New Jersey shelters offer $50 adoption fees for dogs

NEW JERSEY (PIX11) – Three New Jersey animal shelters are hoping to find loving homes for dogs at their shelter by offering $50 adoption all weekend long, Associated Humane Societies announced on Friday.

“Adopting an adult dog comes with numerous benefits,” read a statement provided by AHS. Adult dogs are typically past the puppy stage, meaning they often require less training and are more likely to be housebroken. They are also eager to become part of a family and bring immediate joy and companionship.”

Those interested in adopting are encouraged to take advantage of this limited-time promotion, during which staff and volunteers will be on hand to assist in the adoption process.

AHS Community Shelters location :

• 124 Evergreen Ave, Newark, NJ 07114
• 2960 Shafto Rd, Tinton Falls, NJ 07735
• 1 Humane Way, Forked River, NJ 08731

Associated Humane Societies rescues stray and homeless animals, both domestic and wildlife, and provides quality care until a loving home can be found.
