pet for their home
• Support other animals welfare organizations and rescues

Endeavor to make the JSAC a place of refuge, safety, love and kindness for animals awaiting adoption. The Jersey Shore Animal Center is not affiliated with, nor a partner with any other shelter. We do not receive funds from the Humane Society of the United States, The ASPCA, the New Jersey SPCA or the Associated Humane Society. The Jersey Shore Animal Center is governed by a volunteer Board of Directors and employs 15 full and part time personnel. The Jersey Shore Animal Center has an active and dedicated group of more than 100 volunteers who continue to make our shelter a success. The Jersey Shore Animal Center NO LONGER provides animal control services for the Township of Brick and the Borough of Mantoloking.

JSAC family...please keep sharing, Randall needs your help – A Big Boy with an Even Bigger Heart ❤️

Randall’s story is one of love, loss, and resilience. After being at our shelter for close to one year, Randall was adopted from us back in 2021 and lived a wonderful life with his dad—until tragedy struck earlier this year. In February, Randall’s beloved young owner suddenly passed away at home, leaving him alone for days before authorities were called for a wellness check. We can’t begin to imagine the heartbreak and confusion this sweet boy has endured. 💔

With no family able to take him in, a close friend has agreed to "foster" Randall while we search for his perfect new home but we really need to find his forever home. Randall is 7 years old and weighing around 60+ lbs, Randall is a big, lovable guy who thrives in a home with a fenced yard where he can explore and relax. He has lived mostly as a single pet but previously enjoyed doggie daycare, so while he may like other dogs, we believe he’ll do best as the only pet in his new home. No cats, please! Kids also make him a bit nervous, so an adult-only home is best.
Despite everything he has been through, Randall is still a fun-loving, sweet-as-can-be pup who deserves a second chance at happiness. We just want to help heal his heart and give him a fresh start. If you’re interested in meeting this wonderful boy, please fill out an application, and we’d love to arrange a meet-and-greet. 💙

Cat Chatter: Dallas, the energetic black kitten, is now living his best life with a family of his own and we couldn't be happier! 🐾😻

Thank you to his new family for giving him the love, patience, and home he deserves. 🙏♥️

"We adopted Dallas in April 2025. He quickly stole our hearts. In the short time we have had him he has made our lives complete. His brother is so happy to have him since he lost his Pal a year ago. We love him dearly and are very happy we adopted him. I would advise anyone thinking of adoption to please do it ASAP." - Chris & Lana

🐾 Meet Baby! 🐾

This 7½-year-old gentle giant came to us from an overcrowded NJ shelter, and now he’s ready to find a loving home of his own. At 18 lbs, Baby is working on shedding a few pounds—but don’t worry, his recent bloodwork came back totally normal!

He may be shy at first, but don’t let that stop you from meeting this sweet soul. With a soft voice, gentle pets, and a little patience, Baby starts to blossom. He’s learning to be more confident every day and has so much love to give.

Baby would thrive in a calm, quiet home with someone who understands that the best things take time. If you’re looking for a mellow, affectionate companion, Baby could be your perfect match. 💕

Our tiny king has found his forever throne (aka someone’s lap 😍). We are thrilled for this sweet 8-pound lovebug, who waited patiently for the right person to come along.

Wishing Chico a lifetime of snuggles, walks, and little-dog-sized adventures! 🐾💛

Thank you for choosing adoption!
