Summer 2008 - Humane Society of Boulder Valley

Summer 2008
Dear Friends,
Summer is here with warm weather, flowers in bloom and people enjoying the outdoors with
their pets. The summer months are our most hectic, as we see an increase in stray animals
coming through our doors, as well as numerous litters of kittens and puppies that also
need homes.
We have some very exciting summer events coming up, including our 19th Annual Cause for
Paws 5K/3K. After two years in Broomfield, we are bringing this dog-friendly event back to
the streets of Boulder! The Doggie Dash 5K race will take place just off 55th Street, and the
3K walk will once again meander along the Boulder Creek Path. Everyone will meet back at
the Humane Society of Boulder Valley after their exercise for a terrific pancake breakfast
and Pet Expo! I hope you’ll join me and Hailey at the event. We’ve also added a special
corporate challenge this year—read more about that inside and get your company involved
in helping homeless animals this summer.
You’ll also read about one staff member’s experience with our Rescue Waggin’ animal
transfer program. The Humane Society of Boulder Valley transferred over 3,000 animals
from other communities last year—animals that without this important program would
have faced an uncertain future. Through our partnerships with shelters and rescue groups
throughout this region we are able to give these animals the chance to find a loving home.
Thank you once again for taking the time to read about what we’re up to here at the
Humane Society of Boulder Valley. Together we are saving animals and improving lives.

In This Issue:
Several months ago, our animal transport vehicle, the PetSmart Rescue Waggin’, was involved
in an accident. Thankfully, all passengers were okay but both PetSmart drivers needed
recovery time and the vehicle was too damaged to be salvaged. Determined to continue
the program, PetSmart bought a large van for us and we set up a schedule for our staff to
transfer animals. That is how Melissa, an Animal Welfare Associate, and I got to go to Salt Lake
County Animal Services shelter.

It is the mission of
the Humane Society
of Boulder Valley
to protect and enhance the lives
of companion animals by promoting
healthy relationships between
pets and people.
I arrived at the Humane Society of Boulder Valley to begin our eight hour drive to Salt
Lake City, Utah. January Morgan, our Transfer Supervisor, had packed the van with crates
of various sizes—matching the sizes of the animals we were picking up. Armed with a list of
animals—6 puppies and 10 adults—we could not wait to pick up our precious cargo! After a
long and windy drive up through Wyoming and down into Utah, we arrived.
After a good night’s rest, we pulled into the parking lot at 5 a.m. and three employees
were there to greet us. We were amazed and grateful that at this early hour, we would
have so much help. One by one, we got each dog out of its kennel and did a health check
and paperwork review. Each dog got a paper collar and was loaded into the appropriate
crate. It was a crazy, chaotic time but as organized as possible with five people diligently
working in the dark.
We had such a diversity of dogs. The puppies were Lab, Golden, Boxer, and Weimaraner
mixes. The adults were Lab, Rottweiler, Poodle and Terrier mixes. There was Wayne, the
biggest dog, who was very friendly but absolutely terrified of the van. It took three of us and
a whole lot of treats to get Wayne into his crate. There was Ruger, the Weimaraner puppy, a
little bundle of goofiness. The puppies, all named after candy bars corresponding to their
colors, were so tiny and adorable. And, then there was Mabel. Each of the shelter employees
said a special good-bye to Mabel before we left. A staff favorite, she had been awaiting a
home for over nine weeks. She bounded into a “second story” crate herself, like she was
ready to get this show on the road. Each dog in our care was so beautiful and unique.
The staff and shelter had gone to great lengths to insure each of the dogs was ready for
the trip. Their care for the dogs really showed. And they seemed sure we had to be angels
sent directly to help them and the dogs.
By 6 a.m., we were on our way, determined to make the trip as easy as possible for the
dogs and not stop unless necessary. We drove through snow, rain, wind, and lots of
construction. The most amazing thing about our trip was the QUIET. We expected eight
solid hours of barking and whining with 16 dogs in the van. Instead, each dog went to
sleep. There wasn’t a sound as we watched the sunrise that morning. Only when we got off
the interstate in Longmont did the dogs wake up and start to get excited.
At 2 p.m., we pulled into our Boulder parking lot and our staff was outside waiting for us.
We quickly unloaded the dogs and took them for a walk, then brought them inside where
each dog had a clean kennel with bedding and fresh water.
The dogs were examined by our veterinary staff, sterilized, and made available for
adoption. When I walked by their kennels in the Adoption Center, I couldn’t help but think
they remembered me—the way they barked and got excited—and maybe they did. After our
eight hours together, I remembered each of them by name and their “personalities.” Each
time I find out one of them is adopted, I can’t help but smile.
When I got to work the next morning, I found out that Ruger, the Weimaraner puppy had
been adopted already. To his new guardians, Ruger was just the bundle of energy and joy
they were looking for to complete their family. To Ruger, this new family was the second
chance he so deserved.
Our Animal Transfer Program makes a difference in so many pets’ and people’s lives. I
feel a tremendous amount of pride for our organization after my experience. Our transfer
program will save 3,000 animals this year alone! It truly embodies the energy, passion and
spirit behind the work we do here every day.

What’s My Dog?
Kat Burns, Veterinary Practice Manager
Looking at big brown eyes, floppy ears, curly tail and forty pounds of happy, spoiled dog,
I have no idea what breed my dog Bailey is. When we adopted her, she was a puppy with
all the coloring of a German Shepherd Dog. So, she was listed in the shelter seven years
ago as a German Shepherd “mix.”
Bailey’s ears never perked up straight and tall. She never got to even half the size one
would expect. Her tail is curly. Her ears droop and start low on her head like the cartoon
character Snoopy. She’s pretty darned cute, but she’s probably not a German Shepherd.
She’s small…maybe she’s part Shiba Inu? Who knows? Well, we will soon!
The Humane Society of Boulder Valley Veterinary Clinic is now offering the Wisdom
Panel™ MX Mixed Breed Analysis. This DNA test looks for breed-specific genetic markers
with a reported 95% accuracy. With a simple blood draw, and a nail-biting three to four
week wait, you can find out what’s in your mixed breed dog, too!

The test can identify 134 AKC-registered dog breeds. Clients receive a customized report
explaining all of the results found in their mixed-breed dog. The report goes on to give more
information about each breed and the characteristics you might see in your dog as a result.
We look forward to finding out what Bailey is. Stay tuned to our website for her results!
Wouldn’t it be hilarious if we found out that she had trace amounts of Bichon Frise!
You can visit www.whatsmydog.com for more information about the testing process.
For more information about the Canine DNA test, or to schedule an appointment for a
test for your dog, call our veterinary clinic at 303-442-4030 ext 680.

Shelter Medicine
Protect your
pet from fleas
and ticks
Although we have fewer problems than in
other parts of the country, Colorado does have
its share of fleas and ticks. It is important to
take steps to protect your companion animal.
Both fleas and ticks can be found on deer, prairie
dogs, fox, skunk and other small mammals. Fleas
are responsible for transmitting tapeworms, and
plague. Ticks are more common in Colorado, and
can spread erlichia, tularemia, and in rare cases,
Lyme disease. Rocky Mountain spotted fever is
also transmitted by ticks, though it is not very
common in Colorado. Many of these diseases can
be transmitted to humans, so protecting your
pet will also protect your family. Your pet may
be at higher risk if you hike frequently in the
mountains, live in an area with urban wildlife,
are expecting out-of-state guests with their
pets, or plan to travel with your pet outside of
Colorado. A simple monthly dose of topical flea
and tick preventative can be highly effective
against these parasites. We recommend that
you contact your veterinarian for the best
recommendation of flea and tick
preventative products for your pet.
Thank you so much for your support of this year’s Puttin’ on the Leash! One of the
programs we featured at the event was shelter medicine. We shared a touching
video about two of our residents—Buddy and Shamrock.
Every day, animals arrive at the Humane Society of Boulder Valley in great need of
care. These animals, lost or abandoned, or given up by their family, come to us with
injured and ill bodies and spirits. For the stray dog who has limped on a broken leg
for weeks, to the kitten who is struggling to stay alive after losing her mother, to
the dog battling a life threatening virus, our shelter medicine program provides the
medical rehabilitation needed to save lives.
The shelter and clinic work side by side to ensure the animals that come through
our doors are provided the medical attention they need to regain their strength,
heal their injuries and begin rebuilding their trust and hope. Last year, through our
experienced veterinarians and support staff, we dedicated over $600,000 in care
to ill and injured animals.
As a cornerstone of our mission, our shelter medicine program allows us to make
choices about what is best for the individual animal while still helping to save as
many lives as possible. Quite simply it is the difference between life and death for
countless animals each year. Animals who in another community or state might
face euthanasia because of the lack of resources for the care needed.
Buddy and Shamrock were given the treatment and second chance they needed to
heal their bodies and their hearts and begin a life with a new loving family. Buddy,
the puppy fighting parvo, is fully recovered and living happily
with his new adoptive family. Shamrock, the kitty with serious
burns, is doing great, recovering with her foster family and
looking better every day!
Thank you again, together we can save animals and
improve lives!

Thank You
We would like to extend a hearty “Thanks Mateys!” to all of the incredible sponsors of this year’s Puttin’ on the Leash: The
Pirates of Petzance. We raised over $325,000 at this year’s event, and couldn’t have done it without the amazing support
of these businesses and individuals who care so much about the animals that we serve.

The Power of Animal
Assisted Therapy
Gale Dunlap, Volunteer
At times I wonder if I’m doing any good. Then I push through the hospital’s front door and
see the receptionist smiling: “Maya’s here,” she says greeting my black lab who wiggles
and licks her hand. “How’s Maya doing today? Oh, you’re so beautiful.”
Maya’s a pet therapy dog thanks to the Humane Society’s Animal Assisted Therapy
(AAT) program. Every Tuesday we visit four units of adults and adolescents in a nearby
psychiatric hospital. Most people love to see Maya. I’m known simply as “the dog lady” and
am clear about my relevance.
As Maya leads me to the first unit I again feel ambivalent. I notice a group of teenagers draped in various positions around the
lounge—and then the room erupts: “Oh, it’s a dog! I miss my dog. This is the highlight of my week,” a girl says hugging Maya.
Concerns I had about doing any good vanish.
Because Maya was an abused rescue dog, I wasn’t sure if she could pass the AAT test. But Charlie, our first therapy dog, was so loved
by every person we saw at hospitals and libraries that I wanted Maya to continue in his footsteps.
The AAT test lasts a couple of hours, is given in a group (dog) setting­—and they give you the test beforehand so you can practice
with your dog. And even if you fail like Maya and I did, you can take the test again. Once we passed, I was able to choose from a list
of places to volunteer. A psychiatric hospital can be difficult, but when I see the calming effect Maya has on a troubled teenager or
an anxious adult, it makes this volunteer experience one of the most rewarding I’ve ever had.
Freud was one of the first to notice the positive effects his dogs had on patients. For years he included his chow-chows in all of his
therapy sessions. Since Freud’s time, Alzheimer’s patients, people with autism, catatonia, nursing home residents, children with
reading difficulty—the list is endless—have benefited from the touch or presence of an animal. After the 1999 Columbine shootings,
therapy dogs were brought in to be with traumatized students and teachers.
To learn more about the AAT program, call 303-442-4030, ext. 654 or e-mail sarah.horn@boulderhumane.org.
Volunteering in this program can be life-changing.
