BUILDING A NO-KILL COMMUNITY By Lynn Olenik, HAWS Executive Director H In this issue: Direct Line 2 Humane Education Highlights 3 It’s All About the Animals! 4 Volunteers 6 Thank You 7 AWS is constantly working to achieve and maintain the benchmarks as outlined by the No-Kill Coalition. (The complete list – and how HAWS compares – is available at hawspets.org.) But, at HAWS we are striving to reach an even larger goal: Building a NoKill Community. As an open admission shelter, HAWS is dedicated to helping all of our community’s animals in need. We cannot simply close our doors when we are full. This presents challenges to our facility and programs, challenges that are met each day, and often overcome! Accelerated growth in three key, donor-funded programs has helped HAWS make crucial strides towards our dream that every domestic animal which is healthy or medically treatable, that has a sound temperament or modifiable behavior, gets the help it needs to find a new home. • Annie’s Fund has made it possible for us to treat animals with medical issues that, in the past, would have prevented their adoption. We do not believe in extending the suffering of an animal; Annie’s Fund allows us to help where it is in the pet’s best interest. • Our Behavior Department’s Mod Squad has changed the lives of dogs with challenging behaviors. Behavior problems/lack of training are a key reason dogs come to HAWS; when dogs were returned after adoption, often it was because these undesirable habits were still with them. We now change these issues before they leave the shelter, helping keep them in their new families for life. • Project Guardian, the free spay/neuter program for outdoor cats, has lowered the incoming number of stray cats to our shelter by 42% since 2005. T-N-R (trap-neuter-return), the concept of Return to Field, and quality barn homes are all options we are exploring which should help lower these numbers even further, and help change the outcomes for cats which are not house pets. License #267280-DS Visit us on the web: hawspets.org 701 Northview Road PO Box 834 Waukesha, WI 53187-0834 262-542-8851 To reach the dream of becoming a No-Kill Community will take a community-wide effort! Waukesha County is very fortunate not to have the entrenched poverty that many other areas face. What we may have, though, is apathy – a feeling that “someone” (someone else!) will step up to help. Exciting to us is that our younger generation, much like the founders of HAWS, shares a grassroots mentality that the difficult can be achieved through combined efforts. They inspire us all to be an active part of Building a No-Kill Community. What can YOU do – if you happen to be that “someone” that wants to step up? •F oster animals in need, to lighten the burden on our shelter and give those animals some muchneeded family time! •D onate to Annie’s Fund to help the medically challenged, and to HAWS’ other programs that impact not only our animals but our youth, to imbed humane sentiments for the future. • T hat stray cat “hanging around”? Chances are he is a TNR/Project Guardian candidate. • Help get the word out that these programs are available – and FREE! • If you have a barn, give an outdoor cat a job! For no charge, we can place with you a neutered or spayed, vaccinated cat (who is not a house pet) for your barn or outdoor building and give you the tools and knowledge to provide shelter and care.

I n 2015, HAWS took on another capital campaign, to raise the money needed to again expand our shelter and meet the rapidly progressing needs of our SNIP program and Behavior Department. A newsworthy and historical hoarding case, plus additional facilities for cat care and housing rounded out the argument for growth and led to a proposed new floorplan. lessons she’s learned from our past leaders – how things used to be and how far HAWS has come. Raising a large amount of money for a project is one big roller-coaster, but Jes (outwardly, at least) concentrated on the highs. My officemate, Jessica Pinkos, was presented with the challenge of taking on the role of Donor Relations, coordinating the aspects of the 2015 FEC (our department’s shorthand for “facility expansion campaign”). Having been part of HAWS’ last expansion campaign, I knew the task she was facing – and didn’t envy her one bit! In mid-December she sent out this email: “We have some exciting news to share. Today we received a large donation from [the family of a founding member]. Mark had talked to her a couple months ago…today I met with her and gave her a tour. We also received a $15,000 grant [from a business partner]. Lynn and I went over the numbers and…that puts us at a total of about $1,015,000!!!!!!! I have another big meeting at the end of the week so send me some good vibes.” Those of you who have met with Jes during this FEC, or have worked with her previously, know her deep passion for HAWS and our mission. It’s been a joy to hear her talk about the tour groups she’s led, recounting the history By the time you are reading this, we hope to be finalizing the timetable for construction – and especially the groundbreaking ceremony. When you see Jes there, be sure to tell her it was definitely all worth it!

From office work and greeters to animal socializers and spay/ neuter assistants, there are many opportunities to make a difference. With all of HAWS’ programs working to make our dream a reality, and with the continued strong support of our community here in Waukesha County – including assistance from area partners like the Elmbrook Humane Society – we are Building a No-Kill Community. We are ALMOST there: we believe this is not only possible, but well within reach for all of Waukesha County. A EDUCATION DEPARTMENT HIGHLIGHTS Enthusiasm for Animals By Khris Erickson, Humane Educator A t the beginning of the school year I received an email from Randall STEM Academy: “Our 2nd/3rd graders are doing a unit on Community. Their final project will be for them to work in small groups and carry out a service project to help the Waukesha community and be good citizens. We are looking for representatives from Waukesha area service groups to come in and explain what the group does to help the community and how kids can be involved (either now or in the future).” Of course I met with the kids – and had a really fun time talking about HAWS and what we do here! and started to wonder if maybe none of the groups had chosen us for their project. As I came around one of the tables, I looked up at a doorway leading into another room and saw the door frame labeled with “HAWS.” We didn’t just get a table, we had a whole room because 8 groups of kids had chosen us! I was touched and overwhelmed by the magnitude of the desire that so many 2nd and 3rd graders had, wanting to help the animals of Waukesha County. In November I received another email from the teacher saying they were holding a service expo and that the students would like to show the representatives from the non-profits what they had done. I approached one of the groups and introduced myself and asked to see their project. They were thrilled to see me, excited to show me the video they had created to promote their project, and proudly presented me with a plastic baggie, telling me that it held $43. As I walked into the school’s media center, I saw groups of kids surrounding tables labeled with the name of the non-profit they had chosen to help. I walked past several tables, not seeing a sign that said HAWS, As I spoke to the next group I started getting tugs on my arms – children from other parts of the room asking me to come see their projects. I assured all the students that I was planning on visiting every table. Every HUMANE OFFICER’S CORNER Fido Bit! What Happens Now? By Jill Miorana, Waukesha County Humane Officer D id your dog just bite the delivery guy or the neighbor kid? Now what? Our Humane Office receives all kinds of questions regarding bites – from the person bitten, the owner of the pet who bit, questions on filling out bite reports from police, parents, animal shelters, veterinarians, medical offices…. Everyone wants to know: “What happens now?” WI Statute 95.21 requires the quarantining of dogs and cats that have broken the skin of a person with their teeth. In Wisconsin, rabies is found primarily in skunks and bats, but it can spread to domestic pets through contact. A 10-day quarantine from the day of the incident can ensure that rabies, a fatal disease, is not spread. Waukesha County has a rabies control program to comply with this law, run by the county humane officers. They handle over 600 exposures per year. Upon receiving an animal bite report, Humane Officers will verify your pet’s vaccination status through your vet. We will contact you to arrange the quarantine. Animals with a current rabies vaccine can be quarantined at the owner’s home; the County will send a certified rabies observer out to view your animal twice within the quarantine. There is no charge for these scheduled home visits, but you must arrange for your pet to have a vet exam on the tenth day after the incident. You can also choose to have your vet see your animal for all three of these home observations. Completed paperwork faxed from the vet’s office to the humane program completes the process. If a pet is not current with its rabies vaccine, it will be ordered to a quarantine kennel (animal shelter, participating veterinary clinic or boarding facility) at the owner’s expense. While at the kennel, your pet will be checked by a certified ra- group of kids was proud of the video or slide show they’d created, and even more proud of the results, since every group had collected donation items from HAWS’ Wish List. I hear sometimes that kids today are being raised to be selfish and materialistic. I think the Randall STEM 2nd and 3rd graders prove that just isn’t true. A KIDS ’N CRITTERS SUMMER DAY CAMP Dates, details and registration available at hawspets.org or by calling 262-542-8851, x123. bies observer to make sure it is showing no signs of neurologic issues. Prior to reclaiming your pet, you are required to make an appointment with your vet and pre-pay for a rabies vaccination; this should be completed immediately after picking up your pet from the kennel. In Wisconsin, law mandates that every dog over 5 months old, with a few exceptions, be vaccinated for rabies. But if any pet has bitten a person (or goes outside), I would suggest it receive a rabies vaccine for safety sake! Failure to cooperate with a quarantine carries stiff penalties, due to the concern for public health. Most quarantines are uneventful, and the animals are found to be rabies-free. The rabies prevention response is for protecting public health, not a punishment. By state law, this process is required. County workers are just doing their jobs and appreciate your cooperation.

Animal Rescue Team member Anna received a call about a raccoon in an apartment building dumpster. He’d been there for 2 days, and despite putting two logs in as a way for him to climb out, he wasn’t leaving. Turns out, he had food, warmth and safety in there – so he was a happy camper! Anna was finally able to coax him into a net and let him go in a more appropriate wooded area nearby. Happy tails, indeed! Staff Spotlights Andres G. With the warmer than usual December weather, creatures were stirring a bit more! Field Services Manager Mark answered three calls on skunks in different predicaments, including this fellow stumbling around a back yard. The yogurt container was safely removed and our friend returned to his habitat…without his plastic helmet. In November, Animal Rescue Team member Andres received multiple reports about a loose sheep running on a road parallel to I-94. Rescuers Trina, Johanna, Sue and Andres all took time to assist, along with two Good Samaritans and five police officers! But this sheep had other ideas, and after playing a game of tag with everyone for about an hour it ran out of sight into a heavily wooded area with tall brush. Tired and defeated, everyone went home. The next day, Mark responded to more sightings and reports – it had now made it across I-94! Sightings continued for days, but at last report our slippery sheep was still… on the lamb….

She is a great cat and is very friendly. We love her. — Donna & Chuck C. FOSTER “FAILURE” Arnie began as a foster with a respiratory problem. After several months, lots of medications and great support from Kim and Kelly, it was determined that he wouldn’t be adopted because of this chronic condition. My husband and I decided to keep Arnie because, even though he frequently coughs, wheezes and sneezes he is the sweetest cat. He’s bright, playful and is great friends with our 3 dogs and 2 cats. Arnie is loving and gentle and will be with us for as long as he lives. He makes our lives richer. — Kathy T.

WE ARE FAMILY We had two cats for most of my life. One passed away 3 years ago, the other just last year. After several months we knew there was a hole in our family. I wanted to find our addition at HAWS; I was so pleased with the service and assistance I received while looking for our new family member! I saw “Brutis” and knew his fluffy tail was flicking for me. We were concerned about his “big brother” – our 125 pound Greater Swiss Mountain Dog – but after a few days of introduction they became best buddies. Our family now feels full again. Thank you to everyone at HAWS for a great experience. — Laurie W. LITTLE PIGGIES I adopted Piggy (now Lucy) from HAWS, and wanted to update you on how she is doing in her new home! Lucy lives with 3 new friends (Gracie, Matilda and Piggy Smalls) and has plenty of space to run and play! She loves to get out of the cage every chance she gets to snuggle up to her humans and watch TV…or maybe even eat some of their hair. So happy Gracie and Lucy were able to get along and be cage mates in their new forever home. Thanks! — Makayla and Lucy HAWS MOBILE ADOPTION CENTER HIGHLIGHTS Mobile Connection Makes a Match By Susan Suleski, Mobile Adoptions Team After losing their dog to illness, the Plew family realized their home was too quiet. It lacked the special kind of energy and love only a pet could bring. Sara and Matthew set out on a quest to find their family a new addition. They were looking for a dog that enjoyed long walks and that would make a good companion for their two young children. One Sunday afternoon, the family decided to visit CeCe during a HAWS Mobile Adoption stop at Pet Supplies Plus in Brookfield. CeCe was a quiet, young dog with beautiful blue eyes. The family was instantly drawn in by her calm and loving demeanor. They spent time getting to know her. Then, after a private discussion, Sara and Matthew returned to our Mobile table to announce they wanted to adopt her! They filled out an application right there in the store and made an appointment to pick her up the next day. CeCe is now called Evita, and is enjoying her new family immensely. She is living a life of love and joy, thanks to the Plew family. Mobile events are great opportunities to meet your potential new family member! Please watch the Mobile calendar for an event near you. Want to host HAWS’ Mobile Team? Email us at mobile@hawspets.org.
