Ocean County provided free rabi shots for all domestic pets. They were able to provide this service since many small business were closed down during the 2020 shutdown... the clinic was given funds from the CV19 funds...

Paulina sieczkowska | Sep 10, 2019
Nancy Castillo | Sep 9, 2020

Call the Ocean County Humane Society on Fremont Street in Jackson. They have appointments to give pets FREE rabies shots. You will have to wait in line with your pet for at least 30 minutes outside the shelter until it is your turn. The shelter staff is very nice & professional.

Jacob Elbogen | Sep 10, 2019
Jugs n Speed | Sep 10, 2019

That probably all depends on how fast you want your answer the best thing would be to call when they are open they'll be able to help you immediately as opposed to getting put on a list and not knowing when one will call back

My cat, Twizzler, has been gone for a week now, I still can’t find him, will a shelter call me if they find him? He has a microchip.

Ciara M | Sep 10, 2019

if i bring in a stray cat i took in this week because of weather my neighbor has one of her sisters so she is 4 Extremely friendly and affectionate uses the litter box i have allergies to cats so unfortunately she asked to go today any ideas??

Dan smith | Sep 10, 2019
Karen Reuther | Sep 10, 2019

If you keep the cat longer than (I believe) 2 weeks you technically become the owner of the cat and are responsible for it's welfare. You could surrender it to the shelter for a $45 surrender fee. They will evaluate it to see if it is healthy/adoptable, and if so they will take care of it until an adoption can be arranged. If you have the cat for a few days, you can call the Animal Control Officer to come pick it up and they will bring it to the shelter.

Does the shelter take food & blanket donations?

Cherie Frielinghaus | Sep 10, 2019
Karen Reuther | Sep 9, 2021

Blankets, yes. Preferably twin size, but definately welcome. They get washed daily so they must fit in the washer. Food is trickier as changing up the cats and dogs diet can result in stomach upset and diarrhea. Cats get Friskies. Dogs get Pedigree. If you bring something other than that it will be donated to a food bank. They cannot accept open bags of dry food. Thanks for asking!

Sorry, no. They do not perform grooming services for the public. Try PetSmart or someplace like that.

Is this a no-kill facility?

Suzanne Donovan | Sep 10, 2019
Karen Reuther | Sep 10, 2019

No, it is not. There is no such thing in NJ. If an animal is so sick they can't function, or so aggressive they pose a danger to the health of the human population, they have to be humanely euthanized.

Demetrius Kiprakis | Sep 10, 2018
Lori Gee | Sep 10, 2018

East Coast Spay and neuter clinic on hazlewood ave in Toms River, NJ

Can you recommend any facility that offers a free or low-cost rabies clinic for dogs in Ocean County? Thank you for any suggestions.

Debrah DiCenso | Sep 10, 2018
Karen Reuther | Sep 10, 2018

Jackson Shelter has free rabies clinics the 1st and 3rd Wednesday each month. Their sister shelter. In Manahawkin has them on the 2nd and 4th Wednesdays. They are always between 11 and 11:30am. You need to call to save a spot as they only have 60 shots available. If you bring proof of prior rabies shot you get a 3 yr shot, if you don't it's a 1 yr shot.

Hi i have a 20month old rottie. I'm looking for a good home for him can you help me?

Linda Greulich | Sep 10, 2018
Karen Reuther | Sep 10, 2018

If you'd like to surrender him, sure. It would cost $65 either exact cash or check that matches adress on drivers license. Bring proof of ownership and any vet records you may have. They are open 1 to 4pm 6 days a week and 1 to 6:30 on Wednesdays. They do not guarantee adoptions, but as long as the dog is healthy and passes the temperament test he should be adoptable.
