Friends of Burlington County Animal Shelter

Volunteers help the dogs and cats at the Burlington County Animal Shelter become more adoptable. We walk, bathe, groom, provide playtime and affection to the dogs until they find a new home. We also socialize cats, allow them to play outside their cages, cuddle and love the cats until they find a home. We also pay for extra medical outside the shelter's scope and buy special toys and treats for the shelter animals.

Our volunteers much of the marketing of the animals by taking pictures, doing videos and writing bios about their personalities for potential adopters to view online. We attend community events and provide tours at the shelter in an effort to increase community awareness about adopting pets from the shelter.

Friends of BCAS is a separate organization from the Burlington County Animal Shelter.

While our goal is to enrich the lives of the shelter animals until they are adopted into their forever, loving homes, Friends of the Burlington County Animal Shelter does not determine the medical nor adoption processes of the Burlington County Animal Shelter.
