Lost Pet Guide
Oh No! I lost my pet!
If you have a lost pet, please call any of our shelters with a description of your pet at your earliest opportunity. Be sure to call your local police department’s non-emergency number and file a report with your local animal control group as well.
The Associated Humane Societies, under New Jersey State law, is required to hold stray animals for seven days. After the stray holding period is up, any stray animal can be put up for adoption, moved into a foster home, or transferred to another shelter.
