Strutting Success
Despite chilly spring weather, this year’s Strutters
collectively raised nearly $22,000 for C.A.R.E. coffers.
by Janice Cha
Who would have thought, in these recessionary
times, that we would have had the most successful
Strut for Strays in the past decade? That’s exactly
what happened on a chilly, blustery Saturday in
early May, the day of the 15th annual event.
“We had 229 registrants, which is the highest
registration turnout since 2000, and almost 50
people more than the annual average of about
180 participants over the last decade,” reports
Strut Organizer Megan Lutz. “Altogether we
raised nearly $22,000 in support of C.A.R.E.”
None of this would have happened without
help from many quarters, starting with the Strut’s
event sponsors: Mary Summerville, Prairie
Shore Properties, who donated the tee-shirts;
Chicagoland Tails and Dr. Julia Weertman for
the goodie bags; Evanston Subaru in Skokie for
refreshments; and the Dog Obedience Group for
the Doggie Carnival.
Strut 2010 photos can be found
online at http://ow.ly/1TkGi.
Thanks also goes to C.A.R.E.’s young Shelter
Helpers for raising more than $850. The team of
junior volunteers, led by Vicky Pasenko, included
Kate Ellenwood-Bird, Luca Ferinca, Anna Heinz,
Alyssa Horwitz, Julian Wagner and Kurtis Young.
Top fundraisers received prizes from local
businesses, including Abt Electronics, Charter
One Bank, CJ Arthur’s Bar & Grill, Dengeos,
Jewel-Osco, Walgreens and Dr. Julia Weertman.
And as always, the Strut wouldn’t function
without the willing hands of the many C.A.R.E.
volunteers who spent the morning setting up,
stepping up and cleaning up.

supporters and participants.

Dear C.A.R.E.,
Please accept this donation in honor of our daughter/sister
Katherine Saari. On February 15 of this year we lost our sweet
girl. She was 24 years old.
Katherine was a true animal lover. When Kat left her
Massachusetts home to attend Northwestern University, one
of the things she missed most was her little beagle, Echo.
Kat drew a great deal of enjoyment and comfort from all
animals. On her 20th birthday, her then-boyfriend brought her
to your shelter to choose a pet. Although she grew up with
dogs, she chose a long-haired calico kitty named Lady who had
been abandoned in an area apartment. Kat showered Lady with
attention. If the cat had any inclination toward classic cat
aloofness, she never had a chance. Kat turned Lady into the
most affectionate of felines. She brought the cat outside on a
leash, took her on road trips in the car and even traveled home
with her in the cabin of a Southwest Airlines airplane this
past Christmas.
Katherine stayed in Chicago after graduation. Our first
thoughts upon losing our daughter were that we would bring
Lady back to our home in Massachusetts. Once we arrived at the
home Kat had shared with her close friend, however, we knew we
couldn’t take Lady from him. Lady had transferred the affection
Katherine felt for her to her new owner, and brought him a
great deal of comfort.
April 14 would have been Kat’s 25th birthday. We believe
she would be pleased that we have chosen to recognize this
day by supporting C.A.R.E., the organization responsible for
matching her with Lady. We hope all the pets you place bring
as much joy to their new families as Lady brought to Kat.
With gratitude,
Judy, David, Chrissy & Daniel Saari
Hubbardston, Mass.

Facebook Contest Wins $500 For C.A.R.E.
After Kimberly Skic adopted her dog, Angel, from C.A.R.E.,
she wanted to support the shelter in any way she could. So last
December, when she noticed the $500 shelter donation as prize for
a pet photo contest sponsored by Glenview State Bank on social
networking site Facebook, she jumped.
“I posted a cute photo of Angel,” Kimberly says. “A few days
later, I was overjoyed to be notified that we were in the top five.”
Her next step was to enlist C.A.R.E. Marketing Coordinator
Megan Lutz, who helped put out the online call for votes.
“When the contest ended a week later, Angel had 219 official
votes, winning by 26 votes,” Kimberly says. “It was such a close race
that Glenview State Bank decided to make two $500 donations
to the animal shelters of the winners. All our hard work paid off.
I was very thankful to win the $500 donation for C.A.R.E. It was
a perfect touch to the holiday season.”

Camp Fire Troop Beautifies

C.A.R.E. Will
Take Them Back
Sometimes pet adoption decisions get
compromised by unforeseen events.
It could be that the cat’s or dog’s
temperament has changed, or personal
issues, or a new baby… Whatever the
reason, if you are no longer able to
care for the dog or cat you adopted
from C.A.R.E.—please bring the animal
back to C.A.R.E. We will welcome the
pet back and will continue to care for
it as before. Please call and leave a
message at 847 – 705 – 2653; identify
yourself as a past adopter so we can
help you immediately.

If you’ve visited C.A.R.E. recently
and noticed colorful flowers and a
general spiffiness to the grounds, it’s
all thanks to Volunteer Laura Frisch,
her Co-leader Renate Toth and their
Camp Fire USA troop from Morton
Grove. In May, nine troop members
and several parents organized a
spring clean-up for the C.A.R.E.
garden areas.
“We planted marigolds and
geraniums to add a little color while
the perennials grow in,” Laura says.
“The marigolds are pretty hardy, so
don’t worry if a dog tramples them.”
The younger kids weeded, planted, watered and mulched while the older boys re-set the
paving stones near the back run exit and added more river rocks. “Now the dogs can come
straight out and pee without getting their paws muddy,” Laura says.

The rest has been history. Mario has brought so
much joy to my home, to me and to my dog. I
truly feel that somehow Monty handpicked this
fellow for us.”

When Martha Roland walked into the shelter
at C.A.R.E. in Evanston a year ago July, Champ,
a big, gray cat with golden eyes, immediately
caught her attention. “He seemed to pose
against the bars of his cage, trying desperately
to catch my eye,” says Martha, who didn’t
“click” with the first cat the adoption counselor
showed her. “Then she brought in Champ. He
purred and kneaded the table with his front
paws to show he was comfortable. I knew he
was the cat for me.” These days, Champ is the
proverbial king of his castle. “He follows me
around like a dog and greets me at the door
when I come home,” Martha adds. “He loves
to sit by the balcony door and chatter at birds.
He’s always ready to pounce on his toy rat or
bounce around after the laser beam. Champ
is the greatest pet I could ever hope for. I can’t
imagine life without my pal.”

“My name is Tonka. I’m an English Bulldog
who was adopted about a year ago. I was
found by the Evanston police and brought to
C.A.R.E., where they named me Beyonce. I
was in really bad health when I arrived at the
shelter—way underweight, with a wound on
the top of my head. I’m happy to report that
I’ve made a full recovery. Now I live in a loving
home where I can make my new family laugh
at all of my sounds. I love to snore and snort
as loud as I can. And I adore mini tennis balls,
with squeakers of course. When I’m not bullying
my two bigger sisters (a Mastiff and a Great
Dane), I’m following my mom everywhere to get
all the love I can. Who knew life could be so
good?!” (Tonka’s parents are Corrie Svendsen
and Lyz Glynn.)

In April Mario (C.A.R.E. name Enzio) and his
person, Mary Ann Mayfield, celebrated his
one-year adoption-from-C.A.R.E. anniversary.
Mario’s arrival at Mary Ann’s home followed
the tragic and untimely loss of her cat, Monty,
who had been best buddies with the family
dog, Phoebe. “I knew Phoebe missed Monty’s
company and stimulation, but I didn’t realize
how much she had been grieving until she laid
eyes on Mario for the first time,” Mary Ann says.
“The dog began to practically weep with joy. At
first Mario startled, then he approached the dog
dog…,” then walked through the door holding
a scruffy Border Terrier mix with the eyes of
an angel. When placed on the surgical table,
Kirby pushed himself away from the tech’s
arms, went over to the doctor, put his front legs
around her neck and nuzzled under her chin.
“Who could resist?” says Dr. Klaus, who, despite
having two cats and two dogs already and not
being in the market for a new pet, brought the
dog home the next day. Nine months later, she
reports that Kirby has “become best buddies
with Sydney, the Scottie, and Opal, the Cairn.
His only fault: he doesn’t understand the
concept of ‘cat’ and can’t understand why they
won’t play as the other dogs do. Kirby has
grown in size and confidence. I’m glad I gave
into his decision to adopt me.”
It was another surgery day for Dr. Joan Kraus,
a veterinarian at McCormick Animal Hospital
in Evanston. Kirby was a stray from C.A.R.E.,
there to be neutered. The vet-tech working
with Dr. Kraus said, “Wait until you see this
Duncan, an energetic young chocolate brown
pit bull mix formerly known as King, found a
home in May with C.A.R.E. kennel volunteers
Diva and Michael Mihelic. After spending nearly
11 months at the shelter Duncan is very excited
to finally be out in the world. His new home
includes a Chihuahua, a cat and another pit
bull. In addition to ongoing obedience training,
Duncan has been learning new skills such
as swimming. “Initially Duncan was afraid of
water when we took him to the dog beach,”
Michael says. “Seeing other dogs playing in
the water made him forget his fear and join in
the chase games. Duncan is also learning to
fetch his water toys and to swim better.” These
days Duncan is a calmer, happier dog. “He’s
so good-natured we can take him practically
anywhere,” Michael adds. “We’re looking
forward to having a fun summer together,
and beyond.”
