BRIDGEWATER, NJ — After the Somerset Regional Animal Shetler(SRAS) took in 35 cats and 20 dogs and needed help to care for them, the public responded in a generous way.
"The article just for Sunday and Monday brought in about $3,000," said Shelter Manager Brian Bradshaw of Patch's weekend article highlighting the rescues.
Bradshaw was very thankful for the generous donations to help out the volunteer-based shelter at 100 Commons Way in Bridgewater.

The influx of pets was due to other New Jersey shelters being unable to house or care for these animals so SRAS, a volunteer-run shelter, stepped up to help out.
The shelter, which runs on donations, is always in need of pet food and supplies, and monetary donations.
