Located in Skillman and founded in 1941, SAVE has a long history of finding loving homes for countless dogs and cats. In 2024, the organization was once again recognized by Best Friends Animal Society for achieving no-kill status — a reflection of its ongoing commitment to the humane treatment of animals. This recognition is just one example of the exceptional care SAVE provides.
As a larger organization, SAVE is able to house up to approximately 75 cats and 25 dogs at any given time. With so many animals in their care, the staff understands the importance of providing individualized attention and ensuring each pet receives the best possible care while awaiting a compassionate forever home.
A core part of SAVE’s mission is to strengthen the human-animal bond. With countless successful placements over the years — especially in the greater Princeton area — they’ve seen firsthand the profound impact pets can have on people and communities.
From providing companionship to improving emotional well-being, animals truly enrich our lives. It’s a beautiful thing to have such an outstanding rescue organization right here in the Garden State.
Ghost
Ghost is a three-year-old Husky with a fun, adventurous spirit! He’s very social and loves going on outdoor adventures to new and exciting places. He’d make the perfect companion for someone who enjoys hiking or other active outings — he’s always up for the journey. That said, Ghost also appreciates his personal space and would do best with a family that respects his need for a little alone time now and then.
If you’re looking for an exciting, affectionate, and slightly mysterious new friend, be sure to come in and meet Ghost!
Everest
Everest is a sweet two-year-old tabby with an adorable pink nose and a beautiful gray and white coat. He may be a bit timid at first, but with patience and love, he’ll reveal his truly affectionate and mushy side. Once he feels safe, Everest absolutely loves to cuddle and even enjoys belly rubs.
Everest is FIV+ (Feline Immunodeficiency Virus), but don’t let that scare you — cats with FIV can still live long, healthy lives with regular veterinary checkups and proper care. If you’re looking for a cuddly, playful companion, consider giving Everest the safe and loving home he deserves!
