    Arbor Day may not be untilApril 29, but Evesham residentseager to plant a tree will have achance to snap up a free seedlingon April 16.

    On that day, members of theEvesham Environmental Com-mission will be on hand from 10a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Laurel OakGarden Center, 199 TomlinsonMill Road, to give residents a freetree seedling as part of the NJTree Recovery Campaign.

    The campaign is the partner-ship between the New JerseyForestry Service and the ArborDay Foundation that focuses onproviding trees to communitiesand homeowners in New Jerseythat lost a large number of trees

    several years ago due to Hurri-cane Sandy.

    More than 200,000 trees havebeen distributed through the pro-gram to date, with the goal of thecampaign to distribute more than500,000 tree seedlings to New Jer-sey residents within a five-yeartime span.

    “This has been going on for acouple of years now, and town-ships can apply to the NJ Tree Re-

    covery Campaign, ask for a cer-tain number of trees and justhand them out to the residents,”Evesham Environmental Com-mission member Ila Vassallosaid.

    Vassallo said seedlings wouldbe available to residents on a first-come, first-served basis on April16, at which time residents willalso be provided with guides onhow to store, plant and care fortheir new seedling. The instruc-tions will include informationsuch as how to plant the tree andhow to find the best place on aproperty to plant the tree.

    Residents who are interested inobtaining a seedling of their ownare advised that the seedlingshould be planted within twodays after receiving it to preventthe seedling roots from drying

    out.The seedlings will measure one

    to three feet, although Vassallosaid the specific types of treesavailable won’t be known untilthe environmental commissionreceives the trees.

    “They’re native to the regionthat you’re associated with, so it’sall trees from South Jersey,” Vas-

    Please recyclethis newspaper.

    This is the final week in The

    Sun’s “Help for Homeless Pets”

    series. For four weeks, we have

    looked at the state of homeless pets in

    our region. We interviewed heads of 

    animal shelters, volunteers with res-

    cues and foster families. We talked in-

    take numbers, live release rates and – this week – how to potentially solve

    such a staggering problem.

    There’s no easy solution.

    All of these non-profits are playing

    a huge role in a very public problem.

    They’re doing the best they can – and

    the best they can is nothing to sneeze

    at – but unfortunately, it’s not enough.

    What these non-profits need is more

    public support.

    All of our interviewees agreed that

    a big part of moving forward is educa-

    tion – about the vital importance of 

    spaying and neutering, about ensur-

    ing all pets are microchipped, about

    the lifetime commitment of owning a

    pet.

    This is what we believe the next step

    is – an organization that spearheads

    the homeless animal education cam-

    paign. There is no public education

    about homeless animals at the state

    level, and that’s where this should

    start. Think “Click It or Ticket.”

    Think “Drive Sober or Get Pulled

    Over.” These programs have statefunding to target a statewide problem

    that needs fixing, and homeless ani-

    mals are most definitely a statewide

    problem that needs to be fixed.

    It’s true there are excellent educa-

    tion campaigns already in place at a

    local level. Our shelters and rescues

    work hard to inform the public,

    whether it is with advertising low-cost

    spay and neuter clinics or offering free

    training seminars for problem pets.

    But everything comes down to money,

    and between feeding and housing ani-

    mals, paying employees and purchas-

    ing much-needed items for facilities,

    these shelters and rescues – even

    banded together within towns and

    counties – can only do so much in the

    realm of educating the public.

    There is strength in numbers. What

    if there were more groups such as the

    Camden County Animal Alliance, and

    each had a representative who report-

    ed to one state-level organization?

    What if these alliances helped create a

    state-run alliance solely focused on ed-ucating the public on finding a solu-

    tion to the homeless animal problem?

    The overarching goal of every ani-

    mal shelter and rescue is to not exist.

    Are the employees and volunteers of 

    these organizations passionate? Of 

    course they are. But that doesn’t mean

    they would rather not be needed, be-

    cause if they’re not needed, that

    means every homeless animal – every

    last dog, cat, rabbit and hamster – has

    a home.

    And to make this happen, there

    needs to be more public support.

    There needs to be more public educa-

    tion. And if the state government got

    behind it, we would be one step closer

    to a home for every homeless pet.

    in our opinion

    Animals need statewide supportThe solution to home less animal problem is education, from the top down

    Thousands of animals findthemselves in local shelters eachyear, with no permanent homethrough adoption guaranteed.

    Solving a problem of this mag-nitude will undoubtedly takeyears, but it is clear animal shel-ters across South Jersey have aplan.

    “We think the demand for ourservice will continue to grow,”Animal Welfare Association Ex-ecutive Director Maya Richmond

    said. “One thing we can always besure about moving forward ispeople always having love for ani-mals.”

    It will just be a matter of if these organizations can properly

    capitalize and collaborativelytackle this common goal in an ef-ficient manner.

    Increasing family involvementThe behind-the-scenes plan-

    ning to reduce homeless animalsrequires extensive research, andshelters across the region aredoing their homework. Thegroups strategically plan for thefuture by studying trends.

    They are constantly evaluatingneeds in the community to dis-

    cover consistent ways to provideresources to specific populationsas efficiently as possible. They’realso actively looking for ways toget more families involvedthrough education outreach, en-gagement and service projectsthat bring families and corpora-tions to their location.

    It has been almost threemonths since Shiver found her

    way to the Animal Welfare As-sociation in Voorhees afterbeing abandoned in a box be-hind a local hardware store.Riddled with mammary tu-mors, underweight and dehy-drated, the 13-year-old minia-ture pinscher mix was far fromthe picture of health.

    Thanks to the AWA, thingslook a little different for Shivertoday.

    “It’s amazing what can hap-pen in a few short months,”

    AWA shelter manager NanciKeklak said.

    Shiver recovered from herfirst in a se-ries of 

    surgeries to remove her tu-mors, the majority of whichhave been malignant. Herchronic dry eye condition isbeing managed daily, and she’s

    back to a healthy weight.“She looks fantastic,”Keklak said. “Any time shecomes in with her foster mom,she’s all snuggled in with herblankie. Her foster mom says,‘She can walk on a leash, butshe prefers to be carried.’”

    It’s safe to say life has turnedaround for Shiver and, accord-ing to foster mom Alicia Red-fern, the little dog is paying itforward.

    Redfern, a Voorhees resi-

    dent, works in the rehabilita-tion department of a local long-term care facility, where Shiverhas become a favorite amongstaff and residents.

    “Shiver comes to work withme every day. She’s been able toget through to residents in

    ways that we can’t,” Redfernsaid. “She is really affection-

    ate but not in a demandingkind of way. She’s just

    very, very gentle. I’ve hadresidents do things

    with Shiver that Icouldn’t get them to

    do in therapy.”Redfern said the

    connection Shiv-er has with herresidentsbrings tears toher eyes. Resi-dents be-come morefocusedand moti-

    Richmond: Non-profit rescues have grown, but donations have not

    make them feel comfortable,”Richmond said.

    The executive director of theCamden County Animal Shelter,Vicki Rowland, believes the econ-omy has an impact on family in-volvement.

    “More people would get in-volved if they had more time,”Rowland said.

    Families are often deterredfrom experimenting with the ideaof fostering or adopting animalsbecause they believe it would betoo much of a financial burden.

    However, with organizationssuch as the CCAS, it is completelyfree. The rescue provides every-thing it takes to care for a fosterpet. According to Rowland, themajor challenge it faces is gettingthe word out to families that fos-tering is free, fun and rewarding.

    The organization recently gotinvolved in targeting feral cats – an animal Richmond agreed is

    being brought into shelters morefrequently.

    Owner reclaims of animalsthat come into CCAS are not espe-cially high, specifically for cats.Historically, Rowland said re-

    claims of cats are less than 2 per-cent of intake compared to 12 per-cent of dogs.

    Getting phone calls from resi-

    dents concerned about feral catsliving in their town is not uncom-mon for local shelters and res-cues.

    “We’re still trying to brain-storm action steps,” Rowlandsaid. “How do we answer thequestions and provide the solu-tions for those people who call?”

    The CCAS looks to continue toeducate and provide appropriateresources for families moving for-ward to help them deal with theseproblems and get involved withshelters.

    Building regional relationshipsOver the last 15 to 20 years,

    non-profit rescues have continuedto grow. However, donations havenot.

    According to Richmond, thishas set up a dynamic the sheltercommunity needs to be aware of.

    “We need to work more collabo-ratively, maybe even combinesome shelters in order to reduce

    cost so animals can get more,”Richmond said.

    One Love Animal RescueChairwoman Sherri Smithagreed with Richmond in thesense that she would rather see

    existing shelters get funded moreappropriately instead of creatingmore.

    “I would like to see those exist-ing organizations be able to ex-pand discounted or free veteri-nary services to the community,be able to create educational and

    outreach programs for the com-munity, and be able to create andsupport more programs to getshelter pets trained to assist indi-viduals who need companionshipor special help,” Smith said.

    Rowland has noticed a trend-ing decline in intake over the lastfive years.

    “Five years ago, I was takingover 6,000 animals a year, andnow I’m taking nearly 4,000 ani-mals a year,” Rowland explained.“I don’t believe the number of 

    shelters and rescues in New Jer-sey will increase in the future.”

    In 2011, the Camden CountyAnimal Alliance began bringingorganizations together when it

     joined the CCAS, Animal Welfare

    Association, Animal AdoptionCenter, Voorhees Animal Or-phanage and Independent Ani-mal Control to help improve theservices it provides to animalsand communities. The alliancenow meets once a month with afocus on continuing to look for

    partnerships with strugglingcommunities.

    “Pet ownership is alifetime commitment,” VickiRowland said. “Pets are our chil-dren.”

    Rowland, the executive direc-tor of the Camden County Ani-

    mal Shelter, can’t stress enoughthe importance of understand-ing the responsibility thatcomes along with pet

    ownership.“Clearly (the CCAS) is offer-

    ing a service to those who, at theend of the day, there’s absolutelyno hope for that person keepingtheir pet. That’s what we’re herefor,” Rowland said. “But thenthere’s always the other side of that coin. They may adopt a cutepuppy, but then it grows up and

    it’s too much. They don’t think itthrough.”Thinking through an adop-

    tion is just one way local shel-

    ters and homeless pet advocatessay the problem of homelesspets can be helped. Find outmore suggestions below.

    Ways to reduce the numberof homeless animals

    • Consider all responsibilitiesof pet ownership before adopt-

    ing your pet. Remember, as Row-land said, that pet ownership is alifetime commitment for that an-imal.

    • Have a problem pet? Don’tgive up. Talk to your vet and in-vest in a trainer if pet behavioris becoming an issue.

    • Microchip your pet and keepthe information up-to-date. Haveyour pet wear an ID tag. “I thinkthat is good for people to know,”Barbara Agnew, adoptive parentto four dogs, said. “Get your dog

    microchipped and make sure ithas a tag on it.”• If you see a homeless pet, re-

    port it. Don’t assume someone

    else already did.• Spay and neuter your pet.

    “Neutering or spaying pets is areal way to prevent more home-less pets being out in the world,”Eric Arpert, Burlington Countypublic information officer,said.

    • If you absolutely cannotkeep your pet, never abandon it.

    Surrender your pet to a rep-utable shelter or rescue that isequipped to find the animal thebest placement.

    Cape May County to help an areathat doesn’t have great exposure.

    Spay/neuter targetingThe promoting of targeted

    spaying and neutering has be-come a top priority of sheltersstatewide.

    “Specifically-targeted

    spay/neuter is one of our goals intrying to prevent pet overpopula-tion,” Rowland said.

    The AWA focuses on continu-ing to commit efforts toward un-derserved communities or what itrefers to as “deserts of services.”

    “We try to be proactive andmindful of their situations so weare not deg rading anybody, butbeing there to support their com-munity and building trust andproviding resources to them,”Richmond said.

    The AWA is making a particu-lar effort to have cats spayed orneutered due to the rising num-ber of feral cats in the area. TheCCAS recently hosted its first catclinic targeted toward Camdenresidents. The clinic, subsidizedby a grant, offers freespay/neuter surgeries and vacci-nations. About 10 cats werespayed or neutered at this firstclinic.

    “It went well,” Rowland said.“We’re really trying to supply out-reach to Camden as far as offer-ing the services to an area thatdoesn’t have them already of-fered.”

    The clinics will continue untilthe grant obligation is fulfilled,

    meaning 130 cats will be spayedor neutered. Another clinic isplanned this month.

    “We will keep spreading theword – spay /neuter your pets! Itwon’t change until this is widelyaccepted by everyone as the onlyway to responsibly care for yourpet,” Smith said.

    ObjectivesThe No. 1 goal of all these or-

    ganizations is to eventually reach

    a 100 percent live release rate.But with each new animalbrought, a new challenge is pre-sented.

    “I don’t have a choice of whatcomes in. I have to take all ownersurrenders and extreme cases,”Rowland said.

    To increase adoption rates at arecord pace, One Love works ex-tremely hard to portray rescueand adoption in a positive light.

    “We have good cameras andmake sure our photos of adopt-

    able dogs are more like a dreamy,happy portrait than a sad, darkphoto of an animal behind kennelbars,” Smith said.

    The rescue wants people to as-sociate adopting a rescue pet withthe amazing and positive experi-ence they truly believe it to be.

    “It is our goal to show how glo-rious and rewarding it is to fosterand/or adopt an animal in need,”Smith said.

    To do this and in turn raiseadoption rates, the group has seta number of objectives.

    It continues to grow its com-munication plan with surround-ing shelters and its online follow-

    ing by enhancing its website andsocial media experience. It posts

    things such as happy family adop-tion photos and photos that showthe progress of rescue pets toshine the positive light on whatcan come of the services with thehelp of families in the area.

    It is also constantly looking toexpand communication when itcomes to the local available petsin shelter to understand as muchas possible about each pet’s be-havior and medical services.

    Expanding and upgradingLimited space has also become

    a problem local shelters are look-ing to tackle.

    “We have to havemore space,” Rich-mond said. “We op-erate in 40 percent of the space that organ-izations similar to usaround the countryhave.”

    At the BurlingtonCounty Animal Shel-

    ter, a new cat roomwas added in 2014and opened in 2015.

    “The cat room wasmade as an alternative to cagesthat the cats would normally stayin. This allows them to get the so-cialization they need as well asfor families to see and interactwith cats they could potentiallyadopt,” Eric Arpert, BurlingtonCounty public information offi-cer, said.

    The BCAS also has a new dogplay area and dog play groups,which help with socialization.Being cooped in a shelter canhave a potentially negative im-

    pact on dogs, causing anxiety andstress, according to Arpert. Areas

    for dogs to play outside and withother dogs help with that.

    “The outside play area makesthese dogs more adoptable,”Arpert said.

    Many local shelters have ex-pansion projects in place and un-derway.

    The AWA is looking into athree-year facility upgrade thatincludes remodeling its adoptioncenter to make things more wel-coming for visitors. The associa-

    tion plans to expand its technicaland training expertise programsas well by looking into animals’needs and trying to cater to them

    through these programs.The Voorhees Animal Orphan-

    age’s $1.6 million “Take MeHome” capital campaign waslaunched in January. At a Jan. 28press conference, VAO officialssaid the organization hopes toraise the funds necessary to con-solidate several outdated and sep-arate outbuildings on its groundsinto one new, modernized struc-ture.

    BCAS is also looking to expandits current facility. Some of themain features of the projectwould include an expansion tothe front, including a new wel-come area, entrance and parkinglot; the addition of new acquain-tance rooms and cat rooms; moreoffices; and dog runs and playareas outside.

    The expansion was approved

    for $1.9 million and is incorporat-ed in the county budget, accord-ing to Arpert.

    “We believe that the new ex-pansion will help more pets beadopted,” Arpert said. “This will

    save lives, with hopefully havingmore adoptions and less pet over-

    load and costs, having less to payfor pets.”

    What’s the answer?“There’s no one set answer,”

    Rowland said. “Spay/neutering isclearly the top thing – education,awareness, the whole nineyards.”

    Smith agreed with this notion.One Love plans to place a specialfocus on getting the spay/neutermessage to the public, providing

    more discounted or free steriliza-tion services to everyone, andpromoting awareness and educa-tion specifically in low-income

    areas.Encouraging

    adoptions is key,too, according toRowland, alongwith making surethe public knowsthere are all sortsof animalsavailable at shel-

    ters.“It’s that aware-

    ness that we haveso many great

    dogs, great cats, all differentshapes, sizes, breeds, and I thinkthere’s that misconception. Wehave everything. We get every-thing in,” she said.

    Shelters across South Jerseyare trying to set the standard forcare extremely high, in hopesother rescues will follow theirlead.

    “We are striving to create bestpractices that might somedayguide other rescuers and helpadopters find reputable rescue or-ganizations,” Smith said.

    They strive to supply theircommunities with skills peopleneed to make an impact and ele-vate the well-being of homelessanimals.

    “It’s incredibly touching for uswhen we see it work out,” Rich-mond said. “We believe if we help

    the humans, they will help the an-imals.”

    said.Ritter said the academy pro-

    vides a non-threatening atmos-phere where young people can ex-press themselves while also al-lowing the department to formlong-lasting lines of communica-tion with that younger age group.

    “Realistically, the uniform it-self can be intimidating, so wetry to break down that wall withone-on-one contact,” Ritter said.“We get to know their names, whothey are, we high five them, we’llrace them and challenge them tosee who can do more pushupsduring morning exercises.”

    Ritter said those relationshipscan pay dividends as the years goby, since those who go throughthe academy often look to join thedepartment themselves as theygrow older, and participants growmore comfortable with officers asthey enter high school.

    “We want to show them a real-istic version of police that arehere to help and that there isn’t apolice officer that they can’t walkup to,” Ritter said.

    The qualifications to be accept-ed into the program are as fol-lows:

    • Must be a resident of Eve-sham Township

    • Must be 11 to 14 years old as of July 1

    • Must be recommended by asponsor such as a principal, guid-

    ance department, law enforce-ment agency, community repre-sentative, coach or religiousleader

    • Must be in good academicstanding

    • Must be able to participate inphysical fitness activities such aspush-ups, sit-ups, light Calisthen-ics

    • Must be able to participate ina structured program

    • Must have no criminal back-

    ground or disciplinary problemsthat may preclude him or herfrom successful participation inthe academy

    Applications to the academywill be available Monday throughFriday at the Evesham Township

    Police Department, 984 Tucker-ton Road, between the hours of 8:30 a.m. and 9 p.m. Applicationscan also be downloaded at theEvesham Police website atwww.eveshampd.org.
