Jersey Animal Coalition

Animal rescue in South Orange, NJ

Jersey Animal Coalition is a no-kill, not-for-profit, all-volunteer coalition organized in 1989. We provide homeless dogs and cats with medical attention, shelter, and boarding, and we find them permanent loving homes. We are based in South Orange, New Jersey, but we place animals throughout the state and nearby states. Since our founding, we’ve found homes for more than 20,000 dogs and cats plus a couple ferrets, a pet rat and a chicken (our rooster is now mingling with elite designer chickens on a NJ farm!).
