OCEAN TOWNSHIP, N.J. — Two friendly dogs were found roaming a residential area near Augusta and Bryant streets, prompting Ocean Township police to ask for the public’s help in locating their owner. The pups, both appearing well-kept and approachable, were taken in after being spotted unattended.

Police said the dogs were found together and are currently safe. Anyone who recognizes them or has information about their owner is urged to contact Ocean Township Police dispatch at 609-693-4007.

Found together in residential area

The dogs appear to be brown-and-white spaniel-type breeds, both alert and responsive, suggesting they may have recently wandered off or become separated from their home. Their condition and demeanor indicate they are likely family pets rather than strays.

The sighting near Augusta and Bryant—a residential section of Ocean Township—has led officers to believe the owner may live nearby.

What happens next

Police typically hold found animals temporarily while attempting to locate owners. If no one comes forward, the dogs may be transferred to a local shelter or animal control facility, depending on township procedures.

Key Points
• Two dogs found near Augusta and Bryant in Ocean Township
• Police say both animals appear well cared for
