The Ocean County Health Department manages two animal facilities that offer temporary housing for dogs and cats.

All cats and dogs available for adoption are spayed or neutered, microchipped, up to date on age-appropriate vaccinations, and undergo a general health examination by a veterinarian.
Before you go
Adopting from this shelter
Adoption process
The adoption fees are $55 for cats and $60 for dogs. Each pet we adopt out is spayed or neutered, microchipped, up to date on age-appropriate vaccinations, and has received a general health examination from our veterinarian. To adopt, you must be at least 18 years old and provide a valid form of identification. Additionally, you need to present proof of home ownership or a lease or rental agreement that includes a clear pet policy. All members of your household must visit and meet the pet before the adoption is finalized. If you are adopting a dog and already have dogs at home, those dogs must also come in for a meeting.
