Abandoned Dogs Seek New Home In Monmouth County

MONMOUTH COUNTY, NJ — Three dogs who were left abandoned in a home after their owner moved out are now looking for their second chance and a forever home, the Monmouth County SPCA said Wednesday.

Butterball (four years old), Scotch (six years old) and Armeni (three years old) were left "scared and confused" after their owner moved out of their home, according to SPCA officials.

Though the three were left in the house, officials said that "didn’t stop their tails from wagging," and the pups are now seeking their second chance in a new home.

Details on the dogs are:

• Butterball: Described as a “water boy” who loves anything with a hose or doggy pool. Weighs about 48 lbs. and “warms up to new people after some treats and gentle pets.”
• Scotch: Plays with squeaky toys like a puppy and loves to romp around the SPCA’s play-yard until it’s nap time. Weighs about 70 lbs.
• Armeni: A 42 lbs. pitbull who’s friendly with new people and likes petting and backscratches.

The Monmouth County SPCA is open seven days a week with varying hours:

• Monday: 12-5 p.m.
• Tuesday: 12-5 p.m.
• Wednesday-Friday: 12-7 p.m.
• Saturday-Sunday: 12-5 p.m.

For those interested in adopting a dog, officials said their adoption floor is not open to walk throughs, as they have found stress-levels, fear and anxiety of their dogs have decreased by limiting foot traffic.

Anyone who visits the shelter can view photos, bios, and videos of available dogs and speak with an adoption counselor to meet any dog in one of the shelter's meet and greet rooms or their fenced in park.
