SAMANTHA!

BELLA (aka MAMA MIA)

Samantha is such a sweet girl; she is about a year old and was found as a stray. Her ears may look like they're folded over funny, but unfortunately someone did a poor job of "cropping" them, poor baby. But that doesn't stop her one bit from being very affectionate and loving to everyone. Samantha deserves someone who will love her from the inside out! UPDATE: Samantha is living in a foster home and is doing wonderfully! She is house trained and doesn't mind being in her crate. She is a beautiful dog waiting for just the right family to see how special she is. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Meet Bella (aka Mama Mia)! She is a petite lady who has had a very hard time in her life. She came to the shelter completely neglected and had lost weight because she couldn't eat. The vet had to pull a few teeth and now she's in a foster home and on her way to a full recovery. She's so tiny and petite, and loves attention. Her favorite spot is a pillow or your lap. She's a little lady around 6 years old and is fully vetted, spayed and tested. Can you give this little lady a home? She will absolutely win over your heart.She is UTD with her shots, FIV negative, spayed and ready to go to her new home! If you are interested in adopting Bella, please fill out an adoption screening form and someone will be in touch, ASAP!

Adopting a Friend


We are proud to be The Trenton Bureau of Animal Control. The Trenton Bureau of Animal Control requires that ALL adopters complete an application, personal interview, and contract. All pets receive shots, worming, rabies shot (if old enough) and temperament test. The ADOPTION FEE for DOGS is now $120 and for CATS $100.00. All adoption fees MUST be paid in cash or money order.

The friendly staff here at The Trenton Bureau of Animal Control cares. We make every effort to match you and your lifestyle with the right pet! We invite you to come and visit our animals by appointment only. To set up an appointment and visit a dog at the shelter email Lisa. To set up an appointment and visit a cat at the shelter email Beth. Both Lisa and Beth will be happy to set up a convenient time for you and our volunteers to meet your future pet!!

 



 

How to adopt?


1. All potential adopters MUST fill out an application or visit our dogs and cats at the shelter adoption days.

2. No holds will be given without an approved application.

3. The shelter reserves the right to deny adoptions.

4. The animals will be placed in the best possible environment for the animals.

5. Personal and vet references are required and will be checked. If you do not provide the complete name, address, and phone number for your vet (if applicable), your application will be automatically denied!

6. The Trenton Animal Shelter has a strict spay/neuter policy. There is no acceptable excuse for not having your animals spayed and neutered other than medical (i.e. heart condition). If your current animals are not spayed or neutered, you MUST provide proof from your veterinarian as to the medical reason why. Over 9,000 animals are put to sleep each day in this country. Please help stop overpopulation and the senseless destruction of these poor animals. Ask your vet about the benefits of spaying/neutering your pet. It could save their life and they could live up to 5 years longer! Low cost spay/neuter, click here

 



 

Can't adopt? Be a Volunteer!!


We NEED volunteers!!! We are animal control but we need help in finding these animals homes. You can start immediately. No orientation or waiting period to work with the cats; volunteering with the dogs requires a brief orientation. We can tailor our volunteer possibilities to ANY schedule. Extra time or TLC to give? VOLUNTEER. The rewards are endless.
