Major thanks to Todd Campbell and TBJ Incorporated

The Cumberland Valley Animal Shelter received a donation of a surgery table and an anesthesia machine from TBJ Incorporated, on June 24. Pictured on the left are Cindy and Todd Campbell; Jennifer Merletti, Shelter Manager; and Tish Krotzer, Fundraising Representative.
The equipment, valued at more than $7,000, was donated by Todd Campbell, president of TBJ Incorporated. He and his wife, Cindy, toured the new animal shelter a few months ago.
"I saw in their procedure room that they had an old surgery table that was sitting on concrete blocks to raise the height up to a more convenient work level,” Campbell said. “I immediately thought that for such a nice, new facility, they should have better equipment.”
Fortunately, Campbell’s company manufactures height-adjustable animal surgery tables.
“The fact that we make equipment that the shelter needed and my wife Cindy and I have rescued two dogs of our own over the years, made it an easy decision to provide them with proper equipment to perform the outstanding services they provide for the local community." Campbell concluded.
CVAS Shelter Manager, Jennifer Merletti, was thrilled with the new addition to the surgery suite.
“In the past, when we’ve had 100 pound dogs to spay or neuter, we had to have three people lift the animal to the table. Now with the new machine being able to be raised and lowered it won’t be nearly as hard on our backs,” Merletti said. “This is great!”
Nancy Gardner, president of the CVAS Board of Directors, appreciates the help of businesses in the community.
"We are so grateful for the generosity of TBJ, Inc.,” Gardner said. “It's wonderful to know that local companies support our mission. This donation will benefit our animals tremendously."
Fundraising Representative Tish Krotzer set up the tour for the Campbells.
"We can judge the heart of a man by his kindness and generosity, as one who cares about saving the animals and giving them a second chance,” Krotzer said. “Todd Campbell is one of those special people and CVAS is so honored to have Todd, and his wife Cindy, as a part of the shelter family.”
TBJ, Incorporated is a worldwide leader specializing in the design and fabrication of ventilated workstations and associated equipment for the laboratory, research and pharmaceutical industries.

CVAS and all animal lovers thank Sen. Rich Alloway for his strong support of SB 626, which would ban live pigeon shoots in Pennsylvania, and HB 1750, which would prohibit the use of cats and dogs for food, and prohibit owners from using them as targets. Hard to believe some people consider these a sport, isn't it? United Against Puppy Mills urges residents of Pennsylvania to contact their state legislators and urge them to support House Bill 1750. Sessions of the Senate will continue throughout the weekend (June 28, 29) and a full vote of the General Assemble is scheduled for Monday, June 30th. Your state senator and representatives as well as their contact info can be found by visiting: http://www.legis.state.pa.us/cfdocs/legis/home/findyourlegislator |
