When you register for Par 4 Paws, you're doing more than enjoying a day on the golf course. You're helping provide the resources necessary to rescue, care for, and save animals who desperately need a second chance.
Funds raised through this event help cover the many expenses involved in animal rescue, including:
<ul><li>Medical bills and emergency medical care</li><li>Transportation costs to bring animals from overcrowded and high-risk shelters to safety</li><li>Spay/neuter surgeries and vaccinations</li><li>Medications and preventative care</li><li>Food and fresh water</li><li>Shelter and operational expenses, including heating, air conditioning, utilities, and daily maintenance</li><li>Supplies and enrichment</li><li>And the many unexpected expenses that arise when caring for animals in need</li></ul>
Rescue doesn't end when an animal leaves a shelter. It takes transportation, medical care, food, shelter, dedicated volunteers, fosters, and an entire community of supporters to get that animal from a difficult situation to a loving forever home.
Your participation helps make that journey possible.
<h2>Come Play. Come Have Fun. Come Save Lives.</h2>
Gather your foursome and join us for a day that combines your love of golf with a cause that changes lives.

Eleventh Hour Rescue is a primarily volunteer based, no-kill rescue that saves animals on Death Row from overcrowded high kill shelters, as well as taking in strays and owner surrenders before they go to the shelter. Eleventh Hour Rescue dogs and cats are cared for by our compassionate and dedicated team of volunteers and staff.
&nbsp;Whether in foster homes, our kennel, or adoption centers, each dog and cat receive a clean and safe living environment, fresh food and water, medical attention, and most importantly an abundance of love and care until they find their forever homes. We are dedicated to educating the community about the animal overpopulation problem and the importance of spaying and neutering, as well as microchipping. Our goal is to find the best forever home possible for all of our animals, no matter what breed, size, age, or medical need.

An Essex County home inspector has built a free website that lets anyone look up the public records behind a New Jersey property &mdash; building permits, flood zones, fire history, property taxes, and more &mdash; by typing in an address.
The site, Permit &amp; Parcel (oprasearch.app), covers all 564 New Jersey municipalities and pulls only from official sources: state and county databases, FEMA flood maps, and the towns' own municipal codes. There's no account, no email capture, and no cost.
"I kept watching buyers fall in love with a house before anyone checked the paper trail &mdash; the open permits, the flood zone, what the town actually requires when a home changes hands," said Leo Betancor, a Certified Master Inspector based in Cedar Grove and the founder of the site. "All of that is public record. It just wasn't in one place anyone could actually use."
Alongside the main lookup, the site includes free single-purpose tools: a lead-safe inspection lookup showing which of the two state-required inspection methods each town uses under New Jersey's lead paint law, a searchable directory of every DCA-certified lead evaluation and abatement contractor sorted by distance, a fire-incident map built from more than 40 years of state fire records, and a radon map covering every municipality.
A companion site, njflood.zone, gives instant FEMA flood-zone answers for any New Jersey address &mdash; built after the federal government shutdown left FEMA's own map site unreliable &mdash; running on the site's own servers with the complete flood map data for the state loaded locally.
The project was recently featured in <a href="https://www.tapinto.net/towns/east-hanover-slash-florham-park/columns/at-home-with-holly/articles/deep-dive-conversations-what-the-house-won-t-tell-you" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">TAPinto</a>'s "At Home with Holly" column. Both sites are free at <a href="https://oprasearch.app" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">oprasearch.app</a> and <a href="https://njflood.zone" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">njflood.zone</a>.
