WHO WE ARE

For over a century Associated Humane Societies have offered a haven to abused and neglected animals. Founded in 1906, AHS is the LARGEST animal sheltering system in New Jersey. We operate four shelters located in Newark, Tinton Falls, Forked River and Vineland. Our Forked River facility also includes Popcorn Park. Established in 1977, Popcorn Park is a sanctuary for abandoned, injured, ill, exploited, abused or elderly-exotic animals, birds, farm animals and wildlife (both domestic and exotic).

TALENT + CULTURE AT AHS

At AHS, we want our team and the animals in our care to feel safe, secure and valued. Animal Rescue is a very challenging and very rewarding environment.

AHS is looking for an energetic & enthusiastic Animal Control Officer. In this vital role, the Animal Control Officer will be promoting animal welfare and ensuring public safety by working closely with local health departments, law enforcement, and the community at large.
