COMMUNITY EDUCATION: Last week, volunteers from the Montclair Township Animal Shelter, Karen and Olya, visited Park St Academy to teach the kids about the work we do at the shelter and how the community is involved!

Olya and Karen were accompanied by Rocky, an adoptable dog from the shelter, who helped show kids the importance of animal welfare and adoption!

We were very honored to be invited to the school to present as a part of their community helpers unit! Rocky was a wonderful and patient teacher and would love to go to a home with children!

OCTOBER 27th IS NATIONAL BLACK CAT DAY🐈‍⬛✨

There are many superstitions about black cats being bad luck, but we think that they are magic!

One interesting fact about black cats is that 75% of them are male, making female black cats rare!
The Montclair Township Animal Shelter has TWO female black cats available for adoption!

Jag is a friendly and chatty young girl that enjoys spending time with people.

Moonlight is a timid young girl who had an adorable litter of kittens this spring.
She is still working on warming up to people.

Sokka is a sweet young boy who is very friendly and playful.

Come to the shelter any day 1-4 pm (except Wednesdays) to meet beautiful Jag, Moonlight, and Sokka!

HURRICANE RESCUES: After South Carolina was devastated by Hurricane Helene, many pups found themselves lost and shelters overwhelmed.

OCTOBER IS PITBULL AWARENESS MONTH!!

The Montclair Township Animal Shelter has a wonderful group of pitty mixes - a few which have been adopted this year!

Unfortunately, pit bulls are often discriminated against due to breed stigmas-spending nearly twice the amount of time in shelters as other breeds. October (and all the other months of the year) is a great time to educate yourself and others about the truth of pitbulls!

This is a perfect time to welcome a sweet pittie into your home! And MTAS has plenty of adoptable pitties.

SENIOR PROGRAM:

Last week, the Mars Corporation held their first event for the Senior for Senior Program, connecting seniors to local animal shelters and rescues.

The Senior for Senior Program is run by Senior Services/Lifelong Montclair, the Montclair Health Department, the Montclair Township Animal Shelter (MTAS), and Humane Montclair.

NJ Assemblyman Collaxos-Gill helped spearhead their first event, which was a luncheon introducing seniors to some of MTAS’s dogs at South End Gardens in Montclair. This program assists seniors with their pet’s care and helps seniors foster/adopt senior animals from the shelter.

ADOPTABLE CAT SPOTLIGHT: MUFFIN🤍

Muffin is a sweet ~9 month old boy who has beautiful yellow eyes and the most striking white coat. Besides the little spot of buff coloring on his head, Muffin is all white, making him a very rare kitty! Only 5% of cats are all white! At first, Muffin is quite shy, but once he warms up he absolutely loves pets and head scratches. He would do best in a home with a friendly and social cat to help him come out of his shell a bit. Muffin is up-to-date on vaccines and is neutered. Come to the shelter to meet this sweet stunner!

PITTIE APPRECIATION POST!!!

Meet MTAS's pretty pitties - Brooke, Batman, Drako, and Sally!

Unfortunately, pitties are often overlooked in shelters due to breed stereotypes. Pitties end up being in shelters far longer than any other breed. It is time to break the stigma and see how sweet these pitties are! Come on down to the shelter to meet our fantastic group of pitties.

Brooke: Brooke is a happy-go-lucky, ~5 year old pittie/staffie girl. She always has a big smile on her face and loves playtime and attention. This sweet girl will wiggle her way right into your heart. Come fall in love with this little seal!

Batman: Batman is a handsome ~3-4 year old pittie boy. He enjoys spending time with people and going on walks. Batman truly is a gentle soul that deserves a home of his own. Send out the bat signal and come meet this superhero!

Drako: Drako is a gorgeous ~2 year old pittie boy. He loves giving kisses and getting belly rubs - even if it is in the middle of a walk. Drako is known to be the king of the benches in town and loves to lounge around. Come meet this sweet mush!

Sally: Sally is an adorable ~8 year old pittie girl. Despite her age, she has a lot of s***k and enjoys going on walks. She loves spending time with people and is just always smiling. Come meet this sweet girl who would love to retire on your couch!

ADOPTABLE CAT SPOTLIGHT: APHRODITE💞

Aphrodite is a sweet ~1.5 year old girl who has beautiful yellow-green eyes and the most gorgeous tortie coat. This past spring Aphrodite had a litter of 7 adorable kittens! She is now ready to have her own space and have all of the attention to herself. She loves chin scratches, sitting on your lap, and some playtime. She would do best as an only pet. Aphrodite is up-to-date on vaccines, spayed and ready for all of the love and attention she can get. Come to the shelter to meet this goddess!

ADOPTER UPDATE: EDDIE

Back in July 2016, Eddie met his forever family at the Montclair Township Animal Shelter. He was welcomed with lots of love, toys, and many adventures ahead. As a puppy he had the cutest pink and black cow spots on his nose. Now 8.5 years old, Eddie is still as happy and adventurous as ever!

Eddie loves car rides, walks in the park, beach trips, you name it! He also has very good taste as his favorite treat is pig ears from the farmer’s market and he makes sure to stop there every weekend! His mom says he is a bit of a foodie and always likes to try new things. Eddie is truly a fun-loving, sweet boy that has completed his family.

We always love hearing updates from MTAS alums!! Share your adoption story with us here https://forms.gle/SMMoGCkAy34F4W8R9

Come visit us at the Montclair Township Animal Shelter to meet your new best friend and change a life! Open 1-4pm everyday except Wednesdays. 77 N Willow St Montclair, NJ.

ITS SENIOR SATURDAY! We will be sharing our senior pups every Saturday until they find their forever family (and couches)!

Meet Sally and Millie, our senior models!

Sally is a sweet ~8 year old pittie mix girl who loves people, but would prefer to be an only pet. Despite her age she has a lot of s***k and loves to sniff around outside. She is potty trained and keeps her space nice and clean. She would love to cuddle with you all day too. She is a sweet lady who is fully vetted and ready to be petted!

Millie is an adorable ~9 year old bulldog girl who has some medical needs, but doesn't let that get her down. She does her business as soon as she is taken out on a walk. She walks slowly and is unaffected by commotion around her. Millie deserves to spend her golden years in a home on someone's couch, not in a kennel. She is fully vetted and would love to be your cuddle and nap time buddy!

June is National Foster a Pet Month! Montclair Township Animal Shelter wants to promote pet fostering so people will temporarily open their homes to pets in need - because even a short-term care homestay can improve a pet's life. Humane Montclair produced a new video for MTAS and Lifelong Montclair, featuring local pet lovers, to get fostering information out to the public and also introduce Lifelong Montclair's new Seniors Fostering Senior Pets program. Why foster? Pet fostering helps create space in shelters, and offers pets the chance to experience the love and care they deserve while they wait for their forever homes.It's also an excellent way for animal lovers who can't commit to pet adoption to still make a difference, and enjoy the companionship of pets without the long-term commitment. Anyone can apply to foster a pet - so please step forward and make a difference, even if just for a short while.For more information about fostering call MTAS 973744-8600. Seniors Foster Program 973 509-4974. #montclairnj #fosterdog #fosterkittens #fostercat #fosteringsaveslives #adoptdontshop #animalshelter

ITS TITAN TUESDAY!!!! TITAN TUESDAY: We will be sharing our boy Titan every Tuesday until he has a home! Titan has been in the shelter since DECEMBER 2021! That's almost 900 days!!! This means that 80% of Titan's life for the past 2.5 years has been spent inside a kennel, staring at the same 4 cement walls. That is no way for such a sweet boy to live. Titan has a good deal of energy and LOVES to play some soccer outside. He also is a big cuddle bug and enjoys just hanging out with people. He likes other dogs but of course an introduction is recommended. Titan is always up for an adventure, whether that be a car ride or a walk to get coffee. He is up to date on all vaccines and he is neutered. Even if you are unable to adopt at this time fostering would save Titan's life. Being in the shelter for so long has really gotten him down. Volunteers truly don't understand why he has been in the shelter for so long, he is a gem! And if you can't foster or adopt please SHARE SHARE SHARE. We need to find Titan's people!! If you are interested in meeting Titan, please come by the shelter 1-4pm every day except Wednesdays. #cleartheshelters #adoptdontshop #pittie #rescuedog #shelterdog #help #beatles
