Frequently asked questions
What is a nonprofit animal shelter?
These organizations are registered with the IRS as tax-exempt animal welfare charities, so donations are usually tax-deductible.
How many nonprofit animal shelters are in New Jersey?
We list 58 nonprofit animal shelters in New Jersey. Listed when the organization matches an IRS Exempt Organizations record for animal protection and welfare.
Why might an organization be missing from this list?
We only list an organization here when the source data, the official name or a verified correction confirms it. If you know one that belongs on this page, open its listing and use "Suggest a correction", or add it through our submission form.
How does adopting work?
Start on the shelter's or rescue's own website: most post their adoptable animals there and on Petfinder or Adopt-a-Pet. Visit or call to meet an animal, then fill in an adoption application. Expect to show a photo ID, and if you rent, proof that your landlord allows pets. The adoption fee usually covers spay or neuter surgery, first vaccinations and a microchip. Fees vary by organization and by animal, so ask the shelter directly.
