The Gloucester County Animal Shelter’s kennel is full of animals looking for their forever homes!
“We have a lot of dogs at the shelter patiently waiting for homes. There’s a match for everyone,” said Director Frank J. DiMarco. “We are committed to finding each animal their perfect home. We will always prioritize the well-being of the animals when finding their forever families.”

An approved application is not required to walk through the kennel, but we do encourage you to fill an application out prior to arrival just in case you would like to meet an animal available for adoption.
Adoption includes spaying, neutering, all age-appropriate vaccines and dogs are heartworm tested and microchipped.
