How do you get started?
- Before you make your adoption, contact PASS and let us know that you would like to participate in the Pets for Seniors Program and a PASS volunteer will return your call to discuss the details. There are no residency restrictions.
- Visit with a qualified and participating shelter or rescue group, and either the Animal Control Officers or group representative will help you complete an adoption form and find the best pet for you.
Certain restrictions apply and this offer may be withdrawn at any time. The Shelters/Rescue Groups reserve the right to refuse any adoptions. This offer applies to NEW adoptions only.
And remember to PASS the word along
To adopt a Shelter Pet
"Pets for Seniors" Program provides financial benefits to Seniors adopting a new pet from a qualified and participating shelter or rescue group.

In 2007, we expanded our "Pets for Seniors" to include animals adopted from the Montville Animal Shelter located at 86 River Road, Montville, NJ. PASS, in partnership with a qualified and participating shelters or rescue groups, wants to help match the right pet to a potential owner. Chances are good that by adopting a cat or dog from the shelter, you will have found a wonderful, loving animal who will be eternally loyal to his or her new "forever" family. It's a proven fact that together, Pets and Seniors live longer happier lives.
You may qualify for certain benefits including financial assistance, if you are a Senior (aged 62 or older), and adopt a senior pet (dogs aged 4 or older, or cats aged 5 or older) from a qualified shelter or rescue group.
Benefits may include some, but not necessarily all, of the following:
- Refund of your adoption fee. (proof of adoption is required)
- Free spay/neuter and initial vaccinations at one of our Spay Day Events or from a PASS participating veterinarian.
- Payment of your pet deposit, if required by your senior housing development. You agree that if a "pet deposit" is advanced on your behalf, the funds will be returned to the "Pets for Seniors" program in the event you no longer have a pet or no longer reside at the facility. We hope that this will ensure the continuation of available funds for new partners in the program.
- Adoption Kit, which may contain a new pet bed, litter box & litter, collar & leash, water & feeding bowls, together with a few toys, to get you and your new companion started off on the right paw.
