East Rockaway, New York-based attorney Marc Rovner helps BETA Abstract LLC succeed as its director of business development and senior staff attorney. Active in his community, Marc Rovner of East Rockaway supports several organizations, including the Children’s Rights Council (CRC). Since 1985, CRC has been strengthening families and reducing suffering among children. One of the ways the organization does this is through such programs as its mediation program. Through this program, CRC acts as a mediator between two disputing parties. The mediator is responsible for resolving disputes when parties are unwilling or unable to do so in other ways. Mediators are always neutral and are not involved in any decision-making. In most cases, mediation is voluntary and can be initiated by either one party or both parties. In some situations, a court may also order disputing parties to resolve their problems with a mediator. When mediation is court-ordered, both parties are required to participate. CRC provides mediation in either case. Most of the CRC mediation work is done in family courts. Legally, agreements between both parties can be spoken or written, but CRC prefers the latter. In the event an agreement cannot be reached, parties may use other methods to resolve their issues.

As the general counsel and director of business development of BETA Abstract LLC, Marc Rovner of East Rockaway, New York, supervises legal departments and integrates business development initiatives across offices in three states, New York, New Jersey and Florida. Attorney Marc Rovner, who primarily runs the Oceanside, New York office, supports a variety of nonprofit organizations outside his professional work, including the Puppy Love Pet Rescue. The rescue advocates for adopting a dog from a rescue or shelter, instead of purchasing from a breeder or pet store. Adopting a dog comes with multiple advantages, as explored below. 1. Save a life. Dogs end up in shelters for a variety of reasons, from owner abandonment or relinquishment to removal from a neglectful or abusive owner. Some previously lived on the streets. Adopting means giving a dog a second chance at life and helps the rescue or shelter make room for new arrivals. 2. Dogs are partially to fully trained. You can avoid some of the stress of training a dog by adopting one that already knows the basic obedience and house manners. Older puppies and most adult dogs will also have already been housebroken. 3. Pre-screened and medically up-to-date. Shelters and rescues screen dogs for behavior and aggression issues before putting them up for adoption. Reputable facilities also make staying up-to-date on vaccinations a priority, which helps ensure you adopt a healthy pet. 4. Lower price tag. While fees may vary, shelters and rescues ask for a much smaller adoption fee than the purchase price of a dog from a breeder or pet store. Shelter and rescue dogs may also be spayed/neutered and vaccinated, which prevents you from needing to pay for these services after adoption. 5. Reduces puppy mill support. Adopting a dog from a shelter or rescue draws support away from puppy mills, which contribute to a nationwide pet overpopulation problem. Many shelters are filled to capacity due to this issue, forcing some shelters to resort to euthanizing dogs in their care to make room for new ones. East Rockaway resident Marc Rovner, an award winning attorney, has served BETA Abstract, LLC., of Oceanside, NY in a variety of roles, including general counsel and director of business development, since joining the major title insurance company in 1998. Marc Rovner is also an active supporter of animal rescues and charities in the East Rockaway area. He is particularly supportive of Puppy Love Pet Rescue and, along with his daughters, has helped find homes for more than 100 puppies. There are a number of reasons to consider adopting a dog from a shelter rather than purchasing a puppy from a reputable breeder. That said, some individuals and families may be apprehensive about adopting a dog without knowing the animal’s full background. Fortunately, there are a few behavioral cues and physical traits potential dog owners can look for as they attempt to identify the perfect match for their home and lifestyle. General observation is one of the more obvious and effective ways of gauging a dog’s attitude. Individuals should begin by observing the dog’s behavior from a distance before slowly approaching the kennel and assuming a neutral, non-threatening position. In these moments, a dog may show itself as affectionate, needy, aggressive, submissive, or some combination of these and other reactions. Dogs that remain amiable over the course of general observation can be interacted with in a variety of additional ways, from lowering one’s self to one knee to petting and physically engaging the animal. Dogs that have passed the general observation stage should be taken for a walk. Again, some dogs may be perfectly trained to walk on a lease, while others might act frightened of or threatened by the world around them. After a walk, potential dog owners should take the animal to a secluded, quiet room and gauge the animal’s interest in playtime or a short training session. It should be noted that these are basic tips for assessing a shelter dog. Shelters can often provide some additional information on the animal, including its family history and any relevant behavioral incidents. Furthermore, a dog that behaves aggressively in a kennel is not necessarily an aggressive dog, but may require more attention and effort at home. For a more thorough assessment, individuals may need to foster the dog for several days and consult with a trusted veterinarian.
