To be motivated, homeless pets in public venues where people people had so see the wonderful pets in need would see the faces of Chicago’s sweet, loving of homes—their hearts had to be touched. cats and dogs. For decades, tens of thousands of Angels with Tails was born with the rationale homeless pets were killed each year in Chicago, that bringing thousands of people to shelters and very few in the general public were aware to see sad animals behind bars was a difficult of this practice.

As this issue of Angel Tales is released, PAWS Chicago is putting the ﬁnishes on its new home: the Lincoln Park Adoption Center that promises to transform the concept of “animal shelter”. The days of walking down row after row of small cages with steel bars, echoing barking, bad smells, and sad faces are in the past, as the PAWS Chicago Adoption Center ushers in the new way of sheltering. Here is a sneak preview of the design of the PAWS Adoption Center.

2007 Layout Part 1.indd 12 5/18/07 10:51:03 AM On September 8th, PAWS Chicago will welcome the public to an open house, and animal lovers who walk through the front door will be flooded by natural light from the curtainwall of windows that surrounds the Petco Welcome Center. Large wood trusses scale the Center, thirty feet above, giving the feeling of a farm in the city. Fitting for the location, since in the late 1800’s, the building was first erected as a stable to hold the horses belonging to the workers of the metalworks shop next door. In the center of the lobby is a three-sided fireplace, and further back, for Homeless Pets, PAWS Volunteers, and Adopters on a rear wall of the Counseling Center, is the original barn door recovered from the site before demolition and restored for the new adoption center.

Although the only current cure for pet allergies and asthma is avoidance, this advice is rarely followed. After all Kitty and Fido are “Family”. If the animals are sent packing, their allergens, or proteins, remain in the home for 3-4 months. If the pets stay and you leave, it takes about 10-14 days to feel better. But there are ways to help reduce the symptoms and effects of allergies and asthma. Since cat allergens come from saliva and skin and dog allergens come from skin, basic upkeep–such as frequent bathing, hepa filters/vacuuming, and keeping the animals out of the bedroom–can often help ameliorate allergies and asthma by minimizing allergens in the home and air. But what are the treatment options? A simple goal is to lead a normal life on safe medications. These include non-sedating antihistamines, and often, a topical steroid nasal spray. The steroid nasal sprays are safe (not absorbed significantly into the body) and FDA approved for use by children. There is also a prescription antihistamine nasal spray called Astelin available. When an allergic non-animal owner visits a home with animals, pre-medication with a non-sedating antihistamine and Nasacrom nasal spray is recommended. Nasal/sinus irrigation with saline twice daily can also be beneficial. Asthma treatment varies based on severity and is best guided by an allergist. Treatment includes both rescue and controller medications with regular monitoring by patient and physician. For those resistant to medical management, allergy shots are PAWS rescues, Jan & Cindy an option. In a severe cat or dog asthmatic patient removing So, don’t suffer.

In order to reduce the allergen levels in your home, you’ll need to isolate and address each source before you’ll see improvements.

• Give yourself some space with an allergy-free zone. Pick one spot in your home where pets are not allowed, and be sure clothes carrying pet dander are not left in your allergy-free room. Use a high-efﬁciency HEPA air cleaner (available at almost any home and garden store) in the room and throughout the home if possible.

As Director of Operations Stop the Killing for the San Francisco SPCA, Winograd was instrumen- tal in advancing some of the most progressive shelter programs in the nation, and helped establish the first No Kill city. By making a commitment to stop the killing as Executive Director for the Tompkins County (NY) SPCA, he put programs in place that took Tompkins County No Kill. He has since formed No Kill Solutions, a national consulting group to help communities throughout the country move towards No Kill status.

2007 Layout Part 2.indd 2 5/23/07 11:06:16 AM WHY TRANSPARENCY? No Kill Model By Rich Avanzino Richard Avanzino built the first No Kill city as Executive Director of the San Francisco SPCA. In 1999, he became the first President of Maddie’s Fund, a family foundation funded by PeopleSoft founder Dave Duffield, and his wife, Cheryl, to help create a No Kill nation.

With transparency as one of the most important ways to bring forth public awareness about the reality that homeless pets face, Maddie’s Fund requires all shelters within a city to work together and report detailed statistics of their data, including the number of animals taken in, the number adopted out, and the number killed. This requirement has prevented many communities from getting grants, because many traditional shelters have historically not wanted to disclose their data. Here, Avanzino elaborates on the importance of transparency to the No Kill model.

Transparency is one of the cornerstones of the PAWS rescue, Stripes Maddie’s Fund philosophy.

2007 Layout Part 2.indd 4 5/23/07 11:06:41 AM (Continuation of Why Transparency?) The Dog Days of Summer Tips for Keeping Pets Safe and Cool in the Heat

Provide plenty of water and shade for your pets while they are outdoors. Light colored pets can get sunburned, so apply sunscreen on nose and ear tips as necessary. Exercise is best either in early morning or evening hours. Keep in mind that hot asphalt burns pet’s paws.

Don’t leave pets in parked cars for ANY period of time. Dogs and cats cannot perspire and can only dispel heat by panting and through the pads in their feet. It takes just a few minutes for temperatures in a parked car, even with the windows cracked open, to reach 120 degrees. If you see an animal in a parked car, immediately alert nearby store management or call the police.

Be particularly cautious when running your pet in the heat. Each summer, there are many instances of well-intentioned pet owners jogging their dogs to death, since dogs do not show warning signs when overheating. Be sure to stop frequently to allow your pet to rest, cool down, and drink plenty of water.

Remember that summer is ﬂea and tick season and your pet deserves to be protected from these threats to their health. Use only vet approved products to reduce the risk to your pet.

Dog bites rise in the summer months as people and their pets are outside more often. Spaying or neutering your pet reduces the risk that they will bite and also provides many other health beneﬁts.

Don’t take your pets to crowded summer events like concerts or fairs. Loud noises, heat and crowds are very stressful to your pets. Fourth of July ﬁreworks are especially dangerous for your pets as the noise hurts their sensitive ears so leaving them safely at home is the best idea.

City Agency Thrives Under Kent’s Leadership

Mayor Daley appointed Anne Kent to Director of Animal Care & Control, Chicago’s municipal impoundment agency, in 2004. Since Kent’s arrival, the department has seen tremendous transformation, resulting in more lives saved and safer neighborhoods. Kent immediately implemented tangible goals for every Animal Control duty, setting the bar high to increase adoptions, transfers, redemptions, and the number of strays picked up off the streets, while seeking to decrease euthanasia. Goals had never been set in the department before. Additionally, Kent has developed a wonderful culture and a very positive attitude in her agency. She has recruited quality personnel who work well with the hundreds of shelter and rescue partners in the region. Under Kent’s leadership, Animal Control has developed a team spirit, streamlined processes to make the transfer process simpler by designating a room of pets available for immediate transfer, expediting the process and reducing the bureaucratic workload for shelters to get animals out. “What PAWS supporters express their appreciation to Mayor Daley by attending a fundraiser. Above, Mayari Pritzker, Rochelle Michalek, Paula Fasseas, Mayor Richard Daley, and was a long, laborious effort to transfer animals has been greatly Anne Kent are with PAWS rescue Scottie. reduced,” said Kira Robson, PAWS Chicago intake manager. “Which means we spend more time on lifesaving work.”

The woman behind the budgets and operations, Rochelle Michalek, is no stranger to business. After a 20-year tenure in the corporate world, 17 of them with Motorola, Michalek joined the PAWS team in early 2004, and has managed PAWS programs during the or- �� ganization’s intense period of growth. As Executive Director of �� Operations, Michalek works closely with the Board of Directors. �� She is responsible for implementing the Board’s vision for the �� organization, and she is accountable for managing operations so �� that PAWS Chicago meets its goals on all fronts—which means �� Michalek manages a wide range of departments, from the Lurie �� Spay/Neuter Clinic to the adoption program to volunteers to �� humane education. �� At Motorola, Michalek worked in product management, operations and process management, organizational alignment, strategy, and financial planning. In 2002, she received her MBA from Kellogg’s Executive Program. That year, she was also recognized as a part of “Top 50 Future Leadership Initiative” at Motorola. Her career was taking off, she was part of one of the great American companies, and even more opportunity was coming her way...but she wanted more: “I realized that I wanted to have an impact on society and make a difference – even if it was in a small way.” She began volunteering at PAWS Chicago and the experience changed the direction of her life. Michalek was attracted to PAWS Chicago because of its “No Kill” philosophy, its solution based approach to animal welfare, and its belief in educating and partnering with the community to help make a difference in the lives of animals. After volunteering for about 6 months, Michalek was driven to apply for the Director of Operations position for three reasons: passion, social responsibility, and personal fulfillment. She saw the impact PAWS Chicago was having and wanted to become part of the team. She has not looked back. Michalek said that “the benefit of being able to use my skills and talents to make a long-term difference in something that is very important to me” outweighs the sacrifice of leaving the corporate salaries and benefits. “There is nothing more rewarding than giving an animal a second chance. All of the animals in our program are strays, or have been abandoned by their owners. PAWS Chicago makes a life time commitment to cats and dogs in our program - they will never be without hope again. She stays motivated by the animals that are saved and the people who have joined the effort.

Twiggy and Catmandu Rudloff by The Wiese Family Th e Hound Shep by Tom Root Animal lovers truly understand the universal laws of Hahho Weinstein by Daisy Sorkin karma—by giving so much of ourselves to defenseless, voiceless pets, we receive so much more in return. A small Maltese named Mimi contributed so much to the lives of her rescuers. She brought Angie and Bill to the fi rst Fur Ball in 2002, prompting their involvement with PAWS Chicago. (Mimi never missed a PAWS party!) In the ensuing fi ve years, the DeMars have become leaders in the PAWS community, �� co-chairing the last two Fur Balls, volunteering, and now Angie has been elected to the PAWS Board of Directors. �� As Angie said, “I realized through Mimi that I wanted to be involved with a worthwhile organization that would not only �� rescue animals, but would do so by providing good quality of �� life and always fi nding ways to do more for the animals.” Mimi inspired Angie’s �� entrepreneurism, guiding �� her to buy Noah’s Ark Pet Supply in Winnetka �� in March of 2003, and �� bringing a tremendous pet resource to the North �� Shore. Hundreds of PAWS pets have found homes �� through Noah’s Ark. �� Thousands more will fi nd �� homes through Mimi’s �� Room in the new PAWS �� Chicago Adoption & Humane Center in Lincoln Park. �� Mimi, you will be greatly missed by all at PAWS, but your �� memory continues to help the homeless pets of Chicago and �� beyond. �� 62
