Justin Bartlett Animal Rescue (JBAR) will host a Raising of the Flag Ceremony on Saturday, April 18, at its newest facility, The Meadows, located at 20363 Antoinette Street in Loxahatchee. The public event runs from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., and is free and open to all — families, veterans, neighbors and four-legged friends alike.
The ceremony marks the formal dedication of The Meadows as an active JBAR rescue property, celebrating the organization’s expanding capacity to save animals in need, while paying tribute to the men and women of the United States military, whose service makes the work of organizations like JBAR possible.
The flag-raising is more than a symbolic act — it represents the values at the heart of JBAR’s mission: freedom, second chances and the unwavering belief that every life matters. JBAR will dedicate The Meadows beneath the flag that represents the freedoms that make its mission possible.
Guests are invited to tour The Meadows, meet the rescue animals currently in JBAR’s care and be part of the official dedication of the property. Light refreshments will be provided. Leashed dogs are welcome to attend alongside their owners. The Meadows represents a significant milestone for JBAR — a dedicated facility that expands the rescue’s ability to shelter, rehabilitate and rehome animals across South Florida. The event underscores the organization’s deep roots in the local community and its commitment to operating with purpose and heart.
