Toms River Township Animal Facility

Our Pet List


Who We Are

We are a small shelter for Dover Township set up to help the abandoned, homeless and strays of our community. As being a small shelter owner relinquishment of animals is by appointment only and only for animals residing in the Toms River area. This is hard for us to do but with room being a daily concern it must be done.
