Pam McCloud Smith, Executive Director
Dear Friends, In this issue of Family Tails, you’ll see the ways Dane County Humane Society (DCHS) is making plans today that will have long-term benefits for our community’s future. As a local non-profit, we are continuously challenged to find ways to meet the needs of today, while keeping an eye on the future, ensuring that our mission of Helping People Help Animals is sustained for generations to come. One way we are doing this is by taking a fresh look at our strategic plan. The DCHS Leadership Team and the Board of Directors are in the process of updating this plan by looking at our current programs and operations, and outlining future goals. This will help us determine how we want the organization to grow and evolve. This analysis provides a foundation to build upon and gives us a roadmap for the future. Our updated plan will show our supporters how we utilize our current resources and outline our goals for the coming years. You will also read about our Humane Education program in this issue. Research has shown that humane education can contribute towards creating a compassionate and caring society. We agree and feel there is no better way to ensure a humane ethic for the future of our community than by investing in our children today, teaching them compassionate values and fostering a sense of humane responsibility. From Camp Pawprint, to school tours, presentations, and clubs like Humane Heroes, we offer educational opportunities which will imprint upon our youth the importance and value of the human-animal bond. With the continued support of our community and generous donors, we are making investments today that will help create a more humane community in the future.

Family Scrapbook
Alumni Updates Riot (FKA Cooper) “We adopted Cooper who
we renamed Riot and the experience with the staff was wonderful. They gave us so much information, which we found very helpful. Our Riot is so loving and amazing, and my partner and I could not possibly be any happier or excited to start this journey with him. I have never seen such an outpouring of love for our Riot as when he was getting ready to go home. He is such a sweetie that it seemed like every staff member hugged him goodbye. I have never bought a companion pet, but this experience solidified my questioning as to why more people don’t adopt. I am for sure a shelter mutt lover for life!” – Gabriel Lorendo
Burger (FKA Colin) “Burger enjoys the lush life of relaxing every chance that he gets! He loves playing with his brother Angus and running full speed in the yard! He wins the award for best at cuddling and showing off his pink and blue tongue when he kisses! Jake and I couldn’t have asked for a better addition to the family.” – Dani Edwards
Ernie (FKA ET) “Ernie is a brave, sweet cat, who spends most of his days exploring, and then napping, and then exploring. He’s still not interested in strangers, but he completely trusts us, and we’re so happy. He’s particularly fond of belly rubs and head scratches, and will indicate his desire for both by plopping down wherever he wants (on our laptops, often) and waiting. He spends a lot of time, too, following me around the house: into the bedroom, into the kitchen (especially when he hears the fridge open), and even into the bathroom. He is wonderfully sweet, and so funny. I’ve never had a cat with such a big, goofy personality. I met Ernie back in May, after I had stopped by the Humane Society to donate some cat food. I had just lost my beloved 18-year-old cat, and I had no intention of adopting another cat so soon. But I met Ernie and I knew he’d found his forever home. Brian and I had nothing to do with it, really: Ernie picked us, and we’re so grateful that he did.” – Samantha Abrams 4
Family Tails|Fall 2016
Romeo “I wanted to send a quick update about Romeo. He has been a part of our family now for a week and a
half, and I can’t tell you how much we love him! I do not know what made me bring this dog into my home, given some of the things that his previous owner said about his behavior, specifically incessant barking and going to the bathroom in the house! The only conclusion that I can come to is that Romeo was made for my family, and he wasn’t at home until he was here with us. He is our first pet, and he has surpassed our greatest expectations. I would not trade him for the world. Thank you for taking care of him while he was waiting for us. – Emily Samson
Great Blue Heron While visiting a park with his dogs, off-duty Dane County Animal Services Officer Andy saw some dogs chasing a great blue heron. The bird wasn’t able to fly high enough to get away and Andy knew something wasn’t quite right. Fortunately, Andy was able to catch the bird and found it had some fibrous material stuck around its lower beak. He quickly brought the heron to DCHS’s Four Lakes Wildlife Center. Upon further examination at the wildlife center, staff found the bird to be suffering from starvation with a very thin body condition. She was anemic and had low protein levels in her blood. She also had a wound on her neck that required sutures. After removing the foreign material from her beak, the heron was happy to begin eating easier again. After gaining some weight, and with her neck wound healed and blood work returned to normal, she was ready for release! Animal Services Officer Andy was able to see this case full-circle and was there to release her on October 4 back to the area she was found. – Brooke Lewis CVT, DCHS Wildlife Rehabilitation

Alex , age 10, with Manny, a rescue greyhound
Alex with summer 2016 Camp Pawprint campers
From Camper to Counselor It’s 9 AM and the pitter patter of small feet can be heard coming down the shelter hallway. No, it’s not a pack of pups heading out for a potty break, it’s over 40 children starting their week of camp by getting a tour of the shelter.
“There has truly never been a dull moment at camp. The campers and their carefree attitudes always leave a smile on my face. Also, teaching kids how to respect all animals, whether they are pets or wildlife, is extremely rewarding,” says Alex.
For ten weeks of the summer, DCHS welcomes children ages 7 to 13 for Camp Pawprint, a series of week-long day camps held at the DCHS Main Shelter. Campers get to meet and care for a variety of animals, learn what it takes to be a responsible pet owner, hear from animal experts from diverse career fields and enjoy the company of other animal-loving kids.
“Humane education is so valuable because we are teaching kids how to interact with animals in a positive way, and how to care for and treat animals. Lessons like dog safety and empathy are important, not just for the safety of children, but also for the safety and wellbeing of animals. By having kids put themselves in the animals’ shoes it really helps them understand how to properly treat animals and build the human-animal bond.” Says DCHS Humane Educator, Ash Collins.
The campers break up into smaller groups, heading off to read books to the adoptable cats, prepare meals for the classroom pets or help clean critter cages. At the head of one of these groups is Alex Garvin, a camp counselor who, 10 years ago, was herself a camper at DCHS’s Camp Pawprint. Back as a camper, Alex’s favorite thing about Camp Pawprint was getting to spend all week learning about and seeing a variety of animals, from ferrets to the police horses. Now, as a camp counselor, Alex gets to share her love of animals with a new generation of excited campers.

Family Tails|Fall 2016
At DCHS, we believe education is the best way to help create a more humane community. Through educational programs like Camp Pawprint, we hope to hear about more stories like Alex’s - stories of campers growing up to be loving and responsible pet owners, supportive community members or even go on to work or volunteer at their local shelter.
Pardon Our Dust! The Wild Side of DCHS gets a much needed makeover At the end of June, DCHS celebrated the grand opening of our brand new horse and livestock barn, and in the months following its opening, the new barn has already provided shelter and comfort for many barnyard animals, from horses to chickens and sheep. The building of the horse and livestock barn was only Phase 1 of a project meant to help DCHS meet the growing needs of the community. Now, on to Phase 2! If you have been to the DCHS Main Shelter lately, you might have seen the beginnings of Phase 2 taking place, a remodel of the original barn being used by DCHS’s wildlife rehabilitation program, Four Lakes Wildlife Center (FLWC). Our FLWC program was started in 2002 and initially only used a small part of the barn. The entire barn is now used solely for wildlife rehabilitation.

The remodel of FLWC started in late September
Over the past four years, our wildlife program has taken in approximately 3,000 wild animals each year. The community has a growing desire to help injured or orphaned wildlife, and the remodel of our current wildlife center will help us better meet the future needs of the community. The new wildlife center will feature facility improvements including a better heating and cooling system, a new songbird room, a larger kitchen, a bathroom for staff and volunteers, and new concrete floor with drain additions. “This remodel will allow us to provide improved housing for wildlife patients as they grow and recover from injuries or illness, and will provide a more comfortable work environment for the volunteers that are vital to our operations,” says Brooke Lewis, CVT, DCHS Wildlife Rehabilitation Supervisor.

The third and final phase of this project entails raising funds to support the sustainability of increased intake of farm animals and wildlife. DCHS is planning and asking for support today so we can meet the needs of our humane community tomorrow. Dane County Humane Society|giveshelter.org

Lexi - May 2, 2016
Unexpected Inspiration Lexi - September 11, 2016
The special bond between a boy and his kitten
Like so many of you, Diane Harrison turns on her television on Thursday afternoons to watch the local news and Channel 3’s Petentially Yours segment. After the August 11 segment, she had no idea that hours later she would be changing the lives of two very special kittens as well as the life of her son John. Earlier that day, two 4-month-old kittens, Lexi and Zoe, had made their way back to Dane County Humane Society (DCHS) after months of rehabilitation and recovery in a loving foster home. Three months prior, Lexi and Zoe had been found in a small carrier with 13 other kittens, abandoned on a property. The kittens were thin and many were very ill. You have likely heard heart-wrenching stories like this one, especially during the summer months, which is usually labeled as “kitten season.” Your support helps DCHS provide emergency and “round the clock” care for kittens like these and we thank you. DCHS’s Animal Medical Services (AMS) began the long process of examining each kitten in order to address their various medical needs. Some, like Zoe, were malnourished, dehydrated and needed careful monitoring and care. Others, like Lexi, were facing more serious medical issues. Prior to Lexi’s initial arrival at DCHS, her right eye had ruptured due to a bacterial infection. A few days later, her left eye ruptured as well. AMS staff determined that the best course of action for Lexi was to remove what remained of both eyes, giving her a better chance at a full, healthy life, but also leaving her blind.

The Harisson Family - Paul, Diane, John and Mary along with Lexi and Zoe
John with Lexi and Zoe Your support of our foster program allowed the two kittens to form a special bond, with Zoe, in a sense, becoming Lexi’s ‘seeing eye sister.’ With the guidance and care of their foster mom, Karrie, Lexi began to learn all of the skills which come so naturally to most cats, but can be a challenge to a kitten without sight. Lexi used her sense of smell to find her litter box and food, and developed strong hearing in order to find her way around the house when called. Zoe was her constant companion, comforting Lexi, but also helping her to embrace her playful kitten nature. Lexi and Zoe were clearly a special pair who were going to require a family who would not only adopt them together, but also understand Lexi’s needs. To help find this special family, Public Relations Coordinator Marissa DeGroot decided to showcase them as the Pets of the Week on WISC’s Channel 3 Noon Show. The special connection of Lexi and Zoe was broadcast across South Central Wisconsin, reaching thousands. This bonded pair connected with many people, but DCHS never contemplated just how much Lexi’s condition would particularly resonate with the Harrison family in Watertown - Diane, Paul, Mary and John. Earlier that year, 17-year-old John had lost his sight following major surgery on a brain tumor. The Harrisons were no strangers to the challenges owning a blind cat might pose. They believed their family could provide the stable, understanding environment the pair needed, and also that this duo could bring something
special to their family. The adoption of Lexi and Zoe soon circulated throughout the shelter, and eventually WISC Channel 3 did a follow-up story on the adopters as well as their new family members.
“I just needed, kind of, a role model,” said John during an interview with Channel 3, “because it’s hard being blind, but it’s not the end of the world, as this cat (Lexi) can show you.” In no time at all, the kittens were totally at home with their new family, with Lexi climbing stairs and flying around the house chasing toys. The confidence this little kitten exudes despite her handicap has been an inspiration to John. John, a senior at Watertown High School, plans to apply to the University of Wisconsin in both Madison and Whitewater to major in Political Science where he can, in turn, inspire others with disabilities. “John really wants to advocate for people with disabilities. And kittens with disabilities,” says Diane Harrison, John’s mother. It has been a long road to recovery for Lexi and Zoe, but through the support of this community, these two kittens went from ill and abandoned to being part of a loving family. Your donations allow these inspiring and life changing adoptions to happen. John’s road continues on as he once again starts treatment for his brain tumor. This time, however, he will have Lexi and Zoe right by his side. >> Written by Marissa DeGroot, Public Relations Coordinator >>Photos taken by Laura Klein and Jana Strobel Dane County Humane Society|giveshelter.org
