Feral Cats of Bergen County

I started TNR about 4 years ago when I found a feral cat colony outside of my business.

We started socializing cats and kittens in order to get them adopted and I love when we are able to find these guys amazing forever homes. Winters get very cold up here and I cannot leave a cat outside when I know I have room at my business to care for them! We have a great team of volunteers that help with feeding and socializing the cats, they will also help me with transport when I need it!

Paw It 4ward Foundation

Cherry Hill, NJ

What does PI4W do? Our goal is to assist local animal rescues with funds to offset the exorbitant medical bills they incur as they save lives. What else does PI4W do? In February of 2014, we added in a Rescue, focused on bully breeds with at high risk of euthanization at local shelters. All rescued dogs live in foster homes while waiting to find their forever homes. Foster homes not only provide socialization, training and care for our dogs but they also offer a seamless transition for our adopters. Through our breed ambassadors we hope to showcase the amazing bully breed. How does our grant process work? To be considered, a Rescue must file an application every year with the foundation. They must provide documentation on their quality standards of care for all animals in their care. Their adoptions must include: spay/neuter, vet checks, home checks, and references. A fund request application must be submitted for medical cases along with documentation by a veterinary practice providing care. Medical funding is ALWAYS made directly to the medical practice, never to the rescue. What makes PI4W so special? Our team! Each and every team member is passionate about making a difference in an animal's life! The respect, compassion, and love they share with animals is the same respect, compassion, and love we share with every member of our team! We have an open forum which means we are listening! We love to hear thoughts and ideas from everyone! Each of us brings different strengths to our team which allows us to successfully achieve our goals! We also believe in transparency, which means • we share the amount of funds we donate to an animal’s care • Information regarding funds collected through our fundraising efforts is available upon request

Rescue Haven Foundation

Caldwell, NJ

The FernDog Rescue Foundation’s founder and director, Fernando Camacho, has been working with animal rescue groups and shelters for his entire career as a dog behavior consultant and trainer. These dedicated groups typically rely solely on volunteers that work tirelessly trying to save as many animals as they possibly can. Unfortunately, these groups often lack the funding, time and resources to better accomplish their work. One of the things that hit Fernando the hardest was realizing that although the dogs staying at shelters were physically cared for, their mental health deteriorated daily. With each day a dog spends in an animal shelter, his chances for adoption decline due to the psychological effects of the typical shelter environment. It’s not the animal shelter’s fault – they do the best they can with what they have. The problem is that they have so little available to them to make any kind of change, and that’s why The FernDog Rescue Foundation was formed. The mission of The FernDog Rescue Foundation is to help dogs at risk by providing foster homes that will nurture their physical and emotional health, help locate the ideal forever homes for them while providing support and training to help assure that their stay in their new homes is permanent. In addition we focus on developing programs to promote pet adoption services and raise public awareness by providing community education of the issues surrounding animal rescue. We are a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.
