Overview
The New Jersey Safe Haven for Protection of Domestic Companion Animals Act establishes a system for individuals to voluntarily surrender domestic animals to shelters, pounds, veterinary hospitals, or police stations without providing identifying information. It mandates that these facilities must accept the animals and provide necessary care, while also requiring the posting of information about drop-off procedures. The bill also directs the Department of Health to create an educational program to promote safe placement alternatives for animals whose owners can no longer care for them.
