TRENTON BUREAU OF ANIMAL CONTROL



Our Featured Dog is Corey!




Corey is just an INSANELY handsome guy with a huge heart! Just one of those dogs that you fall madly in love with just being around him for a minute. The kind that presses up against your legs just to be close to you, but will bounce after a ball if he thinks it will make you smile. Just an all around great guy. He came to us when his owner abandoned him (he was found on the roof of a building! A roof!!!! How does that happen???) Anyway, he is still young, about a year or so old. And anyone will be lucky to have him in their family! If interested in Corey, please fill out our screening form.

Our Featured Cat is Arden!


Arden is a sweet cat who loves attention . She is very laid back and quiet. She prefers to be an only cat which is great if you are only allowed one pet in your home:) She is approx 6 yrs old and is spayed and tested. She loves her bed s-o-o-o much you can usually find her in it (which is great for those of us who forget where we left the cat - kidding!) What a great cat for an older person looking for a low maintenance companion or for the single guy who just wants someone to "hang with". Arden came in to the shelter with a VERY slight neck injury. She kinda tilts her head to the side at times - but it doesn't bother her - heck, I get a nervous tic from doing all these bios!!!!! Arden is totally unaffected by this and it requires NO medical attention. As Popeye says, "I yam what I yam" and that's little Miss Arden, head tilt and all. - We love her just the way she is. On display in Delran NJ petsmart. .

How to adopt

If you see a DOG that you like you must email trentonshelter@yahoo.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!
