Runners, walkers, supporters,friends and fans of the AliciaRose Victorious Foundation areonce again being asked to lendtheir support by registering forthe ARVF’s upcoming Victorious5k Run/Walk.

Now in its eighth year, the an-nual fundraising event will takeplace on Sunday, May 15 at VirtuaVoorhees.

From the event, the ARVF willraise funds to install lounge areasin hospitals across the nation toservice hospitalized teenagers

and send activity kits to thoseteens to help them pass the timeas they battle life-threatening ill-nesses.

That mission dates back 13years to when 17-year-oldVoorhees resident Alicia Rose Di-Natale, daughter of Gisele DiNa-tale and former Voorhees DeputyMayor Mario DiNatale, passedaway after battling cancer.

As Alicia battled her illness atthe Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, she expressed disap-pointment over the lack of areasmore suited for teenagers to spendtheir time, as opposed to areas de-signed for younger children.

After Alicia passed away, herparents began the ARVF as a wayto raise the money needed to in-stall a lounge at CHOP specifical-ly designed for teenagers, andonce that goal was accomplished,the foundation went on to installsimilar lounges across the nation.

In addition to the lounges andactivity kits, the ARVF also fundsspecial events for hospitalized

teens such as teen proms, bingonights, parties and other activi-ties to give hospitalized teens achance to socialize with otherteens who are dealing with simi-lar struggles.

Gisele DiNatale said the workof ARVF truly helps the under-served population of inpatient

Last week may have ushered in

the start of spring, but Shore

towns throughout our state are

experiencing high anxiety, as the start

of the “summer beach season” begins

in fewer than eight weeks.

The 102 days between Memorial Day

and Labor Day weekends are crucialfor the Jersey Shore, which, no matter

what town you live in, has a vital im-

pact on the Garden State’s economy.

We seem to often preach how impor-

tant it is to stay local for the summer-

time. And that’s because it’s true.

The devastation that was caused by

Hurricane Sandy seems like a distant

memory. For the most part, Shore

towns in our state have recovered, but

they still desperately need visitors;

they still need our support.

Beach Season 2013, the one immedi-

ately following Sandy, was not a good

one.As if rebuilding from Sandy wasn’t

bad enough, an incredibly wet June

kept visitors away from the Shore dur-

ing prime weekends. Sales for stores

that year in the hardest-hit areas were

off anywhere from 20-40 percent, ac-

cording to state economic reports.

The results improved slightly in

2014, and then again last year. Accord-

ing to a Tourism Economics report

produced by the state Division of

Travel and Tourism, visitors to the

Shore increased by more than 8 per-

cent last year. That calculation is

based on “bed tax receipts” for the

state’s Shore counties. In fact, that

number exceeded those of the previ-

ous peak in 2012, before Hurricane

Sandy.

Finally, the Shore is back! But the

message is still the same: Visit the

Shore this summer, visit often, andspend money there.

New Jersey residents often take our

coastline for granted, but we should

realize how lucky we are to have such

a gem this close to home. So let’s pay it

back this summer. As hard as it may

seem to fathom, there are only two

months until the official start of the

summer beach season, but there is

still plenty of time to plan your sum-

mer vacation at the Jersey Shore.

The beach towns need your support.

Let’s all dedicate at least part of our

summer to giving back.

in our opinion

Stay local this summerNew Jersey’s Shore to wns could use your help

Your thoughts

What does the Jersey Shore meanto you? We’d love to hear your storiesof traveling to the beach, and your plansto do so this summer.

In recent years, many animaladvocates and lawmakers havechampioned an “adopt, don’tshop” mentality to encourage po-tential pet owners to adopt petsfrom shelters and rescues, ratherthan purchase pets from stores,

many of which have been ac-cused of supplying animals frombreeding facilities with poor oreven inhumane living conditions.

As timegoes on inSouth Jersey,the “adopt,don’t shop”mentalityseems to bemoving be-yond just themouths of ac-

tivists andlawmakersand more to-ward the consciousness of thegeneral public.

According to the recent Ani-mal Intake and Disposition Sur-veys from the state Department of Health, the number of animalsadopted from shelters in New Jer-sey has held steady, even slightlyincreasing, for nearly the past 10years.

According to the 2005 survey – which licensed animal shelters inthe state are encouraged, butaren’t required, to participate in – 37 percent of all dogs and catsimpounded were adopted.

By 2010, the statewide adoptionrate had risen to 41 percent of dogs and cats impounded,and in the most recently re-leased numbers for 2014,the number was high-er still at 46 percent.

During those

same years, thesurvey shows shel-ters throughout thestate were also able to eu-thanize fewer animals. In2005, 39 percent of all dogs

and cats impounded in sheltersthroughout the state were eutha-nized. That figure dropped to 34percent in 2010, and in 2014, thenumber of impound dogs andcats euthanized was down to 26percent.

Local live releaseand adoption rates rise

The support for the “adopt,don’t shop” initiative can also beobserved on a base level at local

animal shel-ters throughthe increas-ing live re-lease rates,which havecontinued toclimb overthe past sev-eral years.

Live re-lease ratesare calculated

for shelters by totaling the num-ber of live outcomes for ani-mals at a facility wherethe animal wasadopted, trans-ferred toanoth-er

facility or returned to an owneror guardian, compared to if ananimal was euthanized.

In live releases, animals eitherend up in the home of a new fami-ly, or they’re moved to anothershelter where space is availablebecause so many animals at thatfacility had already been adopted.

One local facility where the

trend is holding true is the Cam-den County Animal Shelter. Ac-cording to Camden County Ani-mal Shelter Executive DirectorVicki Rowland, from 2009 to 2015,the CCAS live release rate for catswent from 46 percent to 70 per-cent. For dogs, the rate increasedfrom 73 percent to 85 percent.

“It’s going up. We’re savingmore,” Rowlandsaid. “And that’sour overall mis-sion here – in-

creasinglives

saved.”Rowland also noted there’s a

public misconception surround-ing open facilities that have totake all animals, such as theCCAS, where it’s believed it mustoften euthanize pets and so itslive release rates may not be veryhigh.

Rowland said that is not the

case with the CCAS.“We’re saving 80 percent of theanimals that we intake,” she said,“and we’re gradually trying to in-crease that trend every year.”

The trend of increasing live re-lease rates is also exemplifiedacross the county line at theBurling-

tonCoun-ty Ani-malShel-

ter.

Burlington County Public Infor-mation Officer Eric Arpert saidover the last five years, the BCAShas also seen its live release ratesgrow fairly steadily.

According to Arpert, in 2015alone, BCAS had a record-break-ing 2,602 live exits from the shel-ter through adoptions, rescuetransfers and animals returned to

owners.“That is a record-breakingyear. And before 2015, 2014 was arecord-breaking year,” Arpertsaid. “So we have steadily in-creased adoptions over the lastseveral years.”

The numbers are also similarat the Animal Welfare Associa-tion in Voorhees, where Execu-tive Director Maya Richmondsaid about 2,700 animals foundhomes last year.

“AWA is not a sanctu-

‘It’s going up. We’re

saving more. And that’s

our overall mission here –

increasing lives saved.’

Another notable aspect tothe work of animal sheltersand groups is the interconnect-

ed web of partnerships thatexist between the organiza-tions.

As live release rates rise andfewer animalsface euthana-sia, part of that trendmight be at-tributed to thetransfer of an-imals fromone facility toanother.

Accordingto CamdenCounty Ani-mal ShelterExecutive Di-rector Vicki Rowland, the liverelease rate of the CCAS has“drastically” increased in re-cent years, part of which in-cludes animals being trans-ferred to other rescues, such asthe Animal Welfare Associa-tion in Voorhees and the Ani-mal Adoption Center in Lin-denwold.

“We work together,” Row-land said. “If I’m in my busyseason and I don’t have anyroom, the Animal Welfare As-sociation will reach out. Weheavily rely on transfers.”

Maya Richmond, executivedirector of the AWA, said abouthalf of the animals at the AWAfacility come from such trans-port relationships, with AWAhaving relationships with shel-

ters in and out of New Jersey.As just one example, Rich-

mond said the AWA now workswith the Cape May County Ani-mal shelter as that gets very lit-

tle foot traffic and can be over-crowded.

As such, Richmond said theAWA now goes to that shelter atleast twice or three times amonth and brings animals to

AWA where more people cometo look for a new pet.As the AWA is also equipped

to handle the medical needs of animals as op-posed to othershelters andgroups, often-times Rich-mond said theAWA mighthelp a facilitysuch as theCCAS, which

might havetoo many sickcats andmight other-wise be forced

to euthanize.“Those are cats that would-

n’t be able to be adopted outright away that need that extracare, so we transport them intoour sick ward,” Richmond said.“We’re fairly cooperative as agroup.”

Members of the CamdenCounty Animal Alliance, of which the AWA is a part, alsoshare an animal managementdatabase, which uses a backendportal to link the different facil-ities’ lost and found sections to-gether. Richmond said the sys-tem is useful for those whobring lost pets to the doors of the AWA.

“If somebody’s got a petright then and there, we canfind a lost report possibly filed

online that could have beenfiled at any of the other shel-ters, and we can help that per-son make those contacts rightthen and there,” she said.

One Love Animal Rescue relies on its foster families to provide temporary homes for its adoptable pets

By SEAN LAJOIEThe Sun

The Albertson family was yourtypical pet-free household beforea dog by the name of Geri camealong.

She was found by a shelter,abandoned, totally emaciated andtied to a tree on the side of a road.The Albertsons decided to step inand make her a part of their fami-ly.

Though mother Kim Albertsongot emotional when bringing upGeri, it was clear she cherishedher 12 years with her and she hada lasting impact on her family’sdesire to help dogs.

The Albertsons have now beena part of the One Love AnimalRescue for two years and are tem-porarily fostering seven dogsuntil the right family is found forthem.

One Love is an organization

that rescues homeless animals,nurtures them through fostercare and places them in perma-nent loving homes to the best of their ability.

One Love promotes responsible

pet ownership and encouragesothers in the community to bekind to all animals, to reduce petoverpopulation and to improvethe outcomes of homeless ani-mals.

“Geri started the madness forus,” Kim said.

The Albertsons have a running joke if they were ever to win thelottery they will be making“Geri’s Rescue Ranch” down inVirginia.

The family’s overwhelmingpassion for these animals shinesthrough when they discuss howeach addition was a “miracle” initself.

Mabel came home with themon Christmas Eve 2014 after hismom delivered seven puppies.

Obi’s mom was sent to be fixedwhile she was pregnant. Theywere going to end the life of thepuppies while in utero, but shedelivered overnight in the vet’s of-

fice, so the Albertsons’ daughter,Erin, naturally had to take onehome with her.

They also took in three dogsduring fall 2015 who were going tobe shot if One Love didn’t step in

and save them.All of the Albertsons’ foster

dogs came to them in uniquelydifferent ways, but it is clear theyare all now a part of the family.

As for Erin, she is training tobe a veterinarian in Virginia be-cause of her childhood bestfriend, Geri. Erin graduated fromRoanoke College in May 2015, isworking full time as a veterinarytech and is starting veterinaryschool at Ross University Schoolof Veterinary Medicine in May.

Unfortunately, with Erin awayat school, her father Jim workingfull time and being a trustee onthe board of directors for the In-dian Mills Athletic Association,and Kim also going to nursingschool full time – time can be at apremium when it comes to takingcare of their beloved dogs.

Luckily, they have a neighborwho is also a dog fanatic and en-

joys every chance she gets to

babysit the dogs.“I got into One Love Rescue be-

cause of Kim,” neighbor MorganBarnett said. “I was helping out

ary,” Richmond said. “We’re nothere for life. We are an intermedi-ate vehicle for those pets to getloving homes. A lot of times, wedon’t talk about them as our ani-mals but the pets under our care.”

Animal intake also holds steadyIn addition to the rising live re-

lease rates, the numbers that shel-ters have been taking in have alsoheld steady.

Regarding the past severalyears, Rowland said the change inthe number of animals cominginto the shelter has been negligi-ble. From 2009 to 2015, she said itactually showed a very slight de-crease of animals coming intoCCAS.

“Every year is different,” Row-land said.

For the BCAS, which has to

work as a no-kill, open-intakeshelter and serve all municipali-

ties of Burlington County, Arpert

said overall intakes have alsobeen “rather steady” for the pastthree years.

According to Richmond, intakerates have also remained steadyat the AWA, as it has more controlover what animals it brings intoits facilities. However, she saidthe AWA has had to work hardthese past several years to keepits facility full, which has led it todo more to pull from other munic-ipalities.

The AWA has been working tokeep its intake rates down andkeep more pets with their origi-nal owners rather than thoseowners having to surrender thosepets.

“We do the best we can to see if there’s a way to keep that pet withthat family, whether it’s low-costfood, low-cost medical care, and if we can’t keep that pet with thatfamily and it comes into AWA, wefind it a home, and that’s wellover 1,500 animals a year,” Rich-

mond said.And while intake numbers

may have only been steady locally,across the state in the pastdecade, the numbers actually saw

a decrease.According to past state Animal

Intake and Disposition Surveys,in 2005 there were 105,355 dogsand cats impounded by shelters

in the state, but by 2010 the figurehad decreased to 93,914, and by

2014 the figure was 80,346.

Additional factors for the risein live release rates

In addition to the growing“adopt, don’t shop” mentality inthe public consciousness, animalwelfare organizations also con-tribute a multitude of other fac-tors to increase live release rates.

For the CCAS, Rowland saidhaving cat adoption centers atPetSmart and Petco stores, which

are all managed by volunteers,has also had a direct positive im-pact on adoption rates. The cen-ters – which include the PetS-marts in Moorestown and CherryHill – give an animal that mayhave been overlooked in the shel-ter a new setting with new poten-tial adopters.

Rolwand said having a dedicat-ed volunteer board of directors iscritical to CCAS’ success, too.

“It’s so much pre-planning andstrategic planning that is making

ANIMALContinued from page 10

Animal intake numbers hold steady for local groups


Despite the growing interestthe public might have in an“adopt, not shop” philosophy,challenges remain for animalwelfare groups and organiza-tions.

Namely, the organizations facea continuous battle to the get theword out to the public aboutwhat purposes they exist to serveand how those missions differfrom those of other groups.

“There’s so much confusionover who does what and how itgets done,” said Animal Welfare

Association Executive DirectorMaya Richmond. “It sounds likeit should be much simpler than itis, but for some reason it’s not.”

Richmond said the group

stopped accepting municipalcontracts more than a decadeago, and so it works mainly withtransporting animals from othershelters and taking on animalsthat citizens have to surrender.

However, Richmond said theAWA has no official marketingbudget to use to get that infor-mation out to the public.

“We try our best to get theword out by being out at commu-nity events. We still put up paperfliers, we try to do some press re-leases and public engagementsand we try to connect throughpeople with websites,” Rich-mond said. “Facebook has been

good for us as far as the commu-nity getting to know a little moreabout us. It’s hard to market.People don’t always know.”

Those sentiments were

echoed by Eric Arpert, public in-formation officer for BurlingtonCounty.

Arpert said the BurlingtonCounty Animal Shelter, whichhas to take all animals surren-dered to it, also has to constantlywork to ensure the communityknows what services the shelterprovides. And since the BCAShas to take all animals, it’s espe-cially important to the shelter toguide the community there be-fore they look to purchase a petelsewhere.

“It’s to get the word out thatanybody looking for a pet inBurlington County should adopt

and not shop,” Arpert said. “Oureffort is to be the first stop foranyone in Burlington Countylooking to find the right pet.”

Like the AWA, the BCAS also

uses the tools of the Internet,such as petfinder.com and theFacebook pages of groups suchas the Friends of BurlingtonCounty Animal Shelter, to helpspread that message and detailupcoming events and programsat the shelter.

According to Camden CountyAnimal Shelter Executive Direc-tor Vicki Rowland, the CCAS isin a similar position.

“It’s getting the word outthere that we exist and we haveanimals ready,” she explained.“Every day is different for us asto what we get into the facility – breed, size, age, you name it – it’s

just up to the adopters to find theright fit.”

In addition to differentiatingthemselves so the public knowswhat group to visit for what

services, Richmond said thegroups also have to work to getmore fundraising monies, oftenat the expense of other groups.

According to the Giving USA2015 annual report on philan-thropy in America, of the$358.38 billion given to charitiesin 2014, only $10.5 billion, or 3percent, went to non-profit or-ganizations that deal with ani-mal welfare.

“You want the water to getbetter for everyone, but in doingthat you’re inadvertently com-peting for less money,” Rich-mond said. “You all want to goand improve the welfare, but by

doing that you’re also competingindirectly or directly, and there’sstill confusion. Do you let theconfusion stand or do you startbuilding your brand out?”

Marketing a continuous uphill battle for shelters

Fosters call experience rewarding and totally worth it

with her litter of puppies and I just fell in love with it.”

After being very close withErin in high school, Barnett alsowent away to school where shenoticed a void in her life. It wasn’tlong before she emailed thefounders of One Love and asked if she could foster when she arrived

back home in Shamong.“I told them I need some extradogs, I need to compensate forfour months with no dogs,” shesaid.

Bandit and Smokey were foundon the side of the road in WestVirginia 20 pounds underweightwith worms in their stomach, butthey have found a home with Bar-nett and her two other dogs wherethey continue to get better eachday.

Bringing this many dogs to-

gether under one roof comes withsome challenges, but the Barnettsand Albertsons have created tac-tics to adapt. The “crate and ro-tate” strategy seems to be the go-to approach to speed up theprocess of training the dogs andmaking sure they all get along.

“They all end up adapting pret-ty well to one another in the longrun, but that first couple weekscan be a little hairy,” Kim said.

In fact, there are instanceswhen it simply doesn’t work. The

Albertsons’ very first foster, Mia,

was only in their house for threedays before they decided it wasnot the right fit.

“She was the type of dog whowas not going to get along withother dogs. She needed to go to ahome where she was the onlydog,” Jim Albertson said.

Barnett has also experiencedinstances in which she’s taken indogs that were not fit to liveamong other dogs.

“If a foster is struggling, we

immediately take the pet and findanother foster who is better suit-ed to manage the pet,” One LoveAnimal Rescue ChairwomanSherri Smith said.

One Love attempts to cut downon these instances by investigat-ing every family that is adoptingthrough conducting a homecheck to make sure they are giv-ing the highest standard of careto their own pet(s) and makingsure their home is a safe and lov-ing environment.

The organization will give youthe best description of the dog'spersonality as it can and will notput a dog it doesn’t think willwork in your home.

“I did a home check with an-other family that was interestedin one of my dogs, and I just had aterrible feeling,” Barnett said.“It’s just a gut feeling and I talkedto the founders of One Love andthey encouraged me to go withmy gut.”

The organization puts a lot of

trust in its fosters to make thebest judgment when it comes tohaving a family adopt one of these animals they have gotten toknow over time.

It also supplies top-of-the-linemedical care before it is ready foradoption, food, and all other ex-penses related to caring for thepet and getting them ready fortheir new home.

The group prides itself onbeing a tight-knit team and grow-

ing relationships with each other.It even has a private Facebookgroup where members interactand ask questions to support eachother.

However, being a foster is aconsuming commitment that can-not be taken for granted or it willlikely not work out.

When asked what kind of ad-vice he would give folks who wereconsidering fostering but weretentative about going all in, Jim

Alberston advised not to get in-

volved.“It’s a commitment. You're re-

sponsible for another life,” hesaid.

For those who are undoubtedlylooking to get involved, Kim couldnot say enough about how re-warding and worth it the wholeprocess is.

Bringing an animal into yourhouse when it is in such criticalcondition, nurturing it, loving itand seeing how far it comes is

something the Albertsons andBarnetts both attested to notbeing able to put a price tag on.

“It’s the companionship,” Jimsaid. “It’s making sure unwanteddogs get a deserving home.”

“When you see progress like Ihave, it reinforces you are meantto be doing this,” Barnett said.

The organization cherishesfamilies such as the Barnetts andthe Albertsons, and it intends tocontinue to grow by adding moreloving families like them.

“Finding fosters like the Bar-netts and Albertsons is really adream for us,” Smith said. “Thesefamilies are fierce animal advo-cates, experienced dog handlersand committed to training. It’s soimportant for us to find familieswho will see it through and workwith foster dogs through theirchallenges.”

this happen,” Rowland said.For the BCAS, one obvious con-

tributing factor is the shelter be-

came a no-kill facility in 2013 into2014, meaning it does not eutha-nize adoptable pets for need of space. Arpert credits this withhelping to increase the shelter’slive exit rates.

“There are few shelters that dothat, and we’re proud to be one of them,” Arpert said.

Another thing that contributedto the BCAS’ steadily increasinglive exit rates is additional spacefor the animals. Burlington Coun-ty Freeholder Bruce Garganio re-cently spearheaded an effort to

build a new cat room at the shel-ter, and there have been new dogruns and dog pens added as well.

For the AWA, Richmond said adifferent approach to whom theshelter will let adopt an animal

has also helped with placing morepets in more homes.

Gone are the days where theAWA would send its members tothe homes of those looking toadopt to measure a family’s yard.

Gone are the days where theAWA would require five applica-tions be placed by different indi-

viduals and families for a singlepet before picking what it consid-ering the “best” one.

Gone are the days when theAWA would ask for the phonenumber of a potential adopter’s

personal veterinarian to inter-view as well.

“There’s a lot of stereotypeabout how terrible shelters are,”Richmond said. “They say‘they’re going to judge me, they’regoing to be mean,’ so we’ve al-ready got all these things stackedagainst us, and when they come

we want them to have as seamlessas possible and positive experi-ence.”

While Richmond said the AWAwill still obviously decline a po-tential adoption where it feels

necessary, these days potentialadopters get declined mostly onthe basis that the pet they’re look-ing to adopt wouldn’t be a good fitfor their family or home, and theAWA will instead try to interestthem in another animal bettersuited for their situation.

“If you don’t help them, are

they going to go buy a pet, arethey going to go through othermeans, and if they secure a petelsewhere, they might not be pre-pared to be that pet’s owner,”Richmond said.
