WE PROVIDED FREE SPAY, NEUTER, MICROCHIPPING AND ALL REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. Summer of 2023: During the summer of 2023, we chose to help two dog families. One was Penguin. Penguins family had recently become homeless and were sleeping in their vehicle. Penguins mom and 15 year old human sister needed help 0 113525 Instead of us taking the dog from the family who had already seen enough, we decided to put them up in a dog friendly hotel for two months. We wanted to keep the dog with her family and the way to do that was to aid the family with more than just vetting. We fundraised for them and people responded. This allowed Penguins mom to get settled with the state and to finally move into an apartment at the end of August 2023. 0 0 SEE SCHEDULE O FOR OTHER 2023 ACTIVITIES 0 0 The second dog was Papo. Papo and his dad had recently come to the NJ area from North Carolina. Papos dad had a place to stay until the family member realized Papo was part of the package. Papo and his dad were put out by family and they were both living in Papos dads car. When Papos dad reached out to us to surrender Papo, we wanted to give them the same opportunity we were giving Penguins family. We housed Papo and his dad in a dog friendly hotel, mostly with the help from one donor. We also found Papos dad another opportunity to work, doing what it is Papos dad does, but at a higher pay rate. Through all this, Papo was still surrendered to us. After being surrendered, the same donor who paid for all the hotels, decided to try to foster Papo for us. Unfortunately, the resident dog was not fond of Papo. This same donor paid our trainer to Board and Train Papo. Papo spent quite a few months with K9 Training with Byron, from October 2023 until Papo was adopted in February 2024Biggie On June 3, 2023, we received a call from the Paterson Animal Shelter that they had a dog in their custody that was microchipped to Brick City Rescue. Upon us looking into this, it appears that the dog was a found as a stray in March of 2022 and we had temporary custody of the dog until he was reclaimed by the owner during March of 2022. We had tendered the owner the microchip info as well as the vet record of vaccines, and also made a follow up vet visit, on Brick City Rescue, to have the dog neutered. We never saw this dog again, until June 3, 2023. We reclaimed the dog from the Paterson Shelter. We took him to ER vet to see if he was ok. Then followed up with our regular vet. It was clear to everyone that this dog was in pain. His joints were swollen and he had a limp. We renamed this dog Biggie. Biggie was the biggest mush we had ever met. He was approx. 8-9 years old, but his body was worn down from his life living outdoors on hard surfaces that we thought Biggie was approx. 11 years old. Biggie resided with our Treasurer, Veronica for the time being. Biggie was a good companion for Veronicas senior dog. He fit in. He was on so much medication for his arthritis. We had to move Biggie temporarily to another volunteer while Veronica traveled for work. During this transfer to the other volunteer, she noticed Biggies joints were starting to split. She took him to our vet, and that is when we received the news that Biggie was not living a good life. He was suffering. So as much as we comforted him, and medicated him and just let him be lazy, he was hurting and his quality of life was not good. It sadden us to no end, that we had to put Biggie down. Biggie was surrounded by all of us when the time came and his ashes went home with us. We celebrated Biggie by generating awareness to what had been his life. We filed charges against his previous owners, only to have the Passaic County Prosecutor turn down our case. We created shirts and stickers in his memory, reminiscent of Biggie Smalls.It was all a dream. 113525 STEPHANIE M DEVIVO PRESIDENT AND CO-FOUNDER 4.00 0 0 0 TANYA KUDACIK VICE PRESIDENT AND CO-FOUNDER 12.00 0 0 0 VERONICA JACK-DRAKE TREASURER 12.00 0 0 0 PAM WILLIAMS SECRETARY 4.00 0 0 0 AMY DIRENZO BOARD MEMBER 4.00 0 0 0 FLO VEHBI BOARD MEMBER 5.00 0 0 0 JEFF MROZAK BOARD MEMBER 9.00 0 0 0 VICTORIA MCBRIDE BOARD MEMBER 4.00 0 0 0 JESSICA ROMANO BOARD MEMBER 3.00 0 0 0 NIKKI PAREKH BOARD MEMBER 3.00 0 0 0 MEAVE KIRWAN BOARD MEMBER 7.00 0 0 0 DIANA NATALE BOARD MEMBER 2.00 0 0 0 false false false false false false false 0 0 false false TANYA KUDLACIK 7 AZALEA DRIVE WALLINGTON NJ 07057 2016942170 false false false false false false false false false false false NONE NONE true X 0 0 105641 108610 82529 122165 418945 13300 6075 11200 30575 0 0 105641 121910 88604 133365 449520 0 0 0 449520 449520 1.00000 1.00000 0.00000 0.00000 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED Pt III, Line 31 The second dog was Papo.
