PAWS offers private adoptions in addition to our on-site adoption days at Petco and, coming again in June, the Farmer's Market in Montclair.
Our cats are sheltered at a peaceful, clean and lovely local sanctuary where you can make arrangements to meet cats you see posted on our site. There is quiet space to interact with the cats in a natural home environment without the stresses of crowds or other animals.
 
PAWS dogs are either in foster care locally or at our sanctuary in northern New Jersey. Depending on your schedule, you may be able to meet the dogs at that location, or we can arrange to bring a particular dog to your home so that your entire family may meet a potential adoptee.
 
 Our main goal is to match you and your family with the right feline or canine companion. Because these animals live in a more natural setting, we have a better understanding of their behaviors. Behaviors can surface in different environments, and with different people. It is natural that an animal may initially be stressed in a new home environment, and we work with behavior specialists that can help make better transitions and provide great training tips.
We encourage you to contact us to arrange for a private adoption visit. We do require that our application for adoption be completed prior to meeting any of our animals so we may have a better idea of your expectations, and can possibly suggest certain animals you may want to meet.
Since having to leave our North
Willow Street building in December
2008, the PAWS volunteers have continued to work non-stop, juggling the over
100 animals for which we had to find
placement at year’s end, as well as trying
to secure a new shelter facility, procure
foster homes, facilitate adoption days,
continue internet contacts and work on
fund raising efforts.
PAWS (Pound Animal Welfare Society of Montclair Inc.) is dedicated to finding
good homes for the many abandoned and unwanted cats and dogs in
our community. We are extremely proud of the number of adoptions we
have facilitated and the number of animals we have rescued over the
years many from dire circumstances and successfully placed with loving families.
We make sure our cats and dogs are spayed or neutered, administer vaccinations, and provided routine and emergency veterinary care and compassion to all of the animals that have come to us.
Our success depends on the generous support of individuals like you
who believe in our mission and are committed to the humane treatment
of animals.
Sheltering and caring for
homeless animals for over 30 years
PAWS-MONTCLAIR was founded 35 years ago. We are a non-profit
organization, with 501(c)3 status. PAWS is dedicated to finding
homes for the unwanted cats and dogs in our community. We are proud
to have had one of the highest adoption rates amongst the many animal
shelters in New Jersey.
We are supported solely by donations . 100% of all donations go directly to PAWS. NO fundraisers are ever paid.
To ensure our animals are placed in
good homes all applicants are thoroughly screened and we do follow-up
calls and visits. All adopted cats and dogs are given a 10 day health
guarantee, providing the adopter uses the veterinarian we select.

In need of Foster homes for our cats and dogs!
Since we no longer have a facility we are very reliant on our Foster homes.
They are the Key for our survival and instrumental in aiding our ability to continue to help the community.
This is a great opportunity to get involved and help homeless pets in need.
PAWS will assist you every step of the way.
If interested, please call (973) 746-5212 for more information.
