PET ADOPTION CENTER FREE AND CLEAR

We are so excited to let our supporters know that at the end of 2016, we crossed a major hurdle and paid off the mortgage on our Pet Adoption Center! HSCI moved into the Kays Drive facility in the spring of 2006.

At our annual gala in May last

year, many of you helped us with a big part of this during the Fund-a-Need portion of the program, donating $35,000 to our need. While the mortgage payment is behind us, the Pet Adoption Center still needs updates

and upkeep to keep it running efficiently for proper care of our pets awaiting their forever homes. But it sure is nice to have this particular financial burden behind us! You have all been a part of helping us accomplish our goal. Thank you!

2HSCI Paw Prints – Winter 2017

ALPHA•NOTESI hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and New Year’s this year as we start off 2017. Our goal as always is to provide a forever home for as many

pets as possible this year. Your help and generosity allows us to accomplish this task year after year.

As we start the new year, I’d like to specifically thank all of those who donated to our Fund-A-Need at last year’s auction. In case you don’t remember, that money was earmarked toward paying off our mortgage on the building. With that money, plus some other recent donations, I am proud to announce that we have completely paid our mortgage off. While we still have ongoing maintenance, including some projects that we are working on right now, having the mortgage paid off will allow us to put an even larger percentage towards animal care.

So thanks once again for your continued support and don’t forget to mark your calendars for our 7th annual auction on May 20th.

How to Care for Outdoor Cats in WinterShelter, food and water are especially important to feral and stray cats in cold weather by HUMANE SOCIETY OF THE UNITED STATES

As the weather gets colder, you may worry about the cats you see around your neighborhood. They may be pets whose owners let them outside, or they could be community cats, a group that includes ferals (who are afraid of people) and strays (who’ve been lost or abandoned). No matter how resourceful these outdoor cats are, they need help surviving winter.If you’ve got time to help, the kitties will thank you! Follow these tips to help your local outdoor cats during the cold months.

Yes, their thickened winter coats help feral and stray cats weather winter’s chill, but they still need warm, dry, well-insulated and appropriate-sized shelters. It’s cheapest to build your own, and there are many plans and instructions that can help you get started.

How to get help building your outdoor-cat shelterA shelter-building party can be a fun weekend project! Ask your friends, neighbors and coworkers to join in. Try contacting local youth groups to find out if they will help build shelters as a service project.

Where to find materials?You may find inexpensive or free materials by asking building-supply stores or contractors if they have scrap lumber. Ask friends, neighbors and coworkers for used dog houses, which can be modified to make good shelters. You can even use a storage bin from the local hardware store.

Creating a life-saving shelter for outdoor cats can be easy and inexpensive.

Why size matters with cat sheltersA shelter must trap the cats’ body heat to warm its interior. If the shelter is too large, it will be difficult for the cats’ body heat to keep the space warm.

What to put in your outdoor cat shelter• Straw allows cats to burrow. • Pillowcases loosely stuffed with packing peanuts and shredded newspaper also work.

Keep things cleanReplace straw and newspaper if moist or dirty, and wash and re-stuff pillowcases as needed.

However, if it’s really cold where you live and you can’t check on the shelters regularly, don’t use the above insulations. Instead, “wallpaper” the shelter’s inner walls and floor with Mylar. It reflects back body heat, and it’s okay for cats to lie on it.

What NOT to put in your outdoor-cat shelterDon’t use blankets, towels or folded newspaper; they absorb body heat and chill cats who are lying on them. Forego hay, too, which may irritate noses and cause allergic reactions.

Give outdoor cats food and waterWhere to place food and waterProtect outdoor cats from hunger and thirst this winter by keeping their food and water from freezing.

If you can do so without compromising the privacy and security of the shelter, place food and water near the shelter so the cats won’t have to travel far.

One way to protect food and water is to place two shelters—doorways facing each other—two feet apart. Then create a canopy between them by securing a wide board from one roof to the other. Then put the food and water under the canopy.

How to keep outdoor cats’ food and water from freezingWhat you put food and water in can make a difference. A thick plastic water container that’s deep and wide is better-insulated than a thin plastic or ceramic container. A solar-heated water bowl can prevent or delay water and canned food from freezing.

If shelters are well-insulated, you can put bowls of dry or moist food inside them, far from the doorway. Even if the moist food freezes, the cats’ body heat will defrost it when they hunker down in their shelter.

Don’t put water bowls inside the shelter. Water is easily spilled, and a wet shelter will feel more like a refrigerator than a warm haven. You’ll find suggestions for keeping water from freezing at the Neighborhood Cats website.

To TNR or not to TNR community cats in winter?Don’t attempt TNR activities in the winter unless you can return the cats to a warm shelter.

People may be concerned about performing trap-neuter-return during winter because they worry about releasing females who have had their stomachs shaved for surgery. But winter trapping has its advantages. There are far fewer pregnant cats, which makes for a less complicated surgery, and you’ll prevent the births of many kittens come spring, when the majority are born.

Before you start winter trapping, however, you must ensure that the cats will have adequate shelter when you return them to their territory. If you’ve followed the directions above, they’ll be in good shape.

Pre-adoption Pup Prep by MARTIN ROSS

Human/canine communication crucial to stress-free relationshipsHungarian researchers revealed recently that dogs understand far more comprehensively what we think, how we think, and the subtle differences in how we communicate those thoughts.

Veteran trainer Julie Collins nonetheless emphasizes “a dog is a dog,” not a mind reader. An effective canine/human relationship “starts with communication and respect both ways,” according to Collins, a competition/obedience coordinator with Bloomington’s Town and Country Kennel Club.

“If my dog tries but makes a mistake, it’s not fair for me to withhold rewards or give him negative corrections,” she asserts. “I need to give him feedback that, ‘No, that was not the right choice – let’s try that again.’ We can’t expect them to do things they can’t understand, or to keep changing the rules. We have to be very consistent in giving them information so they can be successful.”

Collins recommends posting a glossary of standard commands to use in acclimating a rescue dog to its new environment, ideally in a common space such as on a kitchen

fridge whiteboard. “Everyone in the household has to use the same word,” she insists.

Development of effective communication tools is but one component of pre-adoption prep. Collins deems crate training “extremely important” and urges new owners buy a size-appropriate crate for both home training and transportation. She argues a secured crate is far safer in a vehicle than a canine car seat: In the event of a driver distraction or collision, a loose or even seated dog “can become a projectile,” endangering itself and family members.

The home crate is crucial both as a potty-training tool and as “a safe place” – a haven from children, animals, or houseguests and a means for containing a pet while owners are out, during household projects, or while entertaining canine-aversive guests. A crate designed primarily for toilet training generally is “on the snug side,” she notes: “The idea is that the dog doesn’t want to soil its den.”

As the dog matures, a larger crate will be needed, but a compartmentalized crate with a removable divider can enable owners to transition more seamlessly from housebreaking to containment and comfort. A crated animal should be able to stand without its shoulder blades touching the top bars and lie comfortably on its side. Larger crates are recommended for dogs crated over longer periods, so they can lie in multiple positions and stretch out, Collins relates.

“A crate may look to you like a canine jail cell, but to a dog, who instinctively likes to ‘den,’ it’s a room of his own,” Humane Society of Central Illinois Development Director Madonna Courtright advises. “However, you won’t want to crate your dog all day or night, or he will consider it a cell.”

Further, the adoptive family needs a flat collar with a secure point of attachment for a lead, and not one but several leads for various activities. That may include a basic six-foot leather lead, as well as a retractable lead and an additional leash for the car. Baby gates between rooms can expand a smaller dog’s safe homebound range, and a variety

of toys help maintain canine interest levels and respect for household belongings.

“Your choices are going to depend a little bit on the personality, the size of the dog,” Collins suggests. “They usually like to have something to chew. It has to be safe to chew. Watch out for ‘squeaks,’ little parts that come off. The best thing is just to ask your vet what they would recommend. Then you want something to play with with humans, whether it’s a ball or a disc or something you can play tug with.”

WHAT THEY SHOULD HAVE TOLD ME BEFORE I RESCUED MY PIT BULL by ASHLEY GULA

Breed EducationThis article will focus on common breeds, misconceptions and personality traits that are

important to know before adopting or condemning a specific breed.

They said, “He’s strong, about 67 pounds, and he’s a puller but with some training he’ll be great.” Okay, I thought. Easy enough. But what they should have told me was something entirely different. What

they should have told me was this:• This is an adventure.• Welcome to the best years

of your life.

Where misconceptions, stereotypes and judgments are now personal attacks against not only someone you love dearly but you, yourself. And how you will feel like it is your personal mission to show the world how his “kind” is completely misunderstood.

Then you will read up on all the facts and statistics about Pit Bulls and realize half of what people believe is completely false or terribly misconstrued. Like pits having lock-jaw? False. Pits are born aggressive. False. Pits have stronger jaws than Rottweilers. False. Pits don’t make good family pets. FALSE.

Also, in the midst of being accepted into his pack, you will learn what loyalty really means. You will also know what it feels like to be scared half to death every single time your doorbell rings before explaining to your mailman, “He’s nice, I swear! Sorry... thanks for the — sorry again.” Then you both will laugh, well, you will and he will look at you proudly, expecting a treat.

You will also walk with a little extra bounce in your step because this powerful, gentle giant stands beside you. You will feel a kind of pride you’ve yet to experience because you know you’re not only doing your baby justice but you’re part of the millions who are pleading for the rest of the world to give these amazing creatures a chance.

But sadly, your heart will break every time you hear about a Pit Bull who has landed in the hands of a wrong person or found himself in an awful situation. Whether it was dog fighting or an abusive owner or left tied to a park bench with nothing

but a blanket. Your heart will break because you will come to understand the heart of a Pit Bull. Your heart will break because you will experience the love they, without question, give and with every tear you cry from hearing these awful stories, you will wish you could end it all.

Then you will feel incredibly grateful. Because this guy is yours and you are his and that’s something that can’t ever be taken away. Even if you don’t believe in a God above, this bond will feel like it was magically planned many moons ago, where the stars aligned perfectly and placed you two exactly where you needed to be to find one another. And you will be so blessed.

You will learn the frustration you feel when he is destroying your kid’s toys or eating food he’s not supposed to or barking when you wish he wouldn’t, fades quickly. That snuggling has now taken on a whole new meaning called: all over you, all the time, no matter what. And now you make it a point to never appear to do anything that could look like you’d be hitting him because seeing him duck his head out of fear hurts. You will also learn when he’s sticking his big head out your car window to expect one of two responses — a dirty look or a smile and nod. You learn you’ll smile in both cases.

...I RESCUED MY PIT BULL continued

Nobody tells you your heart will change. But it does. You judge less. You care more. You learn how to accept life a heck of a lot better than before. You learn how to forgive and how to let go and how to live in the moment.

They should have told me I was going to learn how to love better. That loving this Pit Bull was going to change my whole life. And that he would make us so so happy!

But chances are I wouldn’t have believed them anyhow. I guess it was something I had to learn on my own, with this guy.

IT’S COLD – KEEP MOVING! by BOB RYDER, PMCT, CPDT-KA

As I mentioned in a previous article, one of my favorite training proverbs says, “A tired dog is a well behaved dog.” Conversely, a dog who is bored and bustling with pent up energy is a problem waiting to happen.

Exercising our dogs can be challenging when it’s too cold to get outside for your usual games of fetch, playing at the dog park, or going for a long walk. So here are some ideas we use with our energetic Labrador during the winter.First, STOP feeding from the bowl. Instead, let your dog work for her food. There are several options you can use to feed your dog that will also offer mental and/or physical exercise. Use her food as rewards for learning/practicing tricks, learning to maneuver an obstacle course between furniture, finding hidden pieces with her nose – all are great for burning off energy.

Mix his kibble with some canned pumpkin, applesauce, or plain Greek yogurt, stuff it into a Kong, freeze it and let him work on it for a meal. This will give him the benefit of chewing as well as working to figure out how to excavate the meal. You can also use other food toys to increase mental stimulation to their meals (food balls, slow bowls, etc.).

Tug-of-war is a great energy burner. Have your dog sit, and reward with permission to grab the toy and play tug. Offer a treat, and when she lets go of the toy, drop it on the ground for her to pick up. Lather, rinse, repeat.

If you have stairs in your home, toss a few kibble pieces down the stairs and have your dog run down to get them. Recall him back upstairs and repeat. He’ll get her full meal and get lots of exercise.

If running the stairs is too vigorous for your dog, try tying a squeaky toy to a string and let her chase it around in a room with some open space. Remember to let her catch the toy frequently, and trade her a treat for the toy. Have her sit to start the game again.

Have a treadmill? Teach your dog to trot on it. Begin with the treadmill off and let him collect treats on the still belt, then add a bit of motion little by little until he is comfortable walking, then trotting.
