Voorhees Animal Orphanage (VAO) was founded in 1988, and we are a community shelter, providing services for cats and dogs for 28 towns across southern NJ, 19 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 where

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.

Baxter is a handsome, one year old, Black Lab-mix with the shiniest coat! He is a little shy here in the shelter environment, however he warms up fast! Baxter will do great in a home with another dog to play with and help him build his confidence. He is smart and eager to learn. His ideal home is one with older dog-savvy children and a fenced yard. Come meet Baxter at the VAO today!

We're just wild about Benji! This 5 year old handsome fellow was found as a stray and is one of the friendliest cats you will meet. We think he must've been somebody's baby at one time, but since nobody has come to claim him, we are going to find him the purrfect home. Benji is such an easygoing guy and will fit right into most families. We can't say enough good things about him! If you're looking for a lovable companion, please go to our website and send us your application for Benji today. He'll be waiting for you at PetSmart on Rte 73 in West Berlin, NJ and he hopes to see you soon! 🐾

YES, these pictures are the same dog! 😭 Poor Spinner came to us in horribly neglected condition, but thanks to our FABULOUS volunteer groomer he is looking and feeling so much better. 🫧✂️

Spinner is a mini Golden-Doodle who is looking for the right home. Although Spinner is aged at 2 1/2 he acts like a puppy. He was kept in a crate and not treated like a beloved family pet. The good news is that Spinner now gets a new lease on life. We are looking for an owner with the patience to teach Spinner the house rules. Another dog will certainly help him to build confidence. He does require a fenced yard for his safety.
Spinner deserves all the love a sweet little dog could ask for! ❤️ Ask to see him soon.

Octavius is a 6 year old tabby miss who originally came to us as a stray. She was adopted but was sadly surrendered through no fault of her own, and she is ready to love again. She can be shy at first, but once she warms up, she is quite the lovable little girl. We think she'll do best in a quieter home with older kids, and she'll need time to settle into her new surroundings. If you'd like to give a gentle adult cat a chance at a new life, please stop by the VAO and ask to meet Octavius. 💕

Scotty is a 2 year old Blue Bully-mix. This handsome hunk is a very nice boy with a great medium energy. His sister Pebbles was here and got adopted quickly due to her oh-so-sweet demeanor. Scotty has a very similar personality and is going to make a great family dog. He absolutely loves being with people and leans in for affection 💕He is dog and kid friendly too.
Do not pass Scotty by! Stop by the VAO to meet him soon.

They need proper socialization & training, and most of all, lots of love! But if you are willing to put in the work, they promise you a lifetime of love in return!
Come meet Dasher & Dancer & Prancer & V***n. Comet & Cupid & Donner & Blitzen, and Rudolph of course, at the Ho-Ho-Ho-VAO today!

If you like orange tabbies, we think you will love Buster. This 15 year old dear fellow was recently surrendered when his owner passed away. He seems to find comfort curling up in the back of his cage for his naps and enjoys playing with his catnip toys. When we open his door to pet him, he comes to greet us and leans into our hands for some love. If you're looking to make a difference in the life of a very nice senior cat, please stop by the Voorhees Animal Orphanage and ask for Buster. 🧡

Our Shelter’s Tail.

Get to Know the VAO

The Voorhees Animal Orphanage (“VAO”) is a Municipal Animal Shelter dedicated to providing shelter, food and medical care to stray and unwanted animals, until permanent homes can be found. We presently serve 19 municipalities in Camden County NJ. That is more than half of the county! We also serve 7 municipalities in Salem County as well. If your cat or dog gets lost in these areas, odds are they will be brought to the VAO. We do not discriminate against any breed, nor do we turn an animal away due to medical conditions or age. Each and every animal in our shelter receives individual consideration and attention, regardless of the number of animals we may have in our care

We are also an Adoption Center. That means when space allows, we are able to rescue cats & dogs from over-crowded, high-kill shelters and rescues. We work with local shelters such as Burlington County Animal Shelter and Philly ACCT. We’ve worked with shelters in Northern NJ have many rescue partners in southern states, and as far away as Puerto Rico!

In 2019 we were able to save the lives of over 1,800 cats and dogs who made their way to our shelter. We have saved over 30,000 lives since our inception in 1988!
