My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Adopt Tom – the total package!

Rescued as a lost dog, 2-year-old Tom has been turning heads ever since he arrived with his movie-star good looks. But he’s not just handsome—he’s smart too, happily showing off his commands if there are treats involved.

Tom is super playful and the more we get to know him, the more his fun-loving side shines. Tug is his favorite game, but he’s always up for a walk or meeting new people—he truly loves everyone he comes across. Treats, playtime, and plenty of attention are all this boy’s love language!

More about this shelter

The Associated Humane Societies rescues stray and homeless animals, both domestic and wildlife, providing quality care and sanctuary until loving homes can be found. As a community-based organization, we provide low-cost veterinary care and humane education to promote responsible pet guardianship throughout New Jersey.

For over a century we have offered a haven to abused and neglected animals. Founded in 1906, AHS is the largest animal sheltering system in New Jersey, operating three shelters located in Newark, Forked River, and Tinton Falls. Our Forked River facility also includes Popcorn Park. Established in 1977, Popcorn Park is a sanctuary for abandoned, injured, ill, exploited, abused or elderly wildlife, exotic and farm animals, and birds.

The Society is a not for profit, 501(c)3 organization and we take pride in our devotion to the thousands of animals that come through our doors looking for a better life.
