Giving shelter animals a voice
Director’s Welcome
ANIMAL WELFARE IN NORTHWEST INDIANA: WHAT’S GOING ON?
Northwest Indiana is very unique when it comes to animal welfare. There are three Humane Societies
within miles of each other, a multitude of rescue groups and two county shelters. In addition, nearly
every municipality in Lake County has their own animal control facility. With all of this help, it’s hard to
believe that thousands of animals are still in need and without homes. The pet overpopulation problem is
overwhelming to comprehend and has become an epidemic.
Why is it that with all of these resources in “The Region” that Indiana ranks 35th nationwide in animal
welfare? There are no national or state standards or requirements of Humane Societies. We all have
different ways of addressing the problem and each are doing the best we can with limited space and
funding. It is time that we all come together as a community to solve the problem of homeless animals.
It’s time for a change.
The Humane Society Calumet Area’s mission statement is to
lead the community in the humane treatment of animals. You
may have seen recently that there are many new and exciting
changes happening for us. The Estelle Marcus Animal Clinic
just completed the 2,000th surgery of the year and is now
offering vaccines and additional services to the community
including a food pantry.
“It is time that we
come together as
a community to
solve the problem of
homeless animals.
It’s time for a change.
”
Paws Resale Shoppe has recently moved to a new and
improved location. The Paws Shoppe is still located in
Highland but now offers double the retail space and ample
parking for customers. There is also a loading dock for ease of dropping off donated items or picking up
furniture. The store has successfully generated over $500,000 for the animals since opening in 2003.
Opening day at 8149 Kennedy Avenue raised $2,000 for the shelter animals. There was a line at the
register all day!
A corporate office is also being established to make space at the shelter for more animals. The new
location will allow administrative staff a proper place to meet with donors and corporate sponsors, write
grants, build relationships with like-minded organizations in the community, and host seminars and
training along with working on legislative issues. Humane Society Calumet Area, Inc. wants to aide
Northwest Indiana in creating a better place for the animals. We want to not only be a resource for
people and pets, but also other organizations in the community.
We are so glad you have chosen to join us on our mission to improve
life in “the Region”.
Respectfully,
We are stewards of the
vision of Evelyn Sweitzer,
the founder of HSCA
who imagined a better
future for animals in
Northwest Indiana. We
can never forget that
she fought for humane
conditions for animals
over
70 years ago. While
we have come a long way
since
1941, we still have
a long way to go toward a

more humane
Region.
Transparency is very important to us! Feel free to request a copy of our audited financials, form 990 or
asilomar accords. My door is always open to discuss issues within the community or at the shelter.

Puppies are adorable and a delight to be around. While it’s tempting to breed dogs at
home to have adorable little babies in the house. Here are the top 5 reasons why it is
best to adopt a puppy, not breed your own.
1) Long-Term Health Consequences - Not spaying or neutering your dog puts them
at a much higher risk for life-threatening conditions like pyometra, cancer, and other
serious illnesses. Also, your dog may experience changes in temperament after having
a litter such as aggression or fear that could become permanent.
2) Harsh Realities - Parents want their children to experience the miracle of life, but
sometimes that miracle involves death. It’s not uncommon for a least one puppy in a
litter to die or be born dead and sometimes a stressed mother will commit infanticide.
Sometimes an entire litter will die. Do you want your kids to see that?
3) Pet Overpopulation - Every puppy bred takes a home away from a shelter animal
and contributes to the millions of deaths in shelters every year.
4) Expenses - Even a standard birth costs several hundred dollars in care. If there
are complications, you are looking at thousands. You also need to provide shots and
deworming for the litter (average is 6-12 puppies) or they may get sick or die.
5) Homes for All - If you find 6 - 12 homes and one or more don’t work out, are you
prepared to take the puppies back in 2 months, 2 years? Your puppies can become
one of the millions euthanized in shelters and you may be powerless to save them. -Sources: Cristine Travis, Yahoo Network, ASPCA, HSUS

Paw Pals Cage Sponsors Paw Pals Cage Sponsorship is a simple
way to help care for the animals living
at the shelter. Just $15 each month
helps provide care for an animal at the
shelter. Each sponsor is assigned a
cage at the shelter, given a photo of the
animal in their cage, and an HSCA t-shirt.
Your committment of 50 cents each day
ensures a shelter animal has everything
he needs until he finds a forever home.

Ways to Help
Planned Giving
Consider naming Humane Society Calumet Area
as a beneficiary of your pension plan, IRA, or
retirement plan.
During your life, you retain the ability to access the
funds for your needs.
If you have a life insurance policy that you no longer need for it’s original purpose, you can use it to
support the animals and you may be able to take a
tax deduction for its value!
A charitable bequest can help reduce the tax burden on your estate.
Donations of securities provides the tax benefits of
avoiding capital gains tax and a possible income
tax deduction.
Paper Recycling Program
You can help the homeless animals
of the HSCA and the environment
by simply bringing your newspapers,
magazines, mail, school & office papers, notebooks, folders, and catalogs
to our green and yellow recycle bins.
We have consistently received around
$200 per month thanks to your donations!
Please do not put cardboard in the bins!
Did you know?
For every ton of paper recycled (each bin holds 2 tons):
7,000 gallons of water is saved
390 gallons of oil is saved
17 fewer trees are used
60 pounds of greenhouse gases are avoided
Birthday Parties at the Shelter
Shelter birthday parties are a great option for children who love animals. Imagine having a party for
your child and not cooking or cleaning!
For as little as $150, the HSCA will host a party for up to 20 kids (additional kids $5 each) featuring a
behind-the-scenes shelter tour, cake, ice cream, drinks, games, animal play time and more!
Dogs love shelter birthday parties, too! Your pup can invite his doggy friends for a time of games and
dog birthday treats. Throw your best friend the birthday bash of his life.
Stardust Bowl II in Merrillville, IN offers the Alley Cat
Special every Monday. Make a $2 donation to HSCA
and play for only $1.50 per game. All donations go
directly to the animals at the shelter.
Stardust Bowl II is open Mondays from 9am to 11pm.

Success Stories
Jorge (Buttons) is enjoying his new buddy on
his favorite resting spot. Thanks HSCA for this
wonderful opportunity to adopt him. Our son
adores him and I think Jorge adores him, too.
We are so happy he picked us that day!
Julie Merkel
CJ is a very friendly cat, he loves to
cuddle by me every night and he loves
running and playing when he’s in my
room! He’s a very loveable cat, He meows
and meows when he wants attention or
even when he wants more food or water,
he’s a very good boy with a loving home!
When i took him to get his updated shots
the employees fell in love with him right
away because he loves to be petted! I’m
glad i was able to adopt him from the
Calumet Humane Society in Munster,
Indiana.
Candace Wilson
7 - Humane Society Calumet Area
I adopted Daisy at
10-months-old from HSCA
in August 2000. Being a
Border Collie, she was high
energy, but also very smart.
Her daily “chore” was to put
away her toys at the end of
the day. She woudl softly
growl, as if she was pouting,
with each toy she dropped
into the toy basket.
Daisy would have been
an asset to the DEA - she
would not take a pill. I tried
hiding them in peanut butter,
roast beef, liver sausage,
cheese, etc. She would sniff
and walk away.
Daisy passed away on February 25, 2013. I loved her dearly and miss her
terribly. She was my heart.
Anna Waters
Here are some pictures of the little
boy that we adopted for Christmas.
At the shelter he was known as Red
but in hopes of a completely different
life for him, the kids decided that
he needed a completely different
name. It is now Petey...or Petester,
sometimes sweetie Petey , and on
occasion Stinky Pete. We do love
him so! You would be so proud of
him. He is smart and well behaved
but I am especially humbled by his
loving personality. He is just a little
dude who wants to love and be loved.
Petey is not perfect, but he really
is perfect for our family. Thank you
again for the time you took away from
your chores to talk with us about him.
He wins everybody’s heart that meets him... Definitely an asset to the world.
He is happy!
Just wanted to send you
some updated pictures of
Layla. I adopted her from
you back in December, she
is now 5 months old, and
doing VERY well!! [She is]
99% potty trained, and very
loveable!! She has such a
personality already!! Loves
everyone!!

Animals Waiting for a Second Chance...
Bella
4 year old
Male
Boxer / Staffordshire Terrier
Bella’s favorite hobbies
include playing in kid’s
wading pools and playing
tug with toys. She is very
affectionate, has a winning
smile, and an adorable bowlegged walk. Bella loves to
take walks and has great
leash manners.
Cypress
11 years old
Female
Domestic Longhair
Cypress is a beautiful girl
with bold, calico markings.
She’s a diva who loves to
have her head petted, but
wants everything on her
own terms. She’s quite the
chatterbox and will respond
when you talk to her.
Theo
6 years old
Male
Domestic Shorthair
Theo is probably the most
relaxed cat at the shelter.
He has turned taking it easy
into a science. He is a very
affectionate cat who enjoys
a good snuggle with cat
or human friends. He can
make friends with just about
anybody and, boy, can he
nap.
King
2 years old
Male
Doberman Pinscher mix
King is a silly guy who is
quick to offer up a toy for
play. He has lots of energy
and would love an active
home. He’s a smart boy
and it’s impossible not to be
happy around him. King is a
big boy so he would prefer a
home with no small children.
