Centers Cares 2024, a charitable program by Centers Health Care, made its stop at the Animal Adoption Center of New Jersey (AAC) on Berlin Road North in Lindenwold this morning and presented a check for $2,700 to that organization. The $2,700 was chosen because the company, Centers Health Care, one of the largest networks of post-acute care skilled nursing facilities and rehabilitation centers in the northeast, has been in business for 27 years.

This small, family-friendly, no-kill animal shelter in Lindenwold was the top vote-getter in New Jersey, and they provide temporary shelter and medical care for rescued cats and dogs to find them suitable and permanent new homes. The AAC will educate the community regarding the importance of spay/neuter programs, and promote thoughtful and healthy relationships between pet owners and their animals, in part by providing our adopted cats and dogs with lifetime support.

The Animal Adoption Center of New Jersey was chosen among six other non-profits based on a vote that took place at various Centers Health Care locations.
