Bergen County Animal Shelter
About Our Shelter
We are a county operated shelter providing animal control to 44 communities in Bergen County. We accept owned animals for a fee from our contracted communities. If space permits, we will accept owned animals from other Bergen County towns. Before bringing in a stray, call the police department of the town in which the animal is found to determine the appropriate agency that provides animal control for that community. The Shelter is a Division of Department of Health Services.
Come Meet our Pets
DOG PARADE
Every Sunday at 1pm Don’t let that perfect companion pass you by! Stop by the Bergen County Animal Shelter’s Doggie Parade every Sunday at 1pm to get up close and personal with some of our furry friends. See their true personality shine - and maybe even a few tricks - while they’re out of their kennels! Our volunteers have the inside scoop on the dogs and can often show you a side that you may miss just walking by their kennel. So – take 15 minutes to join us! You never know – you could wind up meeting your perfect match! Our Adoption Process
We are open 7 days a week from 1-5pm and Thursdays 1-8pm.
Fees and how to adopt may be found here: http://www.co.bergen.nj.us/bcas/adoptions.html Dog adoption and cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog or adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life! What is the difference between adopting a dog, adopting a cat, adopting a kitten or adopting a puppy versus getting dogs for sale, cats for sale, puppies for sale or kittens for sale from a dog breeder or a cat breeder? When someone is breeding puppies or breeding kittens, they are creating new dogs and cats who need homes. Some people are interested in a very specific breed of dog, cat, puppy or kitten and they think the only way to find that specific breed is to buy a dog for sale or buy a cat for sale from a puppy breeder or a kitten breeder. Yet animal shelters are filled with dogs and cats who must find homes. So rather than buying a dog or puppy for sale from a dog breeder or buying a cat or kitten for sale from a cat breeder, we encourage people to adopt a dog, adopt a cat, adopt a puppy or adopt a kitten at their local animal shelter, SPCA, humane society or pet rescue group. |
