Mt Pleasant Animal Shelter Inc

For more than 50 years, Mt. Pleasant Animal Shelter has saved the lives of abandoned and neglected animals in our community.

Mt. Pleasant Animal Shelter (MPAS) has provided exceptional care for tens of thousands of homeless animals, working tirelessly to find a permanent, loving home for every cat and dog we serve.  

MPAS’s priority is to save abandoned animals within our community; however, our efforts don’t end there. We partner with shelters nationwide to save at-risk animals from being euthanized. More than 41 thousand animals enter NJ animal shelters every year, and only half of all NJ shelters are no-kill. MPAS never euthanizes any animal for time or space reasons. Adoptable animals reside at our shelter until they find a forever home.

At Mt. Pleasant, our animals are our family, until they become a part of yours. 

Mt. Pleasant Animal Shelter is a registered 501(c)(3) organization solely funded by the public's generosity. We receive no federal, state, or municipal funding.

MPAS mission is to build a community of people and organizations working together to save today’s, and prevent tomorrow’s, abused, neglected and homeless animals.

How we do this …….

• Deliver the highest level of animal care to prepare today’s animals in need for their future homes
• Bring together the cats and dogs who need a loving family with the people who want them
• Provide community services and resources to ensure every animal has a safe and healthy life
