Like many animal rescue organizations, Martha Candy Patches Rescue (MCPR) formed as a result of tragedy. The organization is made up of volunteers who dedicated their time and personal funds to the now defunct Hudson County SPCA (HCSPCA). In January 2008, volunteers reported abuses and misappropriation of funds and partnered with local animal rights groups to change the HCSPCA. 

Eventually, volunteers took action to eliminate the management or shut the HCSPCA down when efforts at change seemed futile. In a last ditch effort to save animals before a court-order to remove animals, volunteers secured foster homes for 17 dogs, but were unable to save three wonderful animals even though homes had been secured for Martha, Candy and Patches.  They were euthanized by the HCSPCA.

When the Liberty Humane Society in Jersey City was tasked with giving shelter to 15 dogs and 25 cats, former HCSPCA volunteers were able to save all of the former HCSPCA animals. Martha, Candy, and Patches became the battle cry for volunteers who vowed “never again” will loving animals suffer or die needlessly in their midst.
