Following the resignations of Stafford Township’s two animal control officers during the past month, the municipality is taking action to ensure services don’t lapse, said Mayor Gregory Myhre.

“We’re in a position that we needed to act quickly,” Myhre said on Monday, Aug. 8, ahead of the township council’s meeting on Tuesday, during which it was scheduled to vote on temporarily contracting A-Academy of South Jersey from Aug. 10 through Dec.
