An Animal Hero Named Mickie
When Mickie Dobrusin was getting ready for her Bat Mitzvah,
she wanted her invitations to request donations be made
to her two favorite charities ‑ the Humane Society of Huron
Valley (HSHV) and Operation Smile. Mickie loves animals
and she doesn’t think people understand the plight of
animals that end up in shelters, so she hoped she could
do her part to make a difference.
Mickie’s love of animals is apparent as soon as
you meet her. When she visited HSHV last
month she almost had her father talked into
the kitten she is holding in this picture. Mickie
already has two cats (Ozzie and Spot) and a
yellow lab named Benny who is an alumni
of HSHV. Mickie has raised over $3,100 in
donations and wants to thank everyone who
supports her wish to help homeless animals.

The mission of the Humane Society of Huron
Valley is to support the loving, responsible care of
all animals in our community.
HSHV serves all of Washtenaw County,
providing:
• Shelter and care for stray and
unwanted animals
• Adoption of companion animals
• Full-service veterinary clinic, including
low-cost spay and neuter services
• 24-hour rescue of injured animals
• Cruelty investigations
• Microchip ID
• Trap, Neuter & Return (TNR)
• Owner-requested euthanasia
• Harbor program
• Community outreach and education
• Behavior Helpline
Unleash the Possibilities - We Need Your Help
Our current shelter, originally built in 1951, is dilapidated and overcrowded,
and suffers from inadequate cleaning systems, air quality, and noise control.
The dark and dank feel repels potential adopters, and the overall conditions
make the work of dedicated volunteers and staff very difficult.
With your help, we are determined to
build a modern facility - one that will allow
HSHV to be a model of best practices in
animal sheltering, prevention services, and
community support - one that will save more
lives and give more animals a second chance
at finding loving, lifelong homes.
There are many ways you can help:
- Donate a dollar a day for one year
- Buy a brick on our “Path of Love” in honor or memory of a loved one or pet
- Make a donation that can be paid over four years
Please go to www.unleashthepossibilities.net to see how you can be a part
of this exciting time in the history of the Humane Society of Huron Valley
and make a difference for the homeless animals in our community. For more

SHELTER LIFE • SUMMER 2008
Rocky’s Story - A Real Champion
Maybe you have heard about Rocky - the
down and out boxer who overcame adversity
to prove his place in the world? Well, we’d
like to tell you about another Rocky, a
spunky one year old Shepherd/Corgi mix.
Rocky was picked up as a stray and
returned to his owners 5 days later, but it
turned out that his owners didn’t really want
him back. Within an hour after picking him
up, he was discarded and found by the side
of the road in medical distress. Rocky was
assisted by a kind stranger and brought to
HSHV’s Clinic by the Rescue Team where
he received extensive treatment for severe
head and leg injuries. Determined to give
this happy guy another chance, HSHV gave
him the care and love he needed.
Rocky went to foster care and it wasn’t long until he stood up and walked
on his own. Today, Rocky has made a full recovery, aside from a little tilt in his
head and quirk in his step, and has been adopted by a loving family.
Heat, Cars and Pets Can Be a Dangerous Combination
Many dog tails begin to wag when they hear “Wanna
go for a car ride?” However, travelling with pets
during the summer months can be dangerous because
120 o
heatstroke can happen quickly.
Common sense tells most people that leaving their
pet inside a parked vehicle on a hot, summer day is the
100o
wrong thing to do. Still, many people think they can just
90 o
run into the store for 15 minutes and everything will be
80 o
fine. What most people need to realize is that the inside
70 o
temperature can skyrocket after just a few minutes.
60 o
Parking in the shade or leaving the windows cracked
50 o
does little to alleviate creating a pressure cooker. In
40 o
fact, a recent study by Stanford University proved that
30 o
cracking a window had an insignificant effect on both the
20 o
heating rate of heating and the final temperature after
an hour inside the car.
For example, on an 85-degree day, the temperature
inside a car with the windows opened slightly can reach 102 degrees within ten
minutes. After 30 minutes, the temperature can reach 120 degrees. Pets are in
danger of heatstroke when the temperature reaches 110 degrees. On hot and
humid days, the temperature in a car parked in direct sunlight can rise more
than 30 degrees per minute, and quickly become lethal.
“Pets, more so than humans, are susceptible to overheating,” said Mary
Rupley, HSHV Veterinarian. “Dogs have sweat glands on their nose and pads of
their feet, but these glands are inadequate for cooling during hot summer days.
When dogs pant and drink water it helps them cool down, but if they only have
overheated air to breathe, they can suffer brain damage and organ damage in
as little as 15 minutes.”
If you see an animal inside an unattended car during hot weather, try to
locate the owner as quickly as possible. If you can’t get immediate help, call
the Humane Society of Huron Valley at (734) 662-5585 x 112.

Have Your Heart Set On a
Certain Breed?
Did you know that HSHV often
gets purebred and designer-breed
pets? Mutts make exceptional
companions and family dogs, but if
you have your heart set on a certain
breed, you should start by looking at
the Humane Society of Huron Valley
first!
We have many breeds that never
appear on PetFinder (the nation’s
number one pet search site) because
they come in and get adopted by
people that visit frequently. In fact,
at least 35% of the animals that get
adopted here at HSHV never get
displayed on any of the pet search
web sites. Just think, you might be
searching online for a Poodle right
now and never know that HSHV has
a sweet little Poodle just waiting for
you!
Just look at a few of the
wonderful dogs adopted recently:
Toy Poodle
Shih Tzu
Boxer
Labradoodle

Tough Economic Times Being Felt By Pets Too
Mark your calendars and join HSHV
for some family fun-filled days this
summer. Check our web site for more
information at www.hshv.org.
This spring, we have seen a sharp
increase in the number of people
relinquishing their pets to HSHV because
they can no longer afford to care for
them, or because they have lost their
home due to eviction or foreclosure.
As hard as it is to make the decision
to relinquish your pet, abandonment is
never the answer. Take the story of Splash.
Splash, a 4-year-old tabby/tiger mix cat, was abandoned when his family
moved from their Belleville apartment home. He was left with very little food
and no water but managed to survive until a maintenance worker heard a faint
meow. What he found was a very scared, dehydrated cat. We hope Splash’s
story will have a happy ending but far too many animals are left abandoned or
turned out to the streets, where they get sick or injured, or worse.

Here are some ideas for help:
- There are many rental homes and apartments that accept pets
(type in apartments accepting pets in [your city]) into a search engine for results.
- Many kennels offer short-term, low-cost boarding opportunities or boarding
payment plans. Call local pet boarding businesses and inquire.
- Find someone to care for your pet until there is space available in the shelter or look for a rescue group that has immediate openings.
As of July 17, 2008, Splash was available for adoption. We do hope he finds a
new forever home.
Planned Giving: A Meaningful Way to Carry Forward
Your Compassion for Animals
As a supporter of HSHV, you have demonstrated your belief in and
commitment to the loving, responsible care of animals in our community.
Have you ever wondered how to continue your commitment into the
future? The answer is simple - remember HSHV in your estate plans by leaving
a legacy gift and becoming a member of our Guardian Circle.
HSHV’s Guardian Circle are individuals that have made planned gifts
which will protect future homeless and abused animals. As a member of
the Guardian Circle, you will be making a statement about your love and
compassion for all animals today, and tomorrow. Because we are a nonprofit
organization, your planned gift will most likely qualify for a gift or estate tax
deduction, depending on how and when you make the gift.
For more information about leaving
a gift to HSHV in your will and the
Guardian Circle program, please
contact the HSHV Development
Office for more information at

HUMANE SOCIETY OF HURON VALLEY
HSHV VOLUNTEER SPOTLIGHT
Dean Erskine - a volunteer that wears many hats!
HSHV is blessed to have many wonderful
volunteers. Without the support and caring
of these amazing individuals, we could
simply not operate. From dog walkers,
to cat cuddlers, to foster parents - our
volunteers give their heart and soul to care
for the homeless animals in the shelter.
Four years ago, Dean Erskine began
walking to get exercise but found
himself bored walking by himself. Dean
remembered hearing that HSHV needed
volunteer dog walkers, and since he and
his wife, Aunita, only had cats at home,
he decided to sign up for a volunteer
orientation.
Now, Dean not only likes to wear
baseball caps, he also wears many hats
as a HSHV volunteer! Dean volunteers
as a dog walker, a kitten foster parent, a
TNR volunteer, and he is often the voice
Dean volunteering at the 2008 Walk & Wag.
of HSHV. As a longtime radio host, Dean
has a very pleasant and professional voice
and he has recorded our PSAs and the HSHV message-on-hold for our phone
system.
“Fostering kittens is my favorite volunteer activity and probably accounts for
75% of my volunteer time,” said Dean. “Since prospective adopters come to my
home to meet the kittens I get to be a part of seeing families find a perfect match.
I also enjoy working with the other dedicated kitten/cat fosters, Debbie Pear, Patti
Maki, Robin Lund, Cori Walker, Shari Wilcox and the rest to help get these kittens
into homes. It’s also very rewarding when adopters send me updates and pictures
of the kittens they’ve adopted.”
Dean’s favorite volunteer moment came last December when a woman
saw a picture of one of his foster kittens on Petfinder. The women got in her
car and drove to HSHV to find out how to adopt the kitten. Our staff told her
that she would need to contact the foster parent, Dean to see the kitten. It just
so happened that on that day, Dean was playing Santa Claus for HSHV at the
PetSmart “Santa Paws” day and our staff told her how to get to PetSmart. The
woman drove all the way to Petsmart, found Dean in the Santa suit and told me
him she wanted to adopt his foster kitten named “Squirt.” “I knew anyone who
would go that much out of their way for one kitten would provide a great home,”
remarked Dean. “She ended up adopting two kittens!”
In Dean’s free-time away from HSHV, he enjoys spending time with his
wife Aunita and their six cats. Dean is also a big college sports fan, who loves
UofM Football and goes to most games. He also enjoys music from the 40’s and
watching old Andy Griffith show reruns.
“If you love animals, volunteering at HSHV is one of the most rewarding
activities you can be involved in,” says Dean. “The teamwork of the staff and
volunteers help to make the time homeless animals spend at the shelter less
stressful and help them become more adoptable. There are so many different
ways to be involved, just about anyone who loves animals can find their niche.
Plus you can’t find a nicer group of people to be around than HSHV volunteers.”

We Need You!
Volunteering at HSHV is a
rewarding experience. There are
so many roles you can play to
aid the mission of the Humane
Society of Huron Valley. You must
be 18 or older for volunteer
positions requiring direct contact
with the animals. If you are 16-17
years old, you may volunteer for
other activities. If you are 12-15
years old, you may volunteer
working directly with a parent.
For further information, please
call our Volunteer Hotline at
734.662.5585 x 300 or
e-mail volunteers@hshv.org
Thank You!
HSHV would like
to thank the Build-ABear Workshop Bear
Hugs Foundation for
awarding our Fairy Godmother Fund a
Bearemy’s Kennel Pals® $1,500 grant.
Bearemy’s Kennel Pals is a
collection of plush dogs that
generates funds for the support of
pet programs. Build-A-Bear Workshop
dpnates one dollar from the sale of
each full-sized furry friend to the
Build-A-Bear Workshop Bear Hugs
Foundation to support domestic
pet programs including local animal
shelters, stray pet rescue and
rehabilitation organizations, pet
education programs, and other direct
pet care initiatives. Money raised
through the sale of these animals
is directly granted to shelters and
animal programs in the United States
and Canada on a quarterly basis.
The Fairy Godmother Fund
enables HSHV to go the extra mile
for animals that have suffered abuse
or neglect and require medical
treatment that is beyond the scope
of regular adoption procedures.
HSHV budgets for these special cases
and each year needs approximately
$20,000 in order to provide life-saving
medical care. Visit www.hshv.org for
more information.

SHELTER LIFE • SUMMER 2008
Happy “Tails” from Recent Adoptions
DEVONA (now ATHENA)
PURRDIE (now CINDER)
Much thanks to all,
Laurel and Jared Bedore
and Athena
Sincerely,
Jennifer & Jeff Matthews
Devona is doing great in her
new home. We changed her name
to Athena, and she has fit in since
day one. We adore her, as does
everyone she comes across. We are
still trying to get weight on her, she
is eating very well for us. Our baby
girl loves the couch, and the bed for
that matter.
We send a thank you to everyone that helped in her care and gave
her so much love and attention until we adopted her.
Please continue all of your hard work. You do such a great
job, and I hope more wonderful animals like Athena will be able
to get adopted to their own homes very soon.
Wish List
My husband, Jeff and I adopted
Purrdie. I had heard about her
when she was on 107.1’s “Pet of
the Week” show. We had recently
lost both of our cats to cancer, and
while we knew another cat couldn’t
replace the ones we lost, we also
had room in our home and lives for
a kitty in need.
She has the run of all the rooms
in the house and is getting along very well with Erin, our dog.
She fits into our family as though she’s been with us for a very
long time. We decided to rename her Cinder because of the neat
white and silver portions of her coat.
We are just so glad we found her. Thank you -- and we are
particularly thankful to her foster father, Dean. She is a great cat
because she had great people watching over her.
Please visit www.hshv.org to see items on our WISH LIST. If you don’t see the item you want to donate,
please call us at 734.662.5585 x 104 before making a trip to HSHV. Thank you!
Our greatest wish it that all homeless animals find a loving, forever home. Please make adoption your first option.
