    finds new homeBy MIKE MONOSTRA

    The Sun

    On March 9, a sculpture wasunveiled on the front lawn of theCherry Hill Public Library. Manywho see this work of art as theydrive past it on Kings Highwaymay think this is a new additionto the library.

    However, this piece of art,named simply the GreenamyerSculpture, has actually been atthe library for nearly 50 years.

    In memory of a young readerFor many years, Cherry Hill

    resident Jenny Porter was anavid volunteer with the CherryHill Public Library. She served fora time as president of the Cherry

    Hill Public Library Board in the1960s.

    Not only did Porter love beingat the library, but her daughter,Valerie, did as well.

    “Valerie was an avid readerand had loved the library,” cur-rent library director LavereneMann said in telling the story.

    In 1966, at the age of 13, Valerie

    Special to The Sun

    The original Greenamyer Sculp-ture was completed in 1968.Black, industrial-like metal piecesbranched upward on a 14-foot hightotem pole. The sculpture could becircled as one walked down thestaircase inside the old Cherry HillPublic Library building.

    Cherry Hill community mem-bers will have a chance to diveunder the sea at Cherry Hill HighSchool West’s spring musical,“The Little Mermaid.” The showwill premiere at Cherry Hill Weston Friday, April 1 and runthrough Sunday, April 10.

    This is the second consecutive

    year Cherry Hill West Theater isperforming a Disney show for itsspring musical. Last year, theshow was “Mary Poppins.” Cher-ry Hill West was one of the firsthigh schools to perform the musi-cal as the rights had just been re-leased. It will be the same case for“The Little Mermaid.”

    “We wanted to do somethingwhen it was released, and we

    were lucky enough to get therights,” musical director CarolynMessias said.

    The idea of performing themusical version of the popularDisney animated film was excit-ing for many of the students,most of whom are very familiarwith the movie.

    “I literally watched this movieabout 75 times in a row,” saidsophomore Karla Rios, playing

    the character of Scuttle. “It’s justa classic childhood tale.”

    “I prepared nonstop,” said sen-ior Haley Rossel, playing the leadrole of Ariel. “I practiced all thetime because I loved Ariel. I triedreally hard to be that part.”

    One actor, sophomore MichaelLazarow, said he hadn’t seen themovie until just before auditions.Lazarow is playing the role of 

    Prince Eric.“A lot of people were saying,

    ‘You should do Prince Eric,’”Lazarow said. “I thought thatwould be fun. I did the musicallast year and I really enjoyed it.”

    died suddenly of a neurologicalcondition. To honor her memory,Porter asked if the family couldhave a sculpture commissionedand placed in the library. GeorgeGreenamyer, a sculptor whotoday has dozens of works on dis-play in different areas of the Unit-ed States, was commissioned todo the piece. It was the first publicartwork for which Greenamyerwas commissioned.

    The original sculpture was ona large, 14-foot totem pole andconsisted of numerous abstractpieces. Fred Adelson, a CherryHill resident and art history pro-

    fessor at Rowan University, ad-mired the piece.

    “This was site specific becauseit was designed for the staircase,”he said. “As you walked down thestaircase, you walked around thepiece.”

    “It’s really an unusual piece,”Mann said. “It was very dark. Itoriginally went up a totem pole.”

    The sculpture remained in thelibrary for more than 35 years.However, its future became uncer-tain in 2004.

    Library finds a new home;sculpture left homeless

    Sally Callaghan was volunteer-ing to help the Cherry Hill PublicLibrary move its materials fromthe old building to the new, cur-

    rent building next door in 2004.During the process, she remem-bers looking at the GreenamyerSculpture and wondering whatthe library was planning to dowith it during the move. As itturns out, there was no plan forthe sculpture in the new building.

    “They made all the plans forthe interior (of the new library),”Callaghan said. “Evidently, thesculpture was overlooked.”

    “I became involved because Iwas originally the one that wentto town hall and found there wasno plan for a sculpture of anykind,” she added.

    Callaghan realized the sculp-ture had to be saved prior to theold library building’s demolition.She got in contact with the Porterfamily, who paid to have the sculp-ture professionally dismantled.

    “The sculpture had to besaved,” Callaghan said. “It wasthe first piece of public art inCherry Hill Township.”

    Upon moving to the new li-brary building, the deconstructedsculpture was stored in the base-ment. A group of local residents

    that included Callaghan, Adelson,Sybil Kleinfeld and Nick Burpulis

    6 THE CHERRY HILL SUN — MARCH 30–APRIL 5, 2016

    Senior Sean Dugan is performing in thespring musical for the first time this year.He was surprised when he landed the roleof King Triton in the show.

    “I was expecting to be bubble No. 3,”Dugan joked. “When my name popped upas Triton, that was so exciting.”

    A number of special effects will help setthe tone for the film. To help simulate

    swimming, many of the charters will bewearing heelies, shoes with roller wheelsbuilt into them.

    Another new special effect this year willbe the use of a projection screen. Messiassaid the screens will be used in lieu of 

    backdrops and hopes they will enhance thescenes.The school will also use the Flying by

    Foy theatrical flying system in a number of scenes. The same system was used success-fully in “Mary Poppins” last year and isbeing brought back for this year’s show.

    “It’s those magical moments wherewe’re going to have Triton fly out, whenUrsula uses the trident,” Messias said.

    A number of Cherry Hill West staff members and other community volunteershelp make the flying system work. Many of them worked on the system last year and

    are back again this year.“It wasn’t that difficult,” Richard Bogan

    said about working on the flying systemlast year. “We had somebody cue us everytime.”

    Aliza Katzen, an eighth grader from

    Beck Middle School playing the role of Flounder, is one of the actors who will beflying in the show. She admitted she wasmost excited about jumping into the har-ness and taking off for the first time.

    “I’m ecstatic to fly,” Katzen said. “I’m soexcited.”

    Also returning this year will be a char-acter breakfast prior to one of the shows.This year’s breakfast will be on Sunday,April 3 at 11:30 a.m. before the 2 p.m. mati-nee.

    The character breakfast is somethingmany of the actors are looking forward to.

    “I liked interacting with the kids in pre-vious shows,” said junior Angelina DiFe-lice, playing the villain, Ursula. “It’s reallyinteresting. I’m just afraid they’re going to

    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 towns 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.

    expecting kids to ask why I’msuch a meanie to Ariel,” Dugansaid. “I’ve been trying to think of good responses.”

    “I can’t imagine how they’ll bewhen they see a princess,” Rossellsaid. “It’ll be really cool.”

    As an added feature to thisyear’s breakfast, Adventure

    Aquarium will be in attendancewith a touch tank where guestscan pet fish.

    Messias expects there to be alot of children in the audience forall six performances, saying theshow is the perfect opportunityfor kids to get their first taste of theater.

    “This is a great way to intro-duce children and middle school-

    ers to theater at a reasonableprice,” she said.

    The actors realize most of theaudience will be familiar with theshow, and they want to upholdDisney’s high standards on stage.

    “I want to give the audience ul-timately their expectations forthe show,” Rios said. “It’s some-thing out of their childhood.”

    “You want them to come awaywith the Disney experience,”Dugan added. “Even though thisis a high school, we can pull itoff.”

    Performances of “The LittleMermaid” will take place on

    April 1, 2, 8 and 9 at 7 p.m. and onApril 3 and 10 at 2 p.m. Tickets are$15 for adults and $10 for studentsand senior citizens.

     decided to unite to try to get thesculpture erected at the libraryagain.

    “We became great friends overthe years,” Callaghan said.

    Multiple times, the groupasked library officials if thesculpture could be reconstructed.However, the cost of the recon-struction was a huge hurdle.

    “Time went by and JennyPorter and I kept in touch,”

    Callaghan said. “Her dream wasthat the sculpture would be takenout of the basement, re-assem-bled somehow and put in aplace where the public could seeit.”

    The group of four worked ongetting other pieces of public artconstructed in Cherry Hill. Adel-son helped give the “SundayMorning” sculpture by J. SewardJohnson its permanent home out-side the library. Callaghan did thesame with another library sculp-

    ture, “Totem,” by David Ascalon.The group was also instrumentalin bringing the Free Wheel sculp-ture to Croft Farm.

    Despite the group’s work, itwasn’t until recently when itsdream to bring the GreenamyerSculpture out of hibernation be-came a reality.

    A new vision for old sculptureMovement on reconstructing

    the sculpture began to happen

    when the four-person committeeproposed to have the sculptureplaced outside the new building.A few years ago, Burpulis createda site plan for the proposal.

    “We took it from the CherryHill Library Board and told themwhere we wanted it to be placed,”Callaghan said.

    “(The library) kind of wantedto get this out of the basement,”she added. “They have otherthings to put into storage.”

    While library officials were re-

    ceptive to the plan, money re-mained an issue. The estimatedcost of the reconstruction was$20,000.

    “It was going to be a significantamount of money for an artist to

    take it and transform it into anoutdoor piece,” Mann said.

    To help fund the piece,Callaghan spoke to Jenny Porterabout ways they could pay for thereconstruction.

    “Her adopted son Michael hada trust,” Callaghan said. “Jennyasked him if he could release$20,000 to re-build the sculpture.”

    The money was released, al-lowing for the reconstruction to

    go forward.Ascalon was asked to recon-

    struct the sculpture after gettingpermission from Greenamyer. Here-imagined it, with the black ab-stract pieces being placed onthree different shaped totempoles.

    Some of the formerly sharpedges of the pieces were also re-moved.

    “It wasn’t as prominent as itnow appears,” Adelson said of 

    the new design. “The wood islighter. I think it’s dramatic whenyou see it.”

    “It’s about shape, it’s aboutmovement, it’s about use of mate-rials,” he added.

    Adelson feels the reconstructedsculpture has the potential to be acivic landmark because of itsuniqueness and highly visible lo-cation.

    “I love the fact that you canhappen upon it now as you driveup and down Kings Highway,” he

    said.While the committee that

    fought for many years to have thesculpture reconstructed washappy to see it back in publicview, not everyone made it to the

    unveiling. Burpulis passed awayin 2012, and Jenny Porter died

     just a couple months ago at theage of 92.

    “I’m sure she can see it now,”Callaghan said. “She really was acharming woman.”

    Adelson is hoping people willview the sculpture and not onlyremember Valerie, but also Jennyand her dedication to the library.

    “It’s an amazing accomplish-ment to see it finally re-installed,”he said.

    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

     Animal intake numbers hold steady for local groups

    By ZANE CLARKThe Sun

    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?”

    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.

    Photos by Brigit Bauma/The Sun

    Kingsway Church in Cherry Hill held its annual Easter Egg Hunt on Saturday, March 26 on the athleticfields at Cherry Hill High School West. Billed as the largest Easter egg hunt in South Jersey, kids 12 andunder took turns to dash onto the field and gather as many of the 50,000 available eggs as they could.

    Clockwise from above: Madeline Serrano of Cherry Hill found a private spot with multiple eggs. Morgan Hur-ley of Cherry Hill prepares to put the first blue egg she found into her bag. Kyle Staats of Cherry Hill placesa purple egg into his bag. (Inset) Liliana Harting and her mom, Kathy, of Haddonfield take a break from theiregg hunt to pose for a quick picture. August Mohr from Haddon Township snags another egg. Thousands ofmulti-colored Easter eggs filled the athletic fields at Cherry Hill High School West. Penny and Scarlet Far-

    row from Collingswood came to Saturday’s egg hunt dressed in the holiday spirit with their bunny ears.
