About Our Rescue Group:

The Volunteer Auxiliary For Animal Shelters, Inc. is a non-profit organization run solely by dedicated volunteers committed to helping shelter animals. Our mission is to increase adoptions and decrease euthanization at the Northern Ocean County Animal Shelter in Jackson. A large part of our adoptions are done at off-site locations, staffed solely by volunteers. These locations have enabled us to place many animals in loving homes.

Foster families for cats and kittens and Petsmart adoption volunteers are currently needed. If you are interested in volunteering, please email volaux@yahoo.com. If you would like to make a donation, we are a 501(c) 3 corporation and listed as a charitable organization. Your donation is tax deductable. Please address your donation to The Volunteer Auxiliary 615 Freemont Ave. Jackson New Jersey 08527. Your donations give sick, injured and homeless animals a chance. If you would like to donate items we are in need of kitten milk replacement (KMR brand), dry/wet cat food, cat beds.

Why should you adopt?

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 cat or kitten versus getting cats for sale or kittens for sale from a cat breeder? When someone is breeding kittens, they are creating new cats who need homes. Some people are interested in a very specific breed of cat or kitten and they think the only way to find that specific breed is to buy a cat for sale from a kitten breeder. Yet animal shelters are filled with cats who must find homes. So rather than buying a cat or kitten for sale from a cat breeder, we encourage people to adopt a cat or adopt a kitten at their local animal shelter, SPCA, humane society or pet rescue group.
