A small, family-friendly, no-kill animal shelter located in Lindenwold, NJ. Our shelter is 100% funded by donations.

Tues-Fri 11am-6pm
Sat-Sun 11am-5pm
Closed Monday Animal Adoption Center was founded by Sid Kreitzberg in 1990. Sid is Chairman Emeritus of our board of trustees, and still actively involved with the shelter. In 1985 Sid and a group of 43 volunteers were traveling daily into Camden, NJ to feed sick and starving dogs and cats. At the time Camden was overflowing with stray and abandoned animals, and Sid and his friends set up feeding stations throughout the city to meet the need. His group eventually formed the non-profit Friends of Camden Animal Shelter (FOCAS). FOCAS learned that the SPCA in Lindenwold, NJ was planning to sell their shelter building on Berlin Rd. Camden County purchased the facility and turned it over to FOCAS for one dollar. FOCAS agreed to continue to rescue animals from Camden County communities, and they reincorporated as the Animal Adoption Center (AAC) in 1991. The first board of trustees designated the shelter as a no-kill facility, and it remains so to this day. Their groundbreaking decision predated the public birth of the modern no-kill movement in San Francisco by three years, and was unheard of in the field of animal control at the time. AAC expanded throughout the 1990’s, improving both the property and infrastructure. The facility can comfortably house 32 cats and 41 dogs, and has found homes for more than 16,000 animals since 1990.

Rain, wind, and chilly temperatures couldn't stop our incredible community from showing up for the animals at this year's Bark on the Boards Block Party! Together, we raised $185,000 to support the most vulnerable animals who count on us. 🏖🐶

We’re incredibly grateful to our sponsors and community partners, especially presenting sponsor Browseabout Books, who graciously welcomed our Yoga with Puppies sessions into their store when the weather turned. Thank you to our vendors, registrants, yogis, Delmarva DockDogs, adopters, and everyone who braved the elements to celebrate with us. A special shoutout to our emcee, Madeleine Overturf of CoastTV News, the talented young performers from Clear Space Theatre Company, the Bachelor Boys Band, and queens Aura Iris and friends for bringing the party spirit to the bandstand! 🏄‍♂️🌊

As our largest annual fundraising event in Sussex County, Bark on the Boards makes a world of difference for the animals in our community. Every dollar raised helps us provide lifesaving care to more than 30,000 animals who will rely on us this year. To every sponsor, partner, and supporter who stood with us, rain or shine, thank you for being part of their story. We truly couldn't do it without you! ❤🐾
