New Jersey Save A Pet Rescue, Inc.
Who We Are
New Jersey Save A Pet Rescue, Inc. is a nonprofit 501(c)3 tax-exempt animal rescue organization based in northern-central New Jersey. We were incorporated in February 2003 by a small but dedicated group of volunteers.
Our goal is to provide New Jersey’s lost and abandoned cats and dogs with quality housing, veterinary care, and socialization until a permanent home can be found for them. We also provide the public with important education about animal welfare issues such as the importance of spaying or neutering your pet, choosing the right pet for your household, proper training techniques for your pet, etc. It is our belief that educating the public is the key to helping reduce the large numbers of animals that end up in shelters every year.
In addition to our foster and education program, NJSAP networks with local municipal shelters to provide them with necessary services such as veterinary care and public exposure to facilitate adoptions for impounded animals.

Up-Coming Events
June 2007
June 2nd and 16th from 12-3 at the Petco in Piscataway
Special requests for meeting animals in their foster homes will be honored upon contacting us at info@njsap.org.
Come Visit Us
You can now visit some of New Jersey Save A Pet’s adoptable cats daily at the Adoption Center in the Petco of Piscataway during store hours. In addition, we will be hosting adoption days and events as posted below.
Because NJSAP is a group of foster homes and not a shelter, we have a variety of convenient locations where foster pets can be seen. If you are unable to make it to a scheduled adoption event please submit an application to schedule an appointment to meet our adoptable pets. We have foster homes convenient to the following areas: Bernardsville/Basking Ridge, Bridgewater/Raritan, Branchburg, Martinsville, North Plainfield, Plainfield, Watchung, Piscataway, and Metuchen.
*PLEASE NOTE: Only approved applicants will be given appointments to meet our pets in their foster homes or other locations outside of adoption events. Also, while we try to make meeting places as convenient as possible not every pet can be seen in all of the above exact locations.
