Show you care about New Jersey's COMPANION ANIMALS

From the very young to the very old, pets bring joy to people's lives. They offer unconditional love, warmth, trust and friendship to those who love them.

They bring joy to our lives. In return, we take care of their needs to ensure they are happy and healthy. Unfortunately, there are many dogs, cats, puppies and kittens that have no one to care for them and never will.

By purchasing this special animal welfare plate for your vehicle, you can help prevent the birth of unwanted puppies and kittens.

Be ANIMAL FRIENDLY

Monies generated from these special plate sales will help fund the animal population control program run by the Department of Health. The program provides low cost spaying and neutering for thousands of pets and encourages the adoption of thousands more each year in New Jersey.
