Gloucester County Animal Shelter
Providing animal adoptions, animal control and emergency services and humane education. Contact us today! (856) 881-2828
Our goals are to promote humane care and treatment of all animals, seek responsible, loving homes for animals, reduce pet overpopulation by encouraging people to spay and neuter their pets, provide lost and found services by reuniting pets with their families and to protect animals from cruelty and neglect.
The Gloucester County Animal Shelter opened it's doors in July 1990 as a public service provided by the Gloucester County Board of Chosen Freeholders. We provide both animal control services and animal shelter services to the twenty-four towns of Gloucester County.
We work closely with other local and state wide animal welfare organizations to better aid the animals in our county. We also operate 2 off-site adoption centers located in the Petsmart stores in Turnersville & Mantua, New Jersey. These sites are staffed completely by volunteers and result in over 600 animal adoptions each year.

Angel - Enjoys DooWop music and golden oldies
Much prefers staying home to going out
Has a brandy every night before bed
Doesn’t appreciate critters on his lawn
Thinks technology is overrated and good
old fashioned manners are EVERYTHING
Angel is the longest term resident at Gloucester County Animal Shelter. He’s a very sweet, loving and obedient boy who is a 100% people-pleaser ❤️he needs to be the only pet in his home but has done well with seniors and would be fine with older kids as well. Let’s get this guy adopted 🙏💕🐾
*******FYI he has partial training as a service dog and was featured in People magazine a few months ago during the clear the shelter event*****

Animal control was dispatched to Washington township for a hawk trapped in between two fences today.
Once our Officer arrived, she safely freed him from the fence 🙃🙂 The Hawk thankfully sustained no injures during entrapment 😃
Its Unknown how long he was in that position for, but he will recover with us overnight 😃 Tomorrow he will be released back into the wild!

Meet Arlo! This handsome feller is renting a room at the Gloucester County Animal Shelter while waiting for his person/family. 👌🏽 For Arlo’s success, a dog interaction must take place if you already have a dog member of the family:) Like me with other humans, he is selective. 🤷🏼♀️ He may chase cats, so yeah... if you have cats Arlo may not be your boy. BUT, if you don’t, he is good with kids 12+ due his size and strength. He’s cute and fun! 👏🏽
