I’m Princess, a 6-year-old Pitbull/Lab Mix weighing 51 pounds. Having a challenging start to life, I was heavily crated and didn’t getting along with the other dogs in the home. I’m now happy to be with my new friends at the MCSPCA where I can finally be treated like royalty.
One guaranteed energizer bunny, I’m a girl who is always on the go.. bouncy and bubbly along the way. Don’t let my “short rider” size fool you! I’m one athletic lady on leash so it’s best that my adopters always have a good handle on me. While do I enjoy my outdoor exercise, I’m not too fond of passing other canine friends, so changing direction or playing a game of frogger across neighborhood blocks will be a great option for us. Since I will have to be spoiled solo pet, it will give us extra special time bonding with each other! Win, win!
Once we’re back on home turf, running in a yard would be a life worth living since I spent way too much time in a crate squished and uncomfortable. Watching me run and play with my toys is sure to keep anyone entertained with a big smile!
If you are ready to give me the life I was deprived of for so long, I’m ready to meet you! The Monmouth County SPCA is open for walk-ins every day, starting at noon!




How to Adopt a Pet

Adoption Hours:

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.
