Every shelter pet deserves a home where they feel safe and loved. Currently, 22 dogs and 16 cats are available for adoption at the Southern Ocean County Animal Facility in Manahawkin – among them a sweet, friendly pair of bonded pups named Petey and Piggie. This 1-year-old brother and sister duo had a rough start in life, and they’re now ready for a residence they can call their own, hopefully together.

“Petey and Piggie have been with us since April 25, almost eight weeks,” said Dianne Silva from Friends of the Southern Ocean County Animal Shelter.
