Congratulations To Montgomery County Animal Services And Adoption Center On Your New Facility

February 2014

From MCPAW Chairman

Allan Cohen

Dear Friends: On March 1, 2014 Montgomery County will truly embark on a new era for animals as we officially open the new Animal Services and Adoption Center (ASAC). I am delighted that MCPAW, as a 501(c)3 nonprofit County partner, played an integral role in making this happen.

The new facility will have dedicated animal care professionals hired by the County to oversee care of the animals, as well as programs and services.

Under the leadership of County Executive Ike Leggett and with the support of the County Council, Montgomery County has taken over the operation of the ASAC. Under the direction of Mary Healey, the new Animal Services Director, best practices in animal care and exemplary customer service will be top priorities.

We truly want to make this facility a community center for pet lovers; a place where residents always feel welcome, where every animal receives attention and care and where pets receive a second chance for a loving, forever home.

I want to thank the MCPAW Board of directors, the County advisors, and all who have supported MCPAW. Without assistance and support, MCPAW's efforts to date would not have been successful. But make no mistake; we have immense challenges ahead.

MCPAW is committed to working with animal rescue groups and the veterinary community in Montgomery County. We recognize that making a difference will require effective partnerships and close collaboration with the extended animal community.

In addition to enhancing programs at the new shelter, MCPAW has made critical commitments: to free spay/ neuter, to a pet food pantry, to ending animal cruelty and to educational programs that will promote better pet care. These goals will only be accomplished through effective partnerships and financial support from the community.

MCPAW invites you to visit our website, www.mcpaw. org and most importantly, to become involved.

Special MCPAW Thank You MCPAW would like to extend a special thank you to the following for their invaluable assistance.

Sean Coleman, David Dise, Colleen Fishter, Jennifer Hughes, Tom Hyatt and SNR Denton, Lisa Mandel-Trupp, Joy Nurmi, John Wesson DVM February 2014

From Montgomery County Executive

Isiah Leggett

There are many heartwarming stories about animals demonstrating their devotion to humans, but Montgomery County will soon celebrate and demonstrate its respect and devotion to animals in its care.

The original Animal Shelter was built nearly 40 years ago in 1975. It could no longer provide the appropriate care for homelessorlostpets,normeettheneedsofourAnimalServices es Division.OurAnimalServicesofficershavethevitallyimportantjob tjob of investigating animal abuse and tending to injured and lost pets.

In just the last year, the Animal Services Division received 12,500 calls for service; the shelter staff handled 7,671 domestic and wild animals; 979 lost pets were reunited with their owners and 2765 animals were adopted and found forever homes.

This month, the County opens a new state-of-the art Animal Services and Adoption Center on Muncaster Mill Road in Derwood. Please join us to celebrate the opening of this new facility at the official ribbon-cutting ceremony on March 1, 2014.

We are grateful for the strong support and commitment from Montgomery County Partners for Animal Well-Being (MCPAW) and all the many partners who worked diligently with the county and provided invaluable resources to assist in making our animal shelter possible.

I hope that you will open your heart and give a dog, cat, or other animal a forever home, or volunteer at the Center. I thank you for whatever you can do.

Gandhi once said, “The greatness of a nation can be judged by the way its animals are treated.” We intend to treat them very well.

From County Council Public Safety Chair

Phil Andrews

Montgomery County cares about animal welfare. The new Montgomery County Animal Services and Adoption Center is a long- awaited improvement that will enable our County to better protect animals and the public. The Center will replace the dilapidated, outdated, and outgrown facility in Rockville that has been the home to the Animal Services Division within the Police Department, as well as those animals in need of shelter. As Chair of the Public Safety Committee for the County Council for the past 14 years, I have worked with the County Executive, the Department of Police, and the Department of General Services to ensure that this new Center is built to meet the needs of our animal population both now and long into the future.

This important facility will be home to the many services provided by the Animal Services Division including isolation, quarantine, and the holding of animals. In addition to these functions, the Center will be a community building where animals can be adopted and can receive medical care. There will also be educational resources available for the community to help our residents learn how to properly care for their pets. Volunteers will be an integral part of the everyday functioning of the new Animal Services Center. There will be many volunteer opportunities, including walking the dogs on the walking trail, socializing with the animals, and helping out in various other ways.

A special thank you to mcpaw (Montgomery County Partners for Animal Well-being). This group of extraordinary volunteers has worked tirelessly for more than 4 years in order to raise funds to add special components to the Center. Contributions include funds for the spay and neuter clinic, special children’s activities and a play room for people to get to know their new pet. Thanks to everyone who has been part of this project!

From Montgomery County Police Chief

J. Thomas Manger

The Montgomery County Police Animal Services Division (ASD) officially became a division of the MCPD in February of 1996. Now, 18 years later, the department is proud to be able to expand our animal-related services and education with the opening of a brandnew Montgomery County Animal Services and Adoption Center.

Just some of the duties of the ASD include: responding to and investigating calls for service for animals-at-large, cruelty and neglect, nuisance/noise complaints, injured wildlife and aggressive/dangerous animals.

The division investigates annually over 1,000 animal bites and conducts annual rabiesvaccination clinics. It also provides the licensing and inspection of such animal-related businesses as pet shops and commercial kennels.

As we move forward into a new era of increased animal services, I gratefully acknowledge the Montgomery County Humane Society for the good work they have done over the past years. I have complete faith in the new leadership and expertise of our ASD Director Mary Healey and the combined former and new staff members.

Such an exceptional facility would not have been possible without the support of the County Executive, the County Council, Assistant Chief Betsy Davis, former ASD Director Captain Michael Wahl, the entire ASD staff and Animal-Sheltering Consultant Renee Harris. I commend the supportive work of Montgomery County Partners for Animal Well-Being (MCPAW). Without everyone’s help, our long-envisioned goals could not have become a reality.

From Montgomery County Animal Services Division Director

Mary Healey

As the Director of the Montgomery County Police – Animal Services Division, I manage the daily operations of the division with the police department and oversee the new, state-of-the-art Montgomery County Animal Services and Adoption Center.

I am thrilled to be part of the Montgomery County Animal Services Division. With the opening of the new Animal Services and Adoption Center, we have before us a great opportunity to better serve the people and animals of Montgomery County and to become a recognized leader in humane governance and animal care. I know our Montgomery County team will make it happen!

Our immediate priorities are to ensure the proper care and treatment of animals coming into the new Center and to offer exceptional customer service to everyone who calls or visits our Center. This will be a location where all of our animals are safe and feel comfort. Our goal will be to place animals in the best forever homes and increase programs to enable us to become a community resource for animal owners in Montgomery County.

We will increase our pet licensing program, which will provide for lost animals to find a way home. We’ll provide a progressive field service program through education of animal owners and humane law enforcement. The challenges of animal overpopulation in our community will also be proactively addressed.

It is our time to make a difference in Montgomery County. Every citizen is important to us and every animal matters to us at the Montgomery County Animal Services and Adoption Center.

ABOUT US l Leave

MCPAW is an all-volunteer, registered 501(c)3 charitable, nonprofit organization working in a public/private partnership with Montgomery County to enhance and maintain the new state-of-the-art Montgomery County Animal Services and Adoption Center (ASAC).

Via this innovative public/private partnership, MCPAW is helping to create a facility to house and care for the county’s homeless and stray animals while they await new homes or are reunited with their owners. Dogs, cats, guinea pigs, bunnies, ferrets, reptiles, fish, birds, and even farm animals will all find the second chances they so desperately need.

Our Vision, Our Commitment l Free

Spay/Neuter

MCPAW has made a bold commitment to provide free spay/neuter services to every pet in Montgomery County.

This goal and vision is critical to decreasing the numbers of unwanted animals. MCPAW will work diligently to raise the necessary funds to meet this goal. Please help us toward this lofty but attainable goal.

l Ending

Animal Cruelty, Abuse and Neglect

MCPAW is committed to helping stop animal cruelty, abuse and neglect. The MCPAW Animal Cruelty Reward program and our partnership with the Humane Society of the United States to offer rewards for reporting animal cruelty is just the first step MCPAW has taken to end animal abuse. Through education and by asking residents to ‘do the right thing’ and report cruelty abuse, neglect, MCPAW hopes to raise awareness and significantly reduce animal abuse.

l No

Pet to Go Hungry in Montgomery County

MCPAW is committed to ensuring no pet goes hungry in Montgomery County. We are in the planning stages of creating a Pet Food Pantry program that will provide free pet food to residents of Montgomery County in need.

MCPAW is pleased to partner with Montgomery County and the Montgomery County Police Department’s Animal Services Division to assist animals in need and to augment services and programs for the benefit of animals and residents in Montgomery County.

We are in the process of surveying possible partnerships with food banks, existing pet food programs and we are assessing geographic needs. A MCPAW Pet Food Pantry Program will be announced in the near future, but we need help and support to ensure we can meet this goal. l Education

Training on proper care and treatment of animals is another priority for MCPAW. Education of all ages, but especially of children, is the beginning of the end of animal cruelty and one of the most viable means to promote proper pet care. MCPAW’s hosting of the Veterinary/Pet Care Explorer Post and Club 7315 is our first educational program with others in the planning process.

You may be able to find your perfect match at the new Montgomery County Animal Services and Adoption Center.

shelter doubles the capacity for animals compared to the old shelter on Rothgeb Drive in Rockville.

David Dise, Director, Department of General Services of Montgomery County, provided additional details about the design and construction of the new shelter. “In delivering this much needed service to animals and adopting residents, the facility will employ energy efficient design elements such as an east-west axis to optimize daylighting that improves animal habitat and reduces heating/ cooling loads on the interior.

• An aviary

Other environmental design features include special storm water management features, such as permeable pavement and water runoff areas that blend with the landscaping. A vegetated roof is installed over the adoption areas, water efficient plumbing fixtures are throughout the building, as are energy efficient doors, windows and walls. The building chillers operate with magnetic bearings eliminating metal-to-metal contact, prolonging equipment life, improving efficiency and significantly reducing power consumption. Many building components are made from recycled and locally manufactured materials. The HVAC system is designed to provide twelve air changes per hour, which reduces the spread of odors and disease. Radiant floor heating provides added comfort for the animals.”

The new Montgomery County Animal Services and Adoption Center is a state- of-the-art facility with numerous features designed to create a comfortable, safe and welcoming environment for pets and people. The new February 2014

Special Features Here are just some of the special features of the new shelter: The first floor (over 30,000 sq ft) accommodates all animal care and housing areas and includes: • An on-site veterinary clinic • Indoor and outdoor classroom areas • Radiant floor heating in canine areas • A small-animal room • A reptile room • Showcases/playrooms for cats and dogs • HVAC systems provide twelve air changes per hour to help reduce odor and the spread of disease • Skylights and large windows increase daylight to most of the occupied spaces • Three public entrances: one for adoptions, one for other animal services, and one for after-hours educational activities

The seven-acre site offers: • A walking trail • Outdoor fenced exercise runs • A four-stall barn with chicken coops and fenced paddock The partial second floor is dedicated to office space and mechanical functions.

David Dise summed up the impact of the new shelter, “This facility will be one that will serve the County’s human and animal residents for many, many years to come.”

The new Center is located at: 7315 Muncaster Mill Road Derwood, MD 20855

The Center plans to use an innovative program called “Meet Your MatchTM” to facilitate the adoption process for dogs and cats. Meet Your MatchTM, a science-based program designed by the ASPCA, evaluates each shelter animal’s behavior and personality traits and matches them to an adopter’s preferences and lifestyle (sort of like “eHarmonyTM” for pets!) Potential adopters fill out a simple survey and based upon their answers, they are matched to one of three color categories. These colors correspond to colors on each shelter animal’s living quarters, making it easy for adopters to see which animals are best suited to their lifestyle.

he new Animal Services and Adoption Center is a unique building modeling intelligent, efficient and sustainable design. The layout accommodates operations of the County’s Animal Services’ staff that receives animals, provides comprehensive health care services in an in-house veterinary clinic and then offers animals in an adoption area where skylights and large windows allow daylight to enhance the rooms. Special areas are provided for education and training, as well as appealing areas where families, seeking to adopt, may meet and interact with their potential family additions.

In keeping with national trends in shelter best practices, adoption policies at the new Center will be designed to be more “user-friendly,” while still working to ensure successful and safe adoptions. Most adoptions will take place without requiring a home visit.

Many will even be able to bring their new friend home the same day.

Meet Your MatchTM has been shown to result in more successful adoptions, thereby reducing the number of animals returned to the shelter.

“The key to developing successful adoptions lies in making good matches between adopters and pets, thus creating lasting bonds,” says Dr. Emily Weiss, the ASPCA’s senior director of agency behavior programs and developer of Meet Your MatchTM. The staff of the Montgomery County Animal Services and Adoption Center is excited about the potential for more dogs and cats to find forever homes with the help of this program.

Highest Standards of Care,

or most animal lovers, there’s nothing better than curling up in the living room with a dog at your feet or a cat purring on your lap. There’s no sweeter sight than a cat batting a toy around or a dog happily gnawing on a bone. Now, shelter animals awaiting homes will have their beds, bones, and living room at the Montgomery County Animal Services and Adoption Center. The staff at the brand new facility aims to meet the highest standards of care for shelter animals with behavioral enrichment and positive reinforcement training.

lets for natural behaviors, social interaction, and physical exercise, combined with scheduled periods of rest and quiet time. The Center’s staff and volunteers will implement this new philosophy to improve the daily lives of all animals in their care. Like people, animals can also become anxious, aggressive or depressed without outlets for their natural behavior. Daily enrichment not only makes shelter animals happier but also more adoptable.

Enrichment focuses on improving the quality of life for animals and on “strengthening the human-animal bond,” which is, in fact, part of the new Center’s mission statement. Care at the Center will include both mental and physical stimulation in the shelter residents’ daily routines.

Behavioral enrichment will provide the animals with out-

cats to be more interactive to teaching rabbits to come when called. In a shelter environment where dogs often become easily stressed and over-stimulated, clicker trainers can give treats and attention to dogs that are quiet and calm, reinforcing and encouraging those behaviors. Clicker training also unites the animal and human, according to Kathy Sdao, associate Certified Applied Animal Behaviorist, author, and animal trainer. “There are two sides to the click: what happens before and what happens after,” she says. “What happens immediately before the click is a behavior the trainer would like to strengthen. What happens after is an event the animal would like to strengthen, such as receiving food. The click unites the two desires.”

Enrichment and Best Practices at ASAC

The plan to create an enriching environment at the Center not only improves animals’ mental wellbeing, but it could have a great impact on physical health.

RESCUE: RES

The N New Designer Breed

The Center staff has numerous ideas for further enriching the daily lives ves of the animals in their care. As humans, we experience our world primarmarily through sight, but dogs “see” with their noses far more than we can comprehend. So the Center staff and volunteers plan to implement “noseosework”, a game for dogs where they search and identify different scents.

Because dogs are natural foragers for food, hollow toys filled with peanut butter or cheese will also be used to provide mental stimulation.

It’s finally final happening. Millions of Americans are beginning tto realize what wonderful pets are available at shelters shelte and rescue groups. Yes, purebreds are available at these facilities, but it’s wonderful to see how many ma people are beginning to understand, appreciate and value the mixed breed.

atural beFor cats, scratching and stretching their paws are important natural haviors. Therefore, cat enrichment will include creating activity boxes with scratching posts and hanging toys.

Rescue Re animals are special…very special. In fact there are ar several animal behavioral experts who assert that re rescue animals have a heightened sense of appreciation for being adopted, loved and becoming a valued pa part of a family. Whether this is true or simply theory, there is no denying that a rescued pet can bring untold happiness, joy and love to one’s life.

Rabbits, mice and gerbils, like all mammals, are social creaturess that require interaction and exercise for mental health, so they will be given equipment uipment (such ell. as tunnels and toys) and opportunities for daily enrichment as well.

PET SHOWCASE DESIGN CHALLENGE Benefits Shelter Animals

Members of the community will be leaving their creative mark on the new Montgomery County Animal Services and Adoption Center (MCASAC) by being a part of MCPAW’s Pet Showcase Design Challenge.

MCPAW created this contest to promote the new facility, as well as encourage adoptions and provide enjoyment and comfort to the shelter animals. Fifteen teams committed to making these rooms warm and wonderful for dogs and cats up for adoption.

Each team submitted a design concept and from there, one finalist was chosen for each of the showcases. Those selected now get to make their concepts a reality. Dogs will enjoy themes of a Sports Cave, Nursery, Glam/Diva Dog, and Dr. Seuss. Felines will explore a Home-Sweet-Home theme, as well as Jungle Safari, Nature, Shoe Boutique and Breakfast at Tiffany’s.

MCPAW’S PURPLE CARE A Senior-to-Senior Program

Made possible by the Leonard and Hilda Kaplan Charitable Foundation.

l FACT:

Senior citizens often face economic barriers that either force them to give up a beloved cat or prevent them from adopting a cat.

l FACT: Senior cats in shelters often have longer waits to

find new forever homes.

l FACT: Sharing life with a pet can improve quality of life

by affording companionship and love.

A new innovative program created by MCPAW and funded by the Kaplan Foundation: Purple Care.

Purple Care will allow many senior citizens in Montgomery County to keep their beloved pet or to adopt a senior cat from the Montgomery County Animal Services and Adoption Center and have the cat food, veterinary care and adoption fees paid through Purple Care.

This senior-to-senior program, by covering pet expens-

MCPAW will place purple ribbons on the cat condos of the eligible cats age 6 or older at the Montgomery County Animal Services and Adoption Center. Residents of Montgomery County age 65 and older are eligible for the program. Purple Care will be marketed to the senior community in Montgomery County to encourage adoptions of Purple Care-eligible cats that make great companions.

Details for the Purple Care program are available on MCPAW’s website, www.mcpaw.org.

This win-win, love-love program is funded by a grant from the Leonard and Hilda Kaplan Charitable Foundation.

SECOND CHANCE WILDLIFE CENTER

S

econd Chance Wildlife Center accepts injured, orphaned, ill and distressed wildlife — all species of wild birds, opossums, squirrels, rabbits, ground hogs, bats, and native reptiles and amphibians. The center does not have a permit to rehabilitate foxes, raccoons or deer. It is always advisable to call before bringing an animal to the Center. The Center charges no admission or other fees, but donations in support of its work are gratefully accepted.

Second Chance cares for about 3,500 ill, injured, and orphaned wild animals each year. Twenty percent of its patients are brought to the center by Montgomery County Animal Services officers and animal officers from other agencies in the County. Second Chance staff also frequently aid the animal shelter and its officers with advice and guidance on wildlife matters.

At Second Chance, animal patients are given comprehensive intake examinations, during which the nature and extent of their illnesses/injuries are assessed. Under the direction of a pro bono wildlife veterinarian, individual treatment plans are designed and administered, and

progress is monitored. The goal for each animal is to release it back to the wild once it is able to survive on its own.

For every animal admitted to the center, many more are aided through calls and emails to the center, through outreach events and programs, and in direct conversations with visitors to the center. Each day — and nearly constantly during the busy spring and summer months — center staff and volunteers respond to people’s requests for information on helping wild animals, counsel them on avoiding conflicts with wild animals in a humane manner, and help them understand the wildlife that share our communities.

For additional information on the Center, visit www.scwc.org.

Horses! Horses! Horses!

Approximately 10,000 Horses in Montgomery County

COMSTOCK/STOCKBYTE/THINKSTOCK

With approximately 10,000 horses, Montgomery County has one of the highest concentrations of horses per square mile of any county in the United States. Horses are a key component in the county’s agricultural economy and are an integral part of Montgomery County’s extended animal community. The new Animal Services and Adoption Center has a new livestock barn that can accommodate horses, if needed. (The barn will also provide temporary residence for chickens, pigs, goats and other livestock that are lost or up for adoption.)

With over 87 licensed stables, Montgomery County offers unrivaled opportunity to enjoy horses including trail riding, riding lessons, therapeutic riding, and a full array of equestrian competition. The Maryland Horse Industry Board invites you to discover all the horse related activities that are available in Montgomery County. For more information about where to ride or enjoy horses in Montgomery County, visit www.mda.maryland.gov/horseboard or call 410-841-5798 for a free copy of The Official Guide to Maryland’s Licensed Stables.

License, please.

T

he Animal Services Division is responsible for managing pet licensing in Montgomery County*.

Montgomery County law requires that all dogs and cats four months of age or older must have a current rabies vaccination and a County pett license. A pet license is required even n if the dog or cat remains exclusively on the owner’s property, resides exclusively indoors or lives on a farm.

If citizens fail to license their pets, they ey can be subject to significant fines. The rabies tag provided by a veterinarian is not the same thing as a County license — the license must be purchased separately.

Buying a license for your pet isn’t just the law – it can save your pet’s life. If your pet is lost, a license tag on your pet’s collar is the fastest way to contact you when your pet is found. If an Animal Services Officer is called to pick up a pet running loose and the animal is wearing its County-issued license tag, the officer can identify the animal and in some cases, may be able to quickly return your pet to your home rather than bringing it into the shelter. Last year, 979 lost pets were reunited with their owners.

How to Make a Difference for Animals

A

nimals can’t talk and they can’t defend themselves. Animals depend on us to protect them and to treat them humanely.

Sadly, in today’s world, that does not always happen. No matter how old you are, no matter how busy you are, you can make a difference for animals.

n Do the Right Thing: Report

Animal Cruelty, Abuse, Neglect We can make laws, regulations and institute fines to promote proper care and treatment of animals but these measures are only as strong as the people willing to do the right thing and report animal abuse, neglect and cruelty.

If you know of an animal that is not being cared for properly or being abused…do the right thing and report it.

Call 911: l If there is animal abuse or cruelty in progress

l If

there is an animal in immediate danger such as in a trap or a hot locked car

Call 301-279-8000: l If

you see a sick or injured animal or one that appears abandoned

l If you want to report an animal that is not

being cared for properly

l If

you see an animal in distress due to weather

l If

you see an animal without proper shelter or water

You can remain anonymous. …and you can make a difference.

n Be Educated

l Know

the laws designed to protect animals in Montgomery County.

n Adopt

If you are considering adding a four-legged member to your family, consider adopting.

There are wonderful animals in need of a loving home at the Montgomery County Animal Services and Adoption Center, as well as at other area shelters and rescue groups.

n Volunteer

Help MCPAW Feed Hungry Pets

DO YOUR PART:

SPAY OR NEUTER YOUR PET

When a person or family has an economic crisis, when a person goes on social security and must adjust to a fixed lower income, or when unexpected bills arrive, household pets can suffer. Sometimes pet food is suddenly not in the budget and the pet goes hungry.

And far too often, the pet is surrendered to a shelter causing emotional trauma to the family members, especially children.

Spay or neutering your pet can be the single best decision you make for his/her long-term welfare. Getting your pet spayed or neutered can:
