Every Animal Deserves a Second Chance

That is the motto of the Woodbridge Animal Society Volunteers (WASV).  The WASV is a 501c3 organization that operates in support of all area animal rescues and shelters. Their compassionate, experienced and dedicated volunteers are committed to their mission and the belief that every adoptable animal deserves a second chance.

 Mark your calendars.  The WASV has teamed up with FOLAS (Friends of Linden Animal Shelter) for an adoption event at Menlo Park Mall, Edison, NJ on March 22nd from 12 PM to 5PM.  FOLAS will be bringing some of their adoptable cats and dogs.

 3.  You'll save money - Adopting a pet from an animal shelter is much less expensive than buying a pet at a pet store or through other sources.

 4.  You'll feel better - Pets have a way of putting a smile on your face and a spring in your step.

 5.  You won't be supporting puppy mills and pet stores - Puppy mills are "factory style" dog-breeding facilities that put profit above the welfare of dogs and dogs are housed in shockingly poor conditions with improper medical care.

So stop by and meet some furry friends, make a donation and fall in love.
