Deal Police Department Commends Efforts to Support Shelter Animals
Deal, NJ – The Deal Police Department has expressed gratitude to notable figures and organizations for their recent contributions to raising awareness about shelter animals and the importance of adopting pets. In a message shared on social media, they highlighted the efforts of @famousmisspeaches and David Portnoy, known as El Presidente, for their impactful advocacy.
The story of Miss Peaches, a shelter pet, has resonated with many and has effectively showcased the positive impact that shelter animals can have on families. Her journey has brought much-needed attention to the benefits of adopting pets from shelters.
In a heartwarming development, the Deal Fire Department recently adopted a dog named Gus from the Monmouth County SPCA. Gus now resides at the Deal Firehouse, where he provides companionship to the firefighters. The department extended a special thanks to Green Leaf Pet Resort for donating a comprehensive training program for Gus, aiding his transition into his new role as an ambassador for shelter pets.
The Deal Police Department, known for its strong support of animal welfare, shared that many of its officers have adopted rescue pets, integrating them into their families. The department’s commitment is further demonstrated through its annual Howl-Iday fundraiser, held in honor of the late officer Jeff Henry. This event, organized by Deal PBA Local 101, has been supporting local shelters with food, supplies, and monetary donations for the past nine years.
The police department encourages the community to adopt shelter pets or contribute to local shelters in any way possible. Those interested in helping can send a direct message or speak with any Deal officer.
