What’s a motto? Nothing, what’s the motto with you? Meet our dignified, 81lb Simba. While others search for what they can take, a true king searches for what he can give… and this royal Pitbull Mix can give you some company! At 6-years-old, this stoic, even-tempered pup is the kind of guy who wants to sit on the couch with you and watch some good movies. After saving Pride Rock, he is looking for some balance in his circle of life, taking nice strolls seeing everything the light touches. Like any lion, this one loves his food so please allow him to enjoy his meals and treats in peace. Simba would love adopters who would respect his independent life style when it comes to food and toys. As my friends once told me: you got to put your behind in your past… and find a family who loves you.
The Monmouth County SPCA is open for walk-ins every day, starting at noon!

How to Adopt a Pet
Can't adopt? Join our Sponsor a Pet Program!
Adoption Hours:
Monday 12-5pm
Tuesday 12-5pm
Wednesday 12-7pm
Thursday 12-7pm
Friday 12-7pm
Saturday/Sunday 12-5pm
We only do adoptions in person (please bring all family members).
We will ask you to fill out an Adoption Survey and speak with an Adoption Counselor to help find your perfect match!
You can save time and fill out a survey online, they are also available at the shelter. Completing a survey does not secure any animal for adoption. You do not need to submit a survey to visit, nor do you need to receive a response to a survey to visit. The survey is NOT an application that needs approval.
Adopting a pet is a lifelong commitment, so finding the right match is very important.
Finding the perfect pet takes time. The process usually takes at least an hour, so please plan accordingly. All adoption paperwork must be submitted to the front desk one hour before closing.
Adopters are encouraged to bring their own carrier or leash and collar.
