Areas The Shelter Animal Project serves

Most of our dogs come from over-populated shelters in New Jersey, but we are happy to adopt to out-of-state residents.

The Shelter Animal Project's adoption process

Additional adoption info

To adopt a dog, please fill out a screening form. An adoption coordinator should be in touch with you within 48 hours to update you on the status of your application. Our adoption fee is $250 and adopters are asked to fill out an contract at the time of adoption. All dogs are fully vaccinated, have been micro-chipped, and are spayed/neutered prior to being adopted.
You can fill out a SCREENING APPLICATION at http://www.theshelteranimalproject.com/forms/dog-adoption-screening-form.html

About The Shelter Animal Project

Our goal is to give every homeless dog a fresh start in a forever home. Each of our dogs undergoes a thorough temperament test prior to being placed up for adoption. Our adoption coordinators are all dedicated volunteers and take the task of helping you find your new companion very seriously. Please reach out to us if you have any questions!

Support adoption and rescue. Why go to a dog breeder, cat breeder or pet store to buy a dog or buy a cat when you can adopt?

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 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.
