Our Featured Dog is Nyla!






Nyla....SO MUCH I could say about this girl, but the first word that comes to mind is SWEETHEART! What a nice dog, she is a total love. She has been well cared for (well, maybe a little overfed LOL) all her life, she is spayed, and is of course totally gorgeous. Unfortunately, her owner got very ill and can't care for her, and couldn't find anyone to care for her. She had no choice but to turn her over to us. She is about 7-8 years old. Nyla is good with other dogs, cats, and seems to love all people. She is still playful, walks SO GOOD on a leash, and just needs someone to cuddle up with. UPDATE....the bandage on Nyla's head is from a blood clot in her ear. The vet took care of it, and then stitched her up which is why the bandage is there. ALSO, Nyla appears to have Cushings...easily treatable with medication.
Our Featured Cat is Duchess!



This is such a sweet girl!!!! Duchess is a diluted torti female avail now...She loves to play and most of all cuddle....The second you pick her up, she actually hugs you. She's getting a little sick of being in a shelter cage however, so this would be a true rescue if someone could take her home. Under two years old, due to be spayed next week. You can hear Duchess purr a mile away....She has her shots and is litter trained and needs a loving forever home

How to adopt

If you see a DOG that you like you must email Mandy@TheShelterAnimalProject.com to see if it is still available. Please be sure to mention the cage number and/or name of the dog. You can also see our adoptable dogs at Petsmart in Fairless Hills, PA every Sunday from 12-4 pm. Come on out!

If you see a CAT that you like, please click on its picture to find the specific email link for this animal. This link will take you directly either to that cat's foster parent or to the cat volunteer at the shelter.

All potential adopters MUST fill out an application or visit our dogs and cats at the shelter adoption days. NO HOLDS WILL BE GIVEN WITHOUT AN APPROVED APPLICATION. The shelter reserves the right to deny adoptions. The animals will be placed in the best possible environment for the animals. 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! 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!
