The Volunteer Auxiliary For Animal Shelters Inc.

Animal rescue in Jackson, NJ

The Volunteer Auxiliary For Animal Shelters, Inc. is a non-profit organization run solely by dedicated volunteers committed to helping shelter animals. Our mission is to increase adoptions and decrease euthanization at the Northern Ocean County Animal Shelter in Jackson. A large part of our adoptions are done at off-site locations, staffed solely by volunteers. These locations have enabled us to place many animals in loving homes.

Foster families for cats and kittens and Petsmart adoption volunteers are currently needed. If you are interested in volunteering, please email volaux@yahoo.com. If you would like to make a donation, we are a 501(c) 3 corporation and listed as a charitable organization. Your donation is tax deductable. Please address your donation to The Volunteer Auxiliary PO BOX 1432 Bennetts Mills Rd. Jackson New Jersey 08527. Your donations give sick, injured and homeless animals a chance. If you would like to donate items we are in need of kitten milk replacement (KMR brand), dry/wet cat food, cat beds.
