Animal Orphanage (AO) was founded in 1988, and we are a community shelter, providing services for cats and dogs for 26 towns across southern NJ, 22 of which are located in Camden County. That means when space allows, we are able to rescue cats & dogs from over-crowded, high-kill shelters and rescues. We work with local, regional and national shelters and rescue groups, saving lives wherever and wh
enever we can. More than half of the revenue necessary for operations is provided by a strong community of donors and supporters. An equally robust community of hard-working volunteers supports our experienced staff members in providing care for all of the animals that come through our doors. Please consider supporting our efforts at www.aonj.org/donate! AO provides municipal sheltering services for the towns of: Audubon, Barrington, Berlin Borough, Berlin Township, Cherry Hill, Chesilhurst, Clementon, Collingswood, Gibbsboro, Gloucester City, Haddonfield, Haddon Heights, Laurel Springs, Lawnside, Magnolia, Merchantville, Mount Ephraim, Stratford, Voorhees, Woodlynne and Waterford Twp. We also serve 4 municipalities in Salem County: Alloway, Elmer, Elsinboro, and Woodstown. We encourage you to visit us and meet our beloved orphans. While here you will see that we are at long last in our highly anticipated new facility! While the project is complete, we are still in need of funding. Please consider making a donation that will help us reach our goal of being debt-free! www.aonj.org/donate
Please note that we are closed to the public every MONDAY for deep cleaning and staff in-service training.
