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.

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.

Home until about seven years ago was in southern New Jersey about 40 miles from Atlantic City in Vineland, which is in the rural part of the state.  I spent two years in Plymouth Meeting, outside of Philadelphia, before coming to Wellsboro.  I worked in the education field for 33 years as a teacher, counselor, and administrator, mostly at the high school level.  I have two sons who live in New Jersey who each have two children.  About three years ago I got involved in trap shooting which I love to do.  I also enjoy reading very much.  The most rewarding volunteer work I have done is with Habitat for Humanity and of course my work here with the animals.  I also visit the Green Home in Wellsboro every Wednesday with our Dog “Missy” who brightens the lives of the people there.   Missy was adopted as a stray from the SPCA in Wellsboro before it became Animal Care Sanctuary.  Mark Twain said, “I like animals better than most people and that includes most of my relatives.”  I‘ve changed that a little-I like animals better than all people and that includes all of my relatives.  I am also a long time contributor to the SPCA and Best Friends Animal Sanctuary in Southern Utah, which I had the good fortune to visit a few years ago.
