Mission: Coalition for Jobs and the Environment (CJE) was founded in 1990 to coordinate and assist the efforts of isolated grassroots citizens' groups in northeast Tennessee and southwestern Virginia who were originally combating the issues of using abandoned coal mines as landfills for solid waste and incinerator ash from non-regional states. Jobs and money became the main leverage tools to encourage communities to support this type of industry. CJE helped member groups to organize and fight this industry by examining the sources of incoming wastes and the effects they would have on the regional economy, water, air, and land. Currently, CJE is working on job initiatives in the region that support entrepreneurship and is establishing programs in local communities to introduce career opportunities for youth in the fields of wildlife management, horticulture and education, along with sponsoring an annual conference and publishing a quarterly newsletter.

Care includes medical and surgical care by veterinarians, nutritional rehabilitation and stabilization, grooming, training, behavioral modification and socialization, as well as any other needsa that become evident.

We continue to network with them and in july we oversaw a sad family crisis situation wherein a family with severe medical crisis required the surrender of their 14 dogs. Coordinating locally in arizona, we performed the intake in extreme conditions, sought local veterinarian emergency treatments. And once able to transport took ownership of these hounds we called the azbhr specials. Despite continued decline in donations and grants, we were able to continue to operate at maximum capacity throughout 2014 through additional fundraisers. Our totals for 2014 on hounds assisted are as follows:daily maximum of 66 hounds (plus 10 foster homes) = 22,400 canine care annually. 2014 stats: 282 adoptions, 23 end of life sanctuary program, 96 family crisis program cases, reunification of 42 canines, 53 additional canines were placed through networking partners.
