(Monday-Friday 12 pm to 4 pm, Saturday-Sunday 12 pm to 5 pm). All candidates will complete an interview process to ensure a good match. To save time, please complete the questionnaire found on the Find a Dog or Puppy or Find a Cat or Kitten page on our website at www.njshelter.org before you visit the shelter. Note, your questionnaire will be on file when you come to the shelter, we do not call applicants. Completing an online questionnaire does not guarantee placement of, nor hold, any animal. If you plan to bring another canine to the shelter to conduct a “meet and greet” with one of our shelter pets, please call ahead so we can make proper arrangements for the meeting.
