Greetings
Winter 2011
from the shelter!
By Christin Klimek, LAHS Director
"Saving one animal won't change the world.....
but it will change the world for that one animal."
The quote above is an excellent reminder to those of us who many times feel as though
we aren’t making a big enough impact in the world of animal welfare. It is so easy to see
the statistics and feel frustrated and sometimes even defeated. It is estimated that 6 to 8
million animals enter animal shelters in the US annually, and that of those, approximately 50% are euthanized due to lack of space and adoptive homes. While this number
is extremely sobering, we need to know that a difference is being made. In 1970, the
number of estimated animals euthanized in shelters was 23.4 million. This means that all
the hard work put forth by animal welfare workers and volunteers IS making a HUGE
difference.
Part of the LAHS’s mission is to promote responsible pet care and ownership. A significant part of this is educating the public on the importance of having their pets altered.
We have been fortunate to have received special grant funding from the Curran Foundation to assist residents of our county have their female pets spayed. Since the program’s inception in August of 2006, over 2800 pets have been spayed! Having these
animals spayed may potentially have prevented thousands of unwanted cats and dogs,
thus making a huge impact on overpopulation in our community .
We are hopeful that we can sustain this program well into the future and are seeking
ways to do so as our current funding may be coming to an end. Besides applying for
additional grant monies from other sources, the LAHS would like to see Douglas
County instate a $1 per capita fee assessed on annual taxes that would provide over
$30,000 annually. 100% of the monies collected would go directly to cover the spay
procedures and the LAHS would continue to do the
administration of the program at no additional cost. If
you would like more information about this funding
option, please feel free to contact me! If you are supportive of the idea, please contact your County Commissioner and let him or her know that it is important
and you would like them to support it as well.
Together we can continue to make a difference, one
animal at a time!
MN SNAP,
Mobile Spay Unit Visited our shelter in November
and March of this past year…. providing 69 spays
and 26 neuters to pet owners unable to shoulder
the cost on their own. LAHS will be hosting them
again in the spring. To find out more about their services go to www.mnsnap.org.
Fundraising Success….
A Hypnotic Halloween...
On October 28th, the Lakes Area Humane Society held it’s
3rd Annual “Hypnotic Halloween” fundraising event at the
Holiday Inn. The festivities began with social hour, treats and a
silent auction, with a large number of items donated by many
generous local businesses and individuals!
The highlight of the night was the hilarious hypnosis show
provided by Randy Buker, certified hypnotist with Dream
Weaver Comedy Hypnosis. The guest and participants has a
fantastic time during the hypnosis show, which was entertaining from the beginning to the very end!
The evening was wrapped up with a costume contest for all ages. Those who wanted to show off their
costumes and creatively had a chance to win great prizes.
Over $2300 was raised for the shelter! The LAHS wishes to extend a HUGE thank you to Randy and
Dreamer Weaver Comedy Hypnosis Show for the donation of his services and also to the Holiday Inn for
the donation of space for the event!
Alexandria 5K/10K Run...
The Lakes Area Humane Society held it’s 5th Annual
“Alexandria 5K/10K Run” event on September 18th, which
brought over 345 individuals to participate in the 5K, 10K, 1K
Kid’s Run and Dog Walk!
The event was held at Big Ole Park in Alexandria and the route
was certified and sanctioned by the US Track & Field Association.
All runners were provided with timing chips to record their official
times. Participants in the 5K, 10K and Dog Walk received a
commemorative t-shirt and drinks/snacks were provided as well.
Runners finishing in the top three of each event in their age
category received medals or ribbons. All children participating in
the 1K run, received medals and water bottles.
Over $3,600 was raised for the shelter! Special thanks to all the
volunteers who help to make this a successful event.

Location/Contact
Payton Olson recently celebrated her 9th birthday and
rather than accepting gifts for herself, she asked everyone
that came to her party to bring something to donate to the
animals cared for by the shelter! Here’s a great picture of
Payton with all the fantastic supplies she received..she was
so excited to bring them in to the shelter and share with
the animals. THANK YOU Payton!

A HUGE thank you to the
Osakis Girl Scout Troop # 821!
As a service project, the girls did a food and supply drive
for the animals at their schools. They also made fantastic
colorful fleece tied beds and blankets for the adoptive
animals to take to their new homes!

“Kandis”
adopted by
Paul S.
We adopted “Allie” from your shelter a
few months ago for our daughter. Allie
is a great fit for our family and they
are best friends! We love her and we
thank you for taking such good care of
the animals you put up for adoption.
~The Dreher Family
“Wrigley” is doing
great here! I couldn’t
be more happy with
him! Thanks so much!

In August, my wife and I were in Alex visiting a friend and
happened to see a couple beagles that you had. The little female
stole my heart and we adopted her. We have named her Sunshine because she really brightens up our days, we really love
her. She is so fun to watch and play with
and her nose is always getting her into
mischief. Thanks for all that you do to
take care of the dogs and cats!
~The Hamlin’s
“Sunshine” showing
off her new coat
and snuggling with
her kitty friend!
Thank you for providing a
place for animals like “Sasha”
who are needing new homes.
We were so happy to have
found her for our family.

In the Know….Pet Food Safety
In the past couple of years, pet food safety has become a significant concern with the numerous pet food
and treat recalls. To keep up to date with the latest recall information, you can go to the following links
provided by the American Veterinary Medical Association and the Federal Food & Drug Administration:
http://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/newpetfoodrecalls/
http://www.avma.org/petfoodsafety/recalls/default.asp
If you find that the food or treats that you are
currently feeding your pet are listed on the recall list,
discontinue feeding and contact your veterinarian.
