The joy and satisfaction of seeing “our kids” grow and thrive dims the memories of lost sleep, juggled schedules, and frequent worries that come hand-in-paw with caring for our most vulnerable critters. CDHS fosters have met that challenge head-on this year by caring for more than a third of the 65 kittens – most without mamas -- that have come through our doors since early summer. “I didn’t realize there was even such a thing as being foster parents for kittens until we heard about it through the shelter, and thought it would be kind of fun,” said CDHS foster volunteer Karrie Bauman. Bauman is caring for her first litter of orphan kittens with husband Scott, daughter Taya, and son JJ. Karrie and Taya – who also volunteer in the cat building – began their foster experience with eyes wide open. They knew there would be plenty of work to go along with the fun of having kittens in the house. “The first week was the hardest, when they were just on formula,” Karrie said. “If you just go into it knowing each stage is a short stage, you think ‘I can get through this.’” The tiniest orphans need to be bottle fed every two hours and stimulated to go potty (something their mothers would normally do). The feeding schedule becomes more forgiving as Elizabeth Green helps her mom and sister, Anne and Margy Green, by the babies get older and, at about four weeks, introduction to bottle-feeding current foster kitten, Remi. solid food means back to getting a full night’s sleep. “It’s so much fun, so satisfying, to watch those little tiny “The first few weeks, when the kittens were littler, there was babies thrive,” said Anne Green, a CDHS board member and more laundry and cleaning and keeping things sanitary,” said long-time foster volunteer along with her daughters, Margy Angela Pittman, who, with husband Dale, and her family has and Elizabeth. “[The first litter] was a lot more work than I fostered twice so far this year and is “on deck” in case they’re thought it would be. I think maternally it just kicks in – ‘Why needed again. “We definitely had to keep litter in stock and are you crying? What do you need? Have you pooped? Have you change it a lot.” tinkled?’ You just want to do the very best that you can in the The so-called “normal” workload of raising orphan animals absence of mom.” gets kicked up a notch when the babies arrive at CDHS in As moms and dads everywhere know, where there are kids less-than-healthy condition.

Sixty years? when adopters leave Ten years go by and it seems like it was just a year or two. with a new family It’s scary but still exciting. Exciting because it warms my heart member and we know to look back and see all the thousands of cats and dogs that in our hearts that dog or cat we have grown to love will have have come through our doors and have found safe haven before their homeless days behind them forever. moving on to their forever homes. I was not privileged to meet most of the brave souls who To be a part of this organization and play whatever small got together over coffee in Bismarck almost 60 years ago part I can is a dream come true. It’s not all butterflies and roses, and founded the League for Animal Welfare, our first official believe me. Moments spent on a grassy knoll in the warm sun name. The present day-to-day keeps us so occupied that under a pile of squirmy, happy and fat puppies are few and far we sometimes forget the broad shoulders we stand upon between. It’s more like walking into Grand Central Station every today. And so, it’s good to look back and acknowledge our morning and no one seems to be in charge of the arrival and founders, and hope that for those of them who have passed departure times. Forty-plus dogs barking at once, all happy to on, they are looking down on us with approval of all we have see you, but each one wanting outside NOW and each one ready accomplished for pets and people. for breakfast NOW and each one craving one on one time, NOW.

The community never lets us down and brings gently used items for two months prior to the sale. There are so many treasures and useful items, and we feel particularly happy about recycling these items for others to use and enjoy. We are once again so thankful to be a part of the United Way Day of Caring, which provides volunteers for our setup of this massive sale. We simply could not do it without them! At the end of the sale, we usually find many fine items left and no place to take them. Thrift stores are full and we certainly don’t want to dispose of these perfectly good items. This year, we tried something different and invited the community to come at the end of the sale for free items. It was a huge success as many people found things they were able to use. Just another way that CDHS is helping pets AND people! 

Doing great things for pets and people. 13 Focus On All Fours SHAGGYAs we said on our Facebook SHUFFLE post, we refuse to 2019 cry over spilled raindrops. On the day of Shaggy Shuffle there were MANY raindrops. A complete gully washer, you could say. We went on with our day and tried to make the best of it. Thank you to all who participated, all who registered and stayed home (yep, you were smartly warm and dry), and all who registered after the fact to help us make up for the lost funds from this event. Also, a huge thank you to our sponsors and vendors who turned out despite the weather and hopefully had a good time anyway – Mobile Paw Spa, Kroll’s Diner, MIDCO, Jen Smith with Color Street Nodak Nails, Dakota Sound Systems, and Meteorologist Emilie Hillman. We so appreciate everyone’s ongoing support. You help save pets’ lives through your involvement and donations. Rain or shine – YOU make our world go round! 

www.cdhs.net ARE YOU TOUGH ENOUGH TO ‘FOSPICE?’ By Annette Tait, CDHS Foster Program Coordinator Our beautiful girl, Ava, has been diagnosed with “The Big C” – cancer. We love her to pieces and believe she deserves to live her best life in her last days. No matter how much we love her, we can’t give her what she needs most – to spend her remaining days in a loving home. Ava is a sweet girl who loves people. She needs an experienced handler in an adults- only home, with a fenced yard and no other pets. She is good about taking her twice daily medications, given the right incentive (preferably meatballs or liverwurst). Veterinary appointments are likely as her condition progresses. Is your heart big enough – and tough enough – to take this girl into your home, knowing she will need extra care and leave you all too soon? If you think you’ve got what it takes, or want to learn more, call CDHS at 701-667-2020 or stop by and fill out a foster Ava care application. Do it for Ava. 
