PAWS Furry Flyer_Winter 2014_3 11/25/2014 9:02 AM Page 1 Winter 2014 First Annual Pet Parade! In celebration of 40 life-saving years, P.A.W.S. of Tinley Park was proud to host their First Annual Pet Parade on September 14, 2014. After a brief meeting with Mayor Zabrocki and the Village of Tinley Park in 2013, we brainstormed ideas of how the Village could help us celebrate our 40th anniversary. Mayor Zabrocki suggested a Pet Parade. This small idea turned into a huge event. We were excited to have Anthony Ponce from NBC5 as our Grand Marshall. Almost 40 different organizations walked in the parade down Oak Park Avenue ranging from Central Middle School’s Marching Band, to local animal rescue groups and local businesses. Immediately following the parade, we had a party in the Metra parking lot in downtown Tinley Park with over 40 vendors. We were able to offer spaces at the party to all non-profit animal organizations at no cost. Our goal was to raise awareness of our shelter and animal adoption over pet shops. Many of the participating rescue groups were able to get animals adopted or potential new foster families from this event. We are also very thankful for many of the participating vendors and local businesses that helped to support the after party. The kids in attendance were engaged by the face painters, balloon animals, DJ and our very own duck pull from the fountain. Wooden Paddle Pizza was gracious enough to set up their traveling oven and donate a portion of their sales to the shelter. While it was only our first ever Pet Parade, the Village received such an amazing response that we are hopeful to make this an annual event to not only raise awareness in our community but also to help to raise some much needed funds for our animals. And last, but certainly not least, we would like to extend our sincere gratitude to the many people that helped make the parade a huge success. The Village of Tinley Park provided support from almost every single department ranging from events, marketing, public works, police, fire, etc. We also could not have made it happen without the hundred or so volunteers that showed up the day of the event to set-up, clean-up, walk dogs, drive vans, pick up tables, sell t-shirts, trim nails, etc. Together we accomplished something truly amazing! 1 PAWS Furry Flyer_Winter 2014_3 11/25/2014 9:02 AM Page 2 7 Reasons Not to 1. Pets require a lot of attention - especially when they are introduced to a new environment. Give Kids Pets for Christmas 2. Puppies, kittens, dogs and cats need time to adjust, and those first few days in a new home are critical. 3. It’s hard to train a puppy when your home is filled with guests. 4. The gifts, gift wrap, foods, and other items can be hazardous to your new pet’s health – especially if you are too busy to be watching him. By Michele Hollow of Parade Magazine Your child has been asking for a pet for a while now and would like one for Christmas. Be a good parent and give your child a video or book on cat or dog care, and plan to adopt a cat or dog after the holidays. 5. Christmas time can be too noisy for pets. 6. You will need to supervise new pets and children when they are 7. together. This will prevent any harm coming to the child or the pet. If your child didn’t ask for a pet or has not done any research, he may not be ready for the responsibility. You need to sit down with your child and talk to him about what’s involved in caring for a pet. Cheers to 40 Life-Saving Years! Nearly 500 shelter friends celebrated our very special 40th anniversary with us at The Odyssey Country Club on March 21, 2014. The night was packed with excitement! We were incredibly honored to have Mr. Andy Avalos of Channel 5 News celebrate with us this year. Mr. Avalos flawlessly played both the emcee and auctioneer for the event. His love and commitment to animals in need was apparent in every heartfelt word. Andy Avalos with Sue Arends former President & 35 year volunteer In celebrating 40 years of volunteerism, shelter President Vicki Dean honored founders Pat Siemsen and Carol Goldsberry for their courage and determination to make a difference. Sue Arends, Jan Riley and Barb Dampier were honored for their commitment to our mission for over 30 years! We premiered our new shelter video, produced and donated by Intersport Sports & Entertainment Marketing Company, Chicago. They succeeded in capturing the true essence of the shelter - our volunteers. (To view our video, please click the link below.) Shopping was on everyone’s agenda with over 180 silent auction packages offering everything from luxurious hotel stays in Galena to one-of-a-kind sports memorabilia. Die-hard White Sox fans bid for fabulous tickets in the first row behind the Sox dugout, while the White Sauvignon fans cleared out our first-ever ‘Wine Grab’ in under an hour! . While Mike LaMantia of Midnight Mike’s Mobile DJ was busy getting the crowd onto the dance floor, Waylon the wonder dog was busy working the crowd collecting dollars in support of his canine and feline friends. Magician Frankie Ace wowed our guest with his sleight-of-hand tricks. To everyone who attended or supported our 40th anniversary gala, and everyone who helps bring our vision to life, thank you. Thank you for knowing that each and every animal matters. And when they don’t matter to anyone else, they matter to us. Your support has helped us save over 24,000 lives since our beginning. Thanks to your support here tonight, a shelter animal will know that someone does care. 2 Andy with Pat Duggan Treasurer and 16 year volunteer PAWS Furry Flyer_Winter 2014_3 11/25/2014 9:02 AM Page 3 A special thank you to: Aileen Andrew Foundation For their generous support of our gala.

PAWS Furry Flyer_Winter 2014_3 11/25/2014 9:02 AM Page 5 Medical Corner Zoonotic Diseases Nancy Mulvihill, Ph.D With all the media attention focusing on Ebola, people are starting to become more concerned about their pets and catching diseases from them or whether or not they can give their cold or flu to their pet. There are some diseases (zoonotic diseases) that humans can get passed to them from animals by several means: inhalation, contact with broken skin, ingestion, or contact with mucous membranes and eyes. Nearly everything you can catch from your dog or cat is preventable and treatable. Properly washing your hands after handling animals is the best prevention along with keeping your pets healthy and vaccinated. Here are some of the diseases your pet may be sharing with you: The most contagious disease is Ringworm, (which is not a worm or parasite); it is a fungal infection of the skin, which can survive for months on items like clothes and bedding before transferring to your pet. Cats and horses are more susceptible to ringworm infestation. It is preventable by washing hands, wearing gloves if your pet is infected, and making sure pet bedding and blankets are washed regularly. Symptoms on your pets would include skin lesions, patches of hair loss with a red mark in the center. Symptoms on people also include red, circular patches on the skin. It is easily treated with prescription medication including pills and ointments. Another disease that your pet can share with you is Giardia. Usually found in dogs, this is a waterborne organism that lives in ponds, streams even puddles in your backyard. This can cause bloody diarrhea in the animals and if spread to humans we can have similar symptoms including diarrhea and gastrointestinal cramping. People can get it by coming in contact with infected animals especially puppies and kittens, that is why it is important to wash your hands after handling your pets, especially before eating or using the restroom. Both humans and pets can be treated with prescription medication. The best prevention for this is to make sure you have clean drinking water available to your pet and to clean up after your dog, coming in contact with your pets’ feces, or another animal coming in contact with it can help to spread the disease. Rabies is the most well-known zoonotic disease, but in the past century it has become more rare, especially with most cities requiring annual rabies vaccinations. It was once considered a fatal disease and was easily transmitted by the animal’s saliva either through a bite to the skin or saliva getting inside an open wound on a person. The disease is still very present in wild animals including bats, raccoons and skunks. Some symptoms you may see in your pet include behavioral changes, loss of appetite, foaming at the mouth and staggering when walking. Human symptoms include general weakness, headache, confusion, flu-like symptoms and possible hallucinations. Treatment is needed immediately, left untreated it is almost always fatal. If you think your pet was exposed contact your veterinarian immediately. Join PAWS of Tinley Park for a fun night of CANDLELIGHT BOWLING! Cost includes 4 games of double scotch and dinner!

I saw in their eyes love and hope, fear and dread, sadness, and betrayal. And I was angry. "God," I said, "this is terrible! Why don't you do something?" God was silent for a moment, and then He spoke softly, "I have done something," he replied. "I created you." -- Author Unknown Minnie Hochwarter Memorial Fund A life that touches others goes on forever. The Minnie Hochwarter Fund was created by Wayne and Joan Hochwarter in the memory of their beloved dog, Minne. They sell homemade bandanas throughout the year to benefit the dogs at PAWS. Their donations and the funds they raise are used for dogs that need extra medical attention.

Ella had lived her life on the streets, scrounging for food, seeking shelter wherever available. Ella has been treated for heartworm. Once Ella is cleared medically by the vet, she will be available for adoption. To date, all the puppies have been adopted. Ella needs a family that accepts her past and will keep her safe. Despite her rough start, Ella is a very happy, sweet, loving dog. If you can open up your home to this beautiful, courageous girl and help her spend her first Christmas in a home with a family of her own, please contact P.A.W.S. We would also like to thank everyone who sent donations to help care for Ella and her puppies. 7 PAWS Furry Flyer_Winter 2014_3 11/25/2014 9:02 AM Page 8 Santa is Coming!

Fulton Brownie Troop 60282 made blankets and rope pull toys, to help the dogs pass their time while waiting for their forever home. The girls also collected items from the shelter’s Wish List. “These boys and girls earn an A+ in compassion” Fifth grader, Faith Reilly, also from Fulton School wrote a letter to the Southtown newsletter when she was in third grade. The letter was called “Think Adoption” below is her letter: Dear Editor, My name is Faith Reilly and I am 9 years old and live in Tinley Park. I am trying to stop puppy mills. Puppy mills are places where people breed mother dogs and they have as many litters as fast as they can, then they sell the puppies to pet stores. But the puppies are actually very sick when they come from the puppy mills and some puppies die. Mother dogs have to spend their entire lives in a cage. So you see puppy mills are very bad. So I’m trying to get the word out to everyone because every year people have to pay a lot of vet bills, then they have to get rid of their dog so lots of dogs don’t have homes. I think everyone should buy their dogs at shelters. Fulton School BrownieTroop 60282 You Go Gina……… Fifth grader, Gina Zientara, donated the proceeds from all the odd jobs she has done. One of the many jobs she worked was with her mom at the Tinley Park Farmer’s Market. This isn’t the first time that Gina helped the shelter. Last summer she made and sold rainbow loom bracelets. Fulton’s Student Council collected food, paper towels, collars and toys to help PAWS’ homeless animals have a more pleasant stay. Ashton Brooke, Maddie Brooke and Hanne Forster had a Kool Aid stand this summer and raised $115.00 in just two days. AND, THEY DIDN’T EVEN SELL ANY Kool Aid. What’s funny about this fundraiser is that their neighbors didn’t buy anything to drink but did give generous monetary donations. Ashton Brooke, Maddie Brooke and Hanne Forster with foster kittens Faith Reilly (Future Furry Flyer editor!) Birthdays, lemonade stands, bake and garage sales Many boys and girls asked their family and friends to buy items for the shelter instead of receiving birthday gifts. Other children had lemonade stands, NJHS project, garage sales, bake sales, dropped off flyers to neighbors requesting and collecting donations for PAWS and there were two children who even put on a play. The caring boys and girls are: Jadyn Crittendon Laura Liden Zoe Huntoo Anastasia Galvin Sarah Johnson Audrey Zednick Josie Fitzpatrick Camille Glenn – National Junior Honor Society Service Project Kaitlyn Gudyka Hailey Parke Eliza DiDomizio Alexis Insley Kaylie Neely Kevin Gallagher Katherine Malcom Jonelle Sarzynski Madeline Smith Abby, Mia, Haven and Luke Sandy Nolan Michael Granata Maeve Hart & Caroline Kopecky Anastasia Galvin Anastasia Galvin 13 PAWS Furry Flyer_Winter 2014_3 11/25/2014 9:02 AM Page 14 Hannah Rahm and her brother Nolan really enjoy helping out at the shelter. Several times this dynamic duo could be seen at the shelter early on a Saturday morning. They would help stamped thousands of envelopes needed for fundraisers, fold laundry, take out the trash and Hannah’s favorite thing to do is organize. She really enjoys straightening up the closet and organizing the dog and cat can food in the cabinets. This brother and sister team are extremely hard workers that truly lending a hand.

According to the ASPCA and many veterinarians it might be time to ditch it. Here’s why: 1. The leash can get caught on you, your dog, a cyclist or jogger and cause tripping, rope burn, cuts and even strangulation. 2. When you use a retractable leash, you’re opening your dog up to all sorts of danger, including those posed by less-friendly dogs, bikes and cars. You may not be able to hit the brakes in time. 3. Retractable leashes allow your dog to approach other dogs uninvited. Other pet parents may not want their dog to greet your dog for a variety of reasons, including your own dog’s health and safety. 4. Perhaps worst of all, should you drop the leash in a busy area, its sudden retraction and the noise the handle makes when dragging on pavement can terrify even the most even- heeled dogs. That means your dog is much more likely to bolt. These are just four reasons why not to use retractable leashes and we’re sure there are many more. The ASPCA is recommending the good old six-foot leash when you’re on busy streets. We would like to thank... for selecting P.A.W.S. as the recipient of the profits from their annual birthday bash. They generously donated $4,000 to help with the care of our homeless animals.

Unfortunately, the cost of printing and mailing the Furry Flyer has been increasing greatly over the past few years. In an effort to reduce our printing and postage costs and maintain our concerted effort to give totally to our orphaned animals, we will be changing how we acknowledge our donors. Because we value all our supporters, donations less than $500 will be acknowledged on our new website. Donations over that amount will continue to be acknowledged in the Furry Flyer. We thank you for your understanding, and helping us to devote more of your donations to the continued care of our animals. Thanks to all who attended our SOLD OUT Bingo on November 8th! You helped raise over $8,000 for our shelter animals. Special thanks to our raffle donors: • Midwest Animal Hospital, Orland Park • Every Good Gift, Palos Heights • Heather’s Haus Florist, Tinley Park • Boston’s Restaurant, Tinley Park • I’ll Be Doggone, Mokena • Sue Safran, Volunteer • Debbie Tomasik Jazz Mateja 17 PAWS Furry Flyer_Winter 2014_3 11/25/2014 9:02 AM Page 18 P.A.W.S. would like to thank the following individuals for their donations and support: Alafogianis, Sara Anderson, Barbara Andresen Family Andruska, Leona April, Laura Arndt, David and Nancy Ash, Jennifer Aspan, Rick Augle, R.
