Meet a real hero From rescued to rescuer

Every dog and cat that comes through the Shelter and finds a loving home is a joy for us. It’s what drives our volunteers to show up seven days a week. On occasion, an incredible story illustrates just how special these animals are, and just how much they can change when given love and training.

Blake has such a story to tell. In October 2016, Blake, a 2-year-old, handsome Chocolate Lab was picked up as a stray in Central Point by Jackson County Animal Services. He had no collar, no microchip and no one came to claim him. Two weeks after his arrival, Search Dog Foundation (SDF) Canine Recruiter, Kirsten Fulk, visited the shelter, seeking high-energy dogs to evaluate for the SDF. Rescuing dogs and training them for careers in search and rescue is the foundation’s mission.

Dogs recruited from across the country are trained to become the nation’s first responders to disasters across the nation. Kirsten quickly spotted Blake, and took him to the SDF training center in Santa Paula, California to be evalu- ated for entry into their program. He was accepted!

In April 2018, after 17 months of care and training, Blake was paired with firefighter and paramedic, Mike Brice, of the San Diego Fire-Rescue/California Task Force 8.

We contacted Mike in San Diego to find out how Blake was doing at his new job. “So, you know how they say that a dog is a man’s best friend? That is the biggest understatement of the century, because Blake is that and so much more. Not only to me, but also to my family and pretty much every- one who comes in contact with him.”

This Tony Award-winning musical is set in London in 1907 and tells the uproarious, farcical story of Monty Navarro, an heir to a family fortune who sets out to jump the line of succession by – you guessed it – eliminating the eight pesky relatives who stand in his way. You see, the family disinherited Monty’s mother, so, in revenge, Monty plots to eliminate the heirs, one by one – and they’re all played by the same actor! All the while, Monty has to juggle his mistress (she’s after more than just love), his fiancée (she’s his cousin but who’s keeping track?), and the constant threat of landing behind bars! It’s killer entertainment!

4 Friends of the Animal Shelter | FOTAS.org After twenty-one years of providing low-cost spay/neuter services Planned Services through their voucher programs, SNYP is gearing up to open the first stand-alone low-cost spay/neuter clinic in southern Oregon. • Owned dog and cat The clinic, located at 111 N. Pacific Hwy in Talent, Oregon is spay/neuters expected to open in mid-February of this year. • Subsidized low-income Initially, the clinic will serve shelter partners in Jackson, Josephine, dog and cat spay/neuters and Siskiyou counties, as well as community (feral and stray) cats. Beginning in March, the clinic will open to the general public • Community cat (feral and stray) spay/neuters throughout the region. • Trap/Neuter/Return Having a dedicated spay/neuter clinic will allow SNYP to: support and training • Increase the number of animals SNYP can assist annually • Expand their services to neighboring Josephine, Klamath • Shelter dog and cat and Siskiyou counties spay/neuters • Grow their community cat services • Breed-specific incentive • Introduce new spay/neuter services for specific breeds, programs such as Pit Bulls and Chihuahuas • Support shelters’ spay/neuter-before-adoption needs in three counties

What this means to the Shelter and Friends of the Animal Shelter: SNYP can help get adopted animals neutered sooner, getting those lucky pets into their forever homes faster, and freeing up precious space for more animals to be rescued.

Dr. Mike Maynard will be joining the clinic team from Colorado. Dr. Maynard is trained in high-quality, high-volume spay/neuter (HQHVSN), which is instrumental to the clinic’s high-volume demands. Dr. Mike is already busy advising on best practices, supply procurement and a hundred and one other things as SNYP nears their opening date.

Pricing and a detailed list of services will be posted on the SNYP website as they get closer to their opening date.

A special thank you goes to Friends of the Animal Shelter for their continued support. Updates at SpayNeuter.org 5 Friends of the Animal Shelter | FOTAS.org CELEBRATING THE FOSTER JOURNEY Fostering of under-age (too young to spay/neuter) and kennel-stressed animals is one of the most vital components to saving more animals. It’s also an amazing journey, for both the foster families and the shelter animals.

We asked Amanda, a Foster volunteer, to find out how she became involved and what insight she has for those considering fostering, but are still a little too nervous to take the first step.

“I got into fostering almost by accident, and the experience has been so rewarding, I continue to raise my hand to foster again and again. Admittedly, at first, I was hesitant because I was worried that I would fall in love with the animals and not be able to part with them. But, surprisingly, I discovered I was so excited about how much they blossomed, that I wanted to share them with others and found incredible delight in their adoptions into loving homes. All I can say is that the reward is tenfold. I am really blown away by how much fostering enriches my life.”

“I see my role as providing a sanctuary – a home between homes. Fostering also enriches my own pets’ lives, and teaches my kids invaluable lessons about taking care of creatures in need. I’m in my third year and have fostered 49 animals so far. I foster both dogs and cats, and when needed, take a Shelter animal that needs a little med- ical attention. The foster support is excellent. If I need food, medical supplies or just some advice, there is always someone available. I also like that I can take a breather when I need to. The program is very flexible, so I foster when it works for me and my family.”

Barbara Talbert, Jackson County Animal Shelter Manager, understands how much fostering can change a dog’s personality. “There are many animals that do not thrive in a shelter setting. It’s noisy and can be scary for some dogs. Then they don’t “show well” to potential adopters.”

“It has been a very rewarding experience to take a misunderstood, stressed dog from the Shelter that has struggled in a noisy Most photos for this article were lovingly environment, without having much control over its routine, and taken by Foster Volunteer Amanda. see him or her blossom into a super dog with potential to live with

Why do animals need foster care? • Some animals don’t do well in a shelter environment because they are frightened, need a little extra care, or just need a break if they’ve been in the shelter for a while. • Some dogs need help with modifying behaviors to make them more adoptable. • Because we are a “spay/neuter-before- adoption” shelter, some young animals need time to grow before their surgery. • Newborn animals that need to be bottle-fed. • Animals needing time to recover from an illness or injury before adoption.

Whatever the reason, these animals need some “Fostering has helped my whole family be better extra love and care before they can be adopted.

8 Friends of the Animal Shelter | FOTAS.org Volunteering @ the Shelter

We have so many wonderful, fun and rewarding volunteer opportunities, it might be hard to choose! Work directly with the cats and dogs. Help adopters find their perfect new companion. Volunteer at the Shelter, in the community, and even from home!

DOG CARE With more than 1,500 dogs prancing through the Shelter each year, we need lots of strong Dog Walkers, Ambassadors to work with adopters, Kennel Coordinators and Enrichment volunteers. Dog walkers can even take a dog home overnight!

DOG PLAY GROUPS Sounds fun, right? Play groups provide exercise, mental stimulation and socialization for the dogs, and is an important part of our evaluation process as we assess their adoptability. Volunteers have a very active role in getting dogs to and from the kennels, where an experienced yard handler takes charge. If handling a dog is too much, perhaps you can become a note taker. It’s fun for the dogs and the volunteers!

CAT CARE Cat volunteers help with maintaining a healthy and happy cat room environment, while helping our feline friends feel comfortable and loved, which helps them get adopted. Spend time petting, grooming, keeping kennels clean, socializing and feeding our kitties. Volunteers are very hands-on with our cats, help promote them on social media, and love helping them find their fur-ever homes. VOLUNTEER SUPPORT SERVICES We have several opportunities for volunteers in invaluable support roles. At the Shelter’s front desk you can greet visitors, answer questions, and NEW VOLUNTEER help with projects. The Shelter has very little staff, so your contribution is ORIENTATION immeasurable.
