Mount Pleasant Animal Shelter in East Hanover, NJ

Mount Pleasant Animal Shelter is located at 194 Route 10 West in East Hanover, New Jersey, in Morris County, roughly 10 miles southeast of Newark, and is one of 19 animal shelters and rescues serving the Morris County area. The shelter envisions a community where abused, neglected, and homeless animals no longer exist, and works to build partnerships between people and organizations to save today's at-risk cats and dogs while preventing future homelessness. Its staff includes adoption counselors, certified trainers, and animal care specialists who help match dogs, puppies, cats, and kittens with adoptive families, and adopted pets go home spayed or neutered and with their starter shots already completed. Beyond adoptions, Mt. Pleasant offers fostering, a pet food bank, and pet surrender services to support animals and their owners in the community.
