Dear JARR Family,
 
With unconditional love, our beloved pets are with us through the “ups” and alongside us during the unfortunate “downs.” This includes many of the estimated 10 million victims of domestic violence annually. Studies show that 68% of households in the U.S. include pets, and up to 50% of domestic-violence survivors delay leaving an abusive situation out of concern for their pets.

Recently, Jameson Animal Rescue Ranch received an urgent text. A victim of domestic violence wanted to leave her abuser but feared for the safety of her two cats. An hour later, she was in a safe place and we ensured that her two cats were too. Knowing that her animals were being cared for gave her the courage to leave and the ability to focus on healing.
It’s a story not often told, but situations like this also include farm animals. One week after assisting the woman with two cats, we stepped up to help relocate three beloved horses to Oregon along with their guardian who was fleeing domestic abuse in California. The cost to move them was considerable, but through the generosity of people like you, we were again able to help a person desperately in need of assistance.
"I just wanted to thank you for taking the time to hear my pleas for help. For months I was running on no sleep and pure terror of trying to make sure my horses were going to be taken care of due to escaping an extremely violent marriage. I was not going to abandon my animals just to get myself to safety. I never felt so helpless in my life feeling I was letting these precious valuable lives down. After I made a life-long promise to them saving them each from lives of hell. I want to thank you from the depths of my heart for taking the time to truly hear me, to have an understanding of how much I loved my horses and was willing to risk my own life to not leave them behind.  I can’t thank you enough for helping me and them, and for receiving this second chance at life."
Through JARR’s Community Animal Assistance Program (CAAP), we provide our community and nearly a dozen surrounding counties with assistance during some of people’s most dire times. We are committed to finding fast solutions for those who need it, especially in an emergency. From unexpected loss of a pet guardian to domestic-abuse survivors, even those who find themselves in need of assistance as they journey to address life’s challenges, be they physical or mental, addiction or otherwise, we serve as a safety net.
JARR works in conjunction with incredible local organizations, such as
Napa Emergency Women’s Services . The regional rescue network knows we provide this service, so we are often a first call.
 
CAAP is one of nearly a dozen major programs that JARR runs, in addition to a senior citizen pet wellness program, adoption and foster, fospice, spay and neuter assistance, and more. With your help we can drive these programs further.
Will you join us on this journey? $25, $50 $100 $250 or $500 — every penny counts. With your support, we can continue to do whatever it takes to help our community, both people and animals.
 
Together we can create a kinder, more compassionate world. Thank you for all you do.

In gratitude,
David and Monica Stevens
