Jill Jones
My name is Jill Jones and I am cofounder of Animal Ally Action Fund, a 501c3 organization dedicated to reducing euthanasia of pets in our local shelters. I own a boarding facility called Adam’s Folly in Bolivia, NC. We have been fostering homeless pets since 2009. Sometimes over 200 homeless pets a year laid their head here when they had nowhere else to go. In October of 2025, the foster program branched out and got its own 501c3 status. We go to the shelter and pick out animals that we think we can help. Since we started our new organization, we have already saved 25 animals in 6 months and we are just getting started.

Jane’s first day in fostercare
So you want to foster? Jane needs help with her medical conditions. She has spay complications and Heartworms, and resistant tape worms. Plus, we have to teach her some manners.
Jane gets adopted.
Jane was in the back of the shelter recuperating from a spay surgery. She had internal bleeding and was put on antibiotics, but it didn’t completely stop. She lost 11 pounds after her surgery in one month. We recognized she needed help. We took her into our rescue program and she continued to bleed for 6 more weeks. We also took her through her 3 month heartworm treatment and a resistant case of tapeworms that baffled two vets. In addition to health problems, Jane was terribly shy, and needed to work on living in a house and meeting new people.
Jane learns to live in a house and trust people.
It was clear Jane never lived inside before. Her first day, see her jumping on the dining room table. She also suffered from stranger danger. She was afraid of new people which made meeting new potential adopters difficult. She met several people who walked away. Jo walked her in her neighborhood introducing her to countless new people to get her to learn to trust and build her confidence. Melissa seen here, came 2-3 times a week and walked her for hours. She took her home a few times so that when she was ready to be adopted, Jane would already know Melissa was a friend not a stranger. It’s her adoption picture. Jane got adopted!
Jane took 3 months to heal physically and emotionally and to be ready for adoption. The group spent several thousand dollars getting her there. Jane proved that EVERY homeless animal is worth saving. She is the essence of our motto: Caring For Pets One Action At A Time. And when Jane found a home, we rescued another. Saving them ALL starts with Saving One!
