Bloomfield Animal Shelter  - John A. Bukowski Shelter for Animals

A Dedicated Haven for Bloomfield Pets

The Bloomfield Animal Shelter is a dedicated no-kill facility committed to providing a safe, compassionate, and supportive environment for every animal in our care. Our team works tirelessly to ensure that every pet we serve receives the love and attention they need while awaiting their forever homes.

Serving Our Community

Managed by the Township of Bloomfield, our shelter serves as a vital resource for our community. We are here to support our local residents by providing a sanctuary for stray, sick, or injured animals from the jurisdictions we serve, as well as accepting surrendered pets from Bloomfield residents.

How We Provide Care

Our facility is more than just a shelter; it is a hub of active, hands-on care. With a team of dedicated volunteers who assist with daily needs like dog walking and cat socializing, we ensure our animals stay happy and healthy during their stay. We pride ourselves on maintaining a clean and safe facility where animals are supported by both professional staff and local volunteers.

Finding Your Perfect Companion

We believe that every adoption is the beginning of a wonderful partnership. To ensure the best fit for both you and your new pet, we facilitate adoptions by appointment once an application has been reviewed and approved. This thoughtful approach helps us match our rescued dogs and cats with families where they will truly thrive.

10/30 - We have a personality for everyone's taste in one adorable package! 👇👇 The abandoned Daycare Dogs officially have names and are now ready for adoption - but there's a catch - they MUST go together! We know that's a big ask, but these little dogs, now named Lucy, Desi, and Vivian, absolutely LOVE each other and scream when separated! We aren't sure of their relation, but they're clearly a family. They're guessed to be 10 years old, in good health, have shiny new teeth after a much needed dental, and aren't spayed/neutered. At their age, it's determined to be a risky procedure. If you're looking to add life to your home, please consider opening your home to this tiny but mighty trio!
