Tracey Miller
Director of Operations
My job is to manage the day-to-day
operations at the shelter. That includes
managing employees, volunteers, and the
foster home program. I manage the supplies
and the medical care of the animals, input all
of the paperwork for the intake of animals all
the way through their adoptions, post pictures
of the animals online, and I am the point of
contact for all questions and concerns related
to the animals and the shelter.
I started with the MCSPCA as a volunteer in
July 2009. I began as a “foster” for kittens, then
volunteered at the shelter, doing cleaning and
photographing animals for our online resources. Eventually I moved into administration, first
as a volunteer, then as a paid weekend employee in the fall of 2012. In December 2013,
I became full-time director of operations.
What does a typical day for me look like? I
intake animals, help with the medical care,
I remember when Rascal, the dog I adopted,
was brought in the door of the MCSCPA back
in June 2012. He clearly had been neglected
for a long period of time. He was a matted
mess, had urine scalds all over his stomach
from being locked in a crate for days without
being fed, his nails were overgrown, and his
dewclaw was 3 inches long.
We took him to the vet and had him groomed.
He quickly became attached to me and I took
him home to foster for a few days. But I knew
after 48 hours he would become a permanent
part of my family. We developed a bond I could
never begin to explain.
Sadly, I lost Rascal on May 25th of this year.
He took a huge piece of my heart with him,
and it still angers me how horribly he was
treated. But the last two years I spent with him
I wouldn’t trade for the world. I will be forever
grateful to the SPCA for bringing us together. I want to thank everyone for their continued
support of the Medina County SPCA—and
I would love to see more of you around the
shelter. We can’t do this alone, we need you.
Dizzy
I’m a chatty, super friendly, outgoing girl and I totally love other cats!
I try to make friends with everyone I meet! So if you’ve got a lonely cat at home
who could use a friend, or if you just need a friend yourself,
please come by and ask for Dizzy — that’s me!
PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE
Tracey Miller is now in charge of day-to-day
operation of the shelter. Once again, please
consider volunteering a few hours to help out
with the everyday workload.
A Message from
the President of the
Board of Directors
George “Hub” Marquis
President of the Board
I believe that recent developments at the
Medina County SPCA need to be clarified.
But first, let me make this clear: the shelter
is open and operating and will continue in its
mission to provide for the neglected animals of
Medina County for the foreseeable future. As
always, we are soliciting members, volunteers,
and donations. If you aren’t involved already,
please consider becoming a part of the
MCSPCA family.
So what is going on at the MCSPCA?
I’ll address several points.
The most demonstrable evidence of turmoil
at the shelter came on June 10, when it was
announced that Stephanie Moore was leaving
her job as executive director. While this is a
major development for the organization, please
don’t over-estimate its importance. Differences
over Stephanie’s responsibilities evolved to
the point where it was better for both of us if a
change was made. Stephanie did great work
for the MCSPCA in her four years of service
and we wish her the best of luck going forward.
As for the most immediate problem, it’s simple:
money. The MCSPCA is a non-profit organization but even a non-profit can’t lose money
year after year and expect to stay in operation.
As you will see in our year-end financial statement (page 5), while revenue in the form of
donations and programs was up 35% over last
year, expenses in terms of support services
were up 43%. That contributed to a net loss for
the year of more than $7,000—the third year
in a row the MCSPCA has operated at a loss.
Even for a non-profit that is an unsustainable
business model.
What do we plan to do in the short term?
Hunker down, cut costs, stabilize the financial
environment. Also, we will be looking for someone to spearhead our much more ambitious
fund-raising efforts going forward.
In the long term things look much brighter
for the MCSPCA. Myself and other board
members are developing a strategic plan that
will provide the shelter with a strong foundation
and a successful operating model so it can
continue its crucial mission unimpaired.
One important area of development involves
cooperation with Medina County. Building on
the deal we struck last year with the county
over caring for cats, we have several interesting opportunities, including a land deal that will
aid the development of a new facility, the plans
for which are proceeding steadily.
So, while there is concern and stress at the
MCSPCA, there is no reason for deep worry.
We will get these immediate problems resolved, and the organization will be better for it.
MCSPCANEWS
STEPHANIE MOORE, FORMER EXECUTIVE
director of the Medina County SPCA, has left the
organization. Tracey Miller continues in her role as
Director of Operations and Mary Jo Johnson remains
Humane Officer.
AT THE MCSPCA’S ANNUAL MEETING
on May 21, new members of the board of
directors were elected, and new positions on
the board assigned.
Newly elected to the board are Erica Moehring and
Will Klingel. New positions include long-time board
member George Marquis assuming the role of
president, and Ms. Moehring taking his place as vice
president. Outgoing president Steve Vojvodich will
remain on as a board member.
After the election and the new appointments,
president Marquis talked about the shelter’s soon-tobe-unveiled “strategic plan,” in development with aid
from an outside facilitator. The goal is to make the
organization “financially sound” to help realize the
dream of a new facility. This year, 2014-2015, “will be
our year,” he said.
ROOT CANDLES DONATED TO THE MCSPCA

consultant Renee Kofsky; a ticket cost $5.00.

ANIMAL AFFAIR
A Fundraising
Success Story
The Diamond Party Center in Brunswick, Ohio, was the
scene of the Medina County SPCA’s 11th Annual “Animal Affair”
Dinner Auction fundraising event on May 10. By all accounts
the event was a significant success in raising much-needed
funds, and in providing participants with much appreciated fun.
Medina County Auditor Mike Kovack served as master of
ceremonies for the evening. Dick Goddard, a familiar face to
northeast Ohio residents, was honorary chairperson. Executive
Director Stephanie Moore spoke about the MCSPCA’s vital
mission and critical contribution to the community. She also
bestowed the award for MCSPCA’s Volunteer of the Year.
In all, 267 participants attended the event, out of about 280
tickets sold.
The annual Animal Affair dinner auction is the shelter’s single
highest revenue-generating event. This year, the event grossed
approximately $37,000. With expenses at about $7,500, the
organization netted a little over $29,000 for the evening.
Many individuals and organizations were generous in
providing items and services to be auctioned off. Everything
from hand-made bedclothes to pet baskets, candy to car
detailing, golf outings to baseball tickets, were available to the
highest bidder.
There were actually three types of auctions going on during
the evening: a silent auction, where participants bid on goods
and services on paper; a Chinese auction, which is basically
a series of raffles, and a traditional hand-raising, bid-shouting
auction. Mark Walton, of First Quality Auction & Realty, was
the auctioneer for the evening, his second year providing
such service. Audience participation was “very active,”
Walton commented.

FINANCIAL REPORT
Ending MARCH 31, 2014
Income $500,202
Expenses $507,301
= ($7,099)
The Medina County SPCA fiscal year ended March 31, 2014.
Although it was a financially challenging year for the shelter, there
were many successes that position it to be financially successful in
the upcoming year.
spay/neuter expenses, vaccines, and veterinarian expenses. The staff did
a great job managing these expenses despite the financial strain related
to the care of the hundreds of animals they supported. The operating
expenses were up seven percent over the prior year, totaling $162,800.
The Medina County SPCA is funded through fundraisers, local
governments, public donations, and other programs. Income
from these sources was up 35% over the prior fiscal year, totaling
$500,202. The first annual 5k walk/run “Paws for the Cause” was one
event of many that contributed to the increase over the prior year.
Supporting services for the shelter include items such as auto
expenses, depreciation, fundraising expenses, insurance, payroll taxes,
rent, salaries, utilities, etc. These expenses were up 43% over the prior
year, totaling $344,501. Changes have been implemented to reduce
these costs in the upcoming year.
The operating expenses of the shelter include items such as
emergency care, food, litter, medical supplies, medications,
This resulted in a final net loss for the fiscal year ended
3/31/2014 of $7,099.
HONORARYCHAIR
Mr. DickGoddard
Honorary Chairperson
Auctions Parade Spot
Dick Goddard, celebrity meteorologist, Medina resident, and longtime animal-rights advocate, was
the honorary chairperson of the
MCSPCA’s Animal Affair auction
dinner event on May 10.
Goddard spoke about the
importance of a bill now in the Ohio Senate that would make
certain acts of animal cruelty a felony in the state. He urged the
audience to contact their local politicians in support of the bill,
known as “Goddard’s Law.”
Goddard also auctioned off a seat on a float in this year’s
Woollybear Festival parade, which will take place on September
28 in downtown Vermillion. The bidding for the prestigious spot
was lively, the wining bid coming in at $400.
Goddard also entertained the audience with a bit of celebrity
gossip. The ears of fellow news personality Robin Swoboda
must have been burning as Goddard joked about her culinary
prowess—or lack thereof.
SpecialVOLUNTEER
Ms.BarbaraHavlin
MCSPCA Volunteer of the Year
Barbara Havlin was honored with the MCSPCA’s “Volunteer
of the Year” award at the Animal Affair Dinner Auction— and
deservedly so, according friends and fellow volunteers. A
plaque, unveiled at the dinner, will hang in the shelter to honor
the annual awardees and Ms. Havlin’s is the first name to be
engraved on it.
Barbara has been an active member of the MCSPCA for
more than six years. Two and a half years ago she was
pressed into service to help accommodate a demanding intake
of needy animals at the shelter
and has worked there regularly
ever since.
These days Barbara handles
incoming calls two days a week.
“I talk to the parrot and do what
I can,” she says modestly.
Congratulations, Barbara, and
thanks for your service. We
appreciate everything that you
do for the MCSPCA animals!

Blake is what we call a survivor. He’s a great cat and would

Concern for the rights of animals has a long history. In the mid-1880s, wealthy American
writer, philosopher and world traveler Henry Bergh, while visiting England, was introduced
to an organization that had been founded in 1824 as the Society for the Prevention of
Cruelty to Animals.
This society was the first animal welfare charity in the world, and it soon began to bring
offenders before the courts for mistreatment of “these mute servants of mankind.” Queen
Victoria granted the organization royal status in 1840.
Henry Bergh brought this concept back home to New York, and in 1886 made an impassioned
plea to the state legislature to adopt a similar set of guidelines and principles. He convinced
many notable citizens to approve and sign his “Declaration of
the Rights of Animals,” and on April 10, 1886, the American
Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals was born.
Since then hundreds of independent charitable humane
societies (such as our own Medina County SPCA) have been
established throughout the country as more and more people
become concerned with animal welfare. While not connected in
any way (except by name) to the ASPCA, we owe a great debt
to its compassionate and forward-thinking founder, who bravely
stepped up and spoke out for the animals.
—Carol Klingel
Since 1985, the Medina County Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, a non-profit volunteer-based organization, has helped abused,
neglected and injured animals in our community. Thousands of dogs, cats, horses and other companion animals have been saved through
the efforts and generosity of our caring members and donors, to whom we are deeply grateful. To all of these donors we would like to express
our deepest gratitude.

it devours the food in front of it. But that only
causes serious consequences, called
re-feeding syndrome.
Care For A Starved Animal
Mary Beth Mahoney, RVT
At the MCSPCA shelter, animals arrive in various debilitated, and disheartening, conditions.
Here, new Vet Tech Mary Beth Mahoney details what it’s like to care for a starving animal.
An animal that has been starved or
neglected needs a careful and strict re-feeding
schedule to bring it back up to its ideal body
weight. Conventional wisdom might suggest
giving the animal as much food as it wants as
When an animal is starved, carbohydrates,
fats, and protein stores are depleted, as are
electrolytes such as magnesium, potassium,
and phosphorus. If food is then re-introduced
into the body too quickly it causes electrolyte
imbalances, fluid overload, and compromised
cardiac and liver functions. Signs of re-feeding
syndrome include muscle weakness, seizures,
neurologic abnormalities and cardiac abnormalities such as irregular heart rate. Due to the
low magnesium levels irritability or aggression
also may be seen.
It’s best to start the animal on small amounts of
food, four to six times a day. A high-quality food
that’s high in fat but low in carbohydrates is
best. The number of feedings can be dropped
to three per day after ten to fifteen days without
complications. After the animal reaches an
ideal body weight its feeding schedule can be

dropped down to the normal two a day. The
animal’s weight should be charted every other

track to its ideal body weight.
