They say that all of the animals appeared to have been properly fed. Police are waiting on vet reports to see if the animals had any health issues.
“All animals are being sheltered at the Northern and Southern Ocean County Animal Facilities which are under direction of the Ocean County Health Department,” police wrote in a statement.
