Shelter Showcase is devoted to helping orphaned pets find loving homes. Our innovative programs and exciting events promote shelter adoptions and responsible pet ownership.

Shelter Showcase Pet Adoption Expo brings together shelters and rescue groups to showcase great pets for adoption. Hundreds of pets have found loving homes at our fun-filled events.

Our Stay at Home Rescue program has saved animals and helped many people along the way without the need for a shelter or foster homes. The program also supports good Samaritans and independent rescuers helping animals in their communities. In the first month of the program, 14 wonderful pets were placed in new homes.

Our Montclair Trap Neuter Return (TNR) program has spayed and neutered over 600 cats since its inception in October 2004. The program has helped reduce the number of kittens entering the local shelter, helped these outdoor cats live a healthier and happier life, and supported local residents with their cat concerns.

Our rescue transports bring highly adoptable, at-risk animals to loving families wanting to adopt and save a life, rather than patronize pet stores and puppy millers. Thanks to your support, puppies and dogs are given a new life rather than being destroyed.

Shelter Showcase never discriminates by breed and is committed to evaluating each dog as an individual to ensure the best adoption matches. The media has falsely given the public the sense that particular breeds are dangerous, rather than teaching the public how to prevent dog attacks, which is by spaying and neutering your pets (intact dogs are responsible for 97% of all fatal and severe dog attacks) and socializing and supervising your dog as part of the family.

Pit bulls are a victim of the media stereotypes. The dogs should be evaluated as individuals, but typically they are eager to please and easily trained; they are couch potatoes with a playful energetic flair, and most commonly, they are great cuddle partners. The breed’s fighting background required them to be excellent with people, because their handlers needed to be able to grab the dog without fear of the dog redirecting and biting.

We look forward to a long road ahead of developing new ideas and implementing dreams for successful and life-saving adoptions. If you feel that you can contribute to our efforts, please contact us and let us know. Please volunteer or donate today to be part of our life-saving mission.
