Spring 2008 - Hawaiian Humane Society
March 2008 Diary of a lost pup Patches, a lost puppy found wandering the streets, shares his experience with the Hawaiian Humane Society. Tuesday, July 17 – 2:38 p.m. I wandered anxiously through Ewa Beach disoriented and unsure of how to find my way home. I was extremely thirsty and hadn’t eaten for a day. In 2007, the Hawaiian Humane Society received more than 15,000 calls for services for lost and found animals, cruelty investigations, rescues, emergencies and more. Wednesday, July 18 – 9:00 a.m. I still couldn’t find my way home and wasn’t picking up any familiar scents. I spotted a large white truck and a woman called out to me in a friendly voice but I was unsure of the stranger. ’t find “I couldn ome.” h my way It’s essential that dogs have a collar, tag and microchip with current owner records with the Society. The Humane Society’s Investigative Team is 10 officers deputized by the Honolulu Police Department. They investigate reports, pick up stray and abandoned animals, and educate families about responsible pet care. Wednesday, July 18 – 10:20 a.m. Her name was Francine Fujiwara and boy did she smell like a million dogs! She works for the Humane Society as a humane investigator. Since I had no ID, Francine brought me to the Society. Her truck was like a doggie limo. I had my own, climate-controlled animal compartment. I knew things were looking up. Owners sometimes believe their pet will never get lost. Regardless, it’s essential that dogs have a collar, tag and microchip with current owner records with the Society. Investigators scan lost pets for ID and use their laptops to find owner contact information. Continued on page 2 President’s Message Pigs need your compassion too At the Hawaiian Humane Society, we care about so much more than animal companions. We care deeply about the welfare of all animals, and something important has come to my attention that will affect the way you shop. Due to consumer demand for what is known as “hot pork,” thousands of pigs needlessly suffer in transit from Canada to Hawaii, just so they can be slaughtered here and cleverly labeled in supermarkets as “island produced pork.” The animals suffer days in transit under stressful conditions with painful deaths due to stress and dehydration. With the support of Hawaii’s animal welfare community, the World Society for the Protection of Animals – as well as national and international organizations – is launching a media campaign urging the halt of long distant pig transport and urging the public to shop for imported “chilled” pork. This year, you’ll see Hawaii island humane societies becoming more involved in larger efforts concerning the welfare of all animals, and not just our beloved pets. Your help is needed in making Hawaii a better place for people and animals. Join the Hawaiian Humane Society’s Animal Advocates Team by calling 356-2212. Ask your legislators where they stand on animal welfare issues and voice your concerns. Also, vote for candidates who favor stronger animal protection laws. With Aloha, Pamela Burns and Daisy President & CEO Diary of a lost a pup... continued from page 1 Wednesday, July 18 – 2:45 p.m. I arrived at the Society and was placed in “dog holding” until a veterinarian technician was ready to evaluate my health and temperament. Spayed and neutered animals tend to live longer lives, the number of health problems is reduced or eliminated, and they’re less likely to run away. This also helps control unplanned litters: in While healthy, I was too young to six years, one female dog and her offspring undergo neuter surgery. can be the source of 67,000 puppies and within seven years, one female cat and her young can produce 420,000 kittens. family r e t s o f “My e a lot.” taught m Thursday, July 19 – 9:00 a.m. While waiting to be eligible for surgery, the Society placed me with a foster family where I learned some manners and skills like “sit” and “stay.” But mostly, I got over my shyness and learned how to have fun with people. To be eligible for spay or neuter surgery, puppies and kittens must be at least 8 weeks old and 2 pounds. Animals that are either too young, underweight, or require medical attention for a short time are placed with foster families. Thursday, Sept. 13 – 3:54 p.m. At 8 weeks, I was reassessed by the Society’s veterinary staff and was deemed ready for surgery. “The adoption process was ea sy.” Adoption counselors help families select the animal companion that best suits their lifestyle.

If you see me playing, stop by to say hi! Owners pay for dogs that bite In October 2007, Kahala resident Mariko Bereday was found negligent for failing to keep her dog leashed on Kahala Beach. On Mother’s Day 2005, the dog attacked a 21/2 -year-old boy and his family was awarded $856,000 – the largest award for a dog-bite case in Hawaii. This case emphasized the importance of adhering to animal laws because pet owners are liable for personal or property damage, regardless of lack of knowledge of a pet’s aggressiveness. An estimated 40 percent of Oahu families have dogs; that’s more than 158,000 dogs in neighborhoods everywhere. The majority of these pets is sociable and enjoy and crave human contact. However, any canine can bite regardless of size or breed. In Hawaii in 2006, an estimated 1,100 people were treated for dog bites– a relatively small number. The Humane Society encourages you to educate family members: Never chase or tease dogs. Always ask the dog’s owner for permission before approaching him, even if you have met before. Refrain from looking directly into his eyes. Move slowly toward him with the back of your hand extended below his chin so that he can see and sniff your hand. Refrain from patting the dog on his head, which may frighten him. If a dog jumps at you and acts aggressively: Stop and present any available object, such as a purse or backpack, for the dog to bite. Shake and pull the object while the dog is grabbing it, and slowly back away to safety. When you are near a safe area, let the dog have the object and retreat. “Responsible dog ownership is key in preventing bites,” said Julie DeNucci, the Humane Society’s animal behavior coordinator. “Start socializing your dog as soon as he comes home and integrate him to the family. Enroll him in an obedience class then practice what you’ve learned in class. Encourage the entire family to participate in teaching him basic obedience commands.” The Hawaiian Humane Society offers free workshops, available by appointment to business and community organizations. Call 356-2206. The 45-minute Mr. Bugs Dog Bite Prevention workshop includes a 10-minute video and workbooks for participants. Workshop information includes recognizing the four major types of dog behavior, tips on avoiding being surprised by a strange dog and what to do if chased or attached. Pamela Burns President & CEO Gina Baurile Community Relations Coordinator This newsletter is published quarterly by the Hawaiian Humane Society. 2700 Waialae Avenue Honolulu, Hawaii 96826 Phone (808) 946-2187 Fax (808) 955-6034 www.hawaiianhumane.org Your financial support enables the Hawaiian Humane Society to further all of its programs and goals. All funds raised for the Society serve the people and animals of Hawaii. Though united with many humane societies across the country in a common concern for animals, we are an independent Hawaii organization and receive no funding from national organizations. We are also not an Aloha United Way agency. Do not disturb a dog who is sleeping, eating or caring for puppies. Never sneak up to play. A child who finds an injured or lost dog should ask a parent or guardian for help. If a strange dog approaches, remain still with your hands at your side; he will most likely sniff you and go away. You should never try to outrun a dog; back away slowly instead. ‘Pay your blessings forward’ with a gift to the animals Our lives are blessed with many caring friends, family and even animals. Tribute gifts to the Humane Society offer a unique and lasting way to thank those who’ve made a difference in your life. In 2004, Eric Kawamoto wanted to give his wife Leslie Ann a Christmas In 2004, the Kawamoto’s adopted gift she’d never forget. Zoe from the Humane Society. Leslie’s commitment to helping animals inspired Eric to sponsor a dog acquaintance area, where adopters and animals can get to know each other. Since then, the Kawamoto family has made Society tribute gifts a family tradition. They’ve dedicated a tree to their veterinarian Scott Harada; a tree to Leslie’s father and dog lover, Franklin J.K. Leong; and a park bench to lost pets. Tribute gifts to the Humane Society offer a unique and lasting way to thank those who’ve made a difference in your life. Popular tributes include memorial plaques ($100) and personalized stepping stones ($250) placed in the Society’s garden pathways. Plaques can also be placed near shade trees or even on a dog kennel ($1,000). Garden, park and shelter benches ($2,500) as well as adoption counseling rooms, pet acquaintance areas, and Cat House rooms ($5,000) are also available.

Rigo Neira joins as Director of Operations An animal welfare veteran with a decade of experience in animal protection & control, cruelty investigation and shelter management, Rigo Neira joins the Hawaiian Humane Society as its Director of Operations. “The Hawaiian Humane Society has a solid reputation and is a nationally recognized leader in the animal welfare community,” said Rigo. “Working here was an opportunity that I couldn’t let pass.” His division encompasses many of the Society’s critical public services: adoptions, lost and found, veterinary services, animal arrivals and feral cat sterilizations. He also supervises a team of more than 10 investigators in field services, which covers animal rescues and response for all of Oahu. Each year, the Society receives more than 15,000 calls for service, which includes cruelty investigations, barking dog complaints and dog bite complaints. His 2008 initiatives are improving customer service in all areas, increasing the number of reclaimed lost pets and continuing to promote responsible pet care. Rigo’s plans include strengthening relations between the Society and its community counterparts including the Honolulu Police Department, the veterinarian community and pet owners. Right: Rigo and Cash, who was adopted from Colorado’s Larimer Humane Society. Pair indicted on first-degree cruelty to animals In January, Saturnino Palting and Nelson Domingo were indicted by an Oahu grand jury on charges of first-degree cruelty to animals and second-degree theft. Both crimes are class C felonies punishable by up to five years in prison and a $10,000 fine. On Dec. 16, 2007 Frank Manuma, brought his dog Caddy, to the Moanalua Golf Course. Frank planned a round of golf before his afternoon shift as a volunteer security guard and had permission to leave his pet at an equipment shack near the clubhouse while he golfed. When he returned, Caddy was gone. “We worked closely with the Honolulu Police Department in investigating the case,” said Kawehi Yim, community relations director. “We are confident that the prosecuting attorney’s office is pursuing this case to the fullest extent possible allowed by law.” On Dec. 21, the Society held a press conference announcing an award of up to $2,500 for the arrest and conviction of those involved in the theft and slaughter of Caddy. Also on-hand to answer reporters’ questions were the Manuma family and Senator Clayton Hee, who authored and championed the felony animal cruelty bill. Governor Linda Lingle signed the bill into law in June 2007. Newspapers across the globe picked up articles about the case. Caddy’s story touched the local community, and even former On Dec. 21, the Society held a press conference offering a reward of up to $2,500 for the arrest and conviction of those involved in the theft and slaughter of a pet dog owned by the Manuma family.

The court case is scheduled for March 31, 2008. Humane Society rescues dog trapped in storm drain While most of us began the new year with joy and laughter, Phil Lum of Hawaii Kai spent the day anxiously searching for his dog Yogi. Frightened by new year’s eve fireworks, Yogi had bolted from home. Phil had just placed lost dog ads in the Honolulu Star-Bulletin and on craigslist.com and was about to post flyers in his neighborhood when he received a call from the Hawaiian Humane Society. Yogi was found and his ID helped the Society locate the Lums. descending deeper and deeper into the drain. Exhausted and desperate to get home, Yogi finally relented to his rescuers. The Society’s humane investigators are on-duty all day and every day and respond to more than 15,000 “Animal rescues with happy endings are the rewards of this job,” said Vernon Ling, Society investigator. “Rescues are just one aspect of what our team faces daily. We also investigate animal cruelty cases and educate the public about responsible pet ownership.” The Society’s humane investigators are onduty all day and every day and respond to more than 15,000 calls for service every year. Call response is based upon priority level and top priority is always a situation in which the animal or someone is in danger. calls for service every year. Yogi’s five-day journey began when terrified by fireworks; he raced down a storm drain for safety and couldn’t get out. Humane investigators responded to a call about a barking dog in distress. For nearly two hours, Society officers Vernon Ling and Nicholas Maurer worked with the fire department to lure the dog that was Dog-gone it! Give us more parks and we’ll give you a better neighborhood Oahu’s four off-leash dog parks have meant happier dogs, less barking in neighborhoods, and new friends for thousands of people and pets who enjoy these gathering places. With more than 330,000 dogs in Oahu families, neighbors are rallying together and making off-leash pooch parks a reality. It takes patience, perseverance and consensus-building to get these parks established and no group knows this more than Ala Wai K-9 Playground Association. Its efforts will culminate in 2010 with the opening of a 32,000 sq. ft. Ala Wai off-leash park that will serve thousands of families in the Waikiki neighborhood. With its abundance of high-rise homes, residents saw the pressing need for an open area for dogs to play, exercise and socialize – all of which make dogs better neighbors. “We are 200 supporters strong and we know that having an off-leash park is as much for the dogs as it is for the people who enjoy making friends.” –Sandy Eldrich, vice president Ala Wai K-9 Playground Association. “The K-9 Playground Association was formed after Waikiki residents were ticketed for meeting in areas where canines are prohibited,” said Sandy Eldrich, vice president of the Ala Wai K-9 Playground Association. “We are 200 supporters strong and we know that having an off-leash park is as much for the dogs as it is for the people who enjoy making friends.” The non-profit Association partnered with the City to establish the park and the public-private alliance enables both to share resources and minimize expenses. The association’s responsibilities include fence building, a water system installation, and general park maintenance. Initially, the Association’s biggest opponent was a nearby school that was concerned about possible health issues and the distraction of park users. A compromise was made so that park hours will be from 5 p.m. to sunset. For Hawaii Kai residents, an off-leash romp in the park is coming even sooner. Park champion Hui ‘Ilio Hawai‘i is working hand-in-paw with the City for a 2008 opening. The park will be located in the vacant lot adjacent to the Hawaii Kai Park and Ride. You can be a Park Champion! Create a Pack. Talk to other dog owners and form a core group of neighborhood volunteers. Invite the Humane Society to join your neighborhood effort. Sniff Around.

In 1779, he wrote about diminutive dogs with up-curved tails “and short crooked legs, long backs and pricked ears.” Ancient petroglyphs of Hawaiian dogs closely match that description. By the 1850s, the mild-mannered Polynesian dogs were interbred with European breeds. The Europeans also brought their values of dogs as companions, which took hold in the islands. Poi dog eventually came to describe a pet of unrecognizable breed—thoroughly mixed, as is poi. Exactly when the first cat landed in Hawaii is still a mystery. Hawaii’s mild climate gave rise to both feral and pet populations. They were commonplace by 1809 when Englishman Archibald Campbell compiled a 400word vocabulary that included a Hawaiian word for cat: Popokee. In 1836, Reverend Lorrin Andrews compiled a Hawaiian vocabulary that included three words for cat: Po–poki, Uau and Oau. Hawaiian scholar Nathaniel Emerson explained the origins. Po–poki is an imitative vocalization for ‘poor pussy.’ Oau (pronounced oh-ow) comes from the Hawaiian imitation of “meow.” This excerpt is from the Hawaiian Humane Society’s Poi Dogs & Popoki book, which can be purchased at the shelter or online at www.hawaiianhumane.org. Wanted! Pre-1945 family pet photos The Humane Society seeks Hawaii family photos of and with pets before 1945. Photos may be used in future Society publications or on display at the shelter.
