REFORM Helmetta Regional Animal Shelter
Updated 12/26/14
Check each page for updated information!!
The shelter is empty as of 12/22/14. All animals have been placed in the care of many amazing rescue groups; some of those animals have been permanently adopted!
Stray or lost animals are from towns still contracted with HRAS are being taken to Monmouth County SPCA or, if needed to Garden State Vetererinary Hospital (overnight only) in Iselin.
The goals for reforming HRAS are for the shelter to:
1. Take advantage of High-Volume, Low-Cost Spay/Neuter Programs
2. Promote and assist with Feral Cat Trap Neuter Return efforts (TNR) or adopt a Shelter Neuter Release (SNR) Program
3. Create better relations with rescue groups so animals can be transferred out of the shelter.
4. Develop a Foster Care network.
6. Implement Comprehensive Adoption Programs, including off-site adoptions.
7. Implement a Pet Retention Program.
8. Develop a Medical and Behavior Prevention/Rehabilitation Program, in conjunction with trainers and veterinarian.
9. Increase its Public Relations and Community Involvement.
10. Recruit, train and retain Volunteers.
11. Conduct Proactive Redemptions so lost animals do not enter the shelter.
12. Provide Leadership and Advocacy on behalf of animals in their service area, including advocacy for the right of feral cats to their lives and habitat.
Attaining these goals will help Helmetta Regional Animal Shelter become a modern, compassionate shelter where animals can be comfortable, happy, and healthy while waiting to be adopted. Additionally, the number stray and unwanted animals in our area would be decreased by investing in TNR efforts and spay/neuter programs.
