ASPCA Update: Alabama rescue of 300 dogs and cats, and critical aid provided during devastating California wildfires

As a 2015 Business Ambassador, KJB Security Products aids investigations with surveillance device donations.

Earlier this year, we announced our ASPCA partnership to you, our dealers, and shared why their work aligns with our core business value to protect vulnerable populations – those without a voice.

The partnership has been extremely rewarding. The important work the organization and volunteers do across the country to protect animals is awe-inspiring and we are proud to play a small role in aiding their efforts.

To recap, the ASPCA is using several of our surveillance devices to aid their field investigations and response team’s efforts to stop animal abuse and neglect. The field team uses the devices for surveillance purposes and to gather evidence as they work across the country in partnership with emergency responders, humane associations and shelters to rescue animals from life-threatening situations and provide them with the essential care they need.

One such investigation involved the raid at a neglectful shelter in Moulton, Ala. where 300 dogs and cats were rescued. An adoption event to find loving families for the animals was held in July and drew more than 900 people from throughout the southeast. A Weekend of New Beginnings: Alabama Adoption Event Recap shares the story of the new beginnings offered to the animals.
Over 900 people, from NASA engineers to former Marines, came to rescue animals after the ASPCA closed down a dangerous and neglectful shelter.























And while not an investigation, we also wanted to share with you the work they have been doing during the devastating California wildfires. ASPCA teams have been on the ground in Northern California since Sept. 13 providing emergency assistance in the midst of the fires. In addition to conducting home searches and rescues, they have helped treat badly burned animals and provided support to overcrowded shelters. Efforts included the rescue of more than 200 animals and have reunited close to 40 pets with their families after being separated during emergency evacuations. They continue to work to reunite displaced animals in the aftermath of the Lake County fire that burned 67,000 acres, destroying nearly 600 homes and leaving approximately 13,000 peoepl displaced.
