Animal Control Office
Animal Control Division provides animal control related services and operates the Woodbridge Animal Shelter and Pet Adoption Center.
If you are interested in adopting a cat or dog please visit the Shelter located at:
195 Woodbridge Avenue
Sewaren, NJ 07077
Our dedicated staff will help you find a pet that best matches your wants and needs. Because we are an Animal Shelter, we bring in and adopt a variety of animals almost daily. Please see the Woodbridge Animal Shelter and Adoption Center page or view us on Petfinder for more information on our Shelter and animals.
Animal Control Services are provided 7 days a week, 24 hours a day
If you see injured or abandoned baby animals, do not touch them. Please see the New Jersey Fish and Wildlife website.
For more information regarding found wildlife you may contact the Division of Fish and Wildlife at 609-292-2965.
Dog abandonment can lead to the pet's injury or death from motor vehicles or other animals. It also endangers the public and other pets in the form of animal bits and vehicle accidents.
Cat abandonment is cruel and can lead to the establishment of feral cat colonies. When abandoned, a domestic cat becomes feral (wild) and must hunt and kill for food. If you are feeding stray cats in your backyard or place of business, we ask that you trap them and have them neutered before they reproduce.
If you are a resident and are unable to keep your pet please call the Woodbridge Animal Shelter for information and assistance at 732-855-0600, ext. 5007.
