We have a very special Boxer boy. His name is Brody, and it was really weird. He's such a good boy. He was with us longer than he should have been. He's good with other dogs. He's very social period there are no behavioral issues or medical issues. In other words, he should have found a forever home within the first couple of weeks.He was with us a good 6 months, now we know why! He was waiting for his mommy.. Sherri n Brody are a match. They've already begun a very special bond.

We never know what we're gonna be called upon to care for at the Montclair Township Animal Shelter. This pretty girl came in a couple of days ago.Officer Jones is moving her into a temporary kennel so we can clean her tank to ensure her comfort.. FYI .We housed our two Guinea pigs on the first floor and although the Snake was in another room and could not open a door to get to the Guinea pigs. Animals can smell and sense that each other is there. We want all animals to feel safe and secure... our piggy's have moved to the second floor where they are safe and sound.

Just a snip it of a day in the life. When people think about animal shelters sometimes there is a misconception about the workers ,the commitment or the care an animal receives. We just had to share this snippet in time of our Doctor Houston snuggling with Fiona. Cameron Animal Hospital We continue to ensure the safety and well being of every animal that comes into our facility! Any chance we get we take the time to snuggle in! These animals are loved and they know it. Montclair Township Animal Shelter Friends of the Montclair Township Animal Shelter
