Amazon Donates 700 Pet Items To Woodbridge Animal Shelter

WOODBRIDGE, NJ — This past Monday, May 20, Amazon donated more than 700 pet-related items to the Woodbridge Animal Shelter.

The donation was made specifically from Amazon’s fulfillment center located in Edison. Amazon employees from the Edison warehouse were at the shelter Monday, where they met with Woodbridge Mayor John McCormac, as well as shelter employees and its many volunteers.

The donation included dog and cat food as well as animal chew toys. Afterwards, Amazon associates walked dogs and played with the animals.

"We appreciate the generosity of Amazon, as this large donation of pet supplies will go to excellent use in our animal shelter," said Mayor McCormac. "We always encourage our corporate citizens to give back to the Township and appreciate this strong, ongoing relationship with Amazon."

The Woodbridge Animal Shelter rescues animals from throughout the region, not just Woodbridge. The shelter contracts out its services to many municipalities in the area, and they take in dogs, cats and other animals that have been neglected or abused from throughout Central New Jersey.

The shelter is located at 195 Woodbridge Avenue in Sewaren.

“At Amazon, we are dedicated to giving back to the communities where our employees live and work,” said Felipe Santos, Senior Operations Manager at Amazon. “We’re proud to support the Woodbridge Animal Shelter & Pet Adoption Center and thank them for the great work they do for the animals in our community.”
