Mission Statement

The mission of People for Animals, Inc. is to prevent animal suffering through affordable essential healthcare, public policy advocacy, and community programs. Our vision is a healthy, happy life for every animal.

Description

People for Animals, Inc. has been providing low-cost, high-volume spay/neuter services in New Jersey since 1983. Over the years, PFA has grown to become the leading provider of spay/neuter services with clinics in Hillside, Robbinsville, and Millville. Our three clinics employ 13 licensed veterinarians who care for over 30,000 of our state’s animal companions every year.

Our key service to the public and animal welfare groups is affordable, routine pet care which is aimed at specifically driving more animals to early spay/neuter procedures to prevent accidental pregnancies, make pet ownership more affordable, and reduce the numbers of homeless animals in local shelters.

We work to ensure that all families have access to affordable pet care through a variety of programs including: Low Cost Spay/Neuter & Wellness Services | Community Outreach | Humane Education | Public Policy Advocacy | Rescue Partnerships | the Sweet Pea Medical Fund | and the Whole Families Program.
