Nigel of Newark

On 11/20/11, little Nigel was found abandoned in Independence Park in Newark. Cold and hungry, the small terrier was grateful to have someone rescue him and bring him to AHS. Nigel was adopted out twice, and returned for behavior issues.

 After further evaluation, it was thought that sweet Nigel may have a slight neurological disorder, or had suffered some sort of abuse in his past. So, we have added him to our Share-A-Pet program. He now resides in Animal Haven and has lots of playmates, and a big comfy bed to sprawl out on. Although he does not go out with sponsors, he hopes you will enjoy walking his friends instead! Sponsor Nigel today!

Popcorn Park was established in 1977 for the sole purpose of providing a refuge for wildlife that were sick, elderly, abandoned , abused, or injured, and which could no longer survive in its natural habitat. As time went on, we expanded to include exotic and domestic animals. All our residents once faced these circumstances, as well as exploitation and illegal ownership. Over 200 of these animals and birds now live in spacious surroundings in the heart of the scenic Pine Barrens in southern New Jersey. The Refuge, which is federally licensed, comprises seven acres and is graced by the indigenous Scrub Oak and Scrub Pine. You may be greeted at the gate by a gaggle of geese, but soon you will see a marvelous array of animals including a lion and lionesses. tigers, mountain lions, baboons, a serval cat, and more. Many different types of monkeys clamor for your attention in the monkey house, and the Refuge abounds with all kinds of native wildlife such as white-tailed deer, bobcats, and American black bears. Farm animals such as horses, steer. sheep, pigs, llamas and goats often look for a handout, and reptiles and tortoises enjoy their own special house. In addition, you'll find numerous species of birds have made themselves comfortable throughout the park. But what makes Popcorn Park so special is that each animal was rescued from suffering, exploitation and/or death - each has its own unique story to tell. You will learn these stories as you walk through the Refuge and as you visit this section of our web site. You have entered a quiet world where all the residents were once in danger and now are safe. So start your journey - bring your curiosity and respect for these beautiful creatures.
