“Associated humane societies, (ahs), is the largest animal sheltering organization in new jersey and is also home to popcorn park, located at our ahs-lacey branch. Popcorn park was established in 1977 and is a sanctuary for abused, neglected, and/or abandoned animals of all breeds and sizes, including wildlife, farm animals, and exotic animals. Our three animal shelter facilities located in newark, tinton falls, and forked river, provide animal control services to more towns than any animal shelter in the state. We are an open door facility and do not turn away any animal regardless of their age, breed, or medical/emotional issues. We pride ourselves on the high level of care that we provide to the hundreds of animals that call our facility home while they are awaiting adoption. We have full-service veterinary clinics that are open to the public and provide our communities with top-notch, professional veterinary services for personal pets, and also operate a mobile veterinary unit that offers low cost spay/neuter and wellness services to low income communities. The ahs also utilizes media outlets such as our magazine, the humane news, our website, and social media pages to promote not only our animals for adoption and the fine work that we do for animals in need, but also to educate the public on what is happening in the world of animals, and the importance of teaching humane education to our youth.”

“Specifically designed to feel much like their native home. Visitors are welcome at popcorn park to view these animals and read the stories of how they came to live at the refuge. Zoo veterinarians are on staff to provide the popcorn park residents with medical care and wellness checks and if there is ever extensive medical care that an animal needs that cannot be provided on-site, arrangements are made for the animal to be transported to a specialty hospital that can provide that care.”

“Animals that are the victims of extreme abuse and neglect. The shelter veterinarians also determine when an animal is in need of specialty care, and make arrangements with outside facilities to provide such care. They ensure that all pets are spayed/neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped prior to being adopted.”

“Public education & cruelty prevention - the ahs prides itself on our involvement with educating the public on cruelty prevention and humane treatment of all animals. We provide speakers for various venues such as schools and libraries, where we encourage the public to be involved with the animal community and promote spay/neuter of pets and humane treatment of animals. We publish a regularly scheduled booklet titled the humane news, which is distributed to thousands of homes throughout the country and is also available online. This booklet features animal stories from around the world, both humane and inhumane. It features articles on our recent achievements that we have made through rescuing animals, and is geared toward influencing people to adopt pets rather than purchasing them, treating all animals with kindness and respect, and speaking up on behalf of an animal in crisis. The booklet also features animals at all of our facilities that are available for adoption and recent news on our animals that reside at popcorn park. In addition to the humane news, we also utilize social media to spread the message of humane treatment of animals and adopting your pets, as well as operating a website where all of the information on our organization can be found.”
