The family described the unit they rented as uninhabitable. The discovery forced them find alternate arrangements on a busy holiday weekend.

The Monmouth County prosecutor's office is now looking for 36-year-old Aaron Davis.

A woman walking on the beach in Highlands early Monday spotted the gray and white puppy cowering in a cage as the tide came in.

The woman who rescued "River" plans to adopt him.
