Animal Friends for Education & Welfare AFEW

Animal rescue in Hightstown, NJ

A.F.E..W. currently is working with the Hamilton Township Animal Shelter. We have an outstanding relationship and have been very successful in placing shelter animals. A.F.E.W. also coordinates and runs a low cost spay/neuter clinic either at the shelter or our adoption site, the Corner-Copia.

A.F.E.W. is not a shelter, but rather a network of foster homes that provide housing and socialization of our "customers," the animals, until we can find them a home.

A.F.E.W. also works to raise public awareness of animal issues. We promote public education in fostering respect, understanding and care for all animals, as well as special emphasis on spaying and neutering to help stop pet overpopulation.

What can you do to help?

FOSTERING A PET

Can’t make a lifetime commitment?
Want to help a homeless animal?
Have a lot of love and a little room in your house available?

Consider fostering an animal for Animal Friends for Education and Welfare (AFEW) .

When you foster for AFEW you will receive all the tools you need to do the job, and a healthy, clean pet to care for.

As we say in the rescue business – adopt one, save two – the one you adopted and the one that will now come into rescue. Fostering helps that one get adopted!

If you can give an animal a second chance at life, please call Marilyn of AFEW for more information 609-448-5322
