"The Monmouth County SPCA has benefitted from the talent and generosity of The Wag for the last 18 years," said Executive Director Ross Licitra, "This holiday season, we are especially excited to partner with The Wag for a Christmas Spectacular that will not only be fun for the entire family, but will help to find new homes and resources for the many abused, abandoned and homeless animals we care for."
