By Catherine Galioto HOWELL – Kent Road remains closed with detours in place for a reconstruction project by the township. Detours begin at Lanes Mill Road and Kent, with traffic sent either down Lanes Mills or to Church Road as part of the detour. The left turn lane from Lanes Mills is closed to divert traffic northbound to the Church Road detour, and the straight-through
lane on Kent Road is closed to divert traffic onto Lanes Mills toward Route 9. The closed portion stretches to Kent Road’s border with Jackson, meaning traffic would be diverted onto Bethel Church, Ford Road or Route 9 instead of Kent. The closures began July 5 and were planned for eight weeks, to complete drainage improvements, pavement repair, resurfacing and restoration.

Monmouth Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA) said all the dogs are “doing pretty well.” Between 50 and 60 dogs have already been adopted. Healthwise, most of the dogs were in good shape. A few of them had parasite issues which have since been taken care of. As officials and animal shelter staff converged on the home to assist the rescue, several dogs were discovered pregnant while another set had given birth. Since the rescue, none of the dogs have died or needed to be
euthanized, officials said. As a result of behavioral issues, approximately 20 dogs were sent to foster homes, Nuccio said. None were aggressive or violent but they were nervous, scared and emotionally shut down. “Just trying to bring them out of their shell” said Nuccio, regarding the dogs in foster care. Between 30 and 40 dogs still remain with the Monmouth SPCA and are still seeking new homes. Meanwhile, the homeowners face more than 500 counts of (Dogs - See Page 5)
