Secaucus Animal Shelter

Very professional and kind. Our neighborhood cat was hit by a car. Andrew from animal control came to pick her up so that she can get medical attention. He understood right away that she was not just a feral cat. He took her to the vet and followed up with me on how she was doing. The vet tried to help but her injuries were too severe. I believe the people of animal shelter did all they could to help her. Support the animal shelter! They are doing good work!

As someone who has been here before, Yesterday I felt SO unwelcome and uncomfortable standing at the front door. No wonder people shop and don’t adopt! I 110% understand that the staff were getting the dogs ready to “go out”, but I had also asked to see any cats or kittens available. I was told they don’t do “looking around” and I had to go on Facebook and choose an animal and fill out an application. Just my personal opinion but when looking for your long time friend, I want to be able to interact and feel comfortable about taking an animal home, not just pick a cute face on Facebook. I also know staff members don’t want to waste there time on someone or a couple who they don’t think is a fit (which again looks can’t tell you much about how a family would treat an animal) ,but having to stand at the front door and explain my life story to 3 not so friendly people was unbelievably uncomfortable and off putting. We were welcomed to come back but only if we had filled out an application for a specific animal. Overall my experience yesterday was very off putting and makes me realize why it’s so much easier for people to spend 3,000$ on a pet then to try to jump through all these hoops just to adopt. I will still be “looking” for a furever friend but definitely not here.

In response to Mr. Carrington’s review - The Secaucus Animal Shelter was open the day you abandoned your cat outside the facility with numerous staff inside. For someone claiming they don’t condone the mistreatment of animals or animal abuse, you left your cat in a crate with the door wide open for him to escape and possibly (and god forbid) get hurt. When the staff discovered the cat, he was under one of the parked cars, scared and traumatized. So please, if your going to give a story, give the right story because animal abandonment - we don’t tolerate it.

We had a great experience at Secaucus Animal Shelter. We had recently lost our beloved dog of nine years (also a rescue) and were looking to fill the hole in our hearts with a new furry family member. Chris guided us to our new pup and helped us facilitate a smooth and quick adoption for Latte (aka Scout). I think that both Scout and our family are settling in quite nicely and are happy to have found each other!
