St Hubert's Animal Welfare Center
For more than 80 years, St. Hubert’s Animal Welfare Center has been dedicated to helping any animal in need, regardless of species, size, or temperament. With a people-focused, community-based approach, we treat every animal as an individual and emphasize specialized care for both animals and their families. St. Hubert’s operates three animal welfare campuses: Madison, North Branch and Noah’s Ark and provides progressive animal control services in 18 municipalities in New Jersey. We support the communities we serve with programs that help animals stay with their families, such as pet food banks, vaccine clinics and emergency pet boarding. But we’re more than the local shelter. Through our merger with the Humane Rescue Alliance in Washington, D.C., we are the largest provider of animal services in our region, touching the lives of over 100,000 animals each year.
