Secaucus Animal Shelter
525 Meadowlands Pkwy Secaucus, NJ 07094
See Spot Rescued
See Spot Rescued is not a shelter. They are a non-profit 501(c)3 dog rescue based in Jersey City, NJ and Austin, TX staffed entirely by volunteers who work full-time jobs while coordinating the rescue, vetting, medical care, transportation, fostering, and adoption of as many amazing dogs as they can. Regardless of their age, health, or breed, and no matter what their needs are – from extensive vetting to surgery to a specific type of dog owner – they’re here to provide it. All of their dogs are spayed or neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped, and if necessary are de-wormed and de-flead, prior to adoption. And in any case in which the dog faces serious illness, they have them fully treated at their own expense. Because they’re worth it.
The staff at the animal shelters are doing an important job in keeping cats and dogs off the street. Every volunteer gives their time in making sure each furry companion is going to a loving home. Whether you are looking to adopt or foster, there is an animal for everyone. If you are not ready to make a new addition to your home, show your support for these animal shelters by donating or volunteering.
