On March 23, PAWS Chicago helped with the rescue of more than one hundred puppy mill dogs. These dogs came from three Missouri puppy mills that have since been shut down. Sixteen of these sweet dogs and puppies, ranging in age from 10 weeks to eight years old, who were living and being bred in isolated, sub-standard conditions came to PAWS Chicago. While young puppies are typically adopted quickly, older pets often require more care before being ready for adoption. The vast majority of dogs who are sold in pet stores originate from puppy mills

Merle Saving Merle & Devyn From Puppy Mill to Pet Shop

Merle’s story represents the millions of dogs who are bred and are breeding in puppy mills, and serves as a reminder to choose adoption rather than buying from a pet store which enables the problem to persist. Merle is a very sweet eight-year-old German Shepherd who came to PAWS Chicago after being rescued from a Missouri puppy mill. Upon her arrival, she was suffering from signs of significant neglect, including severe wearing of her teeth from gnawing on her cage bars after years of confinement, extreme skin irritations, rough fur that fell out in some places, and masses on her mammary glands from significant over-breeding. PAWS Chicago has gotten this sweet girl back to health. She was spayed and underwent five hours of surgery to remove her masses and improve her dental health. After spending time in foster to heal and adjust to her new life of freedom, Merle has a loving demeanor and is now Devyn available for adoption into a new home.

This adorable puppy, Devyn, was rescued by PAWS Chicago from a Missouri puppy mill in March 2011. In a pet store, shoppers only see this too cute for words puppy. What they don’t see is that puppies like him are born at the expense of dogs like Merle.

This adorable boy was suffering from severe dental issues, including periodontal disease and missing teeth, a continually dislocating knee cap, and also required a major cleaning of his coat and ears, which were filthy. Because of his life in the puppy mill, Armani is extremely shy. His foster family is currently helping him learn how to trust and socialize with people and acclimate to a loving home environment. Once Armani has gained confidence, he will be available for adoption.

Spring 2011 11-25.indd 17 5/23/11 1:09:42 PM Remembering Traditional Shelter Survivor • No Kill Pioneer LosingRomeo a pet is like losing a part of yourself. Part of me departed on March 16, in the shape of a little tuft of orange and white fur. Despite all the tears and heartache and emptiness, the most perva- sive feeling is gratitude. I was blessed to share my home with the most social, affectionate, attuned and consoling kitty for the past 14 years.

I think back to when I first saw him, snuggled with his brother in a cage at a traditional shelter. I was volunteering to complete my high school community service and, in that “cage and kill” shelter, a simple sneeze was a death sentence.

That little sound would elicit an immediate reaction: “Who was that!?” the workers would demand of anyone in the room. I would try to conceal the identity, knowing that a pen would quickly follow the identification and mark an “E” on the poor, helpless kitty’s cage card—E for Euthanize. It mattered not whether it was an easily treatable head cold or perhaps a little dust from the lit- Romeo’s first bath ter box that teased a sweet, pink nose—the result would be death by injection, a body bag and an incinerator.

Something about Romeo and his brother, Mercutio, drew me in. I begged my mom to let us save them, and we were soon adopting the pair. Our first night together, I took them in the shower, and they wouldn’t stop purring in my arms.

Over the ensuing years, Romeo lived with me in Chicago, Durham, and Washington, DC and accompanied me on countless vacations, content anywhere as long as I was close by. Nicknamed Houdini, doors and barriers would not prevent him from exploring unknown or off limits territory. He was a “momma” to many-a-foster kitties, nurturing, teaching and cuddling. He was a favorite at the office, frequently accompanying me to work. And he was even my date at the Fur Ball in 2006.

Romeo, you were an inspiration. Your outpouring of unconditional love has been motivation to continue the quest to do more for your helpless, voiceless brethren, scared and alone in cages where their next breath may be their last—where a cough or a sneeze is grounds for capital punishment—where simple treatment is too much of an inconvenience—where death is the easy Romeo at the 2006 Fur Ball fix. I know that you live on with every life saved at PAWS Chicago, and your memory encourages us to continue the fight until all private shelters recognize the inherent beauty in every life under their care and do all they can to heal, nourish and save. - Alexis Fasseas

They come from all over the city, Austin, Englewood, Humboldt Park, Garfield Park, and just about every other neighborhood where Pit Bulls are the preferred breed and dog fighting is part of the landscape.

Characteristics Pit Bulls are high drive dogs that need a job. Either you give them one that hope- fully involves training, socialization and lots of exercise, or they will find one. And chances are it will involve unwanted be- haviors and some level of dog aggression. I am by no means saying all Pit Bulls are dog aggressive, but to be the best owner you can be, you must know the history of the breed. Where they came from and what they were originally breed for has relevance. Do your homework, know the origin of the breed, respect it, and honor you dog in that way.

Training The most important thing you can do with your Pit Bull is giving it the tools to succeed in the world. The loud, con- gested, people-filled, dog friendly world of Chicago. Keep in mind, everyone on your block did not sign up for a Pit Bull… you did. And you are not doing the breed

Our dogs and cats are precious to us. We want them to live forever, but we don’t like to see them show any signs of age. People often explain problems with arthritis or other illness by saying, “she’s just getting old.” But that is not a diagnosis; it is just an assessment of how long the pet has been here.

When my dog, Tundra, was 11, I felt she was “just getting old.” I originally rescued her as a puppy from a shelter, so I wasn’t certain of her breed. She looked most like a German Shepherd and I knew that breed’s lifespan averages around 12 years. I wanted her to live longer than that so I searched for something to do about it.

I have taken and refined the strategies I used for Tundra and applied them to all of my aging patients. I was thrilled that Tundra lived another six years – playing on the beach and having a wonderful life. Supporting animals as they age is something I look forward to, because my clients and I consider aging an asset rather than a disease.

And in 2007, Jessica officially joined PAWS Chicago after serving as a Community Outreach volunteer. With PAWS Chicago’s events raising more than $2 million each year –almost half of the organization’s $5 million annual operating budget – Jessica’s work has an enormous impact on saving the lives of homeless cats and dogs. “Our generous sponsors are crucial to our events’ success, because they help offset our overhead

Hello,

It’s been about three weeks since I adopted Emilia (PAWS Chicago name Tyro) and it’s been a wonderful experience!

When I first met Emilia at PAWS, she was about 17 weeks old, two pounds, had really bad scars from frost-bite on her Emilia upon arrival at nose and ears, and was very tiny. She PAWS Chicago was found by ACC weeks before in the snow during the Blizzard of 2011. How she survived, I have no idea! Since then, her ears have healed and patches of fur are starting to grow back on her nose and in other places she had scars. She’s gained weight at a whopping 3.1 pounds and is very active. The vet says she is very healthy and is actually a “very wonderful and sweet kitten, and that I should be very lucky to have her.” And, I would have to agree!

She acclimated right away when I took her home! She actually jumped right out of her carrier and ran around my apartment, full of joy and wanting to play. It’s almost as if she knew she was home. She never scratches anything she shouldn’t and has never had an “accident.” She is very social, affectionate and a perfect companion. Emilia is very soft spoken but that doesn’t mean she’s not talkative. She’s always meowing to me.

Every morning when I wake up she is right there next to me (and sometimes even laying on me). She never leaves my side, day or night. She has a morning routine of wanting to be pet and cuddled for about 10 minutes, followed by play time. Eating also seems to be her favorite past-time.

You can really tell she is truly a loving, good-hearted, kitten. Unlike most cats that are independent by nature, Emilia definitely doesn’t fit that persona-she is extremely interactive and always seeking my attention. She is by far the most affectionate, loving pet I have ever had.

Thank You, PAWS Chicago, Ashley Roenna

Their human companions dined on a top-of-the-line buffet, delighted in the silent auction and danced the night away to music provided by Icon Entertainment and The Dave and Donna Duo. Auctioneer Shane Ratliff was an enormous hit with items including 8 a weeklong getaway to the Caribbean island of Nevis; tickets to opening night at the Metropolitan Opera in New York City with Yves Saint Laurent; tickets to the Oprah Winfrey show and a backstage tour, a private tour of the United Center with Blackhawks chairman & owner, Rocky Wirtz; a vacation to India; and the opportunity to 4 feature your pet on the cover of the 2012 PAWS Chicago Desktop Calendar.

By 2010, that number fell to five wards. Those five wards are all concentrated in the far south and southwest side of Chicago, and that is where the GusMobile will be providing free and low-cost spay/ neuter services. The Becks have great expectations for the GusMobile: “We want to see a reduction in homeless dogs and feral cats in the neighborhoods it serves,” said Janice. “Also, we hope that the community will learn about how important spaying and neutering are to control the epidemic of homeless animals.” Since PAWS Chicago’s founding, the number of The GusMobile is a stand-alone, self-contained homeless pets killed in the city has declined by 59%, from more than 42,571 in 1997 to 17,399 last year. mobile surgical unit equipped with: “Those results are very heartwarming,” said Phil. “I • Three surgical tables with supporting oxygen and think PAWS does a wonderful job dealing with adop- anesthesia machines that enable PAWS Chicago to tions, especially of pets that are difficult to place.

Spring 2011 center thru donor list.indd 43 5/24/11 9:40:16 AM Dear PAWS Chicago Staff and Volunteers,

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. I can’t begin to express

my appreciation for all that you do for the animals of Chicago –

Adopter Letter Adopter including our beloved boy, Hank.

I’m sure some of you remember Hank. He was the soulful Weimaraner who was saved from Animal Care and Control with horrific burns along his spine. The incredible medical team at PAWS nursed Hank back to health, and then Kristin Bozic was

kind enough to start the healing in his heart, fostering him at Hank as he arrived at her home with her pooch, Simone. PAWS Chicago

We adopted Hank (or Hank the tank, as we like to call him!) in August. When we first brought him home, he was one scared pup. I would take our other Weimaraner, Gus, for a walk around the block and leave Hank at home with my husband, Jaime. Hank would bark NON STOP the entire time we were gone (which would be all of seven minutes). We couldn’t leave Hank and Gus alone for any duration of time, because Hank’s separation anxiety was so severe. We were so worried we weren’t the right home for Hank, because he seemed so very unhappy.

We reminded ourselves that he had been through so much, and was just adjusting to all the changes in such a short window. We took him for lots of runs, spent quality time together at the dog park, held him tight, and hoped for the best.

It paid off. Hank began to find his confidence – and his happiness. He ADORES his big brother. Gus and Hank go to daycare twice a week, and all the staff at Bark Chicago remark about how Hank follows Gus around and how much they love to cuddle together.

Hank loves to play, loves to fetch, and loves to be on the couch with us whenever he can be. He is, undoubtedly, a lap dog (all 80 pounds of him)! He still has moments of sadness, for sure. Loud noises still startle him, and he has his down days – but the good days way outnumber the bad. We consider ourselves truly blessed that Hank has come into our lives. Hank has taught us so much about patience, forgiveness, and love. It’s truly remarkable that Hank can love ANYONE after being abused and abandoned – and yet, he does. He is kind, gentle, and wise.

We're not sure what kind of home he had before us, but I do know that we aim to give him all the love he needs, and to give him the happiest home he can imagine! Most importantly, we're so thankful to the entire team at PAWS Chicago for spotting what we know - that under those burns and scared eyes is one of the dearest dogs you've ever met. Without PAWS, Hank certainly would have been euthanized - and what a tremendous loss that would have been.

The Morales Family Samantha, Jaime, Gus and Hank

He was, in his prime, a 14-pound silver and Alexis Fasseas and Rick Kronenburger spotted Bengal. We adopted (rescued) him and his brother Tuchas Stieber by Rick Raguse and The OGC Josh at the same time. He was quite a character. Always the Humbolt and Taz Styles by Linda Goldberg Leahy Carson Swanson by Stacy McAuliffe dominant of the two and always attempting to dominate Pierre Sweig by Peter, Paula, Drew and Alexis Fasseas all our other cats! He was very dignified and even as a Teddy by Deborah Tate kitten would only eat Friskies Antioxidant cat food. Tessy by Peggy Kocian The Big One by Sarah Lichtenstein He was also the resident snitch. If any of the other cats Tigger and Stryker by Steve Bruehl Tito by Michelle Meek coughed up a fur ball, he’d come find me and bring me to Toshi, Kira and Anne Marie by Tamashii it. If any of them had an accident outside the catbox, he’d Twiggy and Tiggy by Fazlollah Alavi Tyler by Suzanne, Carol, Art and Jack Hoffman come find me and bring me to the scene of the crime. If Whiskey by Fany Hernandez one of the bigger cats was getting too rough with one of Spike Wilborn by Nicole Mott the smaller cats, he’d come find me and bring me to them. Willy by Richard and Lois Roberts Wilson by Angie DeMars and Noah’s Ark Pet Supply In his spare time he was probably writing up reports in his Wilson by his friends at Wrigley cat journals. Winnie the Poodle by Janet Barkell Wrigley by Molly McKenzie He was also over curious and during one of his many Wrigley by Jennifer Bushelon “patrols” of the hall in our condo, he wandered in the open Xena by Gina Connor Zippy Zielinski by Michael Zielinski, Dennis door of the apartment of the British Consulate during one and Judy Zielinski, James and Frances Hicks, of their many events five years ago. I had to crawl in and Maureen Kolbus and Nora Rowley get him out before he was noticed. He also would only answer “No” to whatever you asked In Memory of him. He loved sleeping on top of any cat tree, he loved Payton Gallo rolling around outside in the grass, he loved being alone, he loved laying on my chest staring at me, he loved being a snitch and he really loved his cat nip. Sadly, due to careless breeding, he was diagnosed with T Cell Lymphoma in December of 2010 and had a slow decline until his passing. He was brave, he was dignified and he was loved and held until the second he died. He was a character and we will miss him forever. ‑Michael & Jo Ann Sweig 72
