Manahawkin Animal Shelter Still Needs Donations: How To Help

MANAHAWKIN, NJ — As the 180 dogs and cats rescued from the Brick hoarder home last weekend begin to get processed and slowly made ready for adoption, the Southern Ocean County Animal Facility is still seeking donations.

To be prepared for adoption, the animals have to be groomed, treated if needed, vaccinated, microchipped and spayed/neutered. Read More: Animals From Brick Hoarding Turned Over To Ocean County
