<div align="left"><font size="2">Born and raised in Central NJ, Jeffrey Morton has owned dogs and cats his whole life. From a Golden Retriever/Cocker Spaniel mix as a child, to an Irish Setter as a teen, to Old English Sheepdogs, Saint Bernards and French Bulldogs as an adult.<br />
<br />
After attending college for Business Management, Jeff went to work in the retail and electronics field. After 10 years of working in corporate structure, Jeff ventured out on his own, fueled by his love of dogs, opening Shake A Paw in 1992. He expanded the original Green Brook store in 2000 and in 2006, opened a state of the art, 8,000 sq. ft. Superstore in Union.<br />
<br />
Jeffrey owned two Old English Sheepdogs in the early 1990's and learned dog grooming and obedience training. Jeff also started breeding Saint Bernards and doing breed rescue, which is finding homes for dogs given up by their owners. At one time, Jeff owned eleven Saint Bernards, two Sheepdogs and two cats! Many weekends were spent at dog shows throughout the northeast, competing for AKC Championships and meeting with breeders. Jeff owned and trained the #1 Obedience Titled Saint Bernard in 1996, Ch. Lil' Jon's Sigmond Freud, CD, CGC. A major highlight of his career was participating at the world famous Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show at Madison Square Garden in New York City 2 years in a row. Jeff brings his years of experience to work for you, from the whelping box at home, to the competitive dog show ring in New York City.<br />
<br />
The Shake A Paw Rescue and Adoption Center, a New Jersey Non Profit Corporation, began operations in September of 2012. In order to best serve the needs of the community and our rescue dogs, Jeff recently was certified in New Jersey as anAnimal Control Officer and an  Animal Cruelty Investigator.<br />
<br />
Jeff and family currently have three French Bulldogs, and live in Monmouth County, NJ. Our old Golden Retriever named Chanel recently passed away at 9 years old. She will be missed and remembered every day.<br />
