Save A Mutt Kennel - NJ transport - cats & dogs rescue in Sussex, NJ

Rescue FAQs

Please ask the volunteer who handles your adoption about the transport option to Sussex if none of the stops offered by our regular transporter is not an option. We do have an alternate transporter who can deliver to our location in Sussex.

Most of our dogs and cats are located in NC and VA until they are adopted. It is much easier for us to foster them in the location where we save them from the area kill shelters than to stress them with a very long ride right off the bat. It is less stressful for the animal to be transported straight to the adopter where they can settle in to their forever home without worrying about being bounced around the country 3 or 4 times first. We can transport to our NJ location once adopted if the pet you are interested in is not already there. We have several delivery points in most North Eastern States.

NOTICE TO ALL POTENTIAL ADOPTERS:

1-We reserve the right to back out of any adoption at our discretion at any point during the adoption process! In the event we decide to back out of an adoption we will refund all fees paid to us, including the deposit!

2-We want everyone to know that it is FIRST COME FIRST serve among the APPROVED adopters. Who ever gets their deposit to us FIRST will get the rescue pet. We have always done it this way and we will continue to do it this way. We are honest and fair about it! That means who REALLY gets the deposit to us FIRST will be the one who gets the pet REGARDLESS!!!!!!!!!!! We can not and simply will not take a chance on anyone dragging their feet and causing a pet to miss out on their forever home. So, we will NOT hold any pet WITHOUT a deposit! Please read #1 above again. If you do not agree with this please do not apply! The fact is these are OUR animals. We care for them until they find their forever home. We have a lot of time and money invested in each rescue pet, many times we have much more invested than the meager adoption fee we charge. We have the right to decide where the animal will go. They belong to US until they leave our care!
