Investigation underway after a weeks-old puppy was found abandoned close to death in Monmouth County

- New Jersey, USA -


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.

New London Police investigate after fireworks were intentionally shot at dog kennels at a shelter

- Connecticut, USA -


Officials are investigating after fireworks were shot into dog kennels at the New London Animal Shelter in Connecticut on the Fourth of July.

Animal Control Officer Robert Yuchniuk found the evidence the following day.

He told WTNH: “I saw a whole bunch of the fireworks inside the fenced-in area and then some actually exploded pieces inside the kennel section where we keep the dogs.”


Part of a Facebook post published by the Waterford-East Lyme Animal Control on July 5, read: ”This morning we arrived at the New London Animal shelter in Bates Woods Park, and it looks like a war zone with all the expended firework debris in our parking lot. There is even a spot of grass that had been lit on fire overnight, burning several square feet of dried grass. While cleaning the kennels today, i found a whole bunch of debris INSIDE the dog kennels, this tells me that someone was intentionally shooting fireworks at the dogs in the kennels. I can only imagine how frightened the twelve dogs in the kennel last night were. This is a miserable place for the animals on the best days, last night must have been unbearable.”


According to the agency, the New London Police responded to the park several times but unfortunately officers were not able to locate those responsible for such evil acts.

Police called the New London Fire Department because a small area of grass had caught fire.


Unfortunately, the shelter does not have a surveillance system and the only witnesses are the VOICELESS VICTIMS who have suffered a great deal at the hands of these evil, soulless, and heartless individuals.


While Officer Yuchnuik said: “Maybe we can have a conversation with the municipal governments about putting some cameras down here and, hopefully, get the word out,” we have to make sure that these monsters are identified and face legal consequences.


If you have information about who may be involved in this crime, please contact the New London Police Department at (860) - 447 - 5269 ext. 0.
