Our Story
Why Brutus' Animal Aid Began
Brutus' Animal Aid was created by Jazlyn to respond to a growing need in York County, Pennsylvania: families who love their pets but are struggling to afford basic care. After seeing pets surrendered simply because food and supplies were out of reach, we set out to build a safety net that keeps pets where they belong—in their homes.
Jazlyn has a heart of gold when it comes to helping animals. She wanted to give back to the community while also meeting new furry friends. That is when the idea for Brutus' Animal Aid came to mind, named after our American Bully.
Our Mission IS SIMPLE...
