Venturing beyond SVAS, she established ACAR to provide animal care without the constraints of municipal border restrictions, and formed a Board composed of proven animal welfare professionals. 

Angelia is supported by a network of friends, family, and colleagues, that will serve as the foundation for ACAR's successes.

In addition to her nonprofit work, Angelia finds fulfillment in her loving husband, two beautiful sons—Stephen and Vincent—and their two rescue dogs, Jeffie and Noelle.
