Help save homeless pets in NJ
Shelters near you need help to save more lives. Every day, dogs and cats are killed in animal shelters across New Jersey simply because they don’t have a place to call home. Together, with your help, we’re changing that.
Best Friends is working with animal welfare organizations and stakeholders statewide to save every pet who can be saved and reach no-kill through New Jersey in 2025. Your local shelter is counting on your help. Now is the time to get involved and make a lifesaving difference.
Best Friends focuses on cats in New Jersey
Best Friends is supporting two bills (A. 2275 and S. 179) focused on saving cats. These bills would allow trap-neuter-vaccinate-return for community cats (aka cats who live outdoors) in New Jersey and establish a state fund for spay and neuter services. Best Friends also partners with Burlington County Animal Shelter and Camden County’s Homeward Bound Pet Adoption Center on satellite foster programs to increase positive outcomes for dogs and cats.
