JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – The Jacksonville Humane Society and Animal Care & Protective Services are continuing their annual Silent Night foster program to give shelter pets temporary homes for the holidays.
Many people adopt their foster pets or find another family to adopt them. Pets who aren’t adopted can be returned to the shelter after Christmas Day.

Silent Night foster families provide valuable information about a pet’s behavior in a home environment to help future adopters.
Silent Night will begin on Dec. 14 at ACPS and on Dec. 18 at JHS. Families can pick up a foster pet during the following dates and times:
