Dog from Hazlet Needs New Home

Meet Chico, our Point Pet of the Week, who was returned by his family after a year because the other dog in the home didn't get along with him.

The Monmouth County SPCA says Chico was originally rescued off the streets of Puerto Rico where he was homeless. This sweet dog can be shy around new people but once he warms up he is so friendly.

His previous family says he loves to snuggle and is just a complete sweetheart with those he knows. Chico is very playful and loves to fetch. He'll play for hours if you indulge him. And he knows a lot of his basic commands and can even catch treats in the air.

Chico loves long car rides and long walks on the beach, too! So if you would like to meet him, please visit him at the Eatontown location , 260 Wall Street. Adoption hours are:

Noon - 7 pm Wednesdays through Fridays,

Noon - 5 pm Saturdays through Mondays,

CLOSED TUESDAYS.

For more info, call 732-542-4552 or email adoptions@monmouthcountyspca.org. Adoption counselors will answer all of your questions.

If you live in the Englishtown area, the MCSPCA will be at Rick's Saddle Shop (29 Park Ave., Englishtown) this Saturday, April 1st, from Noon - 3 pm, with some wonderful adoptable animals. Bring your family and your pets with you to see if your family can all agree on another pet, and then you could go home with one!
