I have been asked to solicit volunteers to help Robert Friedlander, a New York attorney, with his pro bono representation of a New Jersey charity, Shelter Our Pets. He is not familiar with New Jersey law and would appreciate the assistance of a sympathetic and generous member of our Bar.
The following is a description of the organization from Mr. Friedlander:
Shelter our Pets, a New Jersey nonprofit organization, is looking for an additional pro-bono attorney to provide legal advice and assistance on an ongoing basis. A description of the Organization is as follows.
Shelter Our Pets is an all-volunteer nonprofit corporation serving New Jersey. Our mission is to provide a safe haven for the pets of victims of domestic violence who are fleeing their abusive situations. Shelter Our Pets assists people seeking safety from violence by providing alternatives to giving up a beloved pet, leaving a pet behind in a potentially dangerous situation or continuing to subject themselves and their pets to abuse.
Shelter Our Pets provides a specialized service, offering loving care and shelter to pets of abuse victims, either with a foster family or at an area kennel, until they can be reunited with their owners. Our long term vision is to create housing where abuse survivors can reside with their pets while they rebuild their lives.
Shelter Our Pets services include fostering, boarding, medical care, behavior modification, food, toys, supplies and all the love and nurturing pets need while under our care. Shelter Our Pets will also offer adoption services for pets who can no longer be kept by their owners.
If anyone is interested, please contact Robert Friedlander at [email protected], or at the contact information below..
Thanks.
