Union Township Animal Shelter is a municipal shelter which provides animal control
services for the Township of Union, New Jersey. Our goal is to love and nurture
animals while they are with us. Then we try to find them the perfect home. Many
wonderful dogs and cats are at the shelter, waiting for a forever home. These
animals can be seen during our adoption hours. Pets come and go, so please check
back frequently! If you are no longer able to care for your pet properly, you can
turn him/her into the shelter. Proof of residency is required for Union residents
to surrender their pets. We ask that you please bring your pet's medical records
and provide us with any information you can to assist us in attempting to place
your pet. in a good home. Animal surrenders are accepted during the shelter hours
only.

You may come to the shelter during adoption hours to meet the pet you are
interested in.
If you decide that you have found the right companion, you will be asked to submit
an application online or complete one at the shelter:
Once the application is received we will forward it through the appropriate
approval process and you will be notified. Obtaining approval in advance does not
in any way obligate you to adopt an animal, but it does speed up the process
should you meet an animal that is right for you. Please note that some online
applications are not being received. Please follow up with the Board of Health
(908-851-8507) to ensure that your application has been received. You may also
drop off a copy of the appliaction to the shelter. We will have this glitch fixed
soon! Thank you for understanding!
Cats: $125
Cats are dewormed, vaccinated, and spayed/neutered
Dogs: $175
Dogs are vaccinated and spayed/neutered
We highly recommend paying the extra fee to microchip (especially for dogs). We
use People for Animals and this fee is $35, which includes the microchip and the
first year registration fee.
For animals that have been spayed/neutered prior and/or vaccinated, a reduced
fee will be charged.
RESCUE GROUPS: We welcome rescue groups willing to pull animals for
placement through their groups. If you have not pulled from this shelter before,
please contact the shelter to indicate you wish to do so and make
arrangements.
SCHOOLS: We welcome schools to do fundraisers and donation drives.
Arrangements can also be made to do a walk-thru at the shelter. Please contact the
shelter for more information.
