SAVE, A Friend to Homeless Animals

Our Pet List

Who We Are

SAVE - A Friend to Homeless Animals, is Princeton's Animal Shelter. We are a haven for lost puppies, stray kittens, and dogs and cats whose owners can no longer care for them. We give them a home until they can be adopted. SAVE is a private, non-profit, organization and a holding facility for all cats and dogs brought in through Animal Control officers in Princeton Borough and Princeton Township. We have been in existence since 1941 and are almost entirely supported by contributions.

Each animal is examined by our veterinarian and given the appropriate treatment and vaccinations. All animals available from SAVE are spayed or neutered. All Save's cats have been FIV and Feline Leukemia tested, and all dogs have been heartworm tested. All SAVE's adoptees have been vaccinated and dewormed as well. We give comfort to the frightened newcomers and socialize the abused or neglected cats and dogs that come to SAVE. Each animal is given its own space, which is cleaned daily. We actively seek adopters for our homeless friends and screen families and individuals to ensure a suitable match is made.

Adopting a Friend

Anyone interested in adopting a pet from SAVE should visit during visitation hours (12-6 Tuesday through Saturday and Sunday 12-4), fill out an application and visit the available animals.
