Alan Purcell Wayne Township Animal Shelter
Our Mission
At the Wayne Animal Shelter, we are dedicated to providing humane care for cats and dogs until they find their perfect forever homes. We believe that every homeless animal deserves a second chance and a loving family.
Serving Our Community
Located in the Township of Wayne, we serve as a vital community resource for pets and their people. Each year, we care for nearly 1,000 animals, working hard to stimulate public awareness and interest in our animal welfare programs.
How We Help
Our shelter provides a safe, nurturing environment where animals receive love, food, and necessary care. Beyond our facility, we are proud to offer community outreach, humane education, and initiatives like our low-cost spay/neuter programs. We depend on the generosity of our community through donations and the dedication of our volunteers to continue this important work.
A Match Made for You
Finding the right companion is a journey, and our experienced Adoption Counselors are here to help you navigate it. We take the time to talk with you individually to ensure that each adoption is a wonderful, long-term fit for both the pet and your family. Because we want every transition to be successful, we offer resources on training, behavior, and care to support you from day one.
