“There’s no better way to ride out a scary storm than with a loving family!” said Denise Deisler, JHS CEO. “We are grateful that we can always count on the compassion of the Jacksonville community to help care for pets in need during times like these. Doing so positions us to help those in the direct path of the storm, should they need us.”
