Jersey City’s Liberty Humane Society (LHS) shelter is full and it needs local pet lovers to help alleviate the situation. The shelter is currently looking for good homes for the many cats and dogs at the shelter, preferably on a permanent basis via adoption. But even if adoption doesn’t work, you can help LHS by temporarily fostering a cat or dog.

All adopted pets are spayed or neutered, vaccinated and microchipped. The adoption fee is $175 for dogs and $120 for cats. Adoption fees are reduced to $60 on Tuesdays for cats one year or older.

The shelter is open every day for adoptions except Wednesday, with hours of 11 am to 4:30, except for Tuesdays and Thursdays, where the shelter stays open three hours later, until 7:30 pm.

If you can’t make it to the shelter, consider swinging by City Hall on Sunday, August 29 August 22, when LHS will hold another Kitten Bonanza adoption event.
