The Montville Animal Shelter serves five towns - Montville Township, Boonton Township, Mt. Lakes, Lincoln Park and Morristown. The current shelter  was built in the 1970’s and is approximately 580 sq. feet of indoor space .

Why Build A New Shelter?
There are many reasons to construct a new facility to house the homeless pets in our community:
  • Inadequate in providing a healthy environment for the animals.
  • Quarantine for new arrivals and sick animals is currently in the old Department of Public Works garage. There is no quarantine area for dogs.
  • There is poor air exchange in the facility
  • Building materials are porous and difficult to clean.
  • There not a positive experience for prospective owners. The shelter is located behind the old DPW Garage. It is crowded with high noise levels. There is no get acquainted or counseling area.
  • Work areas are constrained making it very difficult for the staff and volunteers to work. There is no medical/procedure area and storage space is very limited.
  • The outdoor exercise area for the dogs is very small and inadequate.
  • Approx. 30 years old, it is also in need of repairs and increasingly expensive repairs.

How you can help:
