“Do you accept animals that need to be surrendered / re-homed?”  No.  PFA’s Whole Families Program helps pets and their human companion when they are experiencing a crisis, and feel they have no other recourse than to surrender their furry family member.  If you are experiencing a crisis such as: homelessness, domestic violence, and/or are entering a transitional shelter, rehabilitation facility or hospital, and would like assistance from PFA, please contact Lori McGahan, Director of the Whole Families Program, MSW, LCSW.

If you are struggling to pay for your pet’s veterinary care and food, we recommend that you contact your your local food pantry and/or animal shelter to see if they provide free pet food.

If you need further assistance, please contact local, reputable animal rescue organizations in your area using an Internet search engine like Google.

“Can I adopt an animal from you?”  No, People for Animals does not provide adoption services.  However, we do need volunteer foster homes located throughout New Jersey that are able to take a pet and care for them for one (1) to six (6) months until their pet parent is able to take them back.  Clients participating in our Whole Families Program are facing a major crisis in their life and some of them need us to care for their pets while they resolve the issues in their life.  PFA will provide pet food, supplies, and veterinary care while you provide a loving home and attention.  Visit our Foster page to learn more about volunteering your services.

“My pet is injured, can you treat it?”  No, People for Animals does not provide emergency care; we focus on Spay/Neuter surgeries and Preventative care like Vaccines and Microchips.  We cannot provide treatment for fractures, bleeding/open wounds, obstructions, seizures, diabetes, or heart failure.  If your pet is having trouble breathing, is bleeding, has suffered a severe injury, or is otherwise in need of immediate life-saving attention, go to your nearest emergency veterinary clinic without delay.
