Vineland, NJ — In an exciting move to strengthen its mission, South Jersey Regional Animal Shelter (SJRAS) in Vineland, New Jersey, has officially merged with Associated Humane Societies (AHS), New Jersey’s largest animal welfare organization. The shelter will now operate under the name Associated Humane Societies South, marking a new chapter in its efforts to improve animal welfare in the region. The merger is set to enhance the shelter’s capacity to serve the community and its animals. By combining resources and expertise with AHS, SJRAS will be able to expand its programs, share best practices, and ultimately increase its impact on the lives of pets and people across South Jersey. SJRAS has long relied on the support of its adopters, volunteers, and donors, and their continued dedication has been key to the shelter’s growth and progress. This partnership will allow the shelter to build on its past successes while bringing new energy and support to its life-saving work. As Associated Humane Societies South, the shelter will continue to provide vital services such as pet adoptions, spay/neuter assistance, humane education, and community outreach. The merger aligns with a broader vision to improve animal welfare practices across the state of New Jersey. While the name may have changed, the mission remains the same: to advocate for and protect animals in need. With renewed strength and resources, the shelter looks forward to saving even more lives in the future.
