Our Story
Founded in 1939, St. Hubert’s Animal Welfare Center operates animal shelters in Madison, North Branch and the Noah's Ark Campus in Ledgewood NJ. We welcome animals directly from guardians, animals rescued by our animal control officers, from overcrowded shelters across New Jersey, from disaster situations, and from distance partners.
Our nationally renowned Training and Behavior Center, located at our Madison campus, offers specialized training classes and behavior consultations.
Additionally, St. Hubert’s provides a variety of community services including pet adoption, humane education, a pet food pantry, low-cost spay/neuter of community cats and a professional education series. We regularly advocate for animal welfare legislation and work to engage our community to help us protect animals in N.J. and beyond.
In addition to our role as a nonprofit organization, St. Hubert’s provides animal control services to a number of municipalities in Somerset and Morris counties. Officers assist domestic animals and wildlife in need, and provide educational information to reduce human-wildlife conflicts.
St. Hubert’s Animal Welfare Center is a registered 501(c) (3) non-profit organization—Federal Tax ID 22-1627726. Our animal welfare and community service programs are supported by contributions, grants and bequests for program continuation and expansion.
