelter animals?!
