Newark AHS Animal Shelter ‘At Capacity,’ Here’s How You Can Help

NEWARK, NJ — Want to lend a hand to a busy animal shelter that’s been “running at capacity?”

Earlier this week, the Associated Humane Societies (AHS) Newark shelter announced on social media that it was “running at capacity daily.” Learn more about the Newark shelter, which is located at 124 Evergreen Avenue.

To help find its dogs and cats new homes, the AHS facility reduced adoption fees in an effort to “move animals out.” Rescue groups are welcome to pull, the shelter stated.

In addition, the AHS-Newark facility announced Wednesday that it’s accepting applications for a new foster program for cats and dogs directly through the shelter.

“Please share/spread the word and consider opening your home and heart to a shelter pet,” shelter staff wrote.

Meanwhile, the shelter and its supporters have continued to post photos and videos of adoptable animals and those seeking foster homes. Learn more about some in-need dogs and cats below.
