Pet of the Week: Luna Needs a Forever Home

Meet Luna, a beautiful and spirited dog currently waiting for her forever family at the Jersey  Shore Animal Center in Brick. With her infectious smile and happy demeanor, Luna embodies the joy and loyalty that makes dogs such wonderful companions.

Luna is looking for a family who will appreciate her friendly personality and give her the love and attention she deserves. She's ready to bring sunshine into someone's life and become their most faithful friend.

The Jersey Shore Animal Center, located at 185 Brick Boulevard in Brick, has been serving our community since 2000, helping thousands of animals find loving homes. Their adoption fee of $250 for dogs includes spay/neuter surgery, age-appropriate vaccinations, microchip
and registration, and a comprehensive going-home information packet.
If you're ready to open your heart and home to a deserving pet, Luna and many other wonderful animals are waiting to meet you.

The shelter offers tours Tuesday through Sunday from 1-4 PM, and meet-and-greets are conducted by appointment with approved applications.

Could Luna be the perfect addition to your family?

Contact the Jersey Shore Animal Center at (732) 920-1600 or visit jerseyshoreanimalcenter.org to learn more about the adoption process.
Every pet deserves a second chance at happiness.
