Southern Ocean County Animal Shelter 360 Haywood Road Manahawkin, N.J. 08050 Phone: (609) 978-0127 The shelter is open from 1-4 p.m. seven days a week with extended hours on Wednesdays, 1-6:30.

The mission statement of our group is to offer an additional avenue of care for the animals that the Shelter cannot cope with. These are the animals that have catastrophic physical problems or illnesses which need special medical care. Animals that would otherwise have died or been euthanized and would have never known the happiness of a loving home.

We also provide much needed support to the shelter. We help take care of physical needs such as an industrial size washing machine, blankets, food, halters, and an outdoor cat cage. We also provided swinging "doggy doors" for all the kennels at the shelter, thereby making it much more cost effective. In the summer the heat stays out and in the winter the heat stays in. These are just a small sample of the needs of the shelter we provide.

The shelter is open from 1-4 p.m. seven days a week with extended hours on Wednesdays, 1-6:30.
