3 PUCK’S PLACE — A SAFE HAVEN FOR CATS When Compassion, Determination and Hard Work Creates a Long-term Solution In mid-2015, a shy and sensitive cat we named Puck was surrendered to the Shelter. With a lot of love and attention, FOTAS volunteers were able to help socialize him and fi nd him a fur-ever home, or so we thought! He was adopted and returned a week later, but this time with ringworm, which is highly contagious to other cats, dogs, and even people! FOTAS volunteers wanted a happy ending for Puck, “He was adopted and so one of our volunteers took him home and and returned a isolated him in a kennel in her garage while treating him for ringworm (which takes months) with the help Puck fully recovered from ringworm and week later, but found a forever home. of another dedicated volunteer. Well, it didn’t take this time with long before a few FOTAS volunteers introduced the ringworm, which is idea of a “cottage” where Puck, and other special- highly contagious needs cats, could be treated off-site in a warm and safe to other cats, dogs, environment. and even people!” Within a month, a lovely cottage was built in the volunteer’s back yard, with special paint so that walls are easily and thoroughly sanitized, windows for fresh air and sunshine, and of course cat perches. And it’s movable, so the shed can be taken to another location, if needed. The good news is that Puck completely recovered and no other animals or humans contracted ringworm! Further good news is that we continue to house lucky feline residents to let them recover from surgery or illnesses in this lovely setting.
The bad news is that FOTAS needs some help paying for this new Generous FOTAS volunteers made Puck’s facility. Although some of the materials and labor were donated, we still Place come to life, and then nursed Puck (and others) back to adoptable status. need approximately $3,000 to pay off the building, and would greatly appreciate anything you can contribute to help pay for this on-going off- site recovery center!

Once she learned that Violet got along with cats, she drove down the next day. Stella and Violet had a good “meet and greet,” so she quickly found herself headed to Portland with her new family. A week later, her owner reported that Violet had settled in quite nicely. This former farm dog adapted to city life and quickly learned to ring a bell on the door handle when she wanted to go outside. Her new owner reports, “She gives us all lots of kisses, including my other dog and our cat too. She is a lovely dog and we are all so happy to have her in our family.” Link is so very grateful for his second chance for love.

DOGS LIVE TO PLAY! NOW LET THEM PLAY TO LIVE! Dogs Playing for Life (DPFL) is a program rooted in the notion that a dog’s natural instinct is to PLAY. Playing is a dog’s most natural form of positive interaction and communication with both humans and fellow canines. A dog at play provides the best opportunity to peer inside the canine soul and explore who the dog really is. DPFL is a nationally renowned, innovative training program that was founded by professional trainer Aimee Sadler. The Program demonstrates both the practical effi ciencies of play groups, as well as the emotional and behavioral benefi ts for the animals. Play groups have Shi Shi felt cherished and loved. proven to be a critical enrichment and assessment tool for shelters.
