"Many of us have dogs and cats as pets, that become loved members of our families," Walsh said.
The shelter has had many volunteers over the years and its operation and treatment of the animals have created divisions and controversy. Walsh said the investigation into Hi Tor followed concerns from the public. The documentation, required by the shelter's contract with the county, violated the center's contract with the county.Ī Rockland grand jury returned an indictment charging DiBernardo with one count of first-degree of offering a false instrument for filing and 17 counts of second-degree falsifying business records, Walsh said. Then on July 1, 2020, as part of DiBernardo's submission of animal documentation to the Rockland Health Department, she allegedly filed an animal intake voucher containing false information. On June 25, 2020, DiBernardo, in her role as president of Hi-Tor Animal Care Center, directed the false entry of documents into the shelter's business records related to the intake of 17 animals, the release stated.

Resources to help nonprofits improve their DEI practices can be found here. Charity Navigator has developed a plan to iterate and expand upon our preliminary DEI ratings and will be rolling it out gradually in order to provide charities ample time to incorporate, report, and potentially improve their equity practices. Our preliminary assessment of the nonprofit's DEI practices was developed with the expertise and advice of dozens of leaders in the nonprofit and philanthropic sectors and is based on the Equity Strategies information collected through Candid's Demographics profile. The National Council of Nonprofits has compiled several resources and studies that document how effective DEI practices can help organizations cultivate staff belonging and motivation, improve management and governance practices, and spark innovation that can help nonprofits achieve their missions. There is a growing body of research which shows that effective DEI practices can promote a more positive organizational culture, which can influence the nonprofit's ability to achieve impact on the people and communities they serve.
