Shelter a pet for Christmas!

The pet gets to hang out with a family during the holiday instead of the shelter

PARSIPPANY — St. Hubert’s has an adorable holiday program where local families can give a shelter pet a family to spend Christmas with.  You would go and pick an appropriate pet at the Shelter and foster it until Saturday, December 26.  The pet goes home with a wrapped gift and gets to hang out with a family during the holiday instead of the shelter.  

If anyone would like to be considered for a holiday foster, they can contact our foster coordinator Kim Lehner at KLehner@sthuberts.org for more information.  They are still accepting families. 

St. Hubert’s Animal Welfare Center is located at 575 Woodland Road, Madison.

Parsippany Focus will be taking pictures and interviewing a Parsippany family who is participating in the program for Christmas.

Founded in 1939, St. Hubert’s Animal Welfare Center operates animal shelters in Madison and North Branch, and they opened a third North Jersey location in 2015. St. Hubert’s welcome animals directly from guardians, animals rescued by our animal control officers, from overcrowded shelters across New Jersey, from disaster situations, and from distance partners.

Their nationally renowned Training and Behavior Center, located at the Madison campus, offers specialized training classes and behavior consultations. The Madison facility also houses the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) Behavioral Rehabilitation Center, a ground-breaking behavior program for dogs that are victims of puppy mills, hoarding, or other abuse.

Additionally, St. Hubert’s provides a variety of community services, including pet adoption, humane education, a pet food pantry, low-cost spay/neuter of community cats, a pet helpline, and a professional education series. They regularly advocate for animal welfare legislation and work to engage our community to help protect animals in New Jersey and beyond.

In addition to their role as a nonprofit organization, St. Hubert’s provides animal control services to a number of municipalities in Somerset and Morris counties. Officers assist domestic animals and wildlife in need, and provide educational information to reduce human-wildlife conflicts.
