As we begin this new chapter following the merger of FOMTAS (now Friends of Montclair Animals) and Partners in Animal Welfare, we’re proud to continue expanding our mission of supporting New Jersey-based shelters and rescues when animals need specialized, lifesaving care.

One of the first organizations we’re proud to support in this next chapter is New Life Animal Rescue—and one very special dog named Rocky. 💙

Rocky came into the care of New Life Animal Rescue after being surrendered with an intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (IHPSS)—a serious congenital liver condition requiring careful medical management and, ultimately, complex surgery.

Over the past several months, New Life has worked tirelessly to give Rocky every opportunity to succeed. He’s been maintained on a strict prescription diet, receives ongoing supplements and medical care, and has undergone regular bloodwork and weight checks while preparing for surgery.

Now, that Rocky is finally ready for the next step, Partners in Animal Welfare was honored to provide a medical support grant to help offset the cost of Rocky’s lifesaving surgical repair, helping ensure finances wouldn’t stand in the way of the care he deserves.

Rocky’s story reflects exactly why Partners in Animal Welfare exists. By partnering with organizations across New Jersey, we help relieve the financial burden of extraordinary medical cases so shelters and rescues can focus on what they do best—saving lives.

We’re grateful to New Life Animal Rescue for their unwavering commitment to Rocky and can’t wait to follow his recovery as he takes the next step toward the healthy, happy life every dog deserves.

We’re also deeply grateful to our donors, whose continued support makes it possible for Partners in Animal Welfare to stand beside New Jersey shelters and rescues, helping animals like Rocky receive the lifesaving care they deserve.

With your support, Friends of the Montclair Township Animal Shelter has played a meaningful role in helping animals in our community. Over time, the need has only grown, and so has our commitment to meeting it.

Building on that momentum, we are excited to share that FOMTAS has evolved into Friends of Montclair Animals (FOMAS), a dedicated program of Partners in Animal Welfare, a New Jersey-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.

This new chapter allows us to do more for animals in need through stronger resources, broader reach, and the same compassion and commitment that has guided this work from the beginning.

What's Staying the Same:

🔹The Montclair Township Animal Shelter will continue to receive support through Friends of Montclair Animals.

🔹Our commitment to Montclair remains unchanged: prioritizing the most at-risk animals and helping ensure they receive the care and support needed to remain safely in homes or transition into new ones.

What's New for FOMAS:

🔹Friends of Montclair Animals will also support Montclair-area rescues providing medical care for animals in need, transporting animals from overcrowded shelters, and placing senior pets into loving homes.

🔹Funding will additionally support senior residents facing financial barriers to caring for the pets they love.

🔹Operating as a program of Partners in Animal Welfare provides greater stability, flexibility, and capacity to respond to emerging needs while preserving our local identity and mission.

🔹As part of Partners in Animal Welfare, donors will also have the option, entirely by choice, to support broader animal welfare initiatives across New Jersey.

We are deeply grateful for the role you have played in this journey, and we are excited to carry this work forward in a way that allows us to help even more animals in need!

Hi friends,

Wildlife baby season is upon us, and we’re reaching out in advance to build our “power list” of people who may be able to assist with transporting wildlife to the appropriate licensed rehabilitators.

During this time of year, we often receive calls about injured or orphaned wildlife that need to be transferred quickly to the proper rehab facilities. Having a small network of reliable transport volunteers makes a huge difference for these animals.

If you are willing to help with occasional wildlife transports, please let us know. Most transports are within a reasonable driving distance and we will always provide the contact information and instructions for the receiving rehabilitator.

Thank you, as always, for being such an important part of helping wildlife in our community. Please see the sign up info below.
