Tails www.longmeadowrescueranch.org www.hsmo.org  Rescues & Investigations Record-Setting Rescue Largest Animal Rescue In HSMO History More than 360 mammals, fish and fowl suffering from gross neglect were brought to safety on August 12, thanks to a 26-person task force assembled by the Humane Society Rescues and Investigations Team. The rescue took place just outside of Pleasant Hope, located in southwest Missouri. Humane Society of Missouri investigators, together with representatives of the Polk County Sheriff’s Department, found the animals living in deplorable, filthy conditions with little to no access to appropriate or adequate food; no fresh, clean water; and inadequate shelter. Many were underweight and suffering from poor skin and coat conditions and other veterinary maladies. Some were infected with contagious diseases. among the animals rescued were 53 dogs, 43 rabbits, 26 ducks, 25 chickens, 21 guinea pigs, 11 cats, 10 goats, seven Pigs, goats and fowl all living together without proper shelter, food or water. donkeys, two kangaroo rats and a pig. Also on the property were 169 koi fish and goldfish living in dirty tanks. The Humane Society made arrangements for the fish to be cared for by a Missouri hatchery. Web of Cruelty As a result of our animal abuse investigation with the Polk County Sheriff’s Department, six children living in the same deplorable conditions as the animals are now in the custody of the State of Missouri. Four adults, three parents and a grandmother, have been charged with two counts each of endangering the welfare of a child. We have recommended to the prosecutor that these defendants also be charged with animal abuse and neglect. Far too often when we find abuse of animals, vulnerable children and adults are also suffering abuse. Therefore, in 2000 the Humane Society of Missouri established The Web of Cruelty Program. We train law enforcement and social workers about the connection between abuse of animals and abuse of people and how to recognize signs of abuse. We also encourage increased cross-reporting of abuse among professionals and caregivers.

While these animals somehow survived their cruel neglect, for others it was too late. Numerous dead animals were found throughout the 80-acre property. Sadly, shortly after their rescue, two dogs and a guinea pig died of mal- nutrition and past lack of veterinary care. “When we arrived, the horrible conditions were nearly overwhelming,” said Tim Rickey, director of Rescues and Investigations for the Humane Society of Missouri. “Although we approach every rescue in a professional and forthright manner, it can become emotional for us. It is very sad that any living creature, animal or human, should suffer in a situation like this. And even sadder that it took an investigation of the animals’ condition to discover the pathetic plight of the children living there.” (See Web of Cruelty story on previous page.) The farm animals are being cared for at the Humane Society’s Longmeadow Rescue Ranch in Union, Missouri. The dogs, cats and critters are recuperating at Humane Society Rescue Work Headquarters on Macklind Avenue in St. Louis, Missouri.

At Our Adoption Centers and Longmeadow Rescue Ranch The pet in the inset of our magazine cover, despite her comical face, is a bone-a-fide “star.” That’s because the cover girl with Yoda ears and one slightly crossed eye is named Stella, the Latin word for star. And theatre director Leah Lucas thinks her new star hung the moon. although Leah and her two sisters were raised with dogs as pets, Stella is Leah’s first solo flight. Both of Leah’s sisters, themselves owners of rescued dogs, gave Leah encouragement to adopt, even sending her e-mails with pictures of canine candidates they sniffed out online. a particular e-mail contained a photo of Stella, with the quip, “Have you ever seen such a funny-looking dog?” “I took one look at the picture and said ‘that dog has to be mine’,” said Leah. Not long after, the theatre director cast the dog in a starring role as Leah’s best friend. Stella was among the dogs and cats surrendered to pet shelters during the destructive spring flooding in central and southern Missouri. The Humane Society brought many of them to St. Louis for a second chance. “Stella is such a social dog,” said Leah, with joy and pride in her voice. “She’s never seen another dog — or a human — that she doesn’t greet as a friend.” Among her many other stellar traits, Stella is a good traveler, a comedian and a loving companion. “She’s a low maintenance gal who knows when to chill,” she added.

When the Humane Society of Missouri receives puppies or kittens still nursing, they and their mothers go home with experienced foster parents. Once the offspring are weaned, the mother is spayed and all are placed for adoption. Skittish or grumpy animals often go home with foster parents, who work to build trust with humans, and teach them to “play well with others.” For the sake of the animals, these guardian angels draw on their supplies of patience and love, not to mention the amount of time required.

After a two-and-a-half hour grooming session (completed without a growl from Allistair), he was ready for adoption. allistair’s penchant for piddling ruled out any home with hardwood floors or carpeting. Vicki Schanuel and her son walked in and fell in love. They took him home without hesitation...because all their floors were vinyl.

The cat that went full circle Neuman began life as a wild kitten living under a backyard shed. He was mistrustful of humans, to put it mildly. Humane Society volunteer Kathy Burnett took “the little hiss and spit monster” under her wing. With a great deal of patience and treats, the little boy learned to trust but was still extremely shy. “I was worried when he was to go up for adoption because I knew he would not show as well as some of the others,” commented Burnett. “He would need someone to understand that he was still a work in progress.” Enter Tanya Buydos, who understood. As Burnett predicted, with time and love Neuman became an affectionate cuddler. The amazing end to this happy story is that Neuman’s forever home is right next door to the shed where his journey began. “It turns out that my neighbor was the one who had found Neuman and brought him to the Humane Society shelter,” laughed Tanya.

It doesn’t matter how bad the weather is, they come to work to make sure the animals are okay,” said Cyndi Nason, Adoption Centers director for the Humane Society of Missouri. The same is true for staff at Longmeadow Rescue Ranch and their work with horses and farm animals. “Our people will do anything to keep animals safe and healthy,” agreed Amanda Hirshberg, assistant director at Longmeadow. In addition to food, water and health care, new arrivals receive the “loving touches and sweet talk that raises the animals’ sense of security — and lowers our blood pressure.”
