She was an unclaimed stray from Mandan, and had been cooling her heels at the police impound facility. They contacted us because she is a young, friendly girl with an extra problem – like being impounded and unclaimed are not problem enough! She had a Corneal Dermoid, which is basically a patch of skin that attached during gestation, in a place where no patch of skin should be – her eye. The skin and hair growth on her right eye covered about 1/3 of her eye. Can you imagine how irritating and painful that would be every time she blinked? Yet here she was, happy and making the best of a situation which she had no power to control. It was determined the best course of action was for her to see Dr. Connie Sillerud, a specialist in Veterinary Opthalmology who is based out of Golden Valley, Minnesota. The next task was to raise the needed funds for surgery and travel. One posting on our Facebook page, and in less than 10 days we had the needed funds to give a pain-free life to this nine-month old Rottweiler. Pet lovers are the BEST people in the world! On June 10 we traveled to Golden Valley Before for her initial exam and surgery. It was mentioned during her exam that “after surgery she should feel 600 percent better!” She was sent home the same day, the dermoid removed and her eye intact and fully functional! She required eye ointment and an eye wash several times a day. On June 17 it was back to Golden Valley for her scheduled one-week recheck, which After continued on page 2 Navann... Continued from page 1 she passed with flying colors. Dr. Sillerud could tell we were giving all medications as she Needs requested, which made her very happy and me relieved and even more proud of our caretakers.

Central Dakota Humane Society 2 Bismarck-Mandan’s No-Kill Shelter Volunteer Coordinator Helping Boomer Column By Mandy Schaaf By Sue Buchholz, Shelter Director photos by Jolene Podoll L: Jolene Podoll, our wonderful If you are a follower of our website and mindful of the critters who photographer, finally call our shelter home, Boomer the Basset mix is a familiar smiley face. got in front of the For those who do not know, Boomer is a Southern transplant who came camera!

To quickly refresh your memory, is with her CDHS CDHS traveled to Dothan, Alabama, in October of 2005 to help displaced rescue, Tian. animals, and brought back 52 cats and dogs to rehome in North Dakota. The Souris Valley shelter in Minot also agreed to help take some in, so Boomer headed further North to Minot to check out their shelter. For whatever reasons, he had no one come forward interested in adopting him, so in February of 2006 Boomer moved back to our shelter and has R: Stan Halling, been an icon ever since. longtime CDHS What drew me to him in the first place was his toothy smile, which was often misunderstood as member, volunteer a snarl. Now don’t get me wrong, Boomer is careful who he calls his friends. He says cats are not his and handyman friends. No way. For the longest time he said dogs were not his friends either. No sir. He said all the staff extraordinaire, at the shelter could be his friends, as long as they reached a certain height level, not unlike certain rides helps out at the at a carnival. If you happened to be of the younger generation and under four feet tall or so, Boomer was shelter. not interested in being your friend. Where all these restrictions came from we cannot tell you. However they are firmly planted in his brain, and that’s the way it is. Boomer has stayed at the shelter for a very long time. While some may think this is sad, and in many ways it is, please know that Boomer is not unhappy. Not one bit. The people who made it into his circle – he loves with his whole heart. His days are spent doing what he likes to do. He loves walks with familiar L: Bob Guler, volunteer faces, and believe me over the years, Boomer’s friend list has grown considerably! The problem with his supreme, works at fan base is anyone who takes the time to get attached to this little stubborn mule has other dogs, cats or digging post holes at children (or a spouse) that made it impossible to offer him a forever home. So Boomer stays, and waits. the shelter. And grins his grin, and gets frequent rides in the car with Marilyn and Laura, extra attention from Kristie and Caroline, occasionally walks in a parade, lounges by the pool in the summer, does not mind a stroll withDarrell on a frigid winter day, and waits. Over time and by a happy accident really, Boomer started to accept certain dogs as buddies. We were so proud of him when we could have him spend time in a play yard with another dog! And he agreed certain dogs were worthy enough to learn a thing or two from the “old timer.” He went from having no bedding, (he would tear it to tiny bits) to deciding cushy blankets are a good thing. Boomer loves his food, R: Laura but over the years had urinary issues which required him to be on a prescription diet. Another stumbling Lee cuddles block. He survived being heartworm positive in his youth, and like the energizer bunny just keeps on with one of ticking. Then there was the day his belly started to swell and he looked quite miserable. Emergency the shelter surgery followed to correct a stomach issue and remove his spleen. A week later, more trouble and residents after another emergency surgery. Guess who recovers like a rock star and lives to grin another day? the shelter dog So you see, we have been through a lot with Boomer and over the years he has become a dog we wash. assumed just may live with us forever. Or would he? Recently, along came a young couple who had been looking at his picture on our website for a long time and wondered why he does not get adopted. They came to meet him and Boomer thought they just might be “the ones.” They visited several times L: Julie and just kept coming to the conclusion that they would like to offer him a home, and we are happy to Schirado and have them give it a try.

As you may remember, Marley was rescued from the Tails of farm south of Jamestown where there were 50+ dogs. He was malnourished, and not socialized. CDHS did a fantastic job of making Marley healthy and ready for adoption. We found Marley on the website, and he has been a fantastic Success addition to our family. He is whip smart (and very crafty in getting what he wants). Blaze (formerly Worf) He is still very cautious around strangers, Hi everyone! It’s Worf...aka Blaze.

“Doing great things for pets and people.” 9 Focus On All Fours Successful Wine Tasting When the Right Person CDHS volunteers, with the help of the Harvest Brazilian Grill, put on another amazing wine-tasting event. The Wine and Dine for the Comes Along Canine and Feline attracted lovers of the vino, by Danielle Hanna, Shelter Staff Member and those who love CDHS as well. Attendees sampled many wines, and got to taste the Two cats and a Pomeranian didn’t constitute most wonderful appetizers. Silent auction a full house for Virginia O’Brien. “I just wanted baskets, CDHS apparel and beautiful jewelry another dog,” she says. “I think two’s always designs by Chris Koski all were a hit! The staff better than one all alone.” Her son-in-law at the Harvest Brazilian Grill could not have Todd Wahl was helping her find a new furry been more accommodating, and helped us companion when he saw a photo of a CDHS create a successful fundraiser for the pets. adoptable dog online. Virginia wanted a small dog, and Maximus the Chihuahua was about as small as they got. But Max’s personality was as big as a lion. I still remember when he arrived at the shelter. He warned me off with Mastiff-sized barks, but backed into the corner of his kennel. “I’ve been abused,” he said. “And I’m never letting that happen again.” A while later, he had a visit from the lady who found him as a stray. He stood up, folded his ears back, gazed up with Bambi eyes, and pumped his tail like he was trying to fly. In that moment, he let down his defenses and I realized there was a warm heart behind the armor. Our staff and regular volunteers gradually earned his trust, and Maximus became one of our favorites. Amongst people he knew, he acted like a champ. He strutted across the lawn with his head up and his chest puffed out and marked his territory on dandelion stems, the yellow heads waving at twice his height. But everyone outside of the staff and regular volunteers were still The Enemy to him—including potential adopters. I often despaired that we’d ever find him a home. Rub-A-Dub the Doggies But we have a mantra: “Someday, the right person will come along.” For Max, that someone was By the looks on some of the puppy faces, a lady who had room in her heart and a home for one more. you would think getting a bath was a terrible When Virginia and Todd came to the shelter, they saw Max right away in one of the play thing! Well, maybe some pooches don’t love yards. Virginia told her son-in-law matter-of-factly, “Todd, that’s the one I want.” When they it, but they sure got tender loving care from asked to meet him, staff handed him to Todd first. He remembers Max going rigid. But when the CDHS volunteers at the Rub-A-Dub-Doggie Todd handed him over to Virginia, Max turned into a dog none of us had ever seen before. “(He) just melted into her arms,” Todd remembers. It was the first time Max had accepted someone at Wash. Dogs were pampered with a wash, rinse first sight. and blow dry at Groomingdales in Mandan. In cases like these, the cats and dogs make our job of choosing the right person easy. After So, maybe a dog would rather not have a visiting Max twice and completing our application process, Virginia went home. “I think I was day at the spa, but the pet parents were all in the house a half hour when the phone rang,” she remembers. “They said, ‘Do you want to happy to take home their shiny, clean and come and get Max?’” Virginia laughed as she told me how she’d answered. “‘I sure do! I’ll be right sweet smelling pooches. Thank you to all our there.’ So I got my boy.” volunteers and to Groomingdales. Max was a dog with a small number of friends, who scared away anyone who would have opened their heart to him. Now he plays with Virginia’s grandkids and jumps into her friends’ laps. He’s also bonded closely with Virginia’s fifteen-year-old Pomeranian, Casino. He’s still shy around men, Todd included, but Todd doesn’t mind. “I understand,” he says, “he was abused, so I don’t push the issue with him.” When a dog can’t release his fears, the next best thing is a sympathetic friend. Max has now been living with Virginia for two years, and neither of them is looking back. They’re one more example why we stick to our mantra: “Someday the right person will come along.” Virginia couldn’t agree more. She concludes, with a smile in her voice, “I think Max found his home.”

www.cdhs.net An award winning alumni By Lauren M. Jose, formerly Sweet Briar, is a three-legged kitty that stole my heart the moment I saw him. I have always had a strong belief that rescue animals rescue us more than we rescue them. This is exactly what Jose did for me. I was struggling in life, and with a love for cats couldn’t wait till I was able to get one. I fell in love with Jose because of his personality and because of his disability. Jose is missing his back left leg but it doesn’t slow him down or make his life any less enjoyable. His spirit helped me work through my disability—anxiety. Jose is my anxiety cat and instantly became my best friend. He was there for me when others weren’t and taught me what true love is. I am now 100 percent in control of my anxiety and I owe a lot of my success to Jose. I can’t see life without him anymore. Because of my love for Jose and what he was able to do for me I chose to nominate him for the 2013 North Dakota Veterinary Association’s Hall of Fame “Companion of the Year” award. I told my story of our bond and how we were able to comfort each other and offer unconditional love. Jose was chosen as Companion of the Year and I instantly burst out in tears. The criteria for this award involved showing how a companion animal has gone above and beyond and has given selfless love to its owners. This is exactly what Jose has done. He has given me all his love and attention and he’s helped me become who I am today, anxiety free and loving life. I want to thank Central Dakota Humane Society for loving him, taking care of him and giving him a chance to share his love and worth with the world. I am the lucky one in this relationship. I was rescued by a rescue animal, and his name is Jose.
