VAO To Celebrate 30th Anniversary At Moorestown Event

MOORESTOWN, NJ — The Voorhees Animal Orphanage (VAO) will celebrate its 30th anniversary at The Venue at Lenola on Friday, May 11, 7 p.m. The Venue at Lenola is located at 229 Lenola Road in Moorestown.

The VAO first opened its doors in 1988 and has been helping homeless animals find their forever homes ever since.

“The VAO has been helping families and pets find one another for three decades, and it remains as valuable to our community today as it was in 1988,” Camden County Freeholder Jeff Nash said. “If you haven’t already, now is a great time to see how the VAO serves local animals, and to help one of our furry friends find a forever home.”

The VAO is the community shelter for the following Camden County municipalities: Audubon, Berlin Borough, Berlin Township, Cherry Hill, Chesilhurst, Gibbsboro, Gloucester City, Haddonfield, Haddon Heights, Laurel Springs, Lawnside, Merchantville, Stratford, Voorhees, Waterford Works, and Woodlynne.

As such, all animals collected by animal control or surrendered by residents are brought to the VAO. VAO is also an adoption center, and works to find suitable, permanent new homes for unclaimed stray animals, surrendered animals, and animals transferred into the shelter from rescue partners.
