Jersey Animal Coalition is an all volunteer not-for-profit
that has rescued and placed over 10,000 stray and abandoned
pets since it was founded in 1989. We are a no-kill shelter.
Our mission is to preserve life. We make space by adopting,
not euthanizing. Now, as the dream of our own Shelter has
become a reality, we need your financial
support today! JAC is self supporting. All donations go
to the care of the animals. |

To all the friends of
Jersey Animal Coalition -
We
note with sadness the passing of Frank Lautenberg,
JAC Honorary Trustee and friend of JAC.
He will surely be remembered for the legislation he
introduced benefiting our human population, but we will
remember him as a powerful advocate for the pets of
our country.
Few know of his compassion for animals and his understanding
of the importance of the human-animal bond.
We are proud that after the tragic forced separation
of pets and their owners during Hurricane Katrina in
2009, he chose our shelter as the place for the introduction
of his landmark bill, “Pets Evacuation and Transportation
Standards (PETS) Act “ requiring state and local
emergency preparedness plans to take into account the
needs of individuals with household pets and service
animals, commonly known as “No Pet Left Behind”.
This press conference received national attention and
was covered by the major television, internet and radio
networks.
He was indeed one of a kind, and his passing leaves
a void which we hope another courageous legislator,
taking his or her cue from him, will fill with even
more animal friendly legislation.
