Romeo

Oh Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art thou my forever family? Greetings, my name is Romeo. I’m a dashing young bachelor at the handsome age of 2-years-old. The strength of my good looks will have you saying “ooooo” and “awww”, and the strength of my 61 pounds muscles will having you saying “wooow”. My friends call me passionate, as I take toy time very serious; so it’s best to keep my play at a calm level as I tend to bubble over from excitement. Still very much a sensitive soul, slow introductions are best as we work on our bonding!

Come meet this lover boy! The Monmouth County SPCA is open for walk-ins every day, starting at noon!

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!

We are open to the public for walk-ins! If you are interested in adopting a dog, please be aware that our adoption floor is not open to walk through as we have found stress-levels, fear and anxiety of our dogs have decreased by limiting foot traffic. This results in a calmer living environment and a huge reduction of stress related behaviors. We have found that happier, less stressed dogs, ultimately lead to more successful adoptions too! Anyone who visits our shelter can view photos, bios, and videos of our available dogs and speak with an adoption counselor to meet any dog in one of our “meet and greet” rooms or our fenced in park. The cat floor is open to walk through.

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.
