Our Mission
Our mission is to build a community of people and organizations working together to save today’s, and prevent tomorrow’s, abused, neglected and homeless animals.
How we do this …….
Deliver the highest level of animal care to prepare today’s animals in need for their future homes Bring together the cats and dogs who need a loving family with the people who want them Provide community services and resources to ensure every animal has a safe and healthy life
For more than 50 years, Mt. Pleasant Animal Shelter has been providing exceptional care for homeless animals, working tirelessly to find a permanent, loving home for every cat and dog we serve.
Our priority is to save abandoned animals within our community; however, our efforts don’t end there. We also partner with shelters around the country to save at-risk animals from being euthanized. Mt. Pleasant Animal Shelter never euthanizes any animal for time or space reasons. Adoptable animals reside with us until they find their forever home. We become their loving family until they become a part of yours.
Mt. Pleasant Animal Shelter is a registered 501(c)(3) organization that is solely funded by contributions, grants and bequests.

Our Impact
New Jersey
At Mt. Pleasant Animal Shelter, we strive to provide a second chance for animals in need, animals just like Antigone. Antigone was a special resident at our shelter. She immediately captured the hearts of our staff and volunteers. This resilient four-year-old tripod has overcome challenges that we can only imagine. With only three legs due to an injury, Antigone never let anything hold her back. Full of energy, life, and a tenacious spirit that inspired us all. As with many animals, we never knew Antigone's full backstory, what we did know is that she deserved a loving forever home where she could thrive. Luckily, she found that and more with her new family. Antigone is just one example of the countless animals at Mt. Pleasant Animal Shelter waiting for their chance to shine. By donating to Mt. Pleasant Animal Shelter, you're not only providing food and essential care, you're providing behavior and enrichment activities that help to reduce the stress faced by shelter animals and prepare them for their new life. You provide routine and emergency medical care, care which is often needed to restore health or save a life. You are providing the second chance that these animals deserve. Thank you for considering support of Mt Pleasant Animal Shelter.
