In operation for 43 years, the Jersey Shore Animal Shelter in Brick is an organization committed to excellence. With a mission of helping as many abused and/or sick animals as possible, this shelter may be a smaller nonprofit but one where they truly do big things for the animals.
This rescue is filled with dedicated staff, volunteers, and donors, all of whom play a part in keeping this loving and professional shelter alive.
A fun fact about the Jersey Shore Animal Shelter is that it used to be a small house before being made into the compassionate nonprofit it is today. Shelter staff member Laurie let us know that right now there is a crisis for homeless pets. It has been taking longer for animals to find homes and a lot of shelters in the area are at maximum capacity.
This crisis may be attributed to the pandemic because, at the time, a lot of people were adopting dogs and cats, but lately it has slowed down. They have over 60 pets right now that need homes. The Jersey Shore Animal Shelter has a furry friend right now for anyone seeking a new companion.
MARTHA
Martha is a Torti cat. She has been residing at the shelter for eight months now. She does not like being in her cage and is ready to give lots of love to her human. She is happiest as a pet in a home with no other animals. At only three years old, this is the perfect time to adopt this sweet young cat.
RUBY
Ruby is a beautiful hound mix. She has spent a whole year so far at the shelter. A lot of times she gets overlooked while she has been looking for a home. Those who take the time to get to know her will be shown how loving and loyal she is. Ruby needs a home with comfort and patience. This summer would be the perfect time for Ruby to have a new beginning.
