Shelter FAQs

This page is volunteer created and managed to assist the Elizabeth Animal Shelter in finding forever homes for their animals and assessing any of their needs. All of the information comes from volunteers helping the ACO's and the animals of the shelter. If you have any specific questions, please contact the shelter directly at the contact information we have provided.

Please be advised, the Elizabeth Animal Shelter is a kill shelter because of the high volume of animal intakes. The volunteers work endlessly to help the animals have a short stay at the shelter. It's the adopters and fosters that can make this happen!
