Our mission is threefold:

Atlas Found a Home!
You may recognize me from a recent post. Well, I am happy to say that I have found a home! A bright future lies ahead for me.
While I have found a loving family to call my very own, there are more animals at the shelter looking for theirs. Visit www.njshelter.org to learn more. (link in bio on Instagram)

I Need a Home!
Hi! My name is Atlas. I am a 6-month-old hound mix from Tennessee, making me the perfect southern gentleman! I'm super playful, especially with my toys. Affection, pets, and cuddles are always at the top of my "to do" list.
Due to my size and activity level, I would do well in a home with no children under the age of 6. If I sparked your interest with my southern charm, please call 973-386-0590 or visit the shelter! We're open 7 days a week from 11AM-4PM.
You can learn more about other animals in need of a home, as well as the adoption process online at www.njshelter.org (link in bio on Instagram).

Volunteers Make a Difference!
Often we are asked how children can get involved with helping at the shelter. Megan and her family have been fostering dogs with medical needs, but she wanted to do more to help the animals in the shelter. Megan decided to make some toys for our feline residents and boy do our cats love them!
Thank you Megan for helping provide these beautiful toys. Playtime helps reduce the stress that often occurs when in a shelter environment. We are grateful for your support.
Learn more about how you can get involved at www.njshelter.org (link in bio on Instagram).

I Need A Home!
I'm Cleo! I came to the shelter in the hope of finding a family to love. It was a bit too stressful for me there, so I've been in foster care where I am being spoiled and finding my confidence!
I am a bit on the shy side at first, but once I get to you know, we will be great friends. I LOVE to play, go for walks, and will thrive in a quiet home with another dog. No cats though, please.
Please schedule an appointment to visit me at 973-386-0590. I will make a great addition to your family! You can also learn more by visiting https://njshelter.org/find-a-dog-or-puppy. (link in bio)

A huge thanks to Industrious for hosting a Lunch & Learn with Mt. Pleasant Animal Shelter. We were excited to share all the ways to get involved at the shelter: how to volunteer, foster, donate and adopt. We brought two of our pups and some kittens, who received love and attention from all the Industrious members. Industrious also generously made donations to the shelter, which will help us sustain the many animals in our care. Thank you again, Industrious!
Mt. Pleasant Animal Shelter cares about making ties in our community and continuing partnerships like that with Industrious. If youβre interested in hosting an outreach event, please contact (outreach@njshelter.org). Without the support of our amazing MPAS community, we could not continue our mission. Please consider ordering an item from our Amazon or Chewy Wish Lists
(https://njshelter.org/donate-supplies/) or by making a monetary gift on our website at (www.njshelter.org). (links in bio on Instagram)

I Need A Home!
Hello there! My name is Minnie. I came to Mt. Pleasant Animal Shelter because I needed serious help. I was expecting and with the loving care they provided, I was able to have my babies in foster care.
My babies have grown and have found their forever homes. Now it's my turn! Honestly, this couldn't come soon enough. While I love the people at the shelter, I just want a place where I can roam. I'm a bit of an attention seeker and will be the center of your world, should you take me home. I do require that I am the only cat in the house. I am playful, loving, and cuddly. Everything you would want and more!
Please come visit me at the shelter! Learn more at www.njshelter.org.

MPAS On the Move Update!
Rosebud, Stella and Brownie all went to @behaviorplus tonight for training. We gain so much insight with every visit and tonight was no exception. With their help, we can better understand some of the behavior challenges we are facing and how we can help our dogs shine.
Thank you to everyone who has helped support this important training. And to the team at @behaviorplus, you are amazing and we appreciate all that you do. Your work is not only changing lives, it saves them. #dogtraining #animalrescue #animalshelter #mpasonthemove #ilovedogs #shelterpets
