Pennsauken animal shelter to close, transition to foster-based rescue Broadway violinist performs for abused animals Replay Video UP NEXT PENNSAUKEN — The calico cat greeted a visitor to Almost Home Animal Shelter with a loud meow! from its crate, separated from other felines by a room but still making its presence known. The shelter's front office was in disarray, but that's to be expected, given the shelter's looming deadline to vacate the rented space in an industrial building just off Route 130 in Pennsauken. Nancy Welsh, the shelter's founder, apologized for the chaos, but she and the shelter's small staff and volunteers have been concentrating less on organization and more on finding homes for the cats and dogs in their care.
