Father Johns Animal House

Since 1973, Byram Animal Rescue Kindness Squad has provided animal rescue services to the Sussex County, New Jersey, community on a nonprofit, volunteer-based basis. Our goal is to give stray, abandoned, and displaced cats and dogs a home, veterinary care, and a permanent placement.

The urge to safeguard the lives of defenseless animals inspired the creation of Our Rescue. Our entire team is dedicated to saving as many dogs and cats as we can, and we go above and beyond to make sure that every pet we save has a bright future.

At the intersection of Flora Avenue and Durban Avenue is where you can find the Hopatcong Animal Shelter. In Hopatcong, the Shelter serves as a place of successful transition for lost animals.

All laws pertaining to the animal population in the township are upheld by Vernon Township Animal Control. It is in charge of enforcing animal ordinances, preventing the spread of rabies, capturing sick or injured animals, holding lost pets, quarantines, dog bites, and adoption. Additionally, it runs rabies clinics, issues dog licenses, and manages the animal shelter. The Vernon Township Police Department keeps staff on call around-the-clock for emergencies including animal attacks, sick or injured stray animals, bats discovered inside the house, and injured or ill animals.

A sanctuary for abandoned animals, stray dogs, cats, and small pets looking for forever homes through adoption is the Vernon BC SPCA.

Innocent dogs and cats on death row are the focus of Eleventh Hour Rescue, a nonprofit, volunteer-based organization with full 501C(3) registration.
