Severely understaffed and in the middle of kitten season, the shelter has had to lean heavily on the volunteers lately. The remaining employees are exhausted but still obviously have their heart in it. Anyone who has a little extra time and compassion, consider filling out a volunteer application. They could use people both for cats and dogs. You'll see firsthand how well the animals are cared for, and be able to enhance their welfare further yourself, as well.

As part of a rescue transport team, we picked up two pointers today from this shelter to help them begin their journey to their foster home in Tennessee. The staff here were very attentive to the pets. They were feeding and cleaning cages when we arrived. The place was clean and everything was in order for the transfer of the dogs when we arrived. The staff helped get the dogs into their harnesses and leashes and made sure we had all their proper paperwork to take with us. This is a very good shelter.

Keep this in mind... They have a strict policy of "First come first served" on adoptions... After taking a while am I chose 2 cats to adopt, I couldn't adopt the one cause not spayed yet, the other not sure what happened, got passed to a supervisor who wouldn't budge on their policy, so walked out with none. They were both unprofessional and cold.

I was a volunteer here and was very impressed with the staff and the volunteers because of how clean the facility is kept and how caring and knowledgeable the staff and volunteers are. A great animal shelter.

Per the website, all volunteers must be over 18. https://www.tomsrivertownship.com/Faq.aspx?QID=62
yes
Yes! There are lots of opporunities. Duties include dog walking, inside cat care, general cleaning outside and outside maintenance. You need to fill out an application first though.
That is cruel.
As per their Facebook page, they are indeed a no kill animal shelter
Go in during normal business hours and fill out a short paper application.
Actually I don't know but if you call them you might be able to do that
Not sure. My cat, as do all the cats, have a chip implanted. Then you have to go to the website and register your cat. Hope this helps.
They have very limited amount. I have visited twice in the last two weeks and no kittens were available. I suggest the Ocean County Shelter or a non-governmental shelter.
Call animal control they will help you.
