PAWS Chicago (Pets Are Worth Saving) is the city’s largest No Kill humane organization, focused on alleviating Chicago’s tragic pet homelessness problem. Since PAWS Chicago’s founding, the number of homeless pets killed in the city has been reduced by more than half – �from 42,561 pets killed in 1997 to 19,701 in 2006. PAWS Chicago envisions a No Kill Chicago and that dream is within reach because of important lifesaving work that is being done every single day.

How could any of these seemingly harmless You can save your dog’s life by being prepared. activities kill your beloved pet? Heatstroke. Heatstroke is a dangerous, deadly, and all too frequent summer ailment that strikes dogs despite the most conscientious owner’s best intentions. Armed with the facts and a little planning, heatstroke is one epidemic that can be easily avoided. A dog’s body temperature is normally between 101°F and 102°F. All it takes is a 3-degree rise in Rover’s temperature and he is suddenly in danger of overheating. When his temperature reaches 108°F his heart, brain, kidneys, liver and intestinal tract begin to rapidly break down. His life depends on his caregiver’s acute awareness of the symptoms— some obvious, some subtle. Below are the most important symptoms to look for when enjoying activities with a pet in warm weather. Watch Rover carefully for changes in his normal behavior and act quickly if he displays one or many of these symptoms: DANGER SIGNS • Rapid frantic breathing • Resistance to walk or move • Very red tongue • Vomiting • Dry mouth and nose • Diarrhea • Dull grayish pink gums • Physical collapse or extremely red gums • Failing to respond • Staring without seeing to commands • Extra wide open eyes • Muscle weakness • Thick saliva

And while leaders are causing dog and cat deaths many of these organizations became very large and influential, they also became bureaucratic, with none of the zeal for reform that characterized the movement’s early founders. A critic of this shift, Ed Duvin, summarized it accurately: Historically, SPCAs made the tragic mistake of moving from compassionate oversight of animal control agencies to operating the majority of kill shelters. The consequences in terms of resource allocation and sacrificing a coherent moral foundation have been devastating. Put more bluntly, when the ASPCA took over the pound contract in New York City following Henry Bergh’s death, it began a century of squander- ing not only his life work, but more significantly the ASPCA’s vast potential. Bergh’s ideal of a humane agency founded to save the lives of animals was replaced with shelters across the country whose primary purpose was—and unfortunately in some places, still is—killing animals, whether or not they are suffering. For far too many years, shelters across the U.S. have routinely killed

Share Your Love for Pets Without the Commitment

With the surge in adoptions at PAWS Chicago’s new Lincoln Park Adoption & Humane Center, PAWS Chicago needs foster homes now more than ever. With more foster homes, PAWS Chicago will be able to save even more homeless dogs, cats, puppies and kittens. Young kittens and puppies and dogs and cats in need of medical treatment often need a few weeks of TLC before they can be spayed/neutered, vacci- Jake nated, and adopted. At PAWS Chicago, these needy pets would occupy space at the Admissions Center for weeks—space that could be used to save many more homeless pets during that time if foster homes are available.

�� Chicago’s Finest Unsung Heroes in Major U.S. Dog-ﬁ ghting Bust by Alexis Fasseas

ews outlets across the nation were abuzz this past February when it was announced that NPima County Sheriff deputies and the FBI executed a major raid on one of the largest fi ght-dog operations in the United States, seizing at least 150 dogs and making three arrests of dog breeders suspected of links to organized dog-fi ghting operations across the nation. Not as well publicized, much of the information enabling the arrests originated in Burbank, Illinois and was collected and pursued by the Chicago Police Depart- ment’s Animal Crimes Unit. Mid-July last year, the Burbank Police Department stopped a vehicle carrying seven dogs on South Cicero Avenue. Without an animal expert on staff, Burbank reached out to Chicago’s Animal Crimes Unit. When James Conlan and Thomas Barker responded to the scene, they immediately recognized that further investigation was needed. They secured felony charges against the driver and passenger, Brian Baley and Tony Self, well-known and trusted couriers of specially bred dogs for the dog-fi ghting community, who were held without bond at the Cook County Jail. After skillful interrogations by the Cook County Sheriff’s police, Brian Degenhardt, and James Conlan at Cook County Jail, Used with permission from the Humane Society of Southern Arizona. it was evident that the Burbank PD has unwittingly uncovered a nation-wide dog traffi cking transportation system.

Regarded as one of the top three breeders of fighting dogs in the country, his dogs ranged in price from thousands to tens of thousands of dollars. All total, law enforcement recovered more than 150 dogs, $10,000 in cash, and 60 firearms, varying from revolvers to assault-type guns. Investigators also suspect ties to organized crime. THE VICTIMS At least 10 of the dogs required immediate medical attention for foot infections resulting from standing in their own waste and others showed signs of fighting, including scars on their faces, necks and front legs, signs of a poorly healed broken jaw, and missing teeth. One timid neutered male dog with substantial scarring licked investigators hands when they approached

new 76 layout.indd 45 5/13/08 7:05:06 PM On Friday November 16th, spectators lined the streets on East Lake Shore Drive as the city’s best dressed (and their owners) arrived at The Drake Hotel for the sixth annual PAWS Chicago Fur Ball. More than 700 guests and 150 canine companions sauntered down the red carpet, surrounded by media and “pup”arazzi. Guests sipped on elegant cocktails and meandered through four elegantly decorated ballrooms, feasting on the Drake’s renowned cuisine while their pups savored sweet pota- toes and chicken from crystal goblets. Throughout the evening, guests bid on a variety of silent auction items including vintage and designer jewelry, autographed mem- 1 orabilia, prime seating at some of Chicago’s most anticipated sporting events and a role on the hit show Bones. In need of a moment’s rest, many four-legged visitors relaxed in the tranquil dog spa where they were pampered with aromatherapy massage and gourmet goodies. The crowd gathered as the auctioneer took the stage and the bidding wars kicked off as elite getaways including New York City’s Fashion Week, Aspen, Switzerland and the Ca- ribbean hit the auction block. Lucky winners supported PAWS Chicago by purchasing the opportunity to meet ESPN’s “Mike and Mike 2 in the Morning” and a stunning pair of Van Cleef & Arpels Vintage Alhambra Earclips.

VANILLA SMITHBURG Forever in our Hearts

Vanilla Smithburg, a.k.a. “Little White Shadow”, touched many people’s hearts wherever she went – including many boyfriends who fell for her manners and beauty. Vanilla found her way into Maria and Bill Smithburg’s life when given to them as a wedding present. “I never had a dog before and I was more nervous about how to handle this 2lb bundle of joy than I was when my son was born!” Maria jokes. Vanilla pictured here with Having two dedicated PAWS her big brother Thomas. IN MEMORY OF EILEEN KOSINSKI Chicago Development Board members for parents, Vanilla was no stranger to PAWS parties and always had a blast. She also enjoyed traveling. If she saw an open suitcase, she jumped right in as if to say “Don’t forget about me”! Vanilla and Maria were inseparable. Vanilla became Maria’s “assistant” and accompanied her on all the landscaping jobs she went on, much to the delight of her clients. Vanilla may have come into the Smithburg’s life as a present, but she left as a daughter. She brought The Smithburg Family great happiness over the years and continues to live on inside their hearts. Vanilla is greatly missed by all who were lucky enough to know her.
