TRENTON BUREAU OF ANIMAL CONTROL



Our Featured Dog is Sweetie!






Sweetie is a young girl (around 1) who came to us as a stray. She seems very playful and loving and walks well on a leash. More details to follow as we get to know this pretty baby!!! UPDATE! Sweetie is an absolutely FABULOUS dog! She must have belonged to someone who didn't know where to find her....she is so well behaved, calm and sweet! She sits nice, gives paw....ok I just can't say enough about her!!! Great dog for anyone!
Our Featured Cat is Samantha!


Like her namesake, this little lady is utterly bewitching. She is loving and sweet and will charm you to the core. Dark as the midnight sky, with a tiny star of white on her forehead. Come meet her, she's waiting to make your life so much richer. Up to date on all shots. We believe she is spayed, but will send you home with low cost spay neuter information. Just an absolute darling, she gives head butts and follows you everywhere. She came to us suffering from an intense flea infestation (all taken care of!) and is enduring the indignity of having us apply antibiotic cream to her back, but all in all, this young female will be 100% soon - just to bring joy into someone's heart!!!

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!
