If you're looking to adopt an animal, go elsewhere. This place will make you draw blood and give your social security number. This place is the most disgusting place I've been too. It completely smells & the staff are undeniably rude. I called to make sure I had everything I needed before arriving. They said I would be able to take a cat home the same day. When I looked at the cats and had my heart set, the first woman who approached me told me the cat was neutered so I'd be able to take that cat home same day.

When I inquired about said cat at the front, they told me the cat was not neutered and it wouldn't be the same day. They also want your left arm & leg along with (if you rent - even a house) your landlords approval with a notarized letter. I didn't realize I was walking into the White House when I walked into this facility. Adopting a cat from a shelter that has 15+ cats should not be this difficult.

And this place was extremely disorganized for them to want all of my teeth ripped out and handed on a silver platter served with the finest wine. I go to say, don't waste your time because they will waste yours.

I am very grateful that this shelter will give away dogs and cats to other local shelters and rescue groups when they are full so some can be saved and not killed for space. We just got a dog that was pulled by a shelter in Morris County, NJ and we are very happy with her. The paperwork we got from AHS-Newark was a little confusing, was this dog a stray again or an owner surrender? Who knows? I called AHS-Newark yesterday to get their Veterinarian license number so I could complete a PA Lifetime License application which required the veterinarian license number for the shelter that implanted microchip.

The woman who answered the phone was not going to give me their veterinarian's license number because they no longer want to accept any liability for a dog that was transferred to another shelter. Giving this info was not going to make them liable for anything. Based on this conversation with this woman, I have a very poor opinion of the level of understanding and competency of the staff at this location.

The staff was nice and professional right now I am waiting for a cat to come home with me overall really good place Edit: Got my Cat and he is amazing thank you associated humane societies

I got my first dog, Very clean place for alot of animals that are there. Also the staff are good and firm with the pets do there was an incident I wasn't happy with but the dog was miss behaving. Also they give you a report of the animal and they neutered dogs and the cats and they won't let you go if you don't have all the appropriate papers.so call them first so they can answer your question. I will recommend anyone to go and check them out and donate to this awesome place.

Simply the BEST! Most caring individuals on the planet! I have adopted two dogs from this shelter and they have both been a joy to own.came FULLY VACCINATED with microchip and even clipped their nails. I traveled 200 miles to get my second dog from them. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

My daughter got her pitbull Honey from here and the staff was very nice. Honey is now in a happy home and when we took her back for a visit the staff was so happy to see her and she was happy to see them too. Thank you to everyone who helped my daughter with her adoption of Honey. she is a spoiled big baby.
