Give a Wag! Gives to Atlantic City Shelters
Atlantic City boasts one of the best no-kill animal shelters, too! Established almost 50 years ago, the Humane Society of Atlantic County saw the rising need for an animal shelter and answered the call. Their mission is to curb pet overpopulation, increase adoptions, give strays a safe haven, and serve as a resource for the community. They work with multiple rescues to take in dogs from all over the country and even as far away as Puerto Rico.
With their onsite veterinary clinic serving the community, they have the ideal opportunity to introduce people to proper veterinary care for their adopted fur-buddy. In other words, they are a community-minded organization that recognizes the animals that live in Atlantic City as part of the overall population. When people want to adopt, they offer a wealth of information and resources to help establish healthy and lasting relationships between furbabies and their new human families.
The staff understands that sometimes life interferes with your ability to continue caring for your beloved dog. Surrendering it to the shelter is a loving and responsible thing to do. Finding a loving home for Fido is their top priority, and they carefully screen prospective adopters to find the best placement for every dog. Surprisingly, this successful non-profit shelter operates totally on private donations.
