I’m Ellodin, a 7-year-old Senior Pitbull weighing 56 pounds. Brought to the MCSPCA when my original home wasn’t the perfect match, I’m searching for a second chance at forever!
Being in a shelter environment after living in my home for 7 years of my life has been a culture shock. Everything I have ever known has been flipped upside down and left me a bit nervous and anxious. But can you blame me? It may take some time before I can trust again, so I would love if my new adopters were calm and polite. It will be a process getting to know one another, but it will be worth it! I have been known to get attached to my person, so one loyal buddy I will be. Just don’t share your attention with any other pets, I would prefer to be the only spoiled king!
Is your home filled with tender, loving care? That’s exactly what I’m craving. Will you give that to me? 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.
