I adopted my sweet little Mr. Peanut a month ago. I came in once to meet all the cats and he was just curled up, scared in his cage. I came back a few days later and the lovely staff got him out and into my arms and it was love at first sight. I could tell they really cared about the animals there and were really attentive even though I could tell they were busy. Thank you so much for my new best friend!

This shelter is filled with LOVE! My family was so lucky to have been matched with the "purrfect" fur baby years ago that we adopted from EMAS! He has become the king of our house!!! :) After having such an AMAZING experience, we became fosters for the shelter and have been fostering for several years. Therefore, we know first hand not only how hard the kind staff and volunteers work, but how much they DEEPLY LOVE and CARE for the animals there! The awesome, dedicated manager, Becky, always has the best interest of the animals at heart; and Amy is an absolute ANGEL who lives and breathes saving the lives of animals, always going way beyond her duties to help them!! It takes a village to run (staff, volunteers and community) and it is an INCREDIBLE place to adopt a wonderful furry family member from!

I went in today with my older son to look at the dogs and hopefully start the process to adopt. The website says walk in 12-4pm The first lady behind the counter took in 2 people that were already there and said she would be right back. A different woman comes out with an attitude asks what I needed so I told her. She tells me I have to have an appointment an calls the manager to ask, however her words were more don't you have to have an appointment to see the dogs more statement than question and going on about I need to go to the website and request an appointment, so I show her the website and she says its wrong and someone will have to fix it, so my son says can we request one for now my son is also a military veteran not that she knew that, but why be nasty, she says no you can't. Horrible the way she and the manager spoke and behaved with us. I hope they are better with the animals. 1 star is too many.

Great people who managed to save a terrific dog. Archie is such a wonderful animal(as the staff told us!} We're so lucky to have been allowed to bring him into our home. Great staff and wonderful warm treatment of our family. We've had Archie for a little over a month now and he just gets better & better with us. Can't thank everyone enough at the shelter for helping us with the adoption. PS he's gained 2 lbs as our vet suggested might be optimal and is frisky and very playful with his toys. Loves his adventures to the local parks and beaches!

21-years-old. The shelter recently had their volunteer training, so you might want to reach out to the shelter manager, Kirstin, directly.

I would like to foster a dog. We have been fostering for years with great success but we have moved to Edison and not sure where I can apply to be a foster mom near our home. If you or anyone knows where to apply it would be much appreciated.

Check out Poor Paws in New Brunswick. They're a great org and can always use more fosters :)

Could you let me know what is the policy for feeding a stray cat? In the winter cold it would be harder for them to find food.

Ralph Shapiro | Sep 5, 2020
Dana Speesler | Sep 5, 2020

If you feed a stray cat in New Jersey, you are then responsible for that cat. We do not take in feral cats for adoption. We do offer a TNR service for the people of Edison, but you can also bring them to People for Animals any time for $55. They will spay/neuter, vaccinate and microchip them for you.
