Adopting from GCAS

To see all the wonderful animals looking for their forever home, please go to www.petfinder.com. Enter Clayton, NJ in the location block.


The Gloucester County Animal Shelter (GCAS) is located at 1200 North Delsea Drive, in Clayton NJ.  

When you visit the shelter or one of our PetSmart Adoption centers to adopt an animal you can expect to first fill out paperwork and provide information such as your address, veterinary references and whether or not there are other pets in your home.  You will also be asked to provide proof of your identity.  Rest assured that the process is the same for all prospective adopters and is in place to ensure the best outcome for you and the animals.

At the shelter, once your application has been approved, you will be allowed to interact with the animal you are interested in.  You will also have an opportunity to learn more about the animal's history, any special needs it might have, and to ask any questions. At our PetSmart locations, to interact with the animals, you will need to complete an application; however, you will not have to wait for approval before interacting with the animals. All animal interaction does however, need to be supervised by one of our volunteers and no children will be allowed to "play" with the animals without a parent present.  

Finally, you will be asked to sign an adoption contract and pay an adoption fee as outlined below
