Municipal Shelter for Local Animals ONLY
I took a kitten away from a neighbor that wanted to kill it,
I called here to ask if they would take it and they said that they only take local animals, as they are a municipal shelter.
They advised I call Animal Welfare Society, Voorhees, NJ, a no kill shelter. 1 - 856 - 424 - 2288
They say there is a waiting list for all shelters and I would have to keep the kitten until a place became available. -
Great Place
The staff is excellent. In addition to knowing about each animal there, they are also very knowledgable on dog behavior and training. Because of the location, the dogs are walked 3 times a day, and as such, are very socialized and walk well on leashes.
I also liked that they are very thorough--they called my vet do not allow an animal to be adopted without meeting all family memebers (including other dogs in the house).
I would definately suggest stopping by if you are looking for a family pet that you will be happy with (and that will be happy with you). -
Not worth the trouble!
I was planning on adopting a kitten for my daughter's 5th birthday. I visited this shelter, and seen the perfect kitten for our family. I had filled out an application and called back after the weekend. It was all my daughter talked about the past 4 days, I was denied because I did not have a vet listed on the application. I had never owned a pet, other than when I was a little girl myself, so I never needed a vet!! When I contacted a vet in my area, and called the shelter back, they were then saying "things that I said during the interview process were not acceptable." I do not remember having an interview. I remember saying how adorable all the cats were, and wish I could take them all home with me...maybe thats cruelty?? Im confused. I wasnt able to speak to a manager because she wasnt in the office at the time, and "it wouldnt matter anyway because all of her decisions are final!." The staff was very nice, at the office, but very rude over the phone, not willing to further explain what was "said" during this fake interview. I would absolutely not recommend this shelter to anyone! Im tired of seeing commercials on TV about animals in shelters that need loving homes, and when one comes along, we're denied because of something that I supposedly said that Im not even aware of! Now, my daughters birthday is 10 days away and I'm in need of finding another kitten.
