What is the process in giving my pet up to the shelter?

An appointment is mandatory for the relinquishment of animals. Pets are only accepted from Toms River Township residents. A fee of $50 is required per animal.

Please take into consideration when your elderly pet can no longer be taken care of, the kindest thing an owner can do is take it to your local veterinarian since being in a shelter is traumatic both a unhealthy for young animals and unbearable for senior pets.
