Upcoming NBHA Events





The Mission of the North Brunswick Humane Association is to provide education and guidance to our community in pet and wildlife issues through various community groups, civic organizations, and school boards for the purpose of enhancing quality of life for our pets, wildlife and residents. We also support endeavors that promote humane and protective services in the treatment of animals.

L’Oreal Event a Great Success

Thank you to all who came to see us at the L’Oreal Because Your Dog Is Worth It, Too event! We got to meet over 5,000 dog lovers who were very generous in supporting Project Shelter. We look forward to seeing you all next year!

L’Oreal Because Your Dog is Worth it Too Day

L’Oreal’s 7th annual Because Your Dog is Worth it Too Day August 21st from 9AM til 4PM

Adoptions: Cyrus

UPDATE: ADOPTED! Cyrus has found his forever home. Thank you to all who inquired and worked to get Cyrus into a loving family.

URGENT!! Old Bridge, NJ. Family is moving and can’t take Cyrus! He needs a home SOON! Cyrus is a young (2 yr old) Lab/Pit mix whose family is moving and he has no place to go. The family cannot take him so he will, most likely, end up in a kill shelter.

He has a great personality, loves people and gets along well with other dogs and cats. He is good with kids also. Cyrus was recently neutered and is up to date on his shots. Of course, he will need some walks in the park or around the neighborhood, but he will repay you by being a faithful, wonderful companion. If you can give him a home, please contact Elda at eldahubbard@hotmail.com or Michael at ventovita@yahoo.com

Adoptions: Buddy

Buddy the blind stray needs a home!

Buddy was found running in a bad neighborhood without even his eyesight to guard him against danger.

Meet our friend “Buddy.” Buddy was found as a stray wondering the highway in a dangerous neighborhood. For any dog that is a scary thought, but for Buddy it is even more horrifying because he is blind. Buddy has a degenerative retinal disease and will never be able to see. He is now at The Brookhaven Animal Shelter and Adoption Center waiting desperately to be adopted. He is very scared… especially with all the dogs barking around him. Buddy is only 2 years young and loves all people. He is gentle and wags his tail at the least bit of attention.

Being in a shelter is no fun for a dog at all. It is especially heartbreaking to see Buddy there. He doesn’t know what he did wrong to wind up all alone and confused. We know that he would adjust quite well in a home. Buddy asks for very little…some food…..a walk…and a little pat on the head for reassurance, but we know what Buddy needs most. He needs an angel to come and take him under their wing and give him the life he desperately deserves. Please cross post this email so together we can find Buddy his forever home.

If you would like to adopt Buddy, please contact Dori Scofield, Shelter Director, Brookhaven at: saveapetny@yahoo.com.

Here is one shelter visitor’s testimonial about her visit with Buddy:

“…I just have to let you know of our visit with a very special dog, that you posted the other day, Buddy, who we now call a Luv Muffin… He seems completely blind, so of course he’s going to bark like crazy when approached, I’d be the same way!! BUT, when he got to know us outside, which took a matter of SECONDS, he was a complete mush!! He absolutely fell in love with Alivia, and kept sniffing & following her back & forth to the bench when she needed to sit. AAAAhhhh was written all over his face, as we petted him FROM HEAD (THOSE ADORABLE EARS INCLUDED) TO THE TIP OF HIS TAIL (which it seems has been a bit beat up by him wagging it). I can’t stress enough, how sweet & perfect he is… we were shaking & heartbroken having to leave him. He’s definitely an adorable Shiba Inu Mix (guessing 40ish lbs).”

Lost in North Brunswick – Frankie

UPDATE: FOUND! Frankie was found and returned to her home.

“We are in North Brunswick and looking for any help to find “Frankie”, our 2-year old black cat. She’s never been out of the house before, and disappeared on Monday July 19th . She has never shown any interest in leaving the house and we can’t even begin to guess how she may have escaped – our home is so terribly empty without her. We think she is chipped, but we are new to the area so if she is chipped it will have our old Virginia address.

Please contact Kevin Bovino at forlesstax@aol.com if you have seen her or have any additional information. Thank You!”


Adoptions: Klondike

Klondike is a dashing American Staffordshire Terrier who is approximately 1-2 years old. He is a strong boy who listens well and knows some basic commands like “come” and “sit.” He’s very affectionate and loves to roll around in the grass and get belly rubs. He jumps for joy when his dogwalking friends come to his kennel, but sits patiently when it comes time to be leashed or groomed. He is friendly and playful with the other dogs at the shelter.

If you are interested in adopting or fostering Klondike, please contact Elda at eldahubbard@hotmail.com
