List of Some County Rescues in NJ

If any organization is not willing to answer your questions or will not let you see their facility or foster homes, DO NOT LEAVE YOUR ANIMAL WITH THEM! Unfortunately, some well-intentioned people in rescue get in over their head and take in far too many animals and keep them in substandard conditions. It is your responsibility to be sure that you do not leave your animal at such a place.

We would appreciate being made aware of any corrections, additions or input regarding this list. Please email us. Thank you.
