SALEM - Nearly a year after several animals
were rescued from a dog-fighting ring in Penns Grove home last November,
Khalil Spikes was officially sentenced for his role in the incident Friday.
Spikes will serve five years probation and pay restitution of more than
$9,000 as part of a plea deal reached in September.
Spikes, 29, now of Sheffield Drive in Willingboro, had previously pleaded
guilty to a third-degree count of allowing a place for dog-fighting in
September. He was sentenced Friday morning in state Superior Court in Salem.....click

PIT
AND OWNER BURNED OUT OF THEIR CAR
Poor Rudy and Nigel...a foreclosure caused them to have to live in their car
with all their belongings...then their CAR CAUGHT ON FIRE!!! Nigel called
EVERYWHERE and could get no help. The shelter would NOT allow him to bring
his pibbles and told us we were the only group to return his call and help
him.NJAFA gave a shout out to Pinups for Pitbulls who blasted the message
all over!!! Central Bark Doggie Day Care in Philly stepped up and offered a
place for Rudy to stay for FREE while he and Nigel get on their feet. Here
is a picture of Rudy who is also getting some FREE obedience lessons (may as
use his time wisely!!) from OPPORTUNITY BARKS!!! A special thanks to AWA who
neutered Rudy because he had to be neutered to go into doggie day care!!! Please
support these companies in PA.

OSCAR PROJECT AT ABSEGAMI HIGH SCHOOL
NJAFA was asked to collaborate on a project the High
School is doing for "one book, one school". The book
they are all reading is "The Absolutely True Diary of
a Part Time Indian", a novel by Sherman Alexie that
has won every literary award for young adult
literature. Based on a true story of a Native Amerian
Indian living on a reservation, the protagonist's dog
and childhood friend, Oscar. had to be shot because
the family could not afford vet care. In an effort to
raise awareness about humane education, the principal
of AHS invited NJAFA to put together a curriculum for
the Business students. The students are forming a
"mock non profit" that will raise money for needy
animals in the Atlantic Co. area for distemper shots.
Our President, Kathy McGuire, attends the classes
twice a week and facilitates the students through the
process of forming a charity including choosing team
leaders, picking a mission statement and name, coming
up with a logo and fundraisers....click
