Adoptions:

If you are interested in adopting an animal, please contact the shelter directly. E-mails may not be answered on a daily basis. Applications are required when adopting a pet. Applications are held for 24-48 hours for screening. If approved, a fee of $40 is required and no credit cards accepted. If a resident application is approved, a representative will contact applicant and make arrangements to finalize the adoption. We reserve the right to deny any applications for any reason. Any animal adopted is required to be spayed or neutered. The owner will be able to participate in the New Jersey low-cost spay/neuter program. This program entitles each adopter the ability to have their new family member spayed or neutered for $20 at any participating veterinarian. Every adopted animal is always returnable should there be any problem with the adoption. Click here to view a list of our adoptable pets.
