Update, June 14: What an exciting weekend at St. Hubert’s! Hundreds came out to meet our dogs, cats and small animals. All dogs from the Howell case that were available for adoption are spoken for and have gone to new homes with a bright future ahead! There are a small handful of dogs that need additional support in acclimating and are in foster care. We also have some “Mamas” who are currently caring for their babies and will need loving homes once the puppies are available for adoption.

Yesterday was an incredible day at St. Hubert's and we are now taking applications for newborns who will be available for adoption in 8-10 weeks.

We are still in great need of financial support to help cover the expenses St. Hubert's incurred over the last week. If you'd like to donate and find out more information, please visit www.sthuberts.org/howelldogrescue.

On June 3rd, St. Hubert's Animal Welfare Center assisted the Monmouth County SPCA with the rescue of 280 dogs from a hoarding case in Howell, New Jersey. We welcomed over 141 dogs and puppies to our shelters, and our dedicated staff is giving them the love and care they need. Click here for more information on this case.
The dogs we welcomed into our care from this case require medical attention, including vaccines, dewormers, and spay/neuter services, as well as treatment for conditions such as skin issues and fleas. We welcomed puppies and new and pregnant mothers into our shelters, who need special care, supplies, and nutrition.
We need your help. Please consider making a donation below--donations in all amounts will be greatly appreciated and allocated towards the care that these dogs so greatly need and deserve; for example, a donation of $25 will help fund vaccines and dewormers.
