In February 2012, PETCO and the PETCO Foundation, longtime supporters of PAWS Chicago, and Hill’s Science Diet donated more than 10,000 pounds (or five tons) of dog and cat food to the PAWS Chicago Pet Food Bank. The Pet Food Bank was created in 2008 to help families affected by the recession who were often forced to give up their pets when they could no longer afford to feed or care for them. The Pet Food Bank helps prevent adding to the population of Chicago’s homeless pets. More than 130,000 pounds of food has been distributed and more than 2,000 pets have been kept in their homes, rather than entering the shelter system. The 10,000 pounds is part of a matching donation that Hill’s committed to PETCO and the PETCO Foundation’s National Pet Food Drive in 2011. For the second year in a row, Hill’s Science Diet matched, pound for pound, every bag of Hill’s Science Diet donated during the drive.

By Julie Mazzola

Red, a loving Pit Bull Terrier, was seven years old, when his world was turned upside down after his owner was attacked and robbed in their home in 2009. Attempting to protect his owner, Red was shot in the back and lost the use of his hind legs. Fortunately, Chicago Police Officer, Brian Cicio, contacted Animal Care and Control (ACC) to help Red. As his owner was taken to the hospital, ACC officers picked Red up and took him to the city pound. With his owner unable to care for him, euthanizing Red seemed, at the time, the only humane option due to the major care he would require for the rest of his life. Fortunately, Red was spotted by a PAWS Chicago team member who was “More than any other animal, making her daily trip to transfer in pets for adoption. Red personifies PAWS Red was taken into PAWS Chicago, given medical Chicago’s mission. We took in care, led by PAWS chief veterinarian, Dr. Jessica Von the neediest dog, nurtured him Waldau, and eventually placed into the adoption to great mental and physical program, where he quickly became a favorite among health, and kept our promise staff, volunteers and visitors. to find his forever home.

To help strengthen Laurie Gentle Kara Severson muscles and keep him healthy, Dr. Royal provided Adoption Counselor Red with weekly acupuncture treatments, time on an underwater treadmill, B-12 supplements and a special diet high in nutrients needed to keep him strong.

“When guests learn about Red’s story, many become sad. However, when I share how dearly loved and cared for he is by so many people at PAWS – through the donation of his wheelchair, food for his special diet and those who take him outside to run and play – they understand what a good life he has been given. Red’s wonderful personality made him fight for his life and now makes him happy to be alive. He has an incredible energy and love of life and people. He is a prime example for all of us to keep going no matter what obstacles are placed in our way. Red showed me his courage, love, joy, patience and incredible will to survive.

Continued from page 13 Be Prepared For an Emergency Always keep the phone number of your veterinarian and the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center (888-426-4435) readily accessible. If you suspect your pet has swallowed something toxic, the Animal Poison Control Center’s 24-hour hotline is staffed by trained toxicologists ready to help you. It is also advisable to keep a bottle of hydrogen peroxide, 3% USP, handy at all times in case it is necessary to induce vomiting.

“It is important for us to serve as a voice for those who cannot speak for themselves.”

Six years ago, Anita Mauro was invited to a PAWS Chicago Development Board meeting by a friend. By the end of the meeting, she became a member of the board and began dedicating time to saving the lives of homeless pets. And, she hasn’t looked back since. Anita has been an active volunteer and has served on the Fur Ball Committee, participated in many Angels with Tails adoption events and volunteers as a greeter at the Adoption Center. She has also made volunteering at PAWS Chicago a family affair. Her husband, Dan, plans to join the Development Board this year. “Dan and I love animals. It is important for us to serve as a voice for those who cannot speak for themselves,” says Anita. Leveraging her background as a real estate tax and commercial lending attorney at Thompson Coburn LLP, Anita has served as a pro bono legal advisor on real estate matters. According to Anita, “By providing PAWS Chicago with my real estate tax expertise, I am doing my part to enable the saving of even more lives. I am also proud to report that a number of attorneys and staff from Thompson Coburn, LLP volunteered their time at the Lurie Spay/Neuter Clinic for the 2011 Make a Difference Day.” The adoption of Bella, a flat-coated Retriever/Border Collie mix, stands out as one of her best experiences of volunteering at PAWS Chicago. “The No Kill movement is very close to our hearts,” says Anita. “If PAWS did not take Bella in when her prior owner relinquished her, she would have been euthanized because of her severe allergies. We are so lucky to have her in our lives.” Thanks to Anita’s support, PAWS Chicago is growing closer to creating a No Kill community. “PAWS Chicago is Proud supporter of the family that you choose. Dan and I are so fortunate to be a part of such a great PAWS Chicago family,” says Anita.

For a poignant perspective on why the revolution in No Kill sheltering is gaining ground, imagine yourself in Mr. Ed’s scenario. This sweet-natured tabby cat suddenly found himself homeless when his family home was foreclosed upon. Tragically abandoned by his owners, the scared, starving Mr. Ed took refuge in a lonely room. By sheer luck (and before he died from neglect), his fortunes were radically reversed when a mortgage worker discovered him. Coincidentally, a group of PAWS Chicago volunteers were nearby, unloading food to stock the Emergency Pet Food Bank. They immediately took Mr. Ed to the PAWS Chicago Lurie Clinic, where he received medical care, nutritious food and a soft, warm place to rest his weary body. Once restored to good health, Mr. Ed joined a new family, one he found at the PAWS Chicago Adoption Center.

Nathan Winograd, one of the founders of the No Kill movement in San Francisco in 1994, lays out this challenge: “We can fully, completely, and without reservation embrace No Kill as our future. Or we can continue to legitimize the two-pronged strategy of failure: adopt a few and kill the rest. It is a choice which history has thrown upon us. We are the generation that questioned the killing. We are the generation that has discovered how to stop it. Will we be the generation that does?”

Unsurprisingly, the majority of people assume that all reality, many (if not most) will exit the doors through shelters exist to give the gift of life to animals. However, which they entered in body bags. thanks to the growing influence of the No Kill movement, Conversely, No Kill shelters practice “managed the public is slowly learning the ugly truth about the admissions,” assuring that all animals taken in are cared amount of killing that takes place at so many of America’s for and guaranteed life under the no kill guarantee, but shelters.

Government shelters are responsible for shelters do not manage their populations to those limits the safety of communities and must be “open door,” and utilize killing as a population management tool. accepting all stray or unwanted animals. In a No Kill While these traditional open door shelters have the model, the government shelter will be a clearing house, prerogative to do what they wish with the animals taking in all strays, reuniting lost pets with owners, and in their care, they are rarely transparent about their transferring the rest to private shelters and rescue groups. statistics to the general public. These privately funded On the other hand, private shelters have a choice to shelters are wholly supported by the animal loving operate as a traditional or a No Kill shelter: whether to community, yet they essentially use donor dollars to accept all animals, regardless of resources, or commit to duplicate the role that government shelters play in animal saving the lives of every one they take in.

Often, such shelters in a No Kill shelter, please! encourage the public to bring them their animals by making dishonest claims of “finding a home for every adoptable pet” or “having no time or space limits.” Yet, on average, 40 to 70 percent of pets taken in are killed. Here’s a translation guide:

“We find a home for all adoptable pets.” The question to ask, is what is the criteria for a pet to be “adoptable”? A scratch on the nose, too many black dogs in the shelter, a common upper respiratory infection, being too young No Kill Shelters (under eight weeks), being too old (over six Essentially, No Kill shelters guarantee the lives of all animals in years of age), being too shy or failing a their care and only euthanize if an animal is suffering and medical temperament test that has no scientific grounds treatment cannot alleviate its condition, or if a dog is truly vicious. are examples of justifications used at “open “Vicious” does not mean a simple behavior problem but rather a door” shelters to excuse the killing. Of course, dog that poses a true safety risk to the public. This accounts for pet owners do not think their pet is unadoptable, a very small number, with most No Kills saving in excess of 95 so they bring their pet to the “humane” society percent and all No Kills saving more than 90 percent of the pets to find a new home. they take in. All animals in a No Kill shelter are given needed medical care “We have no limits of time or space.” and necessary behavior training to make them adoptable. The While this might sound like a No Kill shelter, shelter is, in essence, a safe haven, dedicated to preserving life, not “open door” shelters make these statements, but ending it. they only count the pets that make it into their The most important difference between “open door” and No kennels, not every animal that comes through Kill shelters lies in how intake is managed.

Each year, more than 17,000 homeless pets are killed in traditional “open door” Chicago shelters because they do not have a home. Although many of these animals are sick or injured, the vast majority are treatable and would make wonderful, loving pets if given a chance. Each year, PAWS Chicago is giving thousands of pets that opportunity. PAWS Chicago goes to Chicago Animal Care & Control (ACC), the city pound, almost every day and rescues as many pets as there is room. Thanks to generous donor support, PAWS Chicago is able to take in animals who are sick, injured or have socialization needs. Every pet is treated as an individual and is given a guarantee of life.

PAWS Chicago’s Adoption & Humane Center welcomes all with a contemporary yet rustic décor. The open environment is a metaphor for the new era of sheltering that distinguishes PAWS Chicago. When the Center opened in 2007, it helped usher in a seismic change in animal adoption. Sadly, even now, many shelters are dingy, loud and unwelcoming. Animals are crowded into small cages; they’re not exposed to natural light or the out of doors; the surroundings aren’t pristine; and they sorely lack human interaction. Conversely, PAWS Chicago’s state- of-the-art environment was designed to accord animals the dignity, respect and healthy conditions they deserve. Dogs and cats reside in suites rather than cages to ensure a quiet, relaxed environment.

Cat or Kitten? Tips on how to choose the right pet for your lifestyle

By Joan Harris

Adopting any new pet requires a lot of thought, time and commitment. Every member of your family needs to be on board and present for the selection of this new member of the household. Before selecting a new pet, know what kind of personality will best suit you and your family. Also, be realistic about the amount of time, space and resources that are available. If you have the time and resources, rescue a pet and you’ll have a devoted friend and family member for life! Before choosing, consider exactly what type of pet would be best for your lifestyle. Even though you will be doing a good deed, do yourself a favor and consider all of your options. Make several trips to the shelter and introduce all family members (including other household dogs) to make sure everyone is happy. This decision will affect you for many years. Enjoy the opportunity to help a rescue pet find a loving home and a second chance at life.

In addition to helping animals at PAWS, Melissa and her partner have filled their home with rescued pets.

The volunteers are always so helpful and eager to assist in whatever way needed. Without their hard work and dedication, PAWS Chicago would not be where we are today – saving the lives of thousands of homeless animals, and educating individuals on the importance of spay/neuter and adoption.”

2 Spring 2012 11-37 37 4/16/12 8:36:55 AM Honoring Judith Blazer Longtime PAWS Chicago Supporter and Heroine of Miss Kitty’s Senior Cat Room By Alexis Fasseas

t all began in Little Village, one afternoon in late 2006, over a burrito. IJudith Blazer and her longtime friend and assistant Laurie Magee had just visited the construction site of the future PAWS Chicago Adoption Center on Clybourn Avenue and then toured the Lurie Spay/Neuter Clinic and Rescue & Recovery Center on 26th Street with PAWS founder Paula Fasseas. They were sharing tales of the pets that had touched their lives and Paula discussed her vision of a No Kill city and PAWS Chicago’s strategic planning to achieve that goal. “On the spot, I gave Paula a check to name Miss Kitty’s Senior Cat room in the new Adoption Center, and an equal amount to use in whatever way would address PAWS’ greatest need,” Judith recalls of the introductory meeting. “We want to say we joined forces over those cute furry things with whiskers, but it was the burrito,” Judith teases. “When you’re on a low-carb diet as long as I have been, eating a burrito is like going to the world’s fair.”

Kitty City Judith’s love affair with animals began at birth. “The day I was born, my uncle gave me a Doberman, Nero, who slept in my crib with me,” Judith recalls. However, Nero’s Steve Kadlec love for Judith was so overbearing that he protected her from all humans and would not let her have any friends. & As a consequence, Judith’s family had to find Nero a new The cats and kittens who temporarily reside in Kitty City home where his guarding behavior would not pose a at PAWS Chicago’s Adoption Center rest and play in comfort threat to children. thanks in part to the design team at Kadlec Architecture + Following Nero, a lifetime of pets enriched Judith’s life, Design.

Blazer Family History Judith’s family was rooted in Wisconsin following her great-grandparents’ emigration from the “Old Country,” as she calls it. As is often the case, much of her family’s history is folklore, passed down through the generations. Both sides of her ancestry were Wisconsin farmers, but that changed when her maternal grandfather, Niels Miller, founded Miller Electric Manufacturing Company. A manufacturer of welding machines, the company achieved success during World War II. Steve, a registered architect who has been practicing Niels, who possessed only a third-grade education and architecture and design in Chicago for more than 20 years, was worked at a broom factory, invented the first alternating introduced to PAWS Chicago through his client, Judith Blazer, current welding machine in his basement. “He sold who was in the process of designing an environment in her home that first welding machine and made enough money to build two more, and that’s how it all started,” Judith that was comfortable for her and her cats.

3 Spring 2012 38-65 donor list.indd 39 4/16/12 8:39:24 AM Letter from a Senior Cat Adopter Judith’s beloved cat, Miss Kitty Dear PAWS Chicago, In the fall of 2010 we were looking to adopt an orange male tabby – we just love their feisty personalities. We came to PAWS on a Sunday, we saw a young boy, and then we saw Alan in the “Senior Room.” The volunteer said that Alan would not do well with other cats. He had been with PAWS for more than nine months. When we returned the next Sunday, there was a different volunteer in the Senior Room who had more positive things to say about Alan. She knew we were cat people and understood that we would know how to bring him out of “I’m just grateful to be part of PAWS, I am his shell. All we knew about him was that he was hard of hearing and only had four teeth, three of them were already truly grateful. PAWS makes my heart sing.” black and would need to be pulled.

It seemed Room and say hi to these great cats! that while there was tons of support everywhere for all manners of worthy issues, there wasn’t much support for those poor little Sincerely, furry things with whiskers.” Judith and John Sutton Judith’s generosity began with Miss Kitty’s Senior Cat Room and continued with donating the Judith Blazer Community Room in the PAWS Chicago Adoption Center in 2007. Four years later, she made one of the largest single unrestricted donations in the organization’s history – a gift of $1 million. Her incredibly generous support has been used to purchase the Blazer Building, which is located on Marcey Street just one block from the Clybourn Avenue PAWS Chicago Adoption Center. The Blazer Building will be abuzz with activity on its opening day in May 2012 as home base for all business operations, development, special events, and communications. The building will also anchor a very large training center, planned to open by the end of 2012, that will facilitate the expansion of PAWS Chicago’s volunteer training programs and dog-training programs for adopters and the general public. The Blazer Building will also house the No Kill Academy, which is planned to launch in 2013.

3 Spring 2012 38-65 donor list.indd 40 4/16/12 8:39:31 AM This learning center will welcome shelters and rescue from groups across the country (and beyond) to learn best practices for the No Kill model. It is fitting that the focal point for the next generation of PAWS Chicago’s national outreach will be based in a building named to honor the generous and compassionate friend of animals, Judith Blazer. Judith’s first and lasting impression relates to the organization’s passion and focus on results. “I continue to be amazed by the overwhelming commitment to animal welfare displayed by the people who are associated with PAWS – the volunteers, and the people who work there and Paula Fasseas,” Judith says. “And I am thunderstruck by the numbers. I’m thunderstruck that there are such huge tangible results to PAWS’ efforts in the community, reducing the number of homeless pets killed in Chicago by 60 percent since its founding.” But it is the mission, and the focus on saving lives that continues to motivate Judith. “I see all these little guys who have just been tossed to the curb, and they have feelings. I watch them at the Adoption Runner up “Best Vet” Center, waiting for nice parents. And then, they get nice parents, finally. And I am just Chicago Reader's Best Chicago 2011 overjoyed every time I see that.” Judith continues, “The sign outside the Adoption Center, ‘It’s good to be alive!’ makes me cry every time I see it. That philosophy sums it up.” “I’m just grateful to be part of PAWS,” Judith says. “I am truly grateful. PAWS makes my heart sing.” But it is animal lovers like Judith, with their compassion for our voiceless friends, who fuel PAWS Chicago’s commitment to the life and value of each pet, from fragility at birth to dignity in old age. When animal lovers like Judith proclaim that we can do better, as a community, and then support their convictions with dedication and resources, transformation occurs. For all of these gifts – compassion, conviction, dedication and generosity – the people and animals at PAWS Chicago share a depth of gratitude and whole-hearted appreciation for Judith Blazer and, of course, for Miss Kitty, Judith’s angel of inspiration.

Tenthannual FUR BALL On November 11, 2011, PAWS Chicago hosted the 10th Annual Fur Ball at The Drake Hotel, co-chaired by Julie and Kurt Miller and Nancy and Michael Timmers. Carol and John Walter, two of PAWS Chicago’s earliest and most generous supporters, were Honorary Chairs, recognized for their tremendous support of PAWS Chicago and their commitment 1 to making Chicago a No Kill city. Finely clad pooches dined on a gourmet doggie buffet and relaxed 2 3 with massages and “paw”dicures at the dog spa. Their human companions dined on a top-notch buffet, bid on one-of-a-kind silent auction items and danced all night to music provided by Icon Entertainment and The Dave and Donna Duo. Animal communicator, Debbie Weaver, treated guests to individual pet-reading sessions while artist Rosemary Fanti created amazing illustrations of guests and their pooches. Simon Lambert of The Chicago Wine Company was the live auctioneer for the evening and engaged guests by auctioning off a trip to Argentina; a once-in-a-lifetime portrait sitting with renowned celebrity photographer, Victor Skrebneski; tickets to be in the audience of American Idol; a week-long stay in a Tuscan villa; tickets to the 2012 4 Grammy Awards; and the opportunity to feature one’s pet on the cover of the 2013 PAWS Chicago Desktop Calendar. Following the live auction, generous guests bid on the opportunity to save lives by covering the costs of spay/neuter surgeries at PAWS Chicago’s Lurie Clinic and GusMobile Spay/Neuter Van, medical bills for sick and injured animals, medicine for puppies and kittens and Adoption Center utilities. At the event’s closing, the Fur Ball netted more than $750,000 for Chicago’s homeless pets!

These Florida natives were taken by the organization’s No Kill mission. One year later, they decided to buy a home in Chicago and sought out more information about PAWS Chicago. Sheryl and Chip incorporate their pets into everything they do. They never travel without them and the family always eats together. Currently, the Lesches have two rescue dogs – Sammy, who was found tied up and dehydrated when Hurricane Charlie hit Florida, and Emily, who was a sickly six-month-old rescued from a puppy mill, weighing less than one pound with no hair on her body. “Enrolling in the Guardian Angel Program is a reflection of our confidence that no matter what happens to us, we know the cats and dogs of PAWS Chicago will be taken care of.”

After deciding to become more involved with PAWS Chicago, Sheryl and Chip made a visit to the Adoption & Through the PAWS Chicago Guardian Angel Humane Center. Both were deeply touched by the experience. In the past, they had toured many shelters across the program, Chip and Sheryl Lesch, along with their dogs country, but never anything quite like this.
