Our mission is to prevent cruelty to animals, to promote kindness to animals, and to conduct projects for the benefit and welfare of animals in Ocean County, and to promote shelter pet adoptions through publicity and public relations.
As Friends continues to grow and assist our community we have become more involved in TNR and a foster base to assist with the overwhelming amount of animals that need our help in the community and shelter. Friends continues to work closely with the Southern Ocean County Animal Shelter to help outreach their adoptable animals.
Create an alert, and we'll notify you every time a new pet comes in who meets your criteria.

Friends of Southern Ocean County Animal Shelter works mainly in the Southern End of Ocean County but we do cover other areas as needed. We work closely with Southern Ocean County Animal Shelter at 360 Haywood Road Manahawkin, NJ 08050 to assist them with public relations of their animals and to help them in any way possible to keep the animals in the shelter ready and available for adoption.
