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.
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.
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.
