Associated Humane Societies rescues stray and homeless animals, both domestic and wildlife, providing quality care and sanctuary until loving homes can be found. As a community-based organization, we provide low-cost veterinary care and humane education to promote responsible pet guardianship throughout New Jersey. For over a century we have offered a haven to abused and neglected animals. Founded in 1906, The Associated Humane Societies is the largest animal sheltering system in New Jersey. We operate three shelters located in Newark, Forked River, and Tinton Falls.

Report

Established in 1906 from humble beginnings in Newark, NJ, the Society has grown and expanded to include two other shelters in Tinton Falls and Forked River, which is also the location of Popcorn Park. Literally millions of pets, wildlife, farm and exotic animals have called us home since that time.

Take a Chance on Me

Report

Take a chance on some of the dogs in our care! Our "Take a Chance" pups are dogs who have been in our care for a lengthy amount of time and just need some additional TLC. These dogs are available for rescues to pull, or skilled adopters to take on. Some of these dogs entered our care with less than ideal pasts.
