Over 133 Animals Rescued in Brick Township
According to Brick Township Police Department, they received a call from a resident who lives on Mantoloking Road in Brick Township on Friday night, May 5.
The resident, Jeffrey Finlay, made the request for help because there were too many animals inside his own home.

According to Smith, all of the animals are awaiting veterinary reports and appear to have been fed appropriately. The Ocean County Health Department is in charge of the Northern and Southern Ocean County Animal Facilities, which are housing all animals.
Brick Township resident, Jeffrey Finlay was charged with NJ 4:22-17a(4) disorderly persons offense: failure to provide care of a living animal or creature, and two township ordinance violations: Failure to license an animal and violating the prohibition against harboring five or more cats/dogs/ combination.
