i was suprised in a good way when i visited the secaucus animal shelter. because they have a small number of animals, they are able to give each one of them attention, which really makes a difference. they multi-cat enclosure inside their building was pretty cool as well. it's great that they're striving to be no-kill, but when i visited there was a 2 time biter available for adoption again - definitely not good. there needs to be some sort of limit to what's acceptable. also, the feral cat situation around the shelter should be addressed (though they do provide them with nice shelter, but some sterilization would go a long way!).

Pros: nice location

Cons: not very progressive

My pet and I stopped by the shelter unannounced to drop off donations and the folks we met were very nice and appreciative. It's a small shelter and in need of supplies. They should take a cue from Liberty Humane Society and promote on social networks, run a supply drive and create a wish list on Amazon.com. No one I spoke with had even heard of it. On a different note, the dog park in front was nice and had agility equipment.

Pros: Friendly staff, dog park in front

Cons: A bit rundown, need supplies

There are shelters that exist simply that have to due to laws and city ordinances. This shelter however puts their best foot forward with everything they do. They would even put their own well being on hold to first take care of one of the animals.

Pros: Not just a shelter in name

Cons: As with any shelter, funding

Secaucus Animal Shelter is a clean place. I think it is a very neat place.

Pros: It is very clean

Cons: No cons

Great little shelter that municipality is proud of with an adorable fog park attached. Staff is proud of their shelter and work

Pros: Nice municipal shelter

Cons: Not many
