From Feral to Friendly

Ok, so I admit that this article may be a
bit of a contradiction. For the most part, I
have come to believe that feral (wild) cats
do not belong in shelters. I believe in TNR,
(trap, neuter and release) programs that
are used in many communities and have
proven effective. These colonies do require
a caretaker – someone to provide food and
shelter from the harsh elements. However,
our severe climate and lack of someone
willing to manage these colonies often makes
TNR impossible. So this story will focus on a
few cases where we have been successful in
winning these tough nuts (feral cats) over to
our way of thinking.
It takes time – a ton of time. It takes
unending patience, and again, it does not
always work. But let me share with you a few
of the happy times when we have reached
our goal.
Sunshine was one of our first big
successes! He came to us in September
2003. He was live trapped. The people who
discovered him were having a hard time
ignoring him because of the huge abscess
on his cheek, a hazard of his free and easy
lifestyle that truthfully is not so easy at all.
Sunshine started out with us like they all
do – angry, afraid, withdrawn, defensive,
hissing, hiding, a combination of all of the
above and more. We think he was saying, “I
don’t want no help, I don’t need no help!”
We beg to differ. And so it began, the ‘ignore’
therapy we call it. We clean their litter box
daily, carefully slide fresh food (with cleverly
continued on page 2
McClintock! - then
Faris -then
Continued from page 1
McClintock! - now
hidden medicine) and water in their
direction, never taking our eyes
off the slitty eyed daggers staring
back at us. We let them hide for a
while – sometimes a long while.
We speak softly to them, touch
them with feathers or gloves, give
them irresistible catnip toys or
canned food, searching for whatever
weakness we find in their streetsmart facade. Then the day comes
when they are no longer hissing
and hiding. They are curiously
watching us as we go about our daily
business with their neighbors. They
soon expect that something good
is coming their way, be it canned
food, warm chicken and broth or a
chin scratch that ends up to be quite
pleasurable for all. Remember when
I said it takes time? In Sunshine’s
case he lived with us until January 2009! Yes, he was adopted!
Faris came to us in April 2009, in a similar manner as Sunshine – live trapped and not happy
about it. We nursed him through ear mites, pneumonia, continued upper respiratory infections,
all the while doing our best to convince him that there was a better life ahead than the one he
was forced to live on the street. He eventually agreed and was adopted in July 2010. We continue
to get letters and updates of his new life as a pampered house cat – a friendly, snuggly family
member who is very much loved. Wow, what a transition!
Fiona came to us in October 2009. She was a petite, leery, tabby girl who was ready to be
adopted in November 2010. Either we are getting better, or the cats are giving in easier, or we
just get lucky sometimes, I can’t say for certain.
Currently residing at the shelter are Snowpea, who came to us in September 2011 and
McLintock!, who arrived January 2012. Snowpea has graduated to living in Carrie’s office where
she is gaining confidence every day and likes to playfully rush out from under a chair, swat an
oblivious lobby cat or two and zip back to her hidey hole. Her developing sense of humor and
confidence is a true delight to see.
McLintock!, our handsome cover photo star, is still a work in progress, but what progress
we have seen so far! In our attempts to live trap a stray dog foraging at the Bismarck landfill, we
baited a trap that one day had a crouching and unhappy Mclintock! inside. And so it began again.
He is not yet ready for a family but I absolutely know he will be some day. While he is slow to
trust, he has progressed a great deal in a few short months. He is not ready for lap sitting yet, but
he loves to have his chin scratched and will drool a river when someone he trusts spends time
scratching him all over. Like the others, he is not vicious, just very, very afraid.
Now there have been cases where our brand of magic was met with nothing but resistance,
and those few are now barn cats with caretakers. Some have been on their own for so long, or
have had no human contact ever, or negative human experiences. We do the best we can with
each one, and count our successes
Faris- now
one life at a time. It takes a lot of
time, and does tie up kennel space
for an extended period, but to our
way of thinking, it might not be
easy, but the happy results speak
for themselves.

Planning for the future
By Sue Buchholz, Shelter Director
G
reetings friends! We are entering into an exciting time in CDHS
history to be sure. In 1994 our small but determined group
of animal lovers took a huge leap of faith and purchased our
current property three miles north of Mandan. I recall we (barely)
scraped together $25,000 for a down payment, and had a 10-year
mortgage on the balance.
We jumped feet first into daily animal rescue, sheltering and care,
and we did it with the approval of a dedicated Board of Directors,
hard-working employees, the support of a generous community, and
many local veterinarians whose contributions and guidance has been
invaluable. We were able to pay off our 10-year mortgage early, in three short years, and have continued
to forge ahead every day. Our rewards have come in the shelter and rescue of nearly 4,000 animals!
Another impressive number comes from our Spay/Neuter Assistance Program (SNAP). To date,
CDHS has financially played a part in more than 11,000 animals in our communities being spayed and
neutered. 11,000! Imagine the litters that have been prevented; it boggles my mind!
As most of you probably already know, we have outgrown our current location. Septic issues and the
age of our original buildings have made it impossible to expand on this site. However, after two years of
looking at many options, we found a piece of property that we could afford, is in an excellent location,
and is double the size of our current four acres. These are some big positives!
There are some hurdles too, as there always is. The land we purchased is just off Bismarck
Expressway on Yegan Road (just southeast of the State Penitentiary). Our land sits very low and actually
has small pockets considered to be wetlands. Therefore, the soil makeup is not the best quality for
constructing a building. The type of soil and the amount of fill that we need to raise the elevation for
building and parking is an issue to be addressed, but make no mistake – it can be done!
We are doing all due diligence to make sure we are planning correctly for our needs. We are
working with local architect Jeff Ubl, who also partners with Animal Arts out of Colorado. Animal Arts
has the shelter experience and know-how we were looking for, yet Ubl’s guidance will keep mostly local
components to our project. We are currently working on a building design and hope to have a schematic
to share with our supporters soon, as an official kick off to our Capital Campaign.
We are not yet sure of the final estimations of what this entire project will cost and how much money
we will need to raise to make our dreams a reality, but we will share this as soon as we have hard facts.
We know we have a lot of money to raise, but again, we also know in our hearts it can be done!
Looking back, we have taken on some challenges in the past that seemed almost impossible, but
we learned that nothing is impossible. The need to care for homeless animals in our community is still a
great need, according to the number of people contacting us every day for assistance. The animals we
care for (and quickly grow to love) just keep coming, and until the day comes that our services are no
longer needed, we must continue to meet those
needs. It is our privilege, honor and responsibility
to do so. We encourage everyone to support our
efforts as you are able, and make our community
a better place for people and animals alike. We
are humbled and honored to partner with you!

Focus On All Fours
CDHS always working to stop
animal cruelty
By Cameo Skager, CDHS Board President
Many of our supporters have been asking us where CDHS stands
on the new animal cruelty initiated measure that is being introduced
in North Dakota. We obviously support stronger animal cruelty laws.
We have been a vocal proponent of the need for North Dakota to
have a felony animal cruelty law for many years.
After much long and hard consideration, discussions, attending
meetings and more discussions, your board of directors voted
to stand neutral on this particular initiated measure. We felt the
initiative language, as drafted, did not address the types of cruelty we see most often – that of
puppy mill situations, starving animals and the ability to address cruelty to all animals.
We truly are fighting for a stronger cruelty law, and to that end, we have continued our efforts
in working on a draft of new legislative language that could be presented at the next legislative
session. (Prior to the last legislative session, CDHS was very involved with a working group that
drafted an animal cruelty bill. We succeeded in coming up with language that was acceptable to
the entire group, but the group was unsuccessful in finding the appropriate sponsors for the bill,
and the bill subsequently failed.)
We have re-joined forces with this working group and are again working on a legislative
bill draft to strengthen the state’s animal care laws and provide a better, more comprehensive
strategy – including definitions of animal abandonment, cruelty and neglect, and including Class
C felony provisions.
The working group represents a broad spectrum of North Dakota animal interests and
includes Central Dakota Humane Society, Dakota Zoo, Fargo-Moorhead Humane Society, North
Dakota Farm Bureau, North Dakota Farmers Union, North Dakota Stockmen’s Association and
North Dakota Veterinary Medical Association. The working group also has received input from
the State Board of Animal Health and the North Dakota Department of Agriculture.
The working group strongly supports the proper care and treatment of all animals, and its
members work to provide that care every day in their respective capacities. We are optimistic
and hopeful that this diverse group will provide the unshakable foundation upon which a
strengthened North Dakota Humane Treatment of Animals law can be built.
We will continue advocating for a stronger animal cruelty law in North Dakota, and once that
has been achieved, we will continue to speak for and defend the animals who cannot speak for
themselves.

Be cautious when landscaping
The landscaping material, cocoa mulch, can be dangerous to animals, especially dogs,
who may want to eat the mulch materials. The mulch contains a chemical called theogromine,
and also caffeine. Low doses can cause mild gastrointestinal upset (vomiting, diarrhea, and
abdominal pain). Higher doses can cause rapid heart rate, muscle tremors, seizures and death.
Although updated versions of cocoa mulch are being labeled as safe for pets, it may be best to
use cedar or another type of mulch in your landscaping projects.

Bismarck-Mandan’s No-Kill Shelter
During the Bene-Pet
event, CDHS honored
some outstanding
volunteers and
supporters.
Those honored included:
President’s Award – The President’s Award
went to Rita O’Neill and Robin Martin. These two
ladies are a shining example of what it truly means
to love CDHS and love the animals. Both are longstanding board members and hard-working and
dedicated volunteers. For many of our volunteers,
helping CDHS is just a part of their life. It is not
an imposition and not a heartache to put in their
hours. It is simply something that is a part of the
weekly schedule, something that they do because
they care. Congratulations to Rita and Robin!
Volunteers are priceless
By Mandy Schaaf, Volunteer Coordinator
Volunteers were recognized at BenePet for their hours of donated time and
I’d like to acknowledge them in this
newsletter as well.

Shining Star Award - The Shining Star Award
goes to a young person or young people who
are helping the animals in a profound way. This
year’s award went to the third-grade classes at
Lewis and Clark Elementary School in Mandan.
These students are in charge of the school-wide
collection of aluminum cans, with the money going
to CDHS. Also, instead of a holiday gift exchange
among themselves, they all bring donations for
CDHS. The teachers helping to encourage these
youngsters to have a generous and kind outlook
are Miss Amber Wickham, Mr. Kelly Rexine and
Mrs. Boriana Huck. Congratulations to the Lewis
and Clark third-graders!

“Doing great things for pets and people.”
Kathy Hegel and Pat Bosch usually work
in a team and try to walk as many dogs
as they can on Saturdays. They help me
often with meet & greets where adoptable
dogs are taken to a business location
and we let them experience a little of the
world around them.
Marg Smith who hates being in the limelight, teaches the dog walking class once a month.
This class is required for each and every dog walker at the shelter. She makes the class fun,
is encouraging and even after the same volunteer has asked 10 questions that have nothing
to do with the dog walking class.
Jan Moser – our “couch sitting and dog hugging extraordinaire” takes her time with the
scared dogs we have at the shelter, sitting with them on the couch in the dog building for
hours letting them learn how to be loved for the first time.
Darryl Njos, or as some of us call him, the Dog Whisperer, has a knack of putting dogs
together that haven’t really liked each other in the past but seem to somehow know that
Darryl will introduce them in neutral territory and spend the time letting them get to know
each other.
Katja and James Weiand, also work together as a team and assist greatly with most of the
meet & greets in Bismarck/Mandan. They generally are assigned the “big boys” because
even though most of the dogs outweigh Katja by 50 pounds she is feisty and makes them
listen (James too).
Marilyn Opperud and Laura Lee-also work in a very nice pair and generally take our more
long term and often smaller dogs for meet & greets. I’ve seen Marilyn literally put her
finger in a dogs mouth at a meet & greet when the dog had lost his patience and was a little
overwhelmed by an overenthusiastic visitor so that if he snapped Marilyn would feel the
sting.
Jolene Podoll is our CDHS photographer and is constantly repeating that she is not a
professional photographer and we just laught at her! Her photos can bring you to tears. The
most precious gift of her photos is truly worth ten thousand words.
Gary Hanson has been our regular “Pitty” walker for quite some time. We have three pit
bulls and two of them (although they are very nice dogs) might appear a little intimidating
when you first meet them. That doesn’t keep Gary and Kristina from walking them every
time they get the chance.
Mary Jo Sogge is a regular visitor to the both the dog and cat building. She spends time
with the special needs cats that need love too.
Sandy Gugel and her team, Camie O’Conor and Janelle and Eric Heninger, pick up and
count and maintain the canisters that are located all over Bismarck/Mandan and some even
in outlying areas. Sandy and her group use their own money for gas and their lunch hours
and whatever spare time they can give to pick up or drop off canisters that are located in
over 100 businesses. We are able to bring in around $1500 a month just through the canister
funds.
Lindsey Milliken helps with Meet & Greets whenever she is available, and hangs out at
the shelter on a Saturday with the cats and she can also do a very realistic impression of a

Sofie
Sofie (Chena) is doing
great! She has adjusted to our
house very well. She loves
to play with her new sister,
Chloe, and is doing really
well with her potty training,
and will even sit and come
when she is called. She
also actually likes to
snuggle, which I really
love too! She will come
up to me and bump me with her nose when she
wants some love. She is still a bit shy (barky) around new people but
she is making tons of progress. She has learned so many tricks, and
LOVES treats. She is such a special addition to our family and I cannot
even remember what life was like without her! Thank you!
- Teri
I wanted to send you an
e-mail to let you know how I
am doing and say thanks for
talking such good care of
me. I know I was somewhat
“challenging” to find a
home for but when you
picked one for me you
sure did find a good one!
Now rather than running
around frantically in my kennel
all day I get to go to work.
When we aren’t at work, I get to go for walks and lots of
car rides. After work and a walk with mom, we go home and I watch
TV with my new dad. Where has American Idol been my whole life?
Also, I get the best spot in the family room, behind the footstools
and up against the couch. With my parents on either side of me I am
protected from any danger that may enter the family room. But the
very best part is my orange blankie – I love my orange blankie and
will go anywhere it goes!
I also have a new grandma who baked me an organic chicken!!
Can you believe it? My very own chicken! I am not a big eater and a
girl has to watch her figure but I had it mixed in with my dinner and
boy was that tasty! So things are going well here in the big city and I
am settling in nicely. Give my love to everyone!
- Priscilla
Julius
Here’s an update on Julius, who was in your care from November
2008 to Dec. 3, 2011. When I first started looking at cats I didn’t
notice him, but when I did I thought he looked so sad and found out
he’d had a tough life and those were two of the reasons I wanted
to adopt him. He has really changed! It only took him a few days to
adjust to our home and we found that he is a very happy cat that
loves to play with his toys
and sit in my lap. We
bought him a toy chirping
bird and we’ll hear it
going “cheep, cheep”
when he’s playing with
it in the middle of the
night. He is a lot of fun
to have around and
we’re very glad we
adopted him.
- Greg and Elaine
Roxi and Redneck
(formerly Redmon and Ramona)
This father-daughter team have settled in great in Dickinson. They
have brought so much love and happiness into our lives. Each night,
they greet Jerry at the door with wagging tails and kisses. They enjoy
the big fenced-in yard and all the love and attention we give them and
the never ending supply of toys. We are truly blessed they chose us
and feel as if it was truly meant to be! Thank you!

Piper
Razi
Piper is a wonderful
addition to our family. He is
the self-appointed cat spat
referee. He breaks the cats
up any time he even thinks
they are going to fight.
He has gained about five
pounds and the vet says
he is perfect! We let his
hair grow out all winter,
but I took him to the
groomer this week. She
made him look great! Thanks
again!
- Laura
I thought I should
let you know how Razi’s
doing now. She was
started on ear drops.
She was put on an oral
antibiotic since her
teeth were so bad. On
March 13, Razi had
her first “beauty salon”
day. She was bathed,
blown dry, cut, and had
her nails trimmed. Razi used to be so scared of people, but she was
pretty good at the salon as long as I stood by her. When I leave a
room for over 10 minutes, she starts barking and doesn’t stop until I
come back. She will “come” most of the time when I call her, and by
watching her, we know when she has to go potty. She gets along fine
with Tia, my German Shepherd--adopted from you also, and with all
five cats.
I think she’s doing great and is learning fairly fast. AND SHE
LOVES TV. The first night I brought her home, and turned on the TV
(42 inch) she stood completely motionless and stared for 20 minutes.
Honestly! I timed it. It was so funny. She watches the Weather Channel
every morning. I could go on and on about how much we love her.
Thank you for letting us adopt her. She makes our home feel “like a
home” again.
- Sharon
Leopold and Stotch
Here’s an update on, and a few pictures of, Leopold (Tarraco) and
Stotch (Nolan), which we adopted from the CDHS earlier this year. They
LOVE to lounge on the bed together and watching Animal Planet (like
in the picture attached), chasing each other all around the house and
have adjusted to their new home extremely well – in fact, I think it’s
more their home than ours? Thanks for being so easy to work
with, we are so happy with our choice to adopt!
- Savannah and Stephen
Godiva
Godiva is doing fine. She
has gotten used to stairs, TV,
mirrors and closed patio
screens. She is making
progress with meeting
strangers but still is afraid
of barking dogs and large
dogs. We go for a two-mile
walk, weather permitting,
three to five times a week so she can
meet people and other dogs. She still doesn’t bark but
this week I have heard a few “yips” when she is sleeping. She has
learned to play with her toys. Loves to chase tennis balls, shake her
“Fox Tail”, etc. She is such a clown and such a joy to have around.

• Some call her JoAnne, some call her the chicken lady and some call her Mommy – JoAnne
Deringer, Sue’s mom, is at the shelter every day from 1 p.m. to 6 p.m. washing, drying,
sorting, folding, washing, drying, sorting, folding and then does it again for five hours.
JoAnne put in 1800 hours in 2011. 1800! That’s a lot!
• Three of our long term board members – Cameo Skager, Cathie Thill and Karen Schwan
Holman have been not only on our board for many years (among the three of them) but
they also volunteer for many events, Cathie is in charge of the Annual Phantom Ball and
Karen handles the finances (or lack of sometimes) and Cameo does many, many, many
things that we aren’t even aware of.
They say it takes a village to raise a child. It takes a whole lot of volunteers to keep CDHS
in business.

Volunteers of the
Year (two awards) Tana
Pendergast has been
a volunteer with CDHS
for about four years and
during that time has been
a tremendous help to the
shelter staff. She has
taken on any and all tasks
that are sent her way,
and all with a smile. She
runs errands, organizes
the photo books, picks up
supplies, helps decorate for parties and events, helps
with the yard work, helps with Shaggy Shuffle, the
Bismarck Tribune Sports Show, and meet and greets.
She also volunteers several afternoons a week at the
shelter, helping staff and customers. Tana seemed
to enjoy volunteering at CDHS so much that we
eventually asked her to come to work at the shelter.
She now works a few mornings a week, cleaning cat
condos.
Paige Mattson has been a volunteer with CDHS
for about three years and is one of those people
who works in the background. You may not see her
too often, but she is always busy helping with our
events. Paige uses her expertise in design to create
colorful and interesting posters for our events. She
also does the layout and design of our newsletter.
For the last two years Paige has designed a beautiful
wall calendar, and has been instrumental in getting
donations of printing costs from printing companies.
Congratulation to Tana and Paige!

Saving
Bacardi
By Sue Buchholz
Bacardi is a dog who came to us about a
month ago. A compassionate traveler from
Hazen was, in his words, “in the middle of
nowhere just across the ND/SD state line,”
when he happened upon a small dog beside
the highway. Thankfully he cared enough
to stop and give her a helping hand. As you
Central Dakota Humane Society
can see, her physical condition was horrible.
He brought her to our shelter, and we are so
thankful he did!
We immediately took her to a veterinarian
where she had a full examination and a skin
scraping. Besides the obvious lack of care
and nutrition, Bacardi suffered from (based
on the vet’s report) “ears filled with ticks, face
and legs hyperkeratosis, alopecia, crusting,
hyperpigmentation, mousy smell, minimal
puritis, numerous ticks all over body and a skin
scrape positive for Demodex (a type of mange)
and pyoderma.”
We took her back to the shelter and began
to care for her as instructed. We shaved her
patchy fur as close as we could, and applied
Revolution to combat the ticks and fleas that
she may be harboring. The next day we gave
her a bath, and we started oral antibiotics to
fight her skin infection. We are feeding her and
building up her strength. Then we will begin the
Mitaban dips once every two weeks to battle
the mange. Thankfully, this type of mange is
not contagious, so that will help the process
considerably.
Bacardi has a long road of recovery ahead
of her, probably many months of medicated
dips. Our vet said that to get to this point she
must have had this condition for a very long
16
time, probably since she was a puppy. In spite
of all this Bacardi is a happy, energetic dog
that craves to be touched. She is showing
improvement already, and it is our hope to
chronicle her recovery in the months to come.
It’s too early to say if we will have the happy
ending we are striving for, a healthy dog
adopted into a loving home, but we pledge to
give her our best efforts to make that happen.
We will keep you posted as the rest of her story
unfolds.
