OFFERING COMPASSION AND RESOURCES FOR ANIMALS IN NEED

Did you know the Humane Society of Ocean City is more than 50 years old? We were founded in 1964 and continue to offer Ocean City, NJ pets and pet owners affordable services.

We stand behind our mission statement:

Providing the highest level of compassion and service to our animal friends

We aim to have affordable rates and find homes for animals who've been abandoned or rescued from bad environments. While we started as a pet adoption center, we have expanded to offer spay and neuter services, a vet hospital, and animal control services. Visit our big red barn today to meet the pets available for adoption.

YOUR FULL-SERVICE PET ADOPTION CENTER

We focus on educating the public about how to raise a healthy four-legged friend.

We offer the following services to make it easy and affordable to be a pet owner:

  • Pet adoptions: Adopt a cat or dog for a low price that includes many of your pet’s necessities.
  • Vet Center: We’re a full-service vet hospital that offers yearly checkups and pet surgery.
  • Animal control and rescue: We help injured wildlife and focus on educating the community.

Call today to learn more about the pet adoption and animal rescue services we offer the Ocean City, NJ community. CONTACT US TODAY!
