7 “O”utstanding! June 2009

Five PAWS Chicago homeless pups share the spotlight with Oprah Winfrey on the cover of June’s O Magazine, the first pet-themed issue for the nationally acclaimed publication. Amongst in-depth features on the special intangible people-pet bond, animal thoughts and intelligence, and the horrors of animal hoarding is a heartfelt editorial by Oprah entitled What I Know for Sure, where she chronicles falling in love with Sadie. From their first encounter during the photo shoot, when Oprah says, “She had licked my ear and whispered, ‘Please take me with you,’” to their first night at home when Sadie managed to con her way out of the crate and under the covers, readers get a sense of the wonders of newfound love. One week later, Oprah finds herself nursing Sadie through the dreaded parvovirus and coping with the possibility that she might be lost before her time, until finally, the happy homecoming and Sadie’s full recovery to a playful pup and unconditionally loving family member. Readers are treated to an emotional glimpse of love in its purest form. Oprah at PAWS Chicago for O Magazine photo shoot

The Oprah Store Partners with PAWS Chicago Lucky Dogs Newly adopted PAWS Chicago pooches are walking out in style. The Oprah Store is now generously donating an "O" leash, collar and bowl to every dog that is adopted from Sophie's Room at the PAWS Chicago Adoption & Humane Center. Angels With Tails West Loop The Oprah Store and PAWS Chicago are presenting an Angels with Tails adoption event in the West Loop on July 26th from noon to 4:00 p.m. Cats, dogs, kittens and puppies from ARFhouse Chicago, Bassett Buddies Rescue, Greater Chicago Cavalier Rescue, PuppyLove/LoveCats, New Beginnings Shih Tzu Rescue and Northern Illinois Presented by: Pug Rescue will be joining PAWS Chicago’s homeless pets, looking for homes at 20 stores along Fulton Market/Madison Street and Ada Street/Green Street.

The enzymes contained in these cleaners neutralize the enzymes in the cat’s urine. • Allow the area to thoroughly dry, then repeat. • Once the area is completely dry for the second time, apply a 1:3 solution of white vinegar and water (one part vinegar to three parts water). • Make sure to keep the cat away from the area being cleaned until all solutions have had a chance to completely dry.

If your cat doesn’t have enough room to climb into and Saving comfortably turn around in her litterbox, it’s not big enough— replace it with a roomier one. In homes with multiple cats, a Simba good rule of thumb is to provide one box per cat, plus one additional box, i.e., for two cats, you need three boxes.

The box is located inaccessibly, or, is placed too closely to the cat’s food and water dishes.

Keep the box or boxes accessible. As tempting as it ® 1 may be to place litterboxes in an out-of-the-way location, doing so does greatly increase the chances that your cat may decide to relieve themselves elsewhere. Keep the boxes centrally located, and if your home has multiple stories, be sure there are boxes on each level. Locate the boxes well away from the cat’s food and water 2 dishes. Cats don’t want to eat in close proximity to their litterboxes any more than you want to eat in your bathroom. The cat is avoiding the box because he or she is experiencing pain while in the box as a result of a medical issue.

See your vet. It's very common for cats who are sick to fail to use their litterbox, especially if the problem they are experiencing is a urinary tract infection. Only your vet can determine for certain if your kitty is sick, so check with your veterinarian right away to rule out any medical problems. The cat has developed a fear of the box, after having been ambushed or cornered there by another cat, a child, a dog, etc.

Alleviate the fear by ensuring that the cat has more than 1 one exit from the litterbox. Having an “escape route” may help him or her to feel more confident. To whatever extent possible, prevent the ambush. This 2 could mean separating your cats from one another, giving everyone a chance for a “time out”, or creating a “safe zone” around the litterbox vicinity by employing low gates to keep dogs or children away from the area. The points listed above, while some of the most common reasons for litterbox issues, are by no means a comprehensive list. Your veterinarian or local rescue organization can provide you with many additional ideas and resources. The most important thing to remember is that the majority of litterbox issues can be reversed. The key is taking action sooner rather than later, and having the patience to stick with a plan until the problem has been resolved.

Greta’s left hind leg, allowing it to heal before operating on her right side. After several successful surgeries and two foster homes, Greta came to stay with Jessica Hiltner, a PAWS Chicago volunteer caregiver since January. Jessica had experience fostering puppies, but it was her first time caring for an injured adult dog. It turned out, though, to be a perfect fit for both dog and woman – Jessica was at a place in her life where she wanted to put her energy into something positive. And Greta, with everything she’d been through, needed a little extra care and special attention that Jessica’s home could provide. Jessica brought Greta home on May 11 and recalls, “What was supposed to be 10 days, turned into five weeks!” At first, Greta was unresponsive, using only three legs. She had a hard time going up and down the three stairs in Jessica’s home without support, which might persist for her entire life. And she didn’t seem comfortable walking, much less navigating, the hardwood floors in her new foster home. Within a short time, Greta’s body and spirit began to mend. She started to respond to Jessica, wagging her tail and pushing her muzzle into Jessica’s arm to be rubbed. “I think that her spirit was a little broken until she found our home,” says Jessica. Today, Greta is no longer intimidated by the hardwood floors, eagerly making her way across them to awaken Jessica every morning. And only having had the stamina for three 10-minute walks per day when she first arrived, Greta now walks four times daily for up to 30-minutes. According Greta Von Barken (formerly Zelda), a six-year-old, to Jessica, “She’s become somewhat of a celebrity in the unspayed German Shepherd, was surrendered by her owner neighborhood. I can’t take her for a walk without someone to Animal Care and Control and subsequently transferred stopping me to ask about her.” to PAWS Chicago in September 2008.

The surgery necessary to treat Greta’s hip dysplasia, however, was more complicated than the PAWS Chicago Jessica officially adopted Greta on June 22, nine months medical staff typically performs. Greta needed the skills after she was first admitted to PAWS Chicago. “Greta has of a specialist with access to specific orthopedic surgical stolen the heart of my family.

SAVING OWEN Jennifer Molski’s story of pet loss and the healing joy of saving a life.

Dear PAWS Chicago, After losing our 15-year‑old blind and deaf cocker spaniel Ralphie in August of 2008, I repeatedly told friends and family I would never ever get another dog as Ralphie was the greatest. He was my hero, my wayshower, and my constant companion who taught me everything I know about hope, faith and unconditional love.

In November of 2008 while I was busy NOT looking for another dog, my Mom and I were out shopping in Lincoln Park and near PAWS Chicago on Clybourn. I had always wanted to see the new facility and figured this was as good of a time as any to stop in. After touring the lovely facility we ended up in the medical wing in the back and there he was. Owen! He had me at our first glance and I was so overwhelmingly taken by him. He looked a little mangy but oh so proud and just sat at his window with his droopy eyes just staring at me (I later learned that the staring was just because of his dry eyes!) I just couldn't leave him. My Mom tells me she went back to the car as she could see what was happening to me and this dog. I remember everyone who saw Owen would exclaim "Look at the puppy. His paws are so big he is going to be huge!" They had not yet read his information which indicated that Owen was 12 years old and had been given up by his owner. After reading about Owen's unfortunate story and how sad he must have been after losing his Dad he really had me. I learned that he had a somewhat serious medical condition called Addison's disease that made it difficult for his body to handle stress. I thought to myself that it might take some time for a senior dog in this condition to get adopted. I knew that my husband and I would be traveling the next month and we would not be able to take Owen right then. I had to say goodbye for now.

The next weekend just out of curiosity I stopped by PAWS. Owen was not there. I kept walking around the facility thinking that he would show up in another room. After a while I told myself that Owen must have been adopted and was so happy for him. It was bittersweet. While leaving PAWS Chicago I ran into the very nice volunteer who had helped us the weekend before and she informed me that Owen was in the hospital. His stomach "flipped" the previous week (this is the same condition that Marley died of in the movie Marley and Me). At this moment, I knew we had to help this dog. We had several conversations with the Foster Coordinator, who knew of our interest in Owen. She was great and even let us come visit Owen while he was under medical care on 26th Street.

Owen finally came home with us on December 19th and has filled our hearts with immeasurable amounts of joy! He is such a character and has so much personality! My husband Tony says that his favorite part about Owen is how much he makes me laugh. We do our‑3 mile very walks best toto spoilthe lake him several rotten and I must say we are doing a pretty good job. We take Owen for 2 times per week which he seems to love. We work in a warehouse out on the southside and Owen gets to come to work with us during the week and enjoys running around. His medical condition has seemingly stabilized and he acts much younger than his 12 years.

I never thought that my heart would repair itself after losing Ralphie but my heart has actually come back stronger and expanded in many ways and I owe this life lesson all to Owen. We are so blessed and so grateful.

Thank you PAWS Chicago and thank you Owen! Sincerely, Jennifer Molski

Over 250 volunteers joined forces at the First Annual PAWS Chicago 36-Hour Adopt-A-Thon, demonstrating the life-saving difference one weekend can make. The event took place around the clock from 10 a.m. on Friday, December 6th to 10 p.m. on Sunday, December 8th at the Adoption & Humane Center, and showcased over 200 homeless dogs, cats, puppies and kittens, 130 of which found loving homes just in time for the holidays.

This event was only possible because of the many families who opened their homes before the event, providing foster care to 100 kittens, puppies and dogs. Fostering not only helped socialize these lucky pets, preparing them for adoption and boosting their confidence, but it plays an essential role in freeing up space at the Admissions & Recovery Center, enabling PAWS Chicago to take in even more animals and prepare them for adoption.
