Bloomfield Animal Shelter - John A. Bukowski Shelter for Animals
Our Mission
The Bloomfield Animal Shelter is dedicated to providing compassionate care for animals in need and facilitating successful, lasting adoptions. We strive to create a safe, supportive environment for every animal that comes through our doors.
Serving Our Community
Managed by the Township of Bloomfield, our facility serves as a vital resource for our community. We are committed to a no-kill philosophy, ensuring that every animal receives the respect and care they deserve while they await their forever home.
How We Operate
Our shelter functions as a dedicated facility for stray, sick, and injured animals from the jurisdictions we serve, while also accepting surrendered pets from Bloomfield residents. We operate daily to ensure high standards of care, supported by a wonderful team of volunteers who assist with daily needs like socializing and enrichment.
Your Adoption Journey
We believe that every adoption is the beginning of a beautiful partnership, and we are here to help you find your perfect companion. Our process is designed to be thoughtful and transparent; once you submit an application and it is approved, we will work with you to schedule an adoption appointment to meet your future best friend.
