Woof! Meow! One thing before you go…
Do you need to find a loving home for your pet?
Shelters are often inundated with pet surrenders, and do not want to provide a simple outlet that takes away the obligation of responsible pet ownership. Therefore, they would prefer that people try hard to find a solution before resorting to surrendering their pet to a shelter. If you must find a new home for a pet, please try posting to our adoption portal before placing the burden on the shelter. Direct adoptions work well and allow everyone to share in the accountability of their community!

The history of North Jersey Humane Society goes back to before the opening of our Bloomfield shelter. It all started in 2011 when Bergen County Humane Enforcement, an animal control agency, asked itself two questions: “What happens to the animals we rescue? Do they end up in happy homes, or do they end up on a kill list at an animal shelter?” With those questions in mind, some members of the BCHE set out to open their own animal shelter where they knew no animal would be euthanized because of their age, temperament or length of stay. The result was Bergen County Protect & Rescue, a true no-kill shelter in Cliffside Park, NJ. Since its opening in 2011, Bergen County Protect & Rescue has operated as a small community-oriented, volunteer-based, non-profit 501(c)(3) animal shelter. They have successfully rehomed hundreds of animals annually of various breeds, ages and temperaments to happy homes. However, the very small size of the shelter had prompted a need to expand. And so, North Jersey Humane Society, a subsidiary of BCP&R, was born!
In November 2014, North Jersey Humane Society took over the existing Bloomfield Animal Shelter and reopened it as a true no-kill animal shelter. This facilty sits on a large piece of land with much more space for the shelter animals. Renovation planning phase is just about complete. The plans are a massive undertaking; however, we welcome the challenge. We have already expanded our volunteer program, and future plans include a large fenced area for dogs to socialize and be trained; a feral cat village (Wild Wild West), and an on-site clinic, just to name a few. North Jersey Humane Society plans to replicate and expand on the success it experienced as Bergen County Protect & Rescue. We look forward to serving the Essex County Area!

Do you need to find a loving home for your pet?
No-kill shelters do wonderful work, but as a result, are often inundated with pet surrenders. In the unfortunate scenario that you have to find a new home for your pet, please read through the rehoming solution and articles on this page before contacting the shelter.
