ock County Humane Society (RCHS) is a private,
charitable animal shelter that cares for approximately
3,000 lost, abandoned, and homeless companion
animals annually. Whether it is to help the lost dog that just
needs a safe spot to rest before going home to a worried
family or the abandoned cat who just wants to find a forever
home, our shelter provides the love, compassion, and care to
make happy endings possible. We receive many cards, letters,
emails, and photographs telling us about those happy endings.
We can think of no greater reward than to hear that a former
shelter resident is safe and loved and, in the process, has
enriched the lives of his or her new family.
The Crook Family featuring “Diesel,” an
RCHS alumnus and “Brindy”
--“We are so happy and lucky to have
found such a great dog that fits into our
lives so perfectly. Thank you so much
RCHS!”

ounds would like to congratulate
Tristan Hanson as our Employee of
the Month. Tristan is a Lead Sales
TH
n
associate
at
our
Mounds Middleton location.
E Mo
He is described by his fellow employees as
organized, efficient, adaptable, confident and
friendly. Tristan is always going above and
beyond to help out and
is always ready to put
in extra work when needed. Tristan
truly takes pride in the store and the
achievements of others. Recently, he
helped revamp the procedure for vendor
returns and his changes have resulted in
a huge improvement in the efficiency of
processing vendor returns. In his free
time Tristan loves to go hiking with his
son and spend time with his two dogs
and six cats. Thank you Tristan for all
Tristan
of your hard work and dedication!

We also work hard to counsel people before animals
become homeless in the first place. Giving people resources
like training and behavior advice, rescue alternatives, or
even supplying food to help feed their pets all result in fewer
animals being abandoned in the first place. We donated over
5,000lbs of pet food to the community in 2011 to keep pets in
their homes.
Our own shelter animals enjoy the generous donation
of Mounds Pet Food Warehouse’s premium brand foods,
Mounds Dog Power and Mounds Purrfect Cat. The quality
and consistency of Dog Power and Purrfect Cat make all the
difference in keeping our shelter pets healthy and happy!
Mounds is a wonderful corporate partner: In addition to their
food donations, they routinely sponsor shelter events and
provide the Rock County Humane Society Satellite Adoption
Center at their Janesville store location. Through our Satellite
Adoption center at Mounds Janesville, over 1,100 fabulous
felines have found their forever homes.
A very large issue we are facing is our crumbling facility.
Our current private shelter was built in 1976 and was never
constructed to serve as a stray receiving and holding facility,
and we lack the proper isolation, quarantine, holding, and
medical areas that are imperative for proper stray animal
control and care. Without suitable infrastructure, we simply

CRATCH, SCRATCH, SCRATCH. If this is a familiar
sound in your home, you know all too well that the allergy
season started early this year. Record-breaking temperatures
this past March meant a much more prolific blooming season this
Spring. While I loved the bountiful of blooms that the weather
brought, I disliked the extra allergens that they released, as I too
have a dog affected by allergies. If your dog has been diagnosed with
Atopy (seasonal allergies) this article is for you. If you think that all
that scratching your dog is doing might be allergies too, check with
your veterinarian for a proper diagnosis before you try anything at
home.
For those readers that do not know what Atopy is, the proper
definition is specifically “an allergic reaction in the body resulting
from inhaled or contact allergens such as pollen, mold or dust”?
Other causes of itching could come from a
food sensitivity, a skin infection, a parasitic
infection (such as mites or fleas) and other
less common problems. A condition like
Atopy can also be complicated by a secondary
skin infection, or your dog may even have
multiple causes of scratching going on all
together. While some causes of these allergies
occur year-round (like dust), many of them
are seasonal and most dogs will get a break
from the symptoms for at least part of the
year. Certain years can be worse than others
depending on what the allergen is and how well it is blooming.
Treatment for seasonal allergies will usually include a variety
of modalities. My first line of itch control will usually be some
sort of anti-histamine. There are a variety of types and strengths
available and some of them are even available over the counter. Your
veterinarian will let you know what medication and what strength is
best for your dog. Medicated bathes and topical sprays are another
aspect of treatment that will be used commonly to help calm the
itch. You should not use any shampoos designed for humans as
they will be particularly irritating to a dog with a skin condition.
Unless your dog has fleas, I would also avoid the use of flea and tick
shampoos. If you are bathing your pet frequently, you may want to
ask your veterinarian about some of the medicated conditioners that

R
RCHS
cannot provide a service that we physically cannot provide,
no matter how much we want to. Another huge hurdle is the
fact that there is currently no county-wide solution or even
consensus on what the stray animal issues are or how to best
address them. We have always maintained our strong desire to
continue serving the stray animals and the communities within
Rock County. It has never been our desire to discontinue
stray animal control service as we believe we can best serve
the many complicated medical, behavioral, and legal needs
of animals during their stray hold as well as give them an
opportunity at a new, loving home should they not be claimed
by their owners. We very much want to partner with all
municipalities within Rock County to provide the public
health services that people expect and the humane care and
compassion that pets deserve.
Fun things are afoot at
RCHS as well! While
our building may be old,
our creativity is fresh!
We have spruced up our
community cat rooms
as well as our visiting
rooms. “Pounce House”
is our community kitten
room where kittens can
socialize and play while
“Cat Towne” provides
the same benefits for
our more mature feline
residents!
How we treat animals

are and what quality of
life we expect. In return
for the trust animals have in us, we owe them the responsibility
of caring for them. The community shares this responsibility
as a local animal shelter is only as strong as the people who
support it. The best shelter is truly a humane community.
Kindness to animals builds a better world for all of us.

are available. This will help control the drying out of the skin that
happens with frequent baths and can also be used to help relieve
itching in-between baths. When the basic anti-histamine medications
aren’t enough, your veterinarian may prescribe some drugs that work
to lessen the body’s immune system’s response to the allergens.
Steroids, such as prednisone or Temaril-P, or a wonderful alternative
named cyclosporine, may be used in the more advanced cases of
allergies. Treating secondary skin infections that can flare up during
the season may also be needed. Supplements or even diet changes
to less irritating food ingredients may recommended for your itchy
dog. I am always a big fan of supplementing Omega-3 fatty acids
into a pet’s diet. In a few cases this supplement alone has markedly
decreased the dog’s scratching and brought them great relief (and a
great coat as well!).
For dogs that don’t seem to respond to the
basic allergy controls and medications, allergy
testing and desensitization is the next step.
Much like people, there are both skin and
blood tests that can be performed on your dog
to determine what allergens are the culprits.
Once those are known, special shots that have
low levels of those allergens in them will be
prepared specifically for your dog and then a
program of injections is set up. This is known
as desensitization and can bring great relief
to about two-thirds of the pets that receive
them. Occasionally, a few animals are “cured” of their allergies, but
in most cases these injections are carried on the rest of your pet’s
life. Some owners have pursued allergy testing without taking the
desensitization step, and that is fine too. It at least allows you to
know what things are making your pup itch and may be things that
you learn to avoid.
If your dog is scratching away and you don’t know if it is allergies
or not, please talk to your veterinarian and see what is going on! If it
is allergies there are actually a lot of things that can be used to bring
some needed relief to you canine companion.
