According to South Orange Deputy Village Administrator Adam Loehner, the Jersey Animal Coalition is receiving citations every day due to "the JAC knowingly taking an quarantined animal from the facility". The dog, named Rocky, was allegedly signed out of the JAC shelter to a rescue group despite the quarantine.
In an email to Essex County Place, Loehner said that this is an "unfortunate situation that is needlessly being drawn out because the JAC refuses to follow state laws and local ordinances laws that are there to protect the animals they house at their facility".
