Discounts Remain For Gloucester County Animal Shelter Pets

GLOUCESTER COUNTY, NJ — The Gloucester County Animal Shelter is still offering discounted fees for animals that are up for adoption.

Adoption fees for dogs and cats 6 years old and younger will be reduced to $35 until further notice, the animal shelter announced. Adoption fees for dogs and cats older than 6 will be completely waived.

“Right now, we want to encourage our residents to explore the shelter and see if one of the animals is right for your home,” Gloucester County Freeholder Director Robert M. Damminger said. “We’re overjoyed by the number of animals that have found forever homes during the COVID-19 pandemic.”

Any Gloucester County residents who are interested in adoption should call the animal shelter at 856-853-2828 to confirm availability. Adoption applications should be filled out and submitted online. The shelter has 30 animals available for adoption, including 23 cats, six dogs and a rabbit.

“In addition to discounted adoptions, residents can also take advantage of our Pet Food Pantry,” Gloucester County Freeholder Deputy Director Frank J. DiMarco said. “We created this food pantry to help keep our pets in your homes. This is a very stressful time for many, and we’re thankful to everyone who donated so our shelves are stocked, and we can start helping our residents in need.”

Residents can drop off donations to the Pet Food Pantry at the front of the Gloucester County Animal Shelter, 1200 North Delsea Drive in Clayton. For more information on the Gloucester County Animal Shelter, visit www.gloucestercountynj.gov.
