We thank all our supporters from the bottom of our hearts for your generosity! Your donations and attendance at fundraisers enable us to provide the best possible care to our animals.

Upcoming Events

SANTA’S PET DAYS.  Santa will be making his annual visit to the Clifton Animal Shelter on Sunday, December 7, and will return for a second time the following Sunday, December 14!  Santa will be available all afternoon to pose for photos with your beloved companion animals.    You can bring your dog, cat, rabbit, guinea pig, bird, or any other animal that shares your home — All are welcome!   We especially enjoy seeing our former Shelter animals (and their families too!) during the holiday season.  So please mark your calendars and plan on joining us at this festive fundraiser!  The cost is $5.00 per photo, and each pet will get his or her very own treat!   Donations of Polaroid 600 film are always appreciated and can be dropped off at the Shelter during our adoption hours.  We hope to see many of you there!

HOLIDAY TREE OF LIGHTS.  The Shelter needs your help to light up our Holiday Tree!  Please join us in this beautiful tribute to our beloved companion animals.  For a small donation, a light will be added to the Tree in honor of your living or deceased pet, and a personalized ornament will be displayed inside the Shelter!  We will begin decorating the Tree on November 24, and it will remain lit throughout the holiday season in honor of the beautiful animals who add so much love and joy to our lives.   The Tree is located in front of the Shelter where it can be enjoyed by everyone!  All you have to do is fill out the coupon on Page 4 and mail it to us, together with your donation, or drop it off at the Shelter.  Thank you!

Be sure to stop by our table and say hello!  Our volunteers will be more than happy to wrap your gifts while you enjoy a cup of coffee with friends or do some more shopping!   Of course, we will be accepting donations on behalf of the animals who will be spending the holidays in the Shelter waiting for their new forever homes.  

Thank you for supporting our fundraising efforts!

The animals in our care are held for a seven day period and then are put up for adoption. We screen, advise, and follow up on all adoptions. Our adoption hours are Monday to Friday from 6:30PM-8:00PM and Sunday from Noon-4:00PM. Saturdays are by appointment only.  973-470-5936

We'd like anyone who has adopted from the Shelter to write to us and send pictures so that we can share your happy stories with others.  Make sure to check out our "Adoption Update" page for the latest stories about how our animals have brought joy into people's lives. Giving the gift of love to a homeless animal is priceless, and you will have a lifetime friend.  You can E-mail a photo or story to us and we will include it in our gallery it for you.
