| Me on the Day I was Adopted |
As all of my friends know, I am an adopted little 7 lb Girl Yorkie, from the shelter in Vineland, New Jersey, and I am so excited, to have been selected to be one of twelve finalists, for "Dog of the Year 2012". I am being sponsored by
“Bobs Little SportShop” in Clayton, New Jersey.
Please read more about the Contest and how to vote on line, after the jump Here.
On Monday, April 23rd the Dog of the Year display was visiting, Sabater Elementary School in Vineland. They did a short assembly explaining to the children what the SPCA is and introducing the Dog of the Year contest. The display was then left in the lobby for one week so the children and staff could vote for their favorites.

| The Cumberland County SPCA |
The Cumberland County Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (CCSPCA) was founded in 1891 and incorporated in June 1947, as a non-profit organization and a chapter of the NJState SPCA. The staff and board of trustees are deeply involved and committed to all aspects of animal care and welfare. The money to finance the shelter comes from fees charged to municipalities to house their stray animals, fees charged to adopt, reclaim or release an animal to them, dues, donations, grants, fund-raisers and bequests from caring individuals.

| My Good Friend Robyn |
All of the Employees and Volunteers are really nice. They go out of their way to be friendly and take good care of the animals that have to live in the Shelter. My good friends Robyn and Christine took really good care of me for the short while I had to live at the Shelter. Robyn handled my adoption and introduced me to my "D". If you have the room and want an animal to share your home with you, here is how you can adopt.
In their function as a humane society, the shelter serves as a refuge for thousands of stray, unwanted, abused, abandoned and sick animals. The CCSPCA is the only law enforcement agency authorized solely for the protection of animals. Each year their cruelty agents investigate nearly 1,000 reports of animal abuse and neglect. Many times they can stop abuse through education; however, other cases require prosecuting the guilty parties. Each year the humane education programs, offered free to schools and community groups, reach thousands, teaching basic pet care, safety and the understanding that all living creatures deserve our respect.

| This way to the Clinic (I didn't like this part) |
Each year their clinic provides the general public and thousands of animal’s access to their low-cost spay and neuter services. In addition to sheltering and protecting animals, the shelter also acts as a clearinghouse for the thousands of phone calls requesting information on animal related issues and problems.
 |
| This is their Main Kennel. My "D" found me in the first Cage |
Their new state of the art facility allows them to hold more animals longer, treat sick animals and offer the community access to low-cost spay/neuter services.
 |
| They Keep the Cats in here |
 |
| This is Memory Lane, a sad place where all the Animals that are no longer with us are remembered |
Finally, I hope you will Adopt an animal if you can and if you can't Please support the SPCA by
Voting for Me, as "Dog of the Year" with your donation.
Thanks
Dolly
