ANNOUNCING SPAC's "TEACHER'S PET" adoption promotion! Summertime is a great time for educators to consider adopting a cat -- when school's out, there's more time to spend with a new friend! Any educator who adopts a cat in June or July will be given a reduced adoption rate and a free gift too! Teachers, check out our many beautiful cats and kittens online -- then come on in and take one home!

FOSTER CAT HOMES NEEDED! Thinking about adopting a cat but you're not sure if it's right for you? Would you like to help the shelter in a very meaningful way but aren't sure how? SPAC needs foster homes for cats and kittens! Please contact the shelter to learn more.

A GREAT GIFT FOR ADOPTERS:
Any adopted or rescued dog (from Sayreville Pet Adoption or elsewhere) can receive one free training session with Cathy DiMatteo of Paws Up For Training LLC. Cathy is a Certified Canine Obedience Instructor who generously volunteers her time and talents to work with SPAC's shelter dogs on a regular basis, and it has made a positive difference in our shelter environment. Cathy is patient, kind, and an exceptional trainer and we are grateful for her help. To set up an in-home training session or for more information, please call Cathy at (732) 406-1105, or visit her website at pawsupfortraining.com.

Crystal is an absolutely stunning cat!


She's four years old and healthy, aside from being a little hard of hearing. Please don't let that little impairment cloud your judgment - Crystal is a fantastic, loving cat!

At SPAC we have three 'funds' that are supported by our generous donors:

Sonny's Fund - was inspired by one of SPAC's canine ambassadors and the sweetest big yellow Lab in the world, Sonny. This fund is designed to help adoptable animals who have severe but treatable medical problems. The fund covers animals who need important surgeries, medications, or visits with veterinary specialists.

Spay/Neuter Fund - pays for the spays and neuters of our adoptable cats and dogs. We strive to have every animal altered prior to adoption; it's the ONLY way to 'fix' the problem of pet overpopulation!

General Fund - supports everyday necessities at the shelter: pet food, kitty litter, cleaning and office supplies, minor repairs, etc.

Monetary donations can be designated for a specific fund, or we will apply them where they are needed most. Donations may made in person at the shelter, may be mailed to the shelter, or you can click on our "Donate" link to use Paypal. From the bottom of our 'paws' to the top of our heads, thank you for your generosity!

Other News... The site was last updated on 7-2-09.
Who We Are... The Sayreville Pet Adoption Center is a nonprofit, no-kill animal shelter that seeks loving homes for stray or unwanted cats and dogs. More than 700 pets are adopted annually. Contact the shelter directly at (732) 727-3895. We're open 7 days a week for your convenience - see our hours at the top of the page.
Adopting a Friend... We have plenty of animals who deserve loving homes. The adoption fee includes up-to-date vaccines as well as spay/neuter. Dogs are tested for heartworm and cats are tested for leukemia and feline AIDS. Please note that we require an in-person meeting and completion of an application for all adoptions. We do not adopt animals as gifts. We do not ship or deliver pets.

All potential adopters at Sayreville Pet Adoption Center must complete an application in order to adopt a pet. We make every attempt to review and process aplications within 24-48 hours of their submission, but in some cases the process may take longer. Completion of an application neither guarantees an adoption nor does it place a pet "on hold". Approved applicants will be contacted once the review is completed. SAME DAY ADOPTIONS WILL NOT OCCUR UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES. Therefore, if you plan to travel from a distance to meet one of our pets, please contact us so that your application may be completed and reviewed prior to your visit.

Adoption fees:

Adult cats - $75
Kittens - $75 (plus spay/neuter deposit if applicable)
Adult dogs - $100
Puppies - $150 (plus spay/neuter deposit if applicable)


PLEASE NOTE: All of our adult dogs and cats are SPAYED or NEUTERED before they leave the shelter. THERE IS SIMPLY NO OTHER WAY TO FIGHT PET OVERPOPULATION THAN BY SPAYING/NEUTERING OUR PETS. Not to mention, neutered pets are healthier, happier and live longer lives!

Volunteer... Volunteers over the age of 18 are needed to help at the shelter for a few hours any day of the week walking dogs, socializing with the cats, or both! We also need volunteers to help raise donations and awareness of the shelter by assisting with special events - these volunteers may be under 18 years of age! If you want to help walking dogs, please contact Cathy at pawsup@verizon.net. If you would like to help the cats or to volunteer at events, please contact Barbara at bjkeegan@yahoo.com.
Donations... We always need:
CANNED CAT FOOD!
BLEACH & LAUNDRY DETERGENT!
Monetary Donations in any amount
Kitty Litter
Contractor-sized trash bags
Rawhides/kongs/nylabones for the dogs -- and cat toys!!!
Paper Towels
