Profile: Liberty Humane Society

Liberty Humane Society is a nonprofit animal care organization located in Jersey City. It was created in 1998 to serve the animal control and care needs of the city. In the years that followed, LHS came to hold animal control and sheltering contracts with Bayonne and Hoboken in addition to Jersey City.

The animal shelter cares for, treats and finds homes for thousands of animals every year. It is an open admission shelter, meaning that every stray animal found in the cities with which it is contracted are brought to LHS, day or night. All animals receive a medical assessment and vaccinations upon intake. New Jersey requires stray animals to be held for seven days before they are made available for adoption. After a behavioral assessment, adoptable dogs and cats move into main shelter housing where they will stay until adopted or transferred. All animals are spayed or neutered and microchipped prior to adoption.

LHS also offers a low-cost public Wellness Clinic and a Humane Education program. It is located at 235 Jersey City Blvd. in Jersey City. It is open to the public for adoptions Tuesday through Friday from 2 to 7 p.m. and Saturday and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. For more information, go to libertyhumane.org, call 201-547-4147 or email lhs@libertyhumane.org.
