JACKSON – Cameron Lord, a teenager from Jackson, was honored recently by the Ocean County Board of Health for his ongoing generosity toward homeless pets in the county.
Cameron recently donated $3,000 to the Northern Ocean County Animal Facility to help cover adoption fees for cats and dogs in need of forever homes. His latest contribution follows a $3,600 donation last year that funded adoption fees for 17 dogs and 48 cats during the Clear the Shelter national campaign and beyond.
A passionate advocate for animals, Cameron expressed his hope that this year’s donation will help even more pets find loving families.
Ocean County Commissioner Jennifier Bacchione, liaison to the Board of Health, joined Cameron and his parents during the recognition ceremony.
“Thank you, Cameron, for your compassion and continued support for the animals of Ocean County,” the Board said in a statement.
