Paws on the Green

Animal rescue in Edgewater, NJ

Paws on the Green, Inc. rescues animals on death row in local and rural shelters in the South. We are a New Jersey non-profit animal welfare organization that promotes the adoption of homeless animals regardless of age, breed or health condition. We strive to take the ones that other rescues and adopters leave behind either because the pet is a senior, has a health condition or has a disability.

If you would like to foster one of our animals, please visit our website and click "How You Can Help". The foster application can be found there.
