| Other | ADVOCACY ACTION IMPACT |
| Other | When you call NJ Aid for Animals (NJAFA), you are greeted with this message: "You've called us because you have an animal problem you need help with." |
| Other | No other animal welfare organization in S. Jersey is available for help for animals 24/7 including holidays. Since 2005 we have been boots on the ground as all volunteers with no brick and mortar building, no government funding and no municipal funding. We have been able to deliver all our programs with only donations from the public. NJAFA runs very lean and counts on the support of its volunteers, board of directors and advisory allowing us to save thousands of dollars each year on professional services which funding can go to the animals. |
| Other | Guidestar.org, the watchdog of charities gives NJAFA a Platinum Level of Transparency which is the highest level a charity can receive. |
| Other | NJAFA amazes its donors by stretching the dollars they donate as we wheel and deal because we know it is not our money. It is the money of our donors who trust us to leverage ourselves to obtain the best services for helping animals without sacrificing quality. EX If an animal needs very expensive blood work, we will take the animal to a less expensive vet for blood then take the records to a specialty vet and save money. |
| Other | Our board includes the attorney, Flora Edwards, who wrote the Amicus Brief that got the Michael Vick dogs to Best Friends, a veterinarian who owns an emergency animal hospital, and, Jim Crosby, an internationally known dog bite expert. Our Advisory Board lends their expertise to NJAFA includes another lawyer, a social media expert, a CPA with expertise in non-profits. |
| Other | To maintain transparency, compliance and check and balance of books we pay an independent consultant bookkeeper that is not connected to our board or advisory board. |
| Other | Volunteers continue to donate by tabling at events for NJAFA, fostering animals, transporting animals, planning and implementing fundraisers, clerical tasks, cleaning, a para-legal to do research and myriad "other" volunteers. |
| Other | VETERINARY SERVICES |
| Other | In 2019 we provided direct support for veterinary services, animal supplies, medicine and food for animals that would otherwise have gone without. |
| Other | DELIVERING DISEASE PREVENTION |
| Other | No other animal welfare organization delivers free disease prevention and health promotion though our Signature Yearly Pets in the City. In 2019 we hosted our 12th Annual Event in Camden, NJ and donated dozens of free life-saving vaccines to dogs and cats. We also donate leashes, collars, cat carriers, dog bowls, and raised funds to purchase Bravecto, a three month flea treatment for the large dogs that are forced to live outside, one of the reasons dogs are surrendered in the summer due to fleas. |
| Other | ANIMAL ABUSE |
| Other | NJAFA is the only all-volunteer animal welfare organization that is involved with animal cruelty. In 2018 the New Jersey Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals lost their authority to investigate and write summonses for violations of Title Four, which is animal cruelty. Since then, invidividual municipalities' police officers handle their own animal cruelty with ultimate oversight from the county prosecutor's office. NJAFA has become even more involved than before working with law enforcement on reporting cruelty. The president and founder of NJAFA has her certification in Animal Cruelty and knows Title Four very well. |
| Other | We drive all over S. Jersey to investigate reports of cruelty, to court, transported animals that needed help and attended workshops to learn about changes to Title Four and new cruelty statues. We assisted rescue partners with animals found in cruelty situations. For example, on a cold March day in 2019, we discovered an abandoned domestic pig living outside in a wire cage. We worked with law enforcement to get the pig removed to a safe sanctuary. |
| Other | In 2019 our long-term foster dog was named the ASPCA Dog of the Year. Sweet Pea was a bait dog survivor that was recognized world-wide due to her resiliancy. Along with being the Office Face of Dog Fighting Awareness for the State of NJ, Sweet Pea holds these two monikers proudly. |
| Other | NJ Aid for Animals gets leads on individuals in Camden, NJ intentionally breeding dogs where it is illegal and reports them. Essentially, we are witnesses involving many trips to Municipal Court. |
| Other | NJFA also funded a dog that needed rehabilitation training and she is in a wonderful home. |
| Other | LEGISLATION |
| Other | 2019 was our first foray into the important issues surrounding animals and the vital legislation that is needed for private citizens to get involved in bills that may or may not be good for animals and pets in NJ. |
| Other | Our president began to network with legislators to seek NJAFA's expertise and acumen before creating the bills that will affect all of our animals. We tesitifed in Trenton on one bill that we managed to get passed and one bill that was squashed that would have been punitive. |
| Other | SOLUTIONS TO ANIMAL ISSUES HELP PEOPLE TOO |
| Other | We are a clearinghouse of information for pet owners and a great resource for people reaching out with pet problems. Even other animal charities call NJAFA for guidance, information, resource sharing, and general questions, We receive dozens of calls and emails every day from people all over the State of NJ who either need to give up an animal, don't have food, can't afford medical treatment or myriad of other reasons. We offer a list of medical financial aid organizations, low cost vet services, help to rehome an animal, offer food if they can't afford or just try to walk the individual through the problem and find a solution together. By resolving ways to keep a pet at home, it reduces the number of animals going through the impound facilities (shelters). |
| Other | NJAFA works very closely with local animal control who will alert NJAFA of a family that may want to surrender their pet but we can help the family keep the pet by something as simple as a flea treatment! We pride ourselves on solving a pet owners' issue and actually circumventing it right from the shelter. |
| Other | COMMUNITY OUTREACH COLLABORATION |
| Other | Whether collaborating with the local fire dept. in Camden, or other organizations to network an animal, NJAFA's President is on the board of an organization in Camden made up of other social service agencies, private businesses and other non-profits to recognize and collaborate on the animal problems within that area. |
| Other | SAVING MORE ANIMALS |
| Other | NJAFA organized a large-scale spay-neuter for ferrall outside community cats in Camden, NJ, and in collaboration with the local shelter they were fixed for free. NJAFA spearheaded the trapping, transport, recovery and fixing almost 50 cats back to their care givers in Camden. |
| Other | NJAFA sponsored a three-day even bringing Jim Crosby, an internationally known dog-trainer and fatal dog bite attack expert, to offer free temperment testing for a very large high-kill shelter in Philadelphia. Two days were spent hands-on at the shelter training shelter employees and one day we hosted a free workshop that attracted almost 200 fosters, trainers, shelter workers and volunteers to encourage safe dog handling. |
| Other | NJAFA sponsored a one-day workshop with the leading expert in the state of NJ on animal cruelty. Stu Goldman, an ex SPCA cruelty trainer shared his acumen with private citizens and other rescues on "How to Recognize and Report Cruelty for Successful Prosecution." |
| Other | RESTRICTED FUNDS |
| Other | One of our very longest term and very hard to adopt dogs had ACL surgery in 2016. This dog's other leg will need to be done at some juncture. We found a loving home for the dog but adopter would not have funds to do this so NJAFA pledged 3k for future surgery. |
| Other | Event and marketing independent contractor $11,692.71. |
