Not Your Average Rescues!
In mid-March, our Animal Control Officers responded to a call from a property owner in Tinton Falls concerned about some abandoned fish. Upon arrival, officers discovered about a dozen goldfish living in a swampy makeshift pond at the back of the property. It turned out that these little guys were left behind when the tenant moved away 😥 A friend of the MCSPCA with multiple ponds on his property offered to give them a fin-tastic home where they will live happily with other fishy friends.
There must have been something in the water, because later that same month, our ACOs responded to a call about abandoned fish in Eatontown. Once again, a tenant had packed up and left! Fortunately, with the assistance of the Jersey Shore Aquarium Society and All About Pets of Sea Girt, the fish were quickly removed and rehomed. The sweet swimmers were donated to a local hospital and an elementary school, where they will be cared for and admired as they should be!
