Rescue FAQs

Saving those who need us most NJSH Pet Rescue is a foster based 501(c)(3) dog and cat rescue located in Chester, New Jersey.

We provide our dogs and cats an abundance of love and patience, the highest level of veterinary care and positive reinforcement training. We believe these principles give our adoptable dogs and cats the best opportunity to have a smooth and successful transition to their forever home.
We promote our belief that a healthy, well-trained dog and educated adopter has the greatest chance of successful adoption.

We primarily rescue New Jersey dogs and place them ONLY within 60 minutes of Chester New Jersey. We do this so we can continue to be a resource for our adopters well after the adoption happens.
