Big news for Big Cooper!! He was surrendered to the shelter on March 23, 2023. After 586 days in the shelter Big Cooper has gone home! This gentle giant has been a staff and volunteer favorite for a long time. He has patiently been waiting for the right folks to show up and they finally did!! The connection was immediate! Big Coop knew they were his peeps and they fell in love with his big personality and pony size physique immediately! No more kennel for our big boy! It's a warm chair by the fire with his new feline sibling or a nice comfy sofa! Thank you to the Menz family for opening your heart and your home to Cooper! Special thanks to the staff and volunteers who loved him and took care of him for the last year and seven months! Happy tails, Big Guy! Be good! We love you!

FOSTER NEEDED!! Callie is a very sweet 8 year old, 55 pound spayed female lab suffering from a severe skin allergy. As you can see in the pictures she is getting better. She has been in the shelter for just over six weeks. This condition is very difficult to treat in a shelter environment but we have made significant process! Her recovery will accelerate in a home atmosphere. She lived in a home with two cats and with children. She seems to ignore other dogs. If you can foster Callie please call or email the Cape May County Animal Shelter for more information: Phone: (609) 475-8923 Email: [email protected]

Adopted together!! ChiChi, Bianca and Scar left the Shelter over the weekend with a lovely family! They now have a huge fenced in yard, mom and dad and a human sister! We are thrilled for the trio! Happy tails, you three! 🐶🐶🐶It was a pleasure caring for you! Be good! 🐾♥️

04/10/2024

UPDATE, October 30, 2024, ADOPTED!!! YAY!!

Scar, ChiChi and Bianca are still in need of a home! Sadly their owner can no longer care for them. They are so sweet! They are housebroken and walk so well on a leash! Look at the video and watch them cruise along with each other! They patiently wait whenever one needs to stop and while you clean up. They are not yappers. Three seems like a lot but they are little! 🤣 They dance and twirl with excitement while you leash them up! Please help us re-home this trio! (They must stay together.)

Meet big baby Buddy!
Buddy is an extremely affectionate hound/beagle mix. Would you look at those mix match ears! Buddy is anxious in new situations and can be shy around new people but is quick to warm up once he realizes that you have butt scratch’s to offer! He loves to use that great hound dog nose of his out in the yard.

Sadly Buddy is struggling at the shelter with the loud and high stress environment in the kennels Buddy is having a hard time enjoying the little time he get outside on his own. Despite best efforts of staff and volunteers Buddy just need to find a calm home where he can feel comfortable.

Buddy lived with children and could live with cats if given a slow introduction.

PLEASE SHARE and get Buddy out there so he can find a forever home. If you are interested in Buddy contact us with questions or fill out our application!

Meet Molly!
Molly is a big girl and she loves to chat! She is extremely affectionate and adores people despite how humans have failed her in the past. Molly came from a house with other dogs and cats that were all abandoned when the previous owners moved away. Miss Molly also was a Mama and did a great job raising her kittens. After all of that Molly decided she would prefer to be an only pet.

If you like our Molly girl, please reach out with questions, or fill out an application at the link below!

ChiChi, Scar and Bianca need a forever home together! These three little Jack Russell/Chihuahua mixes have found themselves in a heartbreaking situation. They were in a foster home for just about two weeks. However, it is now clear that their owner is too ill to care for them, so they are at the Shelter and need to be permanently rehomed. They are a sweet, well-behaved trio! Housebroken, quiet, good with other dogs, good with cats and kids. They are all good on a leash. They are not yappers. They bark when someone comes to the door but quickly recover. They bond quickly with new people. They each have their own special little personality. The home they had was quiet. It was the three of them and a single, elderly woman. They were well cared for and have vet records leading back several years.

ChiChi is a five-year-old male and weighs 17 pounds.
Scar is a ten-year-old male and weighs 14 pounds.
Bianca is a six-year-old female and weighs 14 pounds.

We will NOT separate them! Serious inquiries please contact the Shelter via email or phone for information on our adoption process. PHONE: 609-465-8923
EMAIL: [email protected].

Appointments will be made for approved applicants.

Meet the Stunning Zeke!
You will never see this dog without his signature smile! And just look at his gorgeous face, he has so much character! Zeke is a 2 year old Heeler mix. Zeke is athletic, affectionate, and intelligent. He would be a great match for a family that is active and outdoors-y. His old home told us that he loved car rides and was crate trained. With us he loves to get out in the yard, play, and to be loved on by his human friends! He would do best in a home with older children because of his energy level and would not do well with other pets.

Help us find Zeke the person that could give him his second chance! Share his post and get his handsome mug out there.

The shelter has an appointment only policy. We ask potential adopters to fill out our application, prior to a scheduled meeting. The staff is very accommodating, and we welcome any inquires.

If you would like meet our Gemmy girl then reach out though our phone or email!
Or you can fill out our application! The shelter does meets and tours by appointment only.

Meet our very own Princess Aurora!
Aurora is a 7 year old husky, but you would never guess her age if you saw this girl zooming around the yard! Aurora is very shy with new people and can take a bit to warm up. But if she knows you, you are her best friend in the world! She is so full of love and will lean in for pets and cuddles. The best way to bond with her is brushing. This girl loves to have her luscious fur pampered and brushed out.
Despite her being a husky she is not very vocal.

Just like any princess she is picky about who she associates with. She is very selective about what dogs she wants to be friends with.
She would not do well in a home with cats. And with how shy she is, a home with older children is best.

That is with us because she was not getting along with another dog in the house.
