Meet the team! Taco, aka "T-Bone" is my Physical Therapy Technician.
Taco is a Chihuahua, German Shepard mix and was rescued by the JSO recruits at the Police Academy. He is a straight shooter with some trust issues so don't expect him to warm up to you too quickly. Don't take it personally...he does not discriminate. He is there to help out Agnes when she gets in the "weeds".

Meet the team! Pearl Mae, aka "The Old Lady" is my Physical Therapy Assistant (PTA).

Pearl is a pit-bull, Shar Pei mix who was rescued from ACPS (fostered by a wonderful woman named Ellen). She is non-stop all day long. She makes sure everyone is completing their exercises correctly and being compliant. She tends to give a "woof" when you are not doing exercises correctly. She will keep you on the straight and narrow.

🐾 Did you know over half of U.S. dogs are overweight?
Even just a few extra pounds can put stress on your pup’s joints, slow recovery from injury, and shorten their lifespan.

Keeping your dog at a healthy weight is one of the best gifts you can give them. 💙

Meet the team! Agnes Matilda, aka "Aggie" is our Office/Front Desk Manager. She's a Jack Russel, rescued from the London Sanctuary in Glen Saint Mary, Florida.
You cannot get anything past this girl. She is direct and to the point. She has the energy of 10 dogs and she is a "no frills" gal. Aggie loves the attention she gets on the phone and at the front desk. She is my right-hand lady. She has recently been diagnosed with FES (Flipped Ear Syndrome) since she usually has one or both flipped constantly.

Blankies, please! 📣 We are VERY low on blankets and towels—and our dogs and cats asked us to send out a plea for more! 🥺 All gently used blankets (no fitted sheets, please) and towels would be so, so appreciated. We use these all over the shelter, and they're essential for keeping our dogs and cats clean and comfortable.
