TRENTON BUREAU OF ANIMAL CONTROL



Our Featured Dog is Carrie!




Carrie is one pretty lady! She came in to the shelter as a stray, and she is looking for love.....sounds like some other Carrie I have heard of....... This Carrie is a Pit mix, about one year old. She is very sweet. She layed her head right in my lap as soon as I sat near her, and she has such compassion in her eyes. She seems to enjoy toys, and is fun to watch play with them. When we took her out to Petsmart, she claimed one of the volunteer's laps as her personal bed, and enjoyed a very long belly rub, and was content to just lay with him all day. If interested in Carrie, please fill out our screening form.

Our Featured Cat is Peeps!


This is Peeps. Turned in when his owner could no longer care for him. The owner swears that Peeps is 11 years old, but we would never have been able to tell. He is big and strong, healthy and just a doll. Very nice cat who easily adjusts to his new surroundings. Is ok with other cats but would prefer a quieter home. Would you please consider an older cat to bring home? He is neutered and UTD on all his shots.

How to adopt

If you see a DOG that you like you must email trentonshelter@yahoo.com to see if it is still available. Please be sure to mention the cage number and/or name of the dog. You can also see our adoptable dogs at Petsmart in Fairless Hills, PA every Sunday from 12-4 pm. Come on out!

If you see a CAT that you like, please click on its picture to find the specific email link for this animal. This link will take you directly either to that cat's foster parent or to the cat volunteer at the shelter.

All potential adopters MUST fill out an application or visit our dogs and cats at the shelter adoption days. NO HOLDS WILL BE GIVEN WITHOUT AN APPROVED APPLICATION. The shelter reserves the right to deny adoptions. The animals will be placed in the best possible environment for the animals. THE TRENTON ANIMAL SHELTER HAS A STRICT SPAY/NEUTER POLICY. There is no acceptable excuse for not having your animals spayed and neutered other than medical (i.e. heart condition). If your current animals are not spayed or neutered you MUST provide proof from your veterinarian as to the medical reason why. OVER 9,000 ANIMALS ARE PUT TO SLEEP EACH DAY IN THIS COUNTRY, PLEASE HELP STOP OVERPOPULATION AND THE SENSELESS DESTRUCTION OF THESE POOR ANIMALS. Ask your vet about the benefits of Spaying/Neutering your pet, it could save their life and they could live up to 5 years longer! Personal and vet references are required and will be checked. IF YOU DO NOT PROVIDE THE COMPLETE NAME, ADDRESS AND PHONE NUMBER FOR YOUR VET (IF APPLICABLE), YOUR APPLICATION WILL BE AUTOMATICALLY DENIED!
