Rescuing Animals

large animal community in emergency situations,” Beardsley said. Over the years, the course has attracted people from all over the U.S. ranging from veterinarians, sheriff’s deputies, fire department employees, to forest service workers and large animal owners. Beardsley works with horses during fire season for the U.S. Forest Service, packing in equipment and supplies for firefighters who work on the frontlines and can’t be reached by motor vehicle. She said that during the height of an emergency—like the fires in Oregon—it’s common for some chaos to ensue, and even inexperienced people to try to do whatever they can to help. “But I want to see organizations work together and invest in their own education,” Beardsley said. “It’s not cool for people to self-deploy on a rescue. It puts everyone in danger.” She said she plans to offer the next large animal rescue class in January or February.

Because the majority of evacuees lost their homes in the fires, PET volunteers searched for farms throughout Central Oregon willing to offer foster care or adoption. “There was a period of 48 hours there where my phone was ringing every two minutes,” Sheerer said. She spent most of her waking hours at the fairgrounds or on the phone for nine days. The group also coordinated with veterinarians from Riverside Animal Hospital who volunteered to set up a pet hospital at the fairgrounds. “We had many injured animals: A rooster with burns on their feet, some geese with burns on their neck,” Sheerer said. “Many were dehydrated and exhausted. We provided a safe haven for them.” PET is recognized as a model for animal rescue and emergency preparedness throughout the rest of the state, Sheerer said. “I don’t think the average pet owner in Bend, Oregon, is prepared,” Sheerer said. “We want you to have a crate for your dog… Copies of your vet records, two-week’s worth of food, and water from your house. Your pet might not drink ‘foreign’ water. If you arrive at an evacuation center with 80 or so people with dogs, you’ll be happy to have the crate with you. Also, have a picture of your dog fastened to the crate, or even better, a picture of you with your dog. And notify your neighbor where all of this is. Once a fire starts, the firefighters might not let you back into the area.” Sheerer said that out of 125 PET volunteers, around 40 are very active. Volunteers are required to participate in a three-day training. The most ambitious enroll in a Technical Large Animal Emergency Rescue course, offered in Central Oregon at least once a year by the organization Mustangs to the Rescue. MR is led by Kate Beardsley, who also volunteers with PET and worked as coordinator during the most recent fires. “I recommend that every community has at least one person who has taken this course, in order to expand awareness of how to interact with the

s the recent Oregon megafires ripped through the forests and towns east of the Santiam Pass and along the McKenzie River, some frantic evacuees barely escaped with their lives. Many were unprepared to leave immediately, awakened in the middle of the night by emergency response officials ordering them out. Some didn’t have time to prepare their animals for transport. After the worst of the fire danger passed, members from the group Cascades Livestock Rescue entered the burn zones west of the Cascades and left with all the domesticated animals it could find, delivering 83 cats, dogs, birds, sheep, horses, geese, pigs and ducks to the Deschutes County Fairground & Expo Center. That’s when Central Oregon’s Pet Evacuation Team stepped in. Vikki Sheerer—a retired postal worker— took over as the organization’s regional coordinator just a few months ago, managing 125 volunteers. PET was founded 20 years ago and established a relationship early on with Deschutes County Emergency Management, as well as a vast network of public and private organizations that collaborate in times of emergency, Sheerer said. Its reputation as a respected animal rescue group helped it solicit a wide range of donations during the recent fires—including dog food, crates and beds. Oregon Feed and Irrigation in Redmond helped support the animals at the fairgrounds with food, along with shavings and heat lamps for the stalls. As pets and livestock kept arriving in the days following the fires, PET was not only responsible for caring for these animals, but also connecting them with their owners. “We had tickets for people who said, ‘I left my horse behind,’” Sheerer said. “One woman from Vida… all she took was her dog. She thought all her animals had perished. But Cascade Livestock Rescue brought most of them out alive. Now we have to find temporary homes for them.”

Pandemic

Heather Downing-Barrier shared this photo of her husband, Nick, and their Saint Bernard mix, Arwen, in the Oregon Badlands Wilderness. Heather said Arwen braved a lot of health challenges this year, and showed the couple that "there's still happiness to be had with a daily walk, some good food in our bellies, and nightly cuddles.”

COVID-19 and the subsequent shutdowns that upended most people’s lives. For those experiencing certain medical or psychological diagnoses, a licensed mental health professional or other medical provider may prescribe them an Emotional Support Animal that can provide emotional support and comfort to their humans. But even for those with animals who are not deemed ESAs, research shows that human interactions with animals can lower the stress-related hormone, cortisol—a hormone experienced in significant supply for many people during the shutdowns and economic turmoil of the time. Another element of the pandemic is social isolation—which leads, inevitably, to many people feeling lonely. “After my husband of 40 years passed, I got my little Lulu,” Source reader Sherry Cupp described. “She gave me permission to be happy again. She saved me.” Pets help humans reduce their feelings of loneliness and help elevate people’s moods, says the National Institutes of Health. For Source reader Annie Cole, her Shih Tzu, Apollo, has offered her plenty of companionship during the pandemic. “Apollo has been my partner in crime!” she told us in a Facebook post. “Love him to pieces and so thankful I have him to snuggle up to at night.” The caretaking routines required for animals can also help people stay on track in managing their own health regimens, the NIH reported in 2018, citing a study done on teens with type 1 diabetes. In the study, the teens who cared for a fish twice per day were more disciplined about tracking their own

nimal shelters around the nation— including the Humane Society of Central Oregon—have reported higher adoption rates during the pandemic. With people being home more—and some having more time on their hands—the timing has been right to adopt that long-awaited furry friend. But good timing is not the only reason—nor the only benefit—to pet ownership during this wild pandemic year. As many people already know, living with a dog, cat or other pet has emotional benefits that may be helping us cope better with the fear, uncertainty and other emotions that come with living amid a global pandemic.

blood glucose levels than the teens who did not have a fish to care for. Jenny Sweeney, another reader, knows something about that. She described how her three dogies lie on the bed, waiting the two-and-a-half hours it takes her to go through home dialysis. And for those not already inclined to hit Bend’s trails or rivers on a regular basis, dogs, especially, can give us that built-in reminder to get out in nature. When we’re feeling stuck at home and cycling around our same old routines, pets can get us out of the house for a refreshing walk. As local Rebecca Sowards-Emmerd described of her two white Labrador Retrievers, “It is impossible to go a day without these two making me laugh out loud. Hiking buddies, camping buddies, snuggle buddies. Can’t imagine riding this out without them.” Fall 2020 | 5

The Nose Knows:

Working K-9s of Central Oregon Local canines work in drug detection, search and rescue, and wildlife crimes

Jenny Reindel

Buck

Hunter DCSO SAR K9 Hunter is a five-year-old German shepherd nationally certified in both land HRD (human remains detection) and live-area search. “While he is a happy, affectionate dog at home, Hunter is all work when on a mission,” said Reindel. Hunter is able to do scent-specific work, such as locating a person through a scent article in an area where other people are present. A deployed SAR K9 team will also have two “flankers,” in addition to the dog and handler.

Ladybug Ladybug is a seven-year-old Belgian Malinois narcotics K9 with the Bend PD. She was reassigned to Patrol Officer Robert Pennock, who took possession of her in December of 2018. “I’m a dog fan in general, and I got to work with her previous handler on my team—so that gave me a little more experience and exposure to the process and the way the dog works,” said Pennock. Typically, a handler works with the dog throughout the canine’s career. Ladybug is certified in Oregon, Washington, and California—which reflects her narcoticdetection reliability. “She is specific on three odors: methamphetamines, cocaine and heroin,” added Pennock. Though Ladybug’s job is to sniff out drugs, she and many of the other city and county K-9s serve dual roles as bridges between law enforcement and the public. “That connection to the community is important to the K-9 program, especially here in Bend, which is a very canine-friendly city,” added Pennock.

Hunter

Buck A few years ago, Oregon Wildlife Foundation Executive Director Tim Greseth was approached by ODFW and was asked if the Foundation would be interested in supporting a wildlife canine. “This hadn’t been done in Oregon yet, but was a proven tool in other states,” said Greseth. Eventually, OWF raised and granted OSP F&W over $26,000 to buy, train and provide support for Buck. “The reason the board and directors were so invested in the K9 program, is the need to address more aggressively wildlife crimes in the state of Oregon,” added Greseth.

OSP hopes to add two more dogs to the program in the future so there’s one K-9 assigned to each region. Three-year-old Labrador retriever Buck is the first and only Oregon State Patrol Fish & Wildlife Conservation K-9. Buck and his handler, Senior Trooper Josh Wolcott, are based in Springfield, but get deployed around the state, where Buck is trained to detect scents of various wildlife species, humans and firearms. “A dog is such a great asset to our program as we don’t have many troopers to cover a lot of miles in the state,” said Wolcott. “Buck’s nose is instrumental in helping find people or tracking a human scent connected to a wildlife crime,” said Wolcott. In addition to his great nose, Buck’s temperament makes him an ideal ambassador to educate children and adults about poaching. “I think the record is 16 kindergarteners stuck to him,” added Wolcott.

Or eg

ogs have been taking a bite out of crime (sorry, couldn’t resist) for over 120 years. First used in Belgium around 1899, dogs have assisted law enforcement in activities such as apprehension, tracking, drug detection, evidence collection, search-and-rescue, poachin, and even arson, to name a few. Highly trained teams of dogs and their handlers work together, communicating though verbal and nonverbal alerts. “We need to be able to read each other, and most importantly, we need to trust each other,” said Jenny Reindel, team coordinator for the Deschutes County Search and Rescue K-9 team and owner of SAR dog, Hunter. “You will hear handlers everywhere saying, ‘Trust your dog’'.” Here are three of the working K-9s patrolling the streets and wildlands of Central Oregon.

“Flankers are field support members who train with the K9 team regularly, are specially trained to help with navigation, communication and safety, so that the handler can focus primarily on watching, and caring for the dog,” explained Reindel. Former team coordinator Carol Sanner had developed a decision matrix for SAR mission management to refer to when determining which missions lent themselves for dogs to be deployed. “Each mission is unique,” said Sanner. “There’s no cookbook method.” A significant amount of time, energy, and funding is invested in the K-9 and SAR dog teams (donations are greatly appreciated!). Handlers and dogs continually train to maintain skills and certifications. A well-trained dog’s ability to quickly locate evidence or lost people by scent is significant in terms of personnel hours or immediacy. “It’s pretty awesome to watch these dogs and see nature defeat technology,” said Officer Pennock.

Are Essential Oils

Safe for Pets? Diluted essential oils can help with pets’ emotional issues, as well as preventing some airborne illness, local holistic veterinarian says

By Laurel Brauns

ssential oils have been used for centuries to help people with physical and emotional ailments. The uplifting scent of citrus may bring to mind sunny summer days even in the darkest months of winter. As many pet owners have grown to love and depend on the healing effects of essential oils for themselves, many have wondered if the oils would also benefit their pets. Over the last decade, interest in oils and other herbal remedies surged as Americans sought out alternatives to pharmaceuticals and costly visits to the hospital. Revenue from essential oils alone spiked 40% between 2014 and 2018 in the U.S., according to The Washington Post, and it’s expected to reach $5 billion in the next three years.

As big-name, multi-level marketing essential oil companies like DoTerra and Young Living raked in revenues, they poured some of these profits toward scientific research, much focused on essential oils’ healing benefits for people. A few holistic veterinarians have carved out a name for themselves by formulating and diluting their own essential oils blends for pets. In Central Oregon, while some conventional veterinarians and doctors may warn against using essential oils with pets, local vets who market their services as “holistic” often use oils alongside other remedies like herbs and acupuncture. Dr. Leslie McIntyre of Sage Veterinary Alternatives began her practice in Bend in the 1990s. Today, she’s fully booked with a waiting list. She told Central Oregon Pets that essential oils may be especially helpful for a pet’s behavioral conditions like aggression, anxiety and fear. She works directly with the company AnímálEO— created by a holistic veterinarian who once sold oils for Young Living, but eventually became an expert in formulating oil blends for pets. “I work with AnímálEO because of the fact that there can be some level of toxicity with oils for animals,” McIntyre said. “We have to be a lot more cautious with pets… mainly because as people, we don’t normally lick our skin! But animals groom themselves with their tongues all the time. Cats are especially sensitive to oils.” McIntyre said 99% of oils should not be ingested by animals. For people who like to have a diffuser running in their homes, she recommends only having it on for an hour at a time when pets are nearby. “For dogs, having a diffuser on all day would be really overwhelming,” McIntryre said. “It would be like us having a hamburger under our noses all day long. At first, it’s great, but then it would be

too much. Dogs have olfactory senses that are so much keener than ours. If you are using a diffuser therapeutically to help calm them down, you only need it on a few hours throughout the day.” She also recommends never confining a pet in a small space with a diffuser, or placing a diffuser near their cage. McIntyre emphasized that the quality and sourcing of the oils is really important: Even if an oil is diffused in the air, it is still entering the body of humans and animals, she said. Unless an oil is marked specifically as “ready to use” for animals, all oils should be diluted using at least 10 drops of carrier oil (organic fractionated coconut oil, for example) to one drop of essential oil. Some of the most common blends by AnímálEO that she uses include Calm-a-Mile, a blend of calming herbs, lavender and chamomile. For animals debilitated by age, she suggests the “Boost in a Bottle” blend for dogs and “Kitty Boost” for cats. AnímálEO also makes an ingestible blend for arthritis called “Any-Itis” (a very rare example of an ingestible oil), as well as “New Mobility” for musculoskeletal issues. Overall, most of McIntyre’s clients use oils in a diffuser for respiratory, antiviral and behavior issues. Some may use Young Living’s “Thieves” or DoTerra’s “On Guard” in diffusers with their animals before traveling when they may be exposed to viruses and bacteria. For those wanting to learn more about safely using their own oils with their pets, McIntyre recommends the book, “Animal Desk Reference: Essential Oils for Animals,” by the holistic veterinarian Dr. Melissa Shelton, founder of AnímálEO. McIntyre also recommended locals visit Bernadette Hartman, a veterinarian and intuitive animal healer who has office hours in Bend and offers one-on-one sessions with people and their pets.

Local pet psychic communicates with everything from cats and dogs to fish and frogs By Cayla Clark

intuitive I became,” she explained. “After a while, I was able to communicate with people’s loved ones who had passed. I eventually got tired of dealing with insurance companies and sticking needles in people. I always loved people, but when I heard about animal communication I started to investigate. Soon, any animal that I could find, I would practice on.” In 2016 Pivcevich launched Tune Into Animals, her pet communication practice, in Bend. “I do my work over the phone,” she said. “People send me a photo of their pet ahead of time. Having the owner on the phone allows me to connect to the pet intuitively. Typically the owner is calling with a specific issue, like an emotional issue, or maybe the pet isn’t feeling well and they’re trying to find out why. ‘Why is my cat crying all night?’ ‘Why is my dog feeling listless?’ A lot of the time, the dog will have a long list of things they want to change. They’ll say, ‘Hey, tell my owner to grab a pen and paper.’ The dog will want its human to bring home flowers… a lot of the time the requests are strange and random things you wouldn’t expect.” Pivcevich explained that she worked most commonly with cats and dogs, but had also communicated with everything from guinea pigs and roosters to horses and fish. “Anything that’s living that has energy, you can connect with,” she said. “I once communicated with a cat that had been adopted as a kitten after being found crying in a tree in a snowstorm in Eastern Oregon. The cat was up all night meowing, and the owners wanted to know what he was trying to tell them. He had a traumatic past; we did some energy work to clear out some of that trauma. Two weeks later he had completely stopped crying. “I spoke with a dog who was feeling under the weather; he was about 10 years old and his owner was worried that he was going to pass.

te s

hen you meet someone new and ask them what they do for a living, you might expect to hear a response like, “I’m in advertising,” or, “I’m a teacher.” If the person responds, “I communicate with animals,” you might assume this new acquaintance is more than slightly off their rocker. After speaking with Pet Communicator Carey Pivcevich for just a few minutes, however, I began to believe that she was both completely sane and telling the full truth. Pivcevich has been speaking with animals for over four years, helping numerous distressed and concerned pet owners gain insight into the workings of their furry—or scaly, or slithery, or feathered—friends’ minds. “I was an acupuncturist in Portland, and the more I worked with people’s energy, the more

This was right around the start of the COVID quarantine, and the dog had also sustained a leg injury. He told me, ‘Oh no, I’m just bored and depressed. I want to travel. I want to see new places, and I want my owners to have a party.’ He was just depressed like we all were while sheltering in place. His owners had some people over and took him to some new places and he was his old self in no time.” The ending of the story was not quite as happy for Blueberry, a Beta Fish that Pivcevich spoke with recently. “His owner had left his fishbowl in the sun on a hot day,” she explained. “He wasn’t doing well at all and his owner figured he was going to pass. He let me know that he didn’t want to die next to a red wall, he wanted to be by something brown and green. His owner moved his bowl next to something brown and green and he did pass. A lot of people call wanting to know if their animal is ready to pass. Those calls are emotional.” Pivcevich explained that some animals communicated with words or feelings, and others, like a guinea pig for example, communicated with vivid images. “This guinea pig was really shy,” she said. “Her owner wanted to know what she could do. The guinea pig kept showing me pictures of looming figures; she really just wanted the owner to get onto her level. So she got onto her level and the guinea pig opened right up.” Fall 2020 | 11
