Your Community Animal Shelter

Although, due to COVID-19, we’ve been closed to the public for “walk-throughs”, we’ve been keeping very busy at the VAO. We continue to take in all of the stray and unwanted animals from the 26 municipalities that we serve in southern NJ. Of course our cats and dogs require constant care 7 days a week, and we can’t thank our fabulous team of staff members enough for rising to the occasion and continuing to give the very best TLC around!
We are keeping a very close eye on the Governor’s plans to reopen New Jersey slowly. Our first step towards normalcy was to welcome our wonderful volunteers back to the shelter this week! For now, we will continue to be closed to the public and will be open by appointment only. We know there will be many changes as we plan to re-open and operate in a COVID-19 world. We ask for your continued patience and support as we work through the details. In the meantime, please make sure that you are following us on Facebook and Instagram for the latest shelter updates!

You need them. We've got them! Order your VAO face mask today. Keep yourself safe and compliant with social distancing guidelines, and help the homeless cats & dogs of the VAO.

THE SHOW MUST GO ON!

The current COVID environment has wreaked havoc on the fundraising efforts of non-profits everywhere. The VAO is no exception. Our biggest annual fundraiser is our Woofstock Festival. It is scheduled to be held on September 26 at the Voorhees Town Center. We are cautiously optimistic that an outdoor festival like Woofstock will be able to occur by then, so we are all systems GO!!! Please SAVE THE DATE for the VAO’s 24th Annual Woofstock Festival to be held on September 26, 2020 from 11:00 – 4:00.
Registration is now OPEN for vendors and sponsors. We need your help now more than ever to make this a Woofstock to remember! For more details, please click HERE.

Please help us spread the word and we hope to see you in September.

Super Special Senior ALERT

Uggs is a very special girl in need of a very special home. This 14-year-old sweetheart was surrendered through no fault of her own. She's gentle and loving and has become a shelter favorite. Since she's been with us, we've learned that poor Uggs has decreased kidney function, a mass in her lungs and spine, and a luxating patella. Thanks to our Emergency Medical Fund, Uggs has been able to get the treatment she needs and the masses are shrinking. Now that she is on a special kidney care diet and a pain management regimen, she is feeling much better and is ready to find her happily ever after. Please consider opening up your heart and home to this deserving senior kitty. To meet Uggs, please contact us at info@vaonj.org

The shelter is no ploace for a senior!
