Shore Saves Animal Rescue
We are a non-profit animal rescue organization based in Freehold, New Jersey, dedicated to rescuing, rehabilitating, and rehoming at-risk dogs in our local communities, regardless of breed, age, or medical needs. Our mission is to create a future where every local dog in need finds safety, love, and a forever home.
100% volunteer-run.
Our founders have been volunteering with animals for decades. Shore Saves was founded on our like-minded dedication to providing dogs in need with food, shelter, veterinary care, training, and love until we can find them the right forever family.
100% donor-funded.
Every dollar Shore Saves receives helps an animal in need. We depend on generous donations from individuals, corporations, and foundations to fund our operations. In addition to rent and utilities, our expenses include veterinary care, food, leashes and collars.
Here's how you can help further our mission:
Foster
Fostering is a critical part of saving these dogs' lives. We'll work together to place the right kind of dog (size, age, temperament) in your home. Fostering is free - we'll provide you with all the supplies you need - all we need from you is compassion.
Adopt
We rescue male and female dogs of all ages, sizes, and breeds. Fill out an application if you're looking for something (gender, size, age, etc.) in particular and we'll reach out to you when we think we have a good fit for you to meet with.
Volunteer at our shelter
Volunteer at our shelter by interacting with our rescues. We need to maintain a steady schedule of volunteers able to walk, play, and love the dogs, increasing their sociability and adoptability.
If you aren't comfortable handling dogs, there are plenty of jobs you can do at our shelter! Visit the Volunter tab to learn more.
