The Monmouth County SPCA is reaching out to the public for information regarding a puppy who was found abandoned on the brink of death in Neptune.
In a Facebook post, the Monmouth County SPCA said that on the late night of Sunday, May 7, 2023, its Animal Control Division responded to a call about a puppy left on the side of the road in the Myrtle Avenue area.
Upon arrival, officers found “an emaciated 8-week-old puppy”. The female furbaby, whom the organization named Matilda, was “skin and bones”, she had difficulty breathing and was “unable to lift her head”.
Matilda was immediately rushed to the Monmouth County SPCA’s shelter for urgent medical care. She was wrapped in warm blankets and given IV fluids. According to the Monmouth County SPCA, Matilda was “shaking and whimpering” and staff was not sure she was going to make it. “Matilda has been minimally responsive to our care, and she's still in critical condition but we're doing our absolute best to keep her comfortable”, said the Monmouth County SPCA.
If you wish, and can afford to donate toward Matilda’s medical care, as well as toward all the other Voiceless Victims in the care of the Monmouth County SPCA, please click here. Thank you!
As for the criminal aspect of this case, the Monmouth County SPCA is investigating this abhorrent act and is looking for information leading to a criminal conviction of the monster(s) who did this to an innocent breathing being.
If you have any information that can help with the investigation, please call the Monmouth County SPCA ‘s Humane Law Enforcement Division at (732) - 440 - 1539.
Remember, Paws Can’t Dial, but you can! Thank you!

Bless Baby Matilda. All Animal abuse must be considered felonies, for all animals have souls & are sentient beings, just like some humans. There are the exception to this rule, rules broken by humans. To purposely starve any animal to the brink of death before discarding in fear of being discovered is reprehensible & must be punishable by PRISON! Please get better Matilda.
