DOORS OPEN@GLOUCESTER CO. CLINIC
PFA has been selected to run a new clinic built by Gloucester Co., next to the County Animal Shelter in Clayton, NJ. While Gloucester Co. has ½ the population of Union Co. the shelter takes in 4 times as many dogs & cats & has 4 times the euthanasia rate. Hopes are high that S/N’s at this clinic will change that for the better.
KEARNY MAYOR REPORTS TNR RESULTS
