How Your Gifts Gave River Help and Hope How Your Gifts Gave River Help and Hope From Frostbite on the Rideau to Warmth With a Family one-year-old male cat, which the Ottawa Humane Society (OHS) named River, had a horrible day during a A bitter cold snap in January. Somehow he ended up on the frozen Rideau River, with his face, paws and tail wounded. Thankfully, the Ottawa Fire Services were able to rescue River and rush him to a nearby animal hospital. This poor kitty was soaking wet and suff ering from hypothermia. He received immediate treatment to warm and dry him off before he was transferred to the OHS. River was in sad shape. Underweight and dehydrated, he had an oozing, pus-fi lled abscess on his forehead. His paws were sore and swollen, and he had a severe wound on his tail, both injuries from frostbite. Despite his harrowing ordeal and wounds, he had many purrs and greatly enjoyed his food! He was given subcutaneous fl uids to help him hydrate, pain medication to keep him comfortable, and antibiotics to treat his abscess. Unfortunately, one-third of his tail had to be amputated at the same time he was neutered. Despite his ordeal, River continued to purr loudly as his healing continued. River, while still under the care of the OHS, went home as a Foster-Me-First adoption, where his new foster family cared for him while he fi nished up his required medical treatment, prior to his offi cial adoption. Because of you, we are glad to report that River is living happily and is healthy in his new forever home. All this accomplished because of you.

Tests showed that she suff ered from “juvenile cellulitis”, an uncommon skin condition that aff ects young puppies. The condition leaves dogs lethargic with decreased energy levels if left untreated. As the disease progresses, the rash on the skin becomes worse, and a dog’s lymph nodes will swell and may rupture. Nala’s treatment relied on steroids, antibiotics, and anti- itch medications. She needed to be quarantined in a foster volunteer’s home as she could not have vaccinations until her treatment was complete.

Watt, B.A. Department of Philosophy Submitted in partial fulfillment Of the requirements for the degree of Master alArts Faculty of Humanities, Brock University St. Catharines, Ontario © July, 2006 cMMEs AGIBSON LIBRARY BlOCK UNIVERSITY 8f.OO'HAIUNES ON Abstract This thesis explores the comparison utilitarianism and Buddhist ethics as they can be applied to animal research. It begins by examining some of the general discussions surrounding the use of animals in research. The historical views on the moral status of animals, the debate surrounding their use in animals, as well as the current 3R paradigm and its application in Canadian research are explored. The thesis then moves on to expound the moral system of utilitarianism as put forth by Jeremy Bentham and John Stuart Mill, as well as contemporary additions to the system. It also looks at the basics of Buddhist ethics well distinguishing the Mahayana from the Therevada. Three case studies in animal research are used to explore how both systems can be applied to animal research. It then offers a comparison as to how both ethical systems function within the field of animal research and explores the implications in their application on its practice.

    50 Things You May Not Know about the Ottawa Humane Society 1. The Ottawa Humane Society is a very old organization. The OHS was founded in 1888, as the Women's Humane Society. Last year was our 125th Anniversary. 2. We are the parent of the Children's Aid Society. The OHS was founded to protect the welfare of animals and children. The Children's Aid Society branched off from the OHS several years later. 3. The Ottawa Humane Society is a not-for-profit and a registered charity. We are governed by a board of 14. 4. The OHS may be bigger than you think. Last year, our regular staff compliment was 102 full- and part-time staff. (Though almost half are part-time.) Our budget is $6.2 million. Nearly two-thirds of this comes from donors and supporters. 5. The OHS is now located at 245 West Hunt Club Many people still don't know that we relocated in June 2011. 6. West Hunt Club is the OHS's fourth shelter. The first was built on Mann Avenue in 1933. 7. The new OHS West Hunt Club shelter is more than three times the size of the old Champagne Ave. Shelter. Despite its size, one month after it opened in June 2011, the new shelter was full. 8. The OHS cares for over 10,000 animals every year.

  • 2019 Biennial Compensation and Benefits Survey EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Information Submitted on Or Before May 7, 2020
    2019 Biennial Compensation and Benefits Survey EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Information Submitted on or before May 7, 2020 I N T R O D U C T I O N A N D I N S I G H T S Organizations in the field of animal welfare employ a unique workforce with distinctive expertise in leadership, organizational governance, animal protection, animal cruelty investigation, behavior rehabilitation, veterinary care, adoption, fundraising, advocacy, human resources, finance, community education and collaboration. Although compensation and benefits surveys exist for many industries, no salary study is compatible with the knowledge and skills needed for mastery of animal welfare. For that reason, The Association for Animal Welfare Advancement (The Association) leadership were compelled to begin collecting data in 2003 (based on FY 2002 data). Since 2003, animal welfare services have evolved: adoption is no longer the main activity at animal care facilities as the numbers of homeless dogs and cats have declined in many regions; community needs have altered; collaborations and mergers have increased; and, animal focused legislation has fluctuated. In response, animal care facilities models continue to adapt to community and animal needs. Consequently The Association volunteer leadership continually reviews the compensation and benefits survey adding or altering job descriptions and accessing needs for additional decision making data. For instance, the effect on salary of those achieving Certified Animal Welfare Administrator (CAWA) status; or, being a male/female in the same role are now studied. In 2019 the first “digital” survey was launched, based on FY 2018 data, allowing participants to instantly compare their data with other regions and budget size over a variety of key performance indicators.
