St. Hubert’s Welcomes
First Group of Rescue
Waggin’® Passengers
Like shelters throughout New Jersey,
St. Hubert’s shelter population of cats is rarely low
enough that we can accept groups of cats from
outside the areas which contract us to provide for
them. Still, we try to help whenever it’s possible.
Luckily for 17 cats and kittens from Sussex
County, we were able to do just that in midJanuary when we received a desperate plea for
assistance.The cats were well fed and had shelter
available but their guardian had neglected to spay
and neuter and so the population burgeoned to a
The animals come to St. Hubert’s in ones,
in twos, and in wagon-fulls!
They come to us from streets and alleys,
from folks on hard times and from local area
shelters. They come from far
away, in greater numbers
via organized transports.
And thanks to our generous
supporters, we are able to
open our arms wide.
Tuesday. January 18. The
day was dreary and cold
with a steady, freezing rain.
The kind of day most people
like to stay home under a
quilt with a good book and a
cup of hot cocoa. But this is St. Hubert’s, and
even the weather couldn’t dampen our
excitement, which grew all morning long.
That was the day that the Rescue Waggin’
vehicle was making its first, long-awaited
trip to us, and staff were busy preparing to
welcome 19 dogs and
puppies who were
number greater than could be cared for and was
growing: two of the adults were expecting kittens
yet again. When moving became a necessity she
had to face the fact that it would be impossible to
bring her large feline family along, but to her credit she sought placement for them rather than
leave them to fend for themselves. Phil Amato,
on board, heading from an overburdened
shelter in West Virginia to new beginnings in
New Jersey. Word from the road was that,
despite the weather, the truck, fully outfitted
to provide a safe and comfortable transport for its occupants—including lullabies
piped in to comfort them—
was on schedule, due to arrive
between 2 and 2:30 PM.
Finally, they were here!
The Rescue Waggin’ vehicle
backed into our courtyard.
“This never gets old for us,”
said St. Hubert’s Director of
Shelter Operations Colleen
Harrington. “It’s so rewarding yet so emotion evoking when we take in a group of animals like this because we know what their
fate might have been at their source shelters
where there are just too many of them and
not enough adopters.”
Rescue Waggin’, an organized transport
program for approved
sending and receiving
shelters, is a program from

had been kept in, but were in otherwise
good health.
Colleen Harrington coordinated with the
Sheriff’s department and volunteers on the
ground in West Virginia, and we were glad
to be able to help in this emergency situation. Our colleagues at Noah’s Ark and
Jersey Shore Animal Center also took several dogs to each of their facilities. CBS’
Magee Hickey visited us again, and our
new temporary residents were featured on
the 6 o’clock news during the Thanksgiving
weekend which was an amazing opportunity to promote shelter animals across the
region. Good food, baths, some medicine
and a healthy dose of TLC were all they
needed and they were soon off to new
forever homes in New Jersey.
Investigator, New Jersey SPCA, was assisting her
in finding a safe haven where the friendly cats
could be spayed/neutered and offered for adoption. He called St. Hubert’s to see whether we had
any room at all and we felt that we could accommodate this group—time was running out and
they still had nowhere to go. Their grateful
guardian came in and surrendered seven kittens
and ten adults, and we promised to provide good
care and plenty of TLC until forever homes could
be found for them.
Once at St. Hubert’s the cats and kittens
received vaccinations and were dewormed and
each was spayed or neutered so that we never
need worry about any of this group contributing
to feline overpopulation.
Caretakers who are providing food and shelter
for cats in need can increase the impact of their
kindness immeasurably by preventing litters for
whom there simply aren’t enough available
homes. Call St. Hubert’s for information on lowcost spay/neuter or contact SPAY NEW JERSEY at
www.SPAYNJ.org or call 1-877-SPAYNJ1 for a
complete listing of services available in your area.
Spring has finally sprung. And, celebrate as
we may after an intense winter of cold and
snow, we are greeted by different harbingers of
Spring than most. Budding trees, long days &
crocuses combine with laundry baskets, storage
tubs and cardboard boxes full of homeless kittens coming in our doors. That’s why we started
2011 by analyzing our data and targeting communities from which we receive the most kittens. As I write, we are in those communities
offering low-cost spay and neuter vouchers. We
want to prevent homelessness, not just respond
to it. We love kittens and we work tirelessly to
care for them and adopt them to loving homes.
The reality is that there are too many born
across New Jersey.
People ask me, “How can I help?” While I
enjoy asking anyone who cares about animals
(or anyone, really) to support our work,
I know that many of you may not be comfortable asking directly.
That’s why we’ve created a new guide to help
you reach out to people in your lives and/or run
your own fundraiser or event for St. Hubert’s. I’m
doing the first item in the guide. I created a
fundraising web page at
www.firstgiving.com/fundraiser/heathercammisa
for my upcoming milestone birthday. My goal is to
raise $1,000 from friends and family who are not
current supporters of St. Hubert’s, although everyone is invited to help me celebrate. The money will
enable us to offer 40 low-cost spay & neuter
vouchers to caring people feeding feral cats on
their property. I can’t think of a better way of inviting friends to help me celebrate turning 40 than
to prevent hundreds of homeless animals and to
provide spay/neuter and vaccinations for 40 community cats. Setting up the page was easy and it is
fun to share (as a teaser, there is a photo of me—
age 4—asleep with my childhood pal,“Snowflake”).
Then—and easier than exposing my age—
I signed up for the new St. Hubert’s credit card.

ROB WILSON
President’s Message
Every dollar I spend on gas and groceries delivers 2% back to helping animals and continuing
St. Hubert’s mission. As a vegan, my health food
bills are high. I drive a lot, too. This is truly a free
way for me to donate $20 to St. Hubert’s every
month. And the credit card itself has photos of
animals that were adopted from St. Hubert’s this
past year and is an easy way to strike up a conversation about adopting a shelter pet or
becoming a supporter.
Please join me in trying some new ways to
bring friends, family, neighbors and coworkers
to our St. Hubert’s family. The animals we save
together—through prevention or placement inspire action. Details on the fundraising guide
and the credit card program are in this issue of
the newsletter along with updates and information that will make you proud of the work we’re
doing together.
Here’s wishing you all may enjoy this
newsletter outside on a sunny day.
Warmly,

Volunteer
Spotlight
Volunteer Christine Lincoln’s love for
dogs, perpetual energy and willingness
to help with anything makes her a welcome presence here at St. Hubert’s.
Despite a full-time work schedule elsewhere, Christine can be found in the
shelter every Monday morning helping
to clean the kennels. Donning pink
gloves and a huge smile, she washes the
dishes, wipes down beds, scoops the
poop and scrubs the kennels. This would
tire most volunteers, but after making
sure the kennels are clean and warm for
the dogs, Christine then takes some of
them out for walks. Still wanting to do
more and interested in dog training,
prepared by the staff in the Pet Pantry.
You later relieve yourself in your own outdoor space attached to your run, and you
snuggle down for the night—fed, less itchy,
no doubt exhausted from the whole
ordeal— into fresh, soft bedding made
ready by the staff and volunteers in the
Save a Pet Launderette.
St. Hubert’s next fundraising target is
$1 million to complete medical and treatment areas, lost and found, indoor puppy
play areas, food pantry, laundry and more.

Imagine you’re a hungry, scared dog
pulled from a hoarding situation. You
arrive at St. Hubert’s Animal Welfare
Center, received by open arms that carry
you to an examination room. You are
diagnosed with mange and intestinal
parasites. Skillful, loving hands check you
over thoroughly so your needs may be
immediately addressed. Next you are
taken to the treatment and bathing room
for your special bath to remove the dirt
and grime and soothe your itchy red skin,
medication so the parasites stop depleting
you and you receive necessary vaccinations. Finally you find yourself in a warm,
clean, cozy dog run with 100% fresh air in
the shelter’s Mutts on the Mend ward.
You eat dinner carefully and efficiently
Christine volunteered to take Edith—
a super sweet special needs pit bull who
is deaf—to Basic Obedience classes on
Monday afternoons. She enjoys this experience so much that she also started taking
another one of our dogs for adoption,
Moses, to class on Monday nights. All this
on one of her few days off from her job!
When she’s not at the shelter, Christine
continues to help by fostering some of our
longer-term dog guests for a night or a
weekend. Christine is one of a handful of
volunteers who pick up a dog after work,
take them home to spend time in a quiet
environment in a real household and bring
them back the next day in time for adoptions. Giving the dogs a break from the
shelter, helping them with their manners
and providing socialization optimizes their
chances for adoption. Pictured below are
Christine and her foster buddy Moses,
a 3-year-old lab mix who has been at
St. Hubert’s since Thanksgiving.

On Best Behavior
By Pia Silvani, CPDT-KA
Director of Training and Behavior
Superior Seniors
Enhancing Canine
Brain Power
All dogs age at different rates, depending on factors such as breed, environment,
size and much more. In general, most
research considers canines to be seniors
starting at age seven and geriatrics at age
ten. However, with increasing knowledge
about the aging process of dogs, quality of
life can be enhanced with a good diet,
good veterinary care and a mentally stimulated lifestyle. At St. Hubert’s we consider all dogs eight years and up (cats ten
and up) to be members of our Red Collar
Society and offer them for adoption at half
the usual fee. These experienced canines,
most of whom are generally well mannered and housebroken, find themselves
in need of new beginnings due to a variety of situations over which they have no
control. While they may be seniors in age
they have young hearts and lots of living
left to do—it really isn’t that hard to keep
them in shape and youthful in spirit for
years to come.
The old adage “use it or lose it” doesn’t
apply only to humans. Research shows
that mentally stimulated elderly dogs
retain their cognitive abilities at a much
higher rate than dogs that are not mentally stimulated. Besides helping to increase
longevity, mental stimulation is key to
improving the quality of life for dogs.
The dog’s brain is a muscle. Just like other
muscles and joints, if you don’t keep them
fit, they will not do their job! So, how do
you stimulate an elderly dog?
Physical stimulation is NOT the same
thing as mental stimulation. How many
times have you heard the saying “a tired
dog is a good dog?” Well, maybe, but not
always. Many dogs can swim for an hour,
jog for 3 miles, and return home more
pumped up. While physical exercise is
critical to keep the muscles, joints and
heart strong, it’s important that the dog
have balance in his life. He should be
both physically and mentally fit.
3. Stuffed chew toys
Rather than give your dog a bone to chew
on, find a safe chew toy that can be
stuffed with your dog’s kibble. Instead of
feeding him from his bowl, put some kibble mixed in with a little bit of canned
food into the toy so your dog has to
manipulate it to get the food out. Again,
the dog is receiving both mental and
physical exercise while receiving a reward
throughout.
4. Buddy Hikes
If your dog has dog friends, take them for
a hike in the woods or a romp in the park.
Not only do they get a chance to spend
some quality time together, they can send
some “pee mail” along the way!
While outdoor activities offer continued
opportunities for your dog to learn, exercise
that utilizes the dog’s senses such as sight,
smell and hearing can be extremely stimulating to the dog. Here are a few ideas to
help you keep your best friend in tip top
“mental” condition:
1. Get out of the house
Taking your dog with you to new places
such a walk in a different environment, a
ride in the car, a trip to a pet friendly outdoor café and more can add an immense
amount of mental stimulation to your dog’s
day. Including your dog in your life outside
of the home environment on an everyday
basis provides lots of thinking and observation opportunities on the part of your dog.
2. Trick training
Who says you can’t teach old dog new
tricks? There are a plethora of good books
on the market to help you teach your dog
new tricks. Tricks that encourage body
movement such as bow can stretch the dog’s
back and hindquarters; roll over is wonderful for stretching out the dog’s back; touch
your tail can stretch your dog’s neck and
shoulder area. Not only is the dog getting
physical exercise but learning new tricks is
exercising his mind.
5. Clicker training
Training your dog to offer behaviors using
clicker training is another way to give
your dog mental stimulation without worries. A 5-minute session can drain your
dog’s brain. Again, there are tons of books
on the market to give you ideas.
6. Take a class
There are a ton of classes that your dog
can enjoy such as Rally-O, tracking, and
one of our new favorites at St. Hubert’s
Dog Training School, K9 Nose Work. Dogs
have an amazing sense of smell and a natural desire to track. This is a wonderful
class that can build your dog’s confidence,
burn mental and physical energy and simply provide fun.
No matter how young or old your dog is,
the key to having an everlasting relationship is to spend quality time together
doing things that you both enjoy. Seeing
your dog solve problems, search for food
or become the hit of your party when he
shows off his tricks not only will make
you happier but your dog will thank you
as well.
For more information on the large selection of classes available for dogs young
and older, including the new K9 Nose
Work, please visit our website at
www.sthuberts.org or call us at 973-3770116 for information and registration.
And please consider one of our deserving
senior Red Collar Society dogs when
adding a canine member to your family.

Dear Ruckus:
Your early lifestyle has caused you to become
one of those cats who just isn’t cut out for “life in
the living room.” But that doesn’t mean you can’t
have a the kind of life that will be suited to your
needs. As long as you are neutered and vaccinated
you sound like the perfect candidate for a program like St. Hubert’s Barn Buddies, designed for
our shelter “guests” just like you! There are very
kind folks out there who have barns (or sheds,
workshops or other structures that provide a
warm, safe place to sleep) and would be happy to
provide you with good food and fresh water and
keep an eye on your well being. Even those without an actual building to accommodate you can
provide you your own sheltered, insulated house.
You in return will provide your skills to discourage rodents from taking up residence in the area
you occupy and your feline good looks and agility
will be enjoyed by your caretakers. Cats at St.
Hubert’s who can’t be adopted as traditional
house pets still have the opportunity to live out
their lives in an environment that is compatible
with their desire to be largely unconfined but
ensured of good care. All of our Barn Buddies cats
are spay/neutered, vaccinated and eartipped to
identify them as such from a distance. Provided
with living arrangements like this, you’d be most
likely to develop a mutually comfortable relationship with your caretaker.
Of course, the long-term to solution to situations like yours is to prevent them in the first place
by spaying and neutering free-roaming cats like
your Mom. Thank you Ruckus for giving me the
opportunity to remind all our cat-loving friends
the feline breeding season is underway and now is
the time to act to help reduce the number of homeless kittens who are born every spring to outdoor
cats. If any of our readers or anyone they know is
kind enough to be providing a food source for a
free-roaming cat St. Hubert’s urges them to please
take the all-important next step to spay/neuter.
There are a number of low-cost surgery programs
available to anyone who is willing to continue to
provide care for their feline friends and help to
reduce New Jersey’s cat overpopulation problem.
Please be a part of the solution—call a veterinarian
or for accessible spay/neuter call St. Hubert’s
at 973-377-2295, 1-877-SPAYNJ1 or visit
www.spaynj.org for information. Everyone can
help spread our message that if you are “feeding
a stray, please neuter or spay!”
Good luck to you Ruckus! —Ms. Meow
Paws for News
15th Annual Cat Tea
Our temporary feline residents benefited greatly when a large group of their most dedicated “fans” gathered together for St. Hubert’s
Annual Cat Society Afternoon Tea on February 13. While enjoying a special presentation highlighting new promotions and strategies to
increase adoptions and curb overpopulation from President Heather Cammisa they were treated to a host of tasty and inventive human
edibles—including a batch of adorable Hershey Kiss and cherry “mice” created just for them by Senior Animal Control Officer Lauren
Boyce. This special group of 80 feline fanciers then participated in a lively “auction” and opened their hearts and wallets to provide funds
for 27 spay/neuter surgeries for free-roaming cats which will prevent the birth of hundreds of homeless kittens this year, 200 individual
scratching pads for our kitties to use in their cubbies and several interactive mobiles to provide amusement and exercise to cats at both of
our catteries. As if that weren’t enough they also provided the first eight of the more durable and sanitary stainless steel litterboxes that we
want to replace our current plastic ones. Additional funds were generated by a craft sale from our volunteers and a bountiful tricky tray
raffle. All in all it was a “purrfect” afternoon for our guests and the shelter cats they support. For information about how you can add to
these items that we so desperately need to make the shelter as comfortable and stress-free as possible for the pets, contact Erika Mathews
at emathews@sthuberts.org or call 973-377-7094 x228.
