We all know that regular exercise is important for our mental health and physical well-being. This applies to our pets, too! These are just some of the benefits your dog will receive from a daily walk.

Mental stimulation

Being cooped up in the house all day is not that exciting for our social canine friends. Some pets resort to destructive behaviors when they become bored. Getting out and about to smell the air, see birds and squirrels, and say hello to neighborhood friends will go a long way to relieving pent up energy and stress. [continue reading…]

Name:     Pito

Age:        9 months old

Sex:        Male

Breed:     Sato

Hi, I’m Pito.  I am about 9 months old, and I came to NJ from Puerto Rico.  I can be a little shy at first, but I do come out of my shell.

I am lucky enough to be in a foster home, where I’m doing great with my foster doggie “sister” and my human friends, too. Watch my video on the MCSPCA website!  You won’t believe how happy I am!! I jump all over my humans, and I give them lots of kisses, too.  It would be great if there was another dog in my new family, so he/she could show me the ropes. I like cats, too! Call first if you’re interested in me!
