A2833

New Jersey A2833 allows veterinarians to transfer ownership of animals to shelters or homes instead of euthanizing them, if certain conditions are.

New Jersey A2833 amends the "New Jersey Unretrieved Animal Act" to allow veterinarians to transfer ownership of animals to suitable homes or shelters instead of euthanizing them, under specific conditions. This applies when the animal is physically healthy, the euthanasia request is due to behavioral issues, the animal poses no permanent threat to public safety, and the veterinarian determines the animal can be rehabilitated. The owner must be informed that the animal can be rehabilitated before the transfer.
