Dogs and cats throughout New Jersey are awaiting adoption.
Here is this week's collection of some of the dogs and cats in need of adoption in northern and central New Jersey.
We are now accepting dogs and cats to appear in the gallery from nonprofit shelters and rescues in all of New Jersey's 21 counties.
If a group wishes to participate in this weekly gallery on nj.com, please contact Greg Hatala at ghatala@starledger.com or call 973-836-4922.
More pets in need of adoption can be seen here and here.
