Nutley Business Highlight: People for Animals

 

If you have a pet, you know how quickly they become part of the family. They give us constant unfiltered love. At Nutley Kia, we are animal lovers and care deeply about their safety and well-being. That’s why we are proud to highlight one of our favorite animal shelters in New Jersey.

People for Animals has had an incredible impact on our local environment. This independent nonprofit animal welfare organization was originally founded in 1980. Shortly after, they participated in a pilot program to reduce animal overpopulation.

 

 

Now, People for Animals has three locations in Hillside, Robbinsville, and Clayton New Jersey. In 1985, they opened the state’s first Low Cost Spay/Neuter Clinic of its kind. Since then, People for Animals has had a sole mission: to prevent animal suffering through essential healthcare, public policy advocacy, and community programs!

Between their three locations, People for Animals care for more than 22,000 animals a year. They also spay and neuter around 17,000 animals in their clinics. Spreading the word about this amazing organization is crucial because they rely solely on private donations, grants, bequests, and fundraising events.
