Jersey Animal Coalition is an all volunteer not-for-profit that has rescued and placed over 10,000 stray and abandoned pets since it was founded in 1989. We are a no-kill shelter. Our mission is to preserve life. We make space by adopting, not euthanizing. Now, as the dream of our own Shelter has become a reality, we need your financial support today! JAC is self supporting. All donations go to the care of the animals.

   Happy Endings
 

Dusty
"Dusty is not only missing her front right leg, but she also tested positive for FIV. However, she doesn't let these two conditions dampen her spirits one bit. She considers herself the Queen of the second floor of our house...."

 

Halley
"Every morning he goes with Bobby for a cup of coffee to the Minimart. All we say to him is "wanna go to Minimart?" and he runs to the door wagging his tail..."

 

Monkey
"Even with all the dogs we grew up knowing and adoring in our lives, we never realized how much personality one dog could have, or how much joy he could bring..."

 

Popeye
"He likes to sleep on the bed with us at night, next to Kismet. The little bums don't like to get out of bed before 8:30 a.m..."

 

Rachel
"She is a wonderful companion who enriches my life and gives me more love than I can ever give her back..."

 

Sammy
"We asked why he was in a cage by himself and we learned that he had FIV (the feline version of HIV)..."

 

Sandy
"Although many have their ideas about her type of breed, Sandy has been absolutely friendly and gives kisses to everyone that comes to our home..."

 

Virginia and Jack
"As soon as we saw her and she cuddled on our shoulders and gave kisses, we knew she was the ONE..."

 

Zeus
"He is spoiled with affection by both his family as well as many others who cannot help but to fall in love with his adorable personality..."
