Humans need to stay home under the lockdown. The zoo is closed but the animals are still there. Without admission tickets, funds for food, medicine, and operating costs have stopped. Popcorn Park Zoo rescues domesticated animals and wildlife.  In addition to the animals on display there is a dog shelter on the property.

Would you please donate to give financial support to animals that need it most?

Our fundraising team consists of one rock band, one photographer, and one organization that is passionate about this zoo and the work that they do.  

Annually since 2011, Rock 2 Adopt has held a music festival at Popcorn Park Zoo to raise money and to find homes for sheltered dogs at the zoo  This year the event is scheduled again. However, it remains to be seen if it is allowed to happen and as to what capacity.  As with everything else the future looks grim.

We made a music video! 

The video has been made to raise funds  and generate awareness of Popcorn Park's dedication to the domestic and wildlife it cares for and with certainty that the song's message will continue on once this pandemic is over.

One Band. One filmmaker. One GoPro. One Cause. 

New Jersey based band, Ripped, and photographer/filmmaker Franco Frassetti of Mudbuk.com  were out one rainy Sunday morning volunteering and decided upon a video to benefit Popcorn Park Zoo. Following social distancing guidelines, the band performed as one GoPro camera was repeatedly mounted and handheld.

Swan was written by Ripped and former bassist, Jack France. Steven Keller, founder and guitarist of Ripped, wrote the song with Popcorn Park Zoo in mind.

With the Zoo closed during this pandemic, it still must feed the animals. The Zoo is  part of the Associated Humane Societies, Inc., It's mission as stated on its website "...is to consistently provide the highest quality of care to all animals, domestic and wildlife, including their rescue, housing, veterinary care, placement whenever possible, and when required, a peaceful end."

Thank you!

We are asking for help for our handsome boy Buddha. Buddha is here at the Associated Humane Societies in Tinton Falls NJ. He came in a bubbly, happy boy. He has been with us since May 2021. He was adopted during the pandemic (elsewhere) then surrendered to the Humane Society when his new adopters realized they did not have the time for him any longer. Our staff noticed Buddha was not feeling so well and was diagnosed with kennel cough on June 28th. By July 1st our volunteers and staff noticed Buddha was not keeping food down and he had a drastic loss of weight. Buddha was also feeling very down. We ran blood work but in the state he was in we were not going to take any chances. We had no choice but to send him to an outside Veterinary hospital.

He was given immediate supportive care, and they took radiographs. What they were able to see is that Buddha had already had a previous surgery due to an obstruction and the scar tissue narrowed his abdomen. Buddha then needed additional surgery to remove the narrowed section of his intestines and required 3 more days of supportive care. The medical paperwork and bill will all be attached in the photos. Any amount will help us and contribute to the payment of his large hospital bill. Buddha thankfully is back with us and doing well. A huge thank you to all at Garden State Veterinary Hospital for saving our boy!!!!
