Spring 2016 New Best Buddy Pet Center and Animal Medical Center of Mid-America

Construction on the facility at Page Avenue and Schuetz Road began in October 2015.

Holland Construction and their subcontractors worked through the heavy downpours of December and February snow to stay as close to schedule as possible. Bi-weekly construction meetings help ensure progress is made each week. “We knew we might have weather setbacks,” said HSMO President Kathy Warnick, “but we are adjusting and moving forward quickly. It’s so exciting to see our long- dreamed-for building rising!” Slated to open in Spring 2017, the new veterinary center and shelter will feature an open, bright and colorful layout inviting to adults and children. Both shelter and privately owned dogs and cats will receive exceptional care from veterinarians and staff with access to state-of- the-art diagnostic equipment and world-class facilities.

Cat Wounded with Arrow Despite much publicity and a $2,500 reward, the person responsible for cruelly shooting a cat with an arrow has not been identified.

The arrow impaled the grey, adult male cat all the way through the upper left leg muscle. HSMO rescuers named him “Little John.” A concerned citizen in the Wildwood, Mo. area found the suffering cat in his barn and called HSMO’s Animal Cruelty Hotline. The arrow had gone completely through the upper muscle of the leg and, according to Dr. Mark Wright, director of Shelter Medicine for the Humane Society of Missouri, appeared to have happened several days before he was rescued. “The wound and entry and exit areas were full of pus and infected,” noted Dr. Wright. Fortunately, no bones were broken and, with expert treatment and care, Little John made a full recovery. Although the handsome, roving cat was known in the neighborhood, no owner came forward. After weeks of TLC from HSMO veterinarians and staff, Little John has found a great place to live his life to the fullest. The Humane Society of Missouri Animal Cruelty Task Force (ACT) is offering a $2,500 reward for information leading to the arrest and prosecution of the offender(s) who shot the cat in November 2015.

Fast-Rising Flood Strands Pets A cat using its litter box as a raft was among the pets rescued by the Humane Society of Missouri’s Disaster Response Team during the late December/early January flood that affected the Mississippi, Meramec and tributaries in and around the St. Louis area.

Flood waters rose quickly after as much as 10 inches of rain fell in a matter of hours. Some people had time only to grab a few belongings and their pets. Others faced the grimmer prospect of not being able to reach their homes and their animals left behind. “Our training and animal handling experience really paid off for this poor cat and the other animals we helped,” noted HSMO Animal Cruelty Task Force Director Mike Perkins. “We know how to safely go into a potentially dangerous situation and help scared and If you must injured animals. It’s very gratifying to return a once-stranded animal into the arms of a relieved pet owner.” evacuate, please In addition to rescue efforts, HSMO operated receiving stations in Arnold and Fenton, do not leave your Mo.

8 Spring 2016 LONGMEADOW RESCUE RANCH

Calypso, Juniper and Jack Retire Calypso After seven years as Barn Buddies, Jack, Calypso and Juniper have retired. All three were born at Longmeadow Rescue Ranch in 2009.

When Jack the Sheep made his entrance into the world, his sweet personality and handsome looks stole the hearts of everyone. He quickly learned to walk on a harness and attended his first Barn Buddy event in March 2010 when he was just five months old. Mini-horse Calypso was born at Longmeadow Rescue Ranch on April 30, 2009. She weighed 32 pounds and was just 26 inches tall. As a newborn, Calypso was shy at first, but with lots of loving attention from her ranch caretakers, she became very friendly and enjoys having her long mane and tail brushed. Less than a week after Calypso arrived, Juniper was born during an Open House. Visitors had the once-in-a-lifetime experience of seeing the birth of a miniature donkey. She weighed only 25 pounds and was just 24 inches tall. Juniper is social and playful and likes to bound around the pasture. Jack, Calypso and Juniper traveled with their Barn Buddy friends to appear on NBC’s Today Show and the Fox Network’s Fox and Friends. They have been much-loved ambassadors for Longmeadow Rescue Ranch and deserve Juniper their well-earned retirement. Jack

Once they were able to be caught, they were taught how to accept a halter and lead from a rope. They progressed from there with ground work training and then training for riding, if appropriate. Fortunately, Pony Helga found just the right adopters with a sweet little, pink-booted cowgirl to love her.

What’s better than children and dogs helping each other? Nothing! According to NBC Nightly News, The Rachael Ray Show and other media outlets and animal shelters worldwide!

And we agree. The Humane Society of Missouri Shelter Buddies Reading Program gained national attention March 3 as the featured story on the NBC Nightly News with Lester Holt Making a Difference segment and on The Rachael Ray Show on March 21. HSMO’s Assistant Director of Humane Education JoEllyn Klepacki and several caring kids shared with the world the transforming effect kids reading to shelter dogs has on both. The response has been overwhelming with requests to share our story from on- line, print, and broadcast media in Brazil, Great Britain, France, Russia, Germany, and many other countries, not to mention from throughout the USA.
