-An accumulation of rodent droppings in an upper storage area over the inside dog kennels
-A white, bully-type dog had an open wound on its paw and there was no evidence that this dog was provided with medical care.
I had to give my dog up due to a change in living situation when my family went through a tragedy...my heart was broken. I took her here and couple months later I checked online and saw she was still up for adoption. Finally someone in my family came forward that was willing to adopt her, the shelter said she had bad kennel cough and had to be treated before she could go home to anyone. I called every week for two months, still to be told she was being treated and was getting better. I even told them I could take her to the vet and pay myself to have her treated if I could just take her..Then one day i call and they tell me she was put to sleep!!!!!!.....because they were told she was not friendly?!?!?! They let her suffer for months and out of nowhere put her down for not being friendly. She was friendly and the ad they put on pet finder also stated that she was friendly. My world will never be the same without her I will always miss my beautiful girl, Honey. Please shut down this place, it’s a hell for all animals!!
-A white, poodle-type dog housed in the small dog room had urine-soaked fur on its rump and its legs and was unable to remain dry and clean.
Hopefully the state comes in and shuts this place down and people who are in charge here are arrested for the conditions the animals are in...all the animals should be transferred to other shelters where people are more caring
-A lack of cleaning that resulted in a “layer of black grime” on the walls and floors
-A large sheet of cardboard was being used as bedding in some of the small animal enclosures.
-Animal food bowls that weren't being scrubbed clean before being disinfected
-Sick animals with bloody urine, diarrhea, vomiting, Kennel Cough and nasal discharge
-Bags of animal carcasses left laying outside the building
This place should be shut down, or at least hire people who know what they are doing. If you plan on adopting a dog, you are in for a long ride. I tried contacting this facility in Newark(they did not answer the phone) for one dog that I had only seen three days earlier. For those three days I was getting my adoption papers sorted out and the deed to my home. (I was also waiting for the availability of the dog which was in three days). I called and called and no one answered, so I drove in a haste to the shelter only to be told that the dog was transferred to Tinton Falls...So I called the other shelter and they picked up quickly. In a polite manner, they told me she was not there...I was distraught, after all this running around and I get my heart broken? Yeah, not worth the stress and the anxiety. From what I am told, this place has been "shady" for quite sometime, and honestly I do not doubt it for one second. Also, some of the employees are rude and have an attitude that makes you not even want to ask questions or adopt.....For those of you looking to adopt a pet, I recommend the Bloomfield Shelter as they are courteous and welcome you with open arms. No facade with them for sure.
-A deteriorating, dirty building that posed health and safety risks
-The room where the exotic animals were housed contained an accumulation of rabbit feces and urine on the walls, on the electrical outlet, behind the filing cabinet and on the floors and baseboards around and under the rabbit enclosures and a filing cabinet.
-Dirty dishes, including a spoon and bowl with “caked-on food” and black mold
-Cats that were difficult to handle and classified as ‘feral’ were housed in enclosures that contained glass walls completely covered with cardboard and newspapers.
Great shelter, very good to the animals and nice people. Adopted my dog Coco there almost two years ago.
-There was a large, black, mastiff-type dog housed in a small enclosure against the back wall of the main basement housing area. This enclosure did not provide sufficient space for this dog to turn about freely and lie in a comfortable, normal position.
-Improperly stored bags of food at risk of molding and kibble scattered throughout the building
-Animals were not being weighed prior to administration of euthanasia, immobilizing or tranquilizing agents.
-There were carpeted cat trees and sisal rope cat scratchers in the communal cat rooms that contained an accumulation of hair and dried feces or vomit.
-Adult dogs confined in cages… were not being exercised in runs at least twice a day or walked on a leash for at least 20 minutes per day. Dogs with a vicious disposition that were housed in the basement or the small dog and cat room were not walked at all and did not have access to an exercise run.
-Staff were unable to access certain disposition records, including the required euthanasia documentation, and the paper records were incomplete.
-Several animals that were housed in the basement isolation room were exhibiting signs of illness but the [shelter] manager stated that these dogs had not yet been seen by a veterinarian and were not receiving medical treatment.
-Dogs and cats kept in cramped, dark enclosures without exercise
