Jacqueline Greulich, LPN is originally from Franklin Lakes, NJ and transferred down to Toms River NJ while working for Citizens First National Bank to become assistant branch manager in Ship Bottom on Long Beach Island.
At 61, I wanted to go to nursing school after caring for my mother and other family members, and by the grace of God, obtained my practical nursing license in NJ and PA. I now work as an LPN at The Haven at Silverwoods in Toms River, NJ.
Ron Sheehan and I have known each other since 1961. He became involved with Animal Care when he moved down to Toms River in 1981. When I moved down to Toms River in 1987, I had the privilege of meeting Leslie Sinclair after Ron had helped her moved up to East Smithfield, PA. I always admired Ron’s dedication to Lesley’s Animal Care and the furries and was always aware of the many changes taking place after her death. When Ron passed in October of 2010, I was honored when the Board of Directors asked me to fill Ron’s seat.
Animals have always been a part of my life, from saving critters to raising English Springer Spaniel puppies. We have had guinea pigs, hamsters, dogs, cats and horses. Love them all. I am now sharing our cabin in Pa with a small snake and few mice. They are God’s creatures after all. I share my home in NJ with my dog Toby.
After graduating from Athens High School, I started my career at Schweizer Aircraft Corp. in Big Flats, NY. Within the same year I also started my sales career at Joe’s Marine. Working both jobs till 1989, my passion for cars won out and I opened Bradford Motors in Sayre, which I “retired” at the end of 2006. After taking a year off (you can only golf & fish so much) I opened Hughes Notary Service at the car lot location. As an Agent for PennDot, this small business is growing in leaps & bounds!
My wife and I reside on Conesus Lake, NY but also maintain residences in Sayre and Myrtle Beach.
Over the years we have shared our home with numerous dogs and cats, but because my present schedule won’t allow me enough time for their proper care, I now wish to help others find their “purrfect” pet!
My name is Markie Kane. I started as a volunteer with Animal Care Sanctuary this past Fall. I set up the Purrfect Treasures Shoppe and we opened on “Black Friday”. I feel the Shelter & the Shoppe are both great places to spend your extra time doing something wonderful for the dogs & cats while waiting for their forever home.I am married to Walt “Bud” Kane and we have one grown up son living in Virginia with his wife, Wendy. They have two Dogs that complete their family.
We have a wonderful, handsome yellow lab, Gus who was a a naughty boy growing up. Also we have a delightful little Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. If you are not familiar with that breed, they are in the toy category and resemble a tiny cocker. Molly is quite the lap dog.
I’m retired from Soldiers & Sailors Memorial Hospital. I first worked in the Lab and then moved over the the Laurels where I was the Assistant Administrator. I moved back to Soldiers & Sailors Memorial Hospital where I worked in the Administrative Department, wearing many hats. I retired after working in the Laurel Health System for 20 great years. It was a wonderful place to work.
I waited for just the right place for me to volunteer. I believe I found it at the Animal Care Sanctuary. I am impressed with how it cares for the animals, with respect & love along, with all over care. I admire ACS so much that I am now a Part of their Board of Directors.
