Voorhees Animal Orphanage

Our Mission

Animal Orphanage is dedicated to providing compassionate shelter and medical care to stray and unwanted animals while working to secure their permanent, happy futures. We believe every animal deserves a loving home and a lifetime of care.

A Legacy of Saving Lives

Founded in 1988, we have proudly saved over 44,000 lives, reflecting our unwavering commitment to the animals of Southern New Jersey. As an open-intake shelter serving 26 municipalities, we strive to be a model for animal welfare, consistently achieving a live release rate exceeding 90%.

Our Approach to Care

Operating as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, we provide each animal in our care with individual attention, medical support, and a safe environment regardless of age or health status. Beyond our physical shelter, we act as an adoption center, rescuing dogs and cats from high-kill facilities when space allows. Our commitment extends to the community through education and our support of the Animal Alliance of Camden County's pet food pantry.

Building Lifelong Matches

We believe that successful adoptions are built on thoughtful matching, not just speed. By evaluating the temperament, energy, and specific needs of every pet, our team works to create a bond that lasts a lifetime. We are here to guide you through the process, ensuring that your new family member is the perfect fit for your lifestyle and home environment.
