Story
I'm potty trained, crate trained and know a bunch of commands. (sit, lay down, come, drop it, leave it, off, spin, crawl etc). I love to play fetch and romp at the beach. I'm very food motivated, love to train and learn new things! I’m a big fan of puzzles, lick mats and enrichment toys. I am very sensitive to loud noises. I am on medicine due to behavioral problems which require someone with prior dog experience to handle. We are looking someone who has experience with reactive dogs and high energy breeds. Things to know about Theo if you're interested in adopting her: It's highly recommended that you have a yard as Theo gets anxious walking and this needs to be worked on over time through positive training, not something she can be forced through. She is good with kids and dogs but it is recommended that you don’t have any in your home, due to her energy and temperament. Theo resource guards her food and anything else she deems high value.

Story
I’m Tommy B, a 2 ½ year-old Pitbull weighing 66 pounds of happy-go-lucky energy. Currently, I’m thriving in a loving foster home where I’m proud to have an A+ report card! Not to brag, but I’m described as a 5-star pawfect house guest! Housebroken- check! Doesn’t beg at the dinner table-check! Sleeps through the night- check! During outdoor adventures, I can be an athletic dude who follows his nose, becoming very curious about any furry critters that cross my path. Good news though-I’m easily distracted with treats, calm pep talks and butt rubs. After a fun afternoon of much needed physical exercise, I’ll curl up on the comfy cozy couch for some ZzZzZzs. If you are looking for a fun companion, I have the heart (and ears) for you! Come ask about me! The Monmouth County SPCA is open for walk-ins every day, starting at noon!

Story
From a Galaxy not too far from away, meet our 2 year old retired mama Galaxy. This 43 pound Pittie Mix is looking for a calm home to call her own, after her world was turned upside down. Rescued from an alleged dog fighting ring, Galaxy arrived nervous and afraid. During her medical workup, it was determined she was pregnant! Most likely used for breeding, Galaxy Girl was quickly placed into a loving foster home where she could rest and take care of her babies in peace. With time, this sweet-shy girl glows with bouncy bubbly energy. She’s ready to make a big bang into your life if you’re ready to join her. A home that allows her to be the only spoiled pet would help her reach for the stars! Her future is ready to shine bright with you! The Monmouth County SPCA is open for walk-ins every day, starting at noon!

Pit Bull Terrier

Eatontown, NJ

Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Pluto may no longer be considered a planet, but this Pluto is #1 in our orbit! At 2 years old, this dwarf Pitbull weighs 48 pounds of resilience. Saved from an alleged dog fighting ring, Pluto arrived bloody; covered in multiple bites and scars. Thanks to our amazing medical team, Pluto has had an amazing glow-up! He’s happy, healthy, and finally knows what it feels like to be loved. A friendly boy who loves to play, Pluto would benefit from experienced adult owners as he doesn’t like to share his toys. A spoiled life without any other pets would really make his tail wag! If you are ready to open up your home to a deserving boy, come in to meet him! The Monmouth County SPCA is open for walk-ins every day, starting at noon.

Story
If you KNOW huskies, then you know Arctic. Arctic is 3-years-young and came to us as a lost dog that was never claimed. What we know about him is that he loves to be outside, like most dogs his breed! Arctic is smart (sometimes too smart for his own good) and is an escape artist so a secure yard where he can roam and hang would be a must for him. While Arctic does love his human friends here, he’s not the type to accept unwanted or sudden hugs or handling – rest assured though, when he’s looking for some gentle affection.. he’ll come to you. Arctic has shown that he is a sweet and and loving boy with the people he trusts the most. The best thing about Arctic is that he shows clear signs when he’s uncomfortable which is why an experienced adopter or rescue is a must for him. Arctic has been on pair-walks with other dogs and has done well – we do this he could co-exist with another compatible dog in his new home. Arctic will need a low-traffic, adult only environment where he can learn to be the great dog we know he is!
