Animal Shelter Full Of Sweethearts Looking For Their Valentine In Somerset County

BRIDGEWATER, NJ — Looking for love this Valentine's Day? The Somerset Regional Animal Shelter is full of sweethearts waiting for their furever Valentine.

So far this year, the shelter has taken in 70 cats from other overcrowded rescue groups and shelters, said Shelter Manager Brian Bradshaw to Patch.

"We have the room, why not help?" said Bradshaw.

Now the shelter is looking to find homes for those cats and dogs.

The Shelter is hosting a Valentine's Adoption event from Friday through Sunday with reduced adoption fees.

The event will also include chocolates, cookies, and other sweet treats.

"Come on in, and if you find your new Valentine, our matchmaker staff will gladly guide you through the adoption process," said the shelter.

The shelter at 100 Commons Way is open every day from noon to 3:30 p.m. To see the pets available for adoption check out Adopt A Pet at adoptapet.com/shelter/87817-somerset-regional-animal-shelter.

Additionally, the shelter is in need of donations to cover vet costs and costs to spay and neuter the pets they are taking in.

"Donations have been nonexistent," said Bradshaw.

Community members can contribute by purchasing supplies from the shelter's Amazon Wishlist or to make a monetary donation visit srasnj.org/donate.

Anyone interested in fostering or learning more about the shelter can call 908-725-0308 or visit srasnj.org or facebook.com/somersetregionalanimalshelter.
