Please join GFNJ for a M&G ! Please contact Dina Kimmel for information [email protected]
We will need greyt volunteers and beautiful hounds today and for future monthly Meet & Greets at this store location. Please let us know if you can help.
Greyhounds still come to GFNJ from the Hopkinton kennel, directly from the New England tracks and, in times of crisis, from Florida, Georgia, Mexico or wherever greyhounds need help. GFNJ is an independent organization but still works cooperatively with the original Greyhound Friends of Mass.
On arrival, all dogs are spayed or neutered, inoculated, and heartworm tested. The minimum adoption donation is $235.00. Generally, dogs are taken to a boarding kennel until they are adopted. To GFNJ, finding homes for ex-racing greyhounds is a labor of love. Today, that devotion finds homes for more than 250 greyhounds each year. The Greyhound Friends philosophy: Accept those greyhounds in need of a safety net, regardless of gender, size, color or age. There is a home out there for every one of them; it's our job to find it.

Pet Adoption Fees Waived For All County Veterans
Military men and women in Burlington County now may have another “friend” waiting for them at the Burlington County Animal Shelter.
Freeholder Mary Ann O’Brien today unveiled the shelter’s “Free Pets for Vets” program, through which all county veterans may adopt a dog or cat free of charge.
“It is well know that companion animals can help to reduce stress, depression and anxiety,” said O’Brien. “What we’re doing is reducing the barriers for adopting animals for those who, we believe, will truly appreciate the companionship.”
The typical cost of adopting from the shelter runs anywhere from $45 to $100, depending on whether it is a cat or dog, and the age of the animal. All animals are neutered or spayed before being adopted out.
Veterans interested in adopting will need to fill out an application form and show a copy of their DD-214 or County Veteran ID Card. The typical waiting period runs anywhere from one to seven days, depending upon the animal.
“All County residents in the market for a pet should consider the shelter,” said O’Brien. “Visitors are welcomed to walk through the kennels, and acquaint themselves with our ‘occupants’ who are looking for new homes.”
The Animal Shelter is located on Pioneer Boulevard in the County’s Westampton Complex, off Woodlane Road. open everyday but Sundays and holidays. Phone number is (609) 265-5073.
Monday & Thursday 12pm - 7pm Tuesday, Wednesday & Friday 12pm - 4pm

O.S.C.A.R. Animal Rescue Adoption Event
Petco
275 New Jersey 10
Succasunna, NJ 07876
One Step Closer Animal Rescue, Inc.(OSCAR) was started because its volunteers saw they could do so much more to help animals. Many times we get asked how we got into rescue work. Our rescue’s founders started off with dog walking at a local shelter, then fostering and fundraising, then took the big leap into starting a rescue. We always felt we had the drive and passion to work hard to save as many lives as we could; we just needed to start a rescue to do so. Visit our website fo info
