OUR THREE ANIMAL SHELTER FACILITIES LOCATED IN NEWARK, TINTON FALLS, AND FORKED RIVER, PROVIDE ANIMAL CONTROL SERVICES TO MORE TOWNS THAN ANY ANIMAL SHELTER IN THE STATE. WE ARE AN OPEN DOOR FACILITY AND DO NOT TURN AWAY ANY ANIMAL REGARDLESS OF THEIR AGE, BREED, OR MEDICAL/EMOTIONAL ISSUES. WE PRIDE OURSELVES ON THE HIGH LEVEL OF CARE THAT WE PROVIDE TO THE HUNDREDS OF ANIMALS THAT CALL OUR FACILITY HOME WHILE THEY ARE AWAITING ADOPTION. WE HAVE FULL-SERVICE VETERINARY CLINICS THAT ARE OPEN TO THE PUBLIC AND PROVIDE OUR COMMUNITIES WITH TOP-NOTCH, PROFESSIONAL VETERINARY SERVICES FOR PERSONAL PETS, AND ALSO OPERATE A MOBILE VETERINARY UNIT THAT

SHELTER FACILITIES - THE ASSOCIATED HUMANE SOCIETIES, (AHS), STRONGLY BELIEVES THAT WILD ANIMALS SHOULD LIVE FREE AND UNCAGED. POPCORN PARK LOCATED AT OUR AHS-LACEY FACILITY WAS ESTABLISHED IN 1977 FOR THE SOLE PURPOSE OF PROVIDING A REFUGE TO SICK, INJURED, PERMANENTLY DISABLED, ABANDONED, ELDERLY, AND UN-RELEASABLE WILDLIFE, FARM ANIMALS, AND EXOTIC ANIMALS THAT WOULD BE UNABLE TO SURVIVE ON THEIR OWN. POPCORN PARK TAKES IN ANIMALS FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD SUCH AS A THREE-LEGGED FOX FROM KUWAIT, A BLIND BENGAL TIGER FROM A MARYLAND ZOO, AND PATAS MONKEYS FROM A RESEARCH LAB, TO NAME A FEW. POPCORN PARK IS A FEDERALLY LICENSED ZOO THAT IS HOME TO STRICTLY RESCUED ANIMALS. NO ANIMAL IS EVER PURCHASED OR BRED. EVERY ANIMAL THAT COMES TO POPCORN PARK IS HOUSED IN A HABITAT THAT IS SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED TO FEEL MUCH LIKE THEIR NATIVE HOME. VISITORS ARE WELCOME AT POPCORN PARK TO VIEW THESE ANIMALS AND READ THE STORIES OF HOW THEY CAME TO LIVE AT THE REFUGE. ZOO VETERINARIANS ARE ON STAFF TO PROVIDE THE POPCORN PARK RESIDENTS WITH MEDICAL CARE AND WELLNESS CHECKS AND IF THERE IS EVER EXTENSIVE MEDICAL CARE THAT AN ANIMAL NEEDS THAT CANNOT BE PROVIDED ON-SITE, ARRANGEMENTS ARE MADE FOR THE ANIMAL TO BE TRANSPORTED TO A SPECIALTY HOSPITAL THAT CAN PROVIDE THAT CARE.
CLINIC - THE VETERINARY CLINICS TREAT INJURED AND SICK ANIMALS ON BOTH A FREE AND PAYING BASIS, AS WELL AS PROVIDING MEDICAL CARE TO THE ANIMALS AT OUR SHELTER FACILITIES. THE CLINICS ARE STAFFED BY MULTIPLE VETERINARIANS AND SUPPORT STAFF, AND TREAT 50 TO 100 ANIMALS OR MORE PER WEEK. IN ADDITION TO PROVIDING VETERINARY SERVICES FOR THE PUBLIC, THE CLINICS ALSO HOLD EVENTS THAT CONTRIBUTE TO THE WELL-BEING OF ANIMALS IN OUR COMMUNITIES SUCH AS FERAL CAT SPAY/NEUTER DAYS AND PERSONAL PET MICROCHIPPING EVENTS. OUR MOBILE VETERINARY UNIT TRAVELS TO VARIOUS LOWER INCOME TOWNS AND OFFERS SPAY/NEUTER SERVICES AND WELLNESS VISITS FOR THOSE RESIDENT'S PETS. OUR SHELTER VETERINARIANS TREAT THE HUNDREDS OF ANIMALS THAT ARE AWAITING ADOPTION AND IN SOME CASES, PROVIDE EXTENSIVE MEDICAL TREATMENT TO THOSE ANIMALS THAT ARE THE VICTIMS OF EXTREME ABUSE AND NEGLECT. THE SHELTER VETERINARIANS ALSO DETERMINE WHEN AN ANIMAL IS IN NEED OF SPECIALTY CARE, AND MAKE ARRANGEMENTS WITH OUTSIDE FACILITIES TO PROVIDE SUCH CARE. THEY ENSURE THAT ALL PETS ARE SPAYED/NEUTERED, VACCINATED, AND MICROCHIPPED PRIOR TO BEING ADOPTED.
ANIMAL CONTROL - THE AHS IS CONTRACTED WITH SEVERAL TOWNS THROUGHOUT NEW JERSEY TO ANSWER THE CALLS OF STRAY ANIMALS, FREE ROAMING ANIMALS, AND INJURED ANIMALS, BOTH DOMESTIC AND WILD. AHS EMPLOYS MULTIPLE ANIMAL CONTROL OFFICERS, (ACO), THAT WORK ROUND THE CLOCK TO GO OUT ON THESE CALLS AND RESCUE ANIMALS IN DISTRESS. OUR ACO'S OFTEN WORK WITH LAW ENFORCEMENT ORGANIZATIONS ON CASES INVOLVING THE INHUMANE TREATMENT OF AN ANIMAL AND ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR REMOVING THOSE ANIMALS FROM ABUSIVE OR NEGLECTFUL SITUATIONS AND BRINGING THEM TO THE SAFETY OF OUR FACILITIES.
