    Animal Shelters in Jersey City, NJ

    Jersey City has nine listed animal shelters and rescue organizations, in Hudson County. The mix is fairly even between rescue organizations and animal shelters. Hoboken and New York City, NY, both within about four miles, have listings of their own. There is no shortage of choice in Jersey City — old dogs, shy cats, and a fair few who will pick you first.

    Jersey City has nine listed at the moment, and they are shown above with the ones that have photos first. Open any of them for the full address, contact details and opening hours.

    A mix of both, and the difference is worth knowing before you set out. A rescue usually places animals from a network of foster homes rather than from premises you can walk into, so you generally arrange a meeting first. A shelter or humane society more often has a facility you can visit during opening hours.

    The Jersey City listings all fall in Hudson County, which is worth knowing if you are checking whether a shelter takes animals from your area.

    If nothing here suits, Hoboken, New York City and Bayonne all have listings within about four miles. Each one links through from the sidebar.

    Every listing here carries a phone number, and most link to the organization's own website. Calling ahead is worth it — opening hours change, and rescues often work by appointment rather than keeping a building open.
