Sen. Singleton To Volunteer With Burlington County Animal Shelter

State Sen. Troy Singleton (D-7) will partner with the Burlington County Animal Shelter for his next Day of Service on Feb. 22, 10 a.m. to noon. The animal shelter is located at 35 Academy Drive in Westampton.

Singleton will be joined by a team of volunteers to perform a variety of tasks, including: preparing food, washing laundry, dish washing, sorting donations, cleaning windows and doors, scooping outside for debris, restocking, and creating profile cards for the animals.

Singleton’s office is also collecting supplies for the animal shelter. Needed supplies can be dropped off at 400 North Church Street, Suite 260, in Moorestown through Feb. 21. The office is open Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Suggested donations include: new toys, unopened dry/wet cat and dog food, cat litter, flea/tick preventative, dish soap, sponges, paper towels, dryer sheets, laundry detergent, and large trash bags.

“Over the past two years, we have spent over 1,000 hours volunteering our time on a wide array of service projects throughout our local communities,” Singleton said. “Whether we are helping people or pets, our volunteers demonstrate compassion and concern for the organizations we are serving, and I am thrilled to have the opportunity to partner with the Burlington County Animal Shelter.”

“As liaison to the Burlington County Animal Shelter, I see first-hand the need for volunteers. Many times, the animals that come to the shelter are in desperate need of care and attention, having been abandoned or neglected,” Freeholder Dan O’Connell said. “The people who help at the shelter give these animals a better life while they wait for their forever home. We are extremely thankful to Senator Troy Singleton for arranging this event and helping our furry friends.”

The Burlington County Animal Shelter seeks to create an environment where all animals receive appropriate care, love, and attention at all times. To ensure the best possible quality of life for all of our animals the Shelter works hard to promote respect and reverence by establishing a “no kill” philosophy.

By working with committed volunteers and rescues, over a thousand animals’ lives are saved each year. Additionally, the shelter provides the essential services for reuniting lost pets with their owners.
