JERSEY SHORE ANIMAL CENTER reopened its doors in 1981. It was formerly called the Brick Humane Coalition, Inc. The name was amended on August 9, 1982.

It is a non-profit animal shelter governed by a volunteer board of directors. The JERSEY SHORE ANIMAL CENTER is committed to the rescue and care of unwanted, abused, abandoned, sick animals and to the adoption of these animals to responsible, loving homes. To that end, veterinary care is provided as needed, medication and inoculations are given and neutering/spaying is done prior to adoption unless the animal's health or age precludes this procedure.

In addition, a compassionate staff tends to providing for each animal's physical and emotional needs, taking care to keep each one sheltered, clean, well-fed and socialized.

We do not have same day adoptions. Rather, there is an application and review process which typically takes 24-48 hours. You can print out an application from this site. Or, please come in and meet all our furry friends between 1-4pm Tuesdays - Sundays.
