Paws on the Green

Paws on the Green, Inc. rescues animals on death row in local and rural shelters in the South. We are a New Jersey non-profit animal welfare organization that promotes the adoption of homeless animals regardless of age, breed or health condition. We strive to take the ones that other rescues and adopters leave behind either because the pet is a senior, has a health condition or has a disability.

If you would like to foster one of our animals, please visit our website and click "How You Can Help". The foster application can be found there.

Additional adoption info

Potential adopters must fill out an adoption application to be considered. All information about an adoptable pet can be found in their profile description, which is updated regularly. We can only respond to applicants that are considered a good match for a particular pet. Response time is approximately 1-5 days. Once you are contacted, we will move forward with the adoption process; this may include a phone interview, home visit and vet/personal references check.
