Bergen County Animal Shelter

This is the official Bergen County Animal Shelter and Adoption Center page. We are located in Teterboro, NJ at 100 United Lane. Our phone number is 201-229-4600. Thanks for visiting us.

We accept strays from towns that contract with us for animal control and owned animals for a fee from residents of contracting towns in Bergen County. We accept owned animals for a fee from non-contracting towns if space allows. Please call the shelter in advance to discuss intakes of owned animals from non-contracting Bergen County towns. It is our mission to place all adoptable animals in forever homes.

Adoption Policy
You must come to the shelter in order to adopt. Please email us for an adoption application.
