The two dogs that Raintree residents say terrorized their neighborhood for weeks, was captured moments ago, DPW Supervisor Tony Arrechi tells TLS.
Both dogs were captured without incident by Animal Control Officer McAllister and Tony Arrechi in a resident’s backyard.
The dogs, one adult female Boxer and one juvenile male, did not display any aggressive behaviors when encountered, Arrechi says. They were taken to the Ocean County Animal Shelter.
“A summons will be issued to the owner for Running at Large Twp. ord. 5-8.6,” Arrechi says.

Summons?? How about jail???
Thank you to the DPW and Animal Control for being on top of the situation!
Jail ? For what?
Yes, a summons and also they must surrender the dogs.
If the dogs are not aggressive and didn’t bite anyone then they can be adopted out to someone else.
If they did kill cats,this a normal respondance for some dogs.
Cats run,dogs chase,such is nature.
thank you animal control!!
1.THEY CAME OUT EVERY TIME THEY WERE CALLED
2.THEY WERE NOT SCARED TO APPROACH THE DOGS
3. THEY WERE A PROFESSIONAL TEAM THAT KNEW EXACTLY WHAT TO DO
Thank you TLS for helping to bring awareness to this issue thereby putting pressure on our public servants to get this matter resolved
What a miracle! Last week they were pit bulls, now they are boxers.
boxers aren’t pitbulls
boxers arena dangerous dogs
Not pitbulls? Only boxers! Now boxers I can handle, but still keep your dog inside your property. And yes a summons is appropriate.
If they lose their dogs, they deserve it. Everyone knows you have to keep you dog in your property or on a leash.
Last week so many comments were talking about kill the dogs and how vicious and dangerous they were…. now the breed is clarified and it makes it better? Education is key with any dog regardless of the breed so is responsible ownership.
I love all of the people on here who are animal experts despite never owning one. Everybody automatically assumes that pit bulls are vicious fighting dogs. Stop assuming. You don’t like when people assume that the orthodox community are terrible drivers and other stereotypes so stop.
Go kevin!
Hey mark
Are you saying that pit bulls aren’t dangerous animals?? I hope not vuz you’d be wrong! Everyone knows pit bulls are bred to kill.
And jail is appropriate because the owners didn’t care enough about the neighborhood & terrorized all the children. If it was up to me I’d make sure they never owned a dog again.
Mark,
Seriously? You’re comparing a dog to a person? Not a great way to flaunt your intelligence.
Whether true or not, being a terrible driver is not the same as killing a kid or a senior citizen… pit bulls are notorious for stealing those headlines.
If those dogs were in my yard (like the photo from the other TLS article) there would have been no need for animal control.
Which animals aren’t dangerous? Salamanders / frogs/ turtles/ chicks can carry salmonella, guinea pigs carry ringworm, cats can cause toxemia, horses kick, dogs bite, eh, no ones safe… The fact that u state that pitbulls are ‘bred to kill’ displays your ignorance. Stupidity is the most dangerous. Please get educated. Any loose dog is a danger, altho Iwill agree pits are a very strong breed and therefore more so
