HOW MUCH IS THAT DOGGIE IN THE WINDOW? WHY SHELTER ANIMALS ARE NOT FREE
By Andrea Von Hoff, CCHS Board Member
Watchdog readers know that the animals adopted from CCHS are
priceless. But some people assume that because their pet is coming
from a shelter, the adoption should be free. A look at what goes on
from intake to adoption shows that the CCHS adoption fees, which
are always under $300, are quite a steal!
A good example is Winnie. Winnie is a 9 year-old black lab who
was found as a stray. Winnie has
fleas, so those are treated right
away. Based on Wisconsin law,
Winnie must be held at CCHS for 7
days (called a “stray hold”) before
she can undergo any temperament
testing or obtain any vet care. While
Winnie is residing in her own kennel for these first 7 days, CCHS
staff ensures her kennel is cleaned
each day, and she gets the right
amount of food and water. CCHS
has six employees, who are very
skilled in animal care. Our staff is
Please Adopt Celeste!
present each day, working hard for
all the animals in shelter. Our staff,
who takes care of Winnie and the 1,000+ other animals each year,
can’t work for free!
Once Winnie’s 7-day hold has expired, she undergoes her
“temperament test.” This is a test done on all puppies and dogs
before they become available for adoption. The purpose of this test
is to ensure the dog is not aggressive, or has any other issues that
would make the dog unsafe as a pet. CCHS is not only responsible
for the health and welfare of the animals in our care, but also has a
responsibility to not adopt out any dogs who fail the temperament
test.
Winnie passes the temperament test – she is not food-aggressive,
or aggressive towards people or other dogs. However, time alone
as a stray has made her shy and a little nervous around people.
CCHS staff will work with Winnie to help her come out of her
shell. She will be socialized and exposed to other animals and people to help her become a well-adjusted dog.
michelebaillies@gmail.com
Next, it is time to get her some vet care. She was never spayed, so
that will be taken care of first. No animal leaves CCHS without
being spayed or neutered. Many of the animals who come to CCHS
are not “fixed,” so it is our job to make sure that is done by one of
the area veterinarians CCHS works with. Winnie had a little scrape
on her paw, so that will be stitched right up. The time on the road
has made Winnie a little shaggy. She will get a bath and grooming.
As a black lab, Winnie is a common dog in shelter. Because she is
not a young pup, she is overlooked for a while. While Winnie stays
in shelter for a couple months, CCHS staff continues to walk her
each day, clean her kennel each day, feed and give her water each
day, and give her that extra special attention to help her shyness.
Eventually, the Smith family came to CCHS. They have been looking for a dog just like Winnie! An adoption counselor at CCHS will
talk to the Smiths, introduce the Smiths to Winnie, and ask the right
questions to ensure that the Smiths are a good fit for Winnie, and
Winnie is a good fit for the Smiths.
As often happens at CCHS, it is love at first sight for both Winnie
and the Smiths! Because she is a senior dog, Winnie’s adoption fee
is $112.50. For this price, the Smiths have found their forever pet
who has had spay surgery; has been microchipped; has been vaccinated; has been treated for any fleas, ticks, and heartworm; has been
groomed; and is an outgoing pet, thanks to the socialization efforts
of the CCHS staff. Now THAT is a bargain!

WHY DO I FOSTER?
By Sarah Krueger - CCHS Board Member
I am often asked why I choose to foster homeless animals. It is a
good question and one I will answer—later.
So who benefits from you fostering a shelter animal? If you were to
ask any shelter or rescue what their most valuable asset is, no doubt
it would be their fosters. Many groups rescue from high-kill shelters,
but also find themselves often overwhelmed with strays, surrenders,
and abused and/or neglected animals. It is stressful to the staff of
shelters when they struggle to fulfill their mission to help animals
when there is nowhere for the animals to go. It’s very difficult for
these amazing people to know that a lot of animals may die simply
because they lacked the space to save them. When you foster a
homeless dog or cat, you are
saving the lives of two animals—the one you care for
and the one who fills the
newly opened space in the
shelter.
Fostering bridges the gap
between total abandonment
and a permanent home. Just
think of a shelter animal’s
day: they can be in their cage
(without human contact) for
more than 10-12 hours, sometimes longer. If you multiply that by
how many days they can be at the shelter, then the risk with a longterm dog or cat is that they lose touch and exposure to a loving
home, interacting with people and even with other pets. Fostering
gives the abandoned and/or mistreated animal a second chance to
recover from an illness or injury, remember or learn what it is like to
be in a loving home, and brush up on training or socialization so they
can be adopted. The most amazing thing is that rescued animals
respond to our care with lots of love—they cannot talk, but certainly
they show how much they appreciate all your efforts. Fostering a dog
or cat may seem like a formidable and insignificant task, but it is a
very tangible way to make a real difference.
Issue 1; Vol. 2014
Phoenix is one of my most special fosters. Phoenix came in as a
stray from someone who picked him up and was very concerned
about this beautiful orange tabby. Along with his debilitating fear
issues, his face had been disfigured by something or someone. I
was asked to foster him as he had completely shut down at the
shelter and withdrew from any and all human interaction. When I
arrived at the shelter, another volunteer hugged me and then
helped me remove him from his cage. He was so petrified he urinated on her, on his blanket, on me, and in his carrier. I knew he
was a sweet, loving cat under all that fear. He just needed some
time to trust me. Along with his meds from a URI, I also discovered after a few days being with me that he had tapeworms—a lot
of tapeworms! So after the correct dewormer, a lot of cleaning,
good food, and TLC, he decided I was his friend. That was a great
day! He continued to allow more people into his circle until he
was one of the most outgoing cats I have ever known! To know
that my Phoenix had a horrific past and that I was able to help him
become a friendly, playful cat is one of my most cherished experiences. He now is living and loved by a wonderful family and
never has to worry about being homeless again.
So why do I foster?
Because I can.
Because it is right.
Because I believe in second chances.
Because it makes me happy.
Because it very often saves a life.
Because it is, at the end of the day, a gift to myself and a gift to
another.
Mouse was a sweet little calico kitten who was put into a garbage
bag with her siblings and thrown in a dumpster behind a hotel. I was
asked to foster her as she needed a little extra attention. She quickly
melted into our family and daily life and got along with all my animals—whether they liked it or not. She was a lot of fun to have
around and we found she was more entertaining than watching T.V.
It was not long before someone filled out an application on her. She
went to a wonderful retired couple and has become the center of their
world. I will sometimes hear stories from them about how Mouse
loves hunting spiders.

CAT ADOPTIONS REDUCED!
By Susan Bratcher, CCHS Executive Director
CCHS is striving to be proactive in its attempt to place homeless
cats in forever homes. We constantly find ourselves full to the
maximum with cats. So the Executive Director Susan and the
Board of Directors met and talked about solutions to try to fix our
problem with the over abundance of homeless cats in our shelter.
We have found that having the NO FEE Cat Adoptathons has significantly reduced our cat
numbers at CCHS and we
have been able to place our
cats in record time. We realized that we needed a long
term solution to the problem
we face here. CCHS has decided to permanently lower
our Cat Adoptions Fees to the
Please Adopt Sarana
lowest amount possible. We
realize that the fee we are getting will not come close to covering
the expenses of getting the cats ready for adoption but we are hoping our donations and having small fundraisers for that purpose
will offset the amount needed to ready them for adoption.
Here are the new Permanent CCHS Cat Adoption Fees:
Young Adult Cats 6mos to 1 year: $40; Old fee: $50
Cats Over 1 year: $10; Old Fee: $50
Cats 6 years and older: NO FEE; Old Fee $50
Kitten Fees will remain the same as always: $80
Our cats will always be spayed and neutered, vaccinated, microchipped and dewormed before adoption. That will not change even
with the lower fees. We are hoping these new fees will keep a constant flow of adopters coming through our doors and make CCHS
the hotspot for adoption!

NUNS ADOPT A 9-YEAR-OLD PIT BULL BECAUSE
’NOBODY ELSE IS GOING TO WANT HER’
From The Huffington Post - by Megan Griffo
Posted: 01/25/2014 1:47 pm EST Updated: 01/28/2014 12:59 pm EST
On Sunday, three nuns from Nyack, N.Y., walked into Hi-Tor Animal Care Center with one intention: to adopt a dog that no one else
wanted. When the
women met Remy,
a 9-year-old pit bull
who'd been at the
shelter in Pomona,
N.Y., since October, they knew she
was the animal for
them. “I wanted to
bring a dog home
that might get
euthanized if we didn’t take her” Sister Veronica Mendez told
News 12. "And when I noticed the sign said '9 years,' I said,
'Virginia, we want this one, because nobody else is going to want
her.'"
West Artope, executive director at Hi Tor, told The Huffington Post
that he was surprised that the nuns -- all over 70 years old -- weren't
deterred by the thought of
owning a pit bull. "Most people have a pretty bad understanding of pits," Artope told
HuffPost. "But Remy was sensitive to the sisters, especially
to Sister Virginia, who walks
with a cane. She kept up with
her and was so attentive."
Remy now lives with the nuns at Sisters of Our Lady of Christian
Doctrine. Artope told HuffPost that the sisters didn't have to pay for
the adoption -- Pauline Jarney, a Hi Tor volunteer, and Roberta
Bangs, a Hi Tor board member, were so moved by the nuns' actions
that they covered the bill.
PLEASE REMEMBER TO LICENSE YOUR PETS!
Dog licenses are sold by local municipal
treasurers. Written verification that the dog
being licensed is current with its rabies vaccinations is needed.

INTERVIEW WITH A DOG WALKER
By Andrea Von Hoff, CCHS Board Member
CCHS is always looking for volunteers to walk and run with our
dogs. It is a big need for our dogs in shelter! We have solicited the
advice of professional dog-walker, Kim Vogen, who has offered to
give Watchdog readers the scoop on the benefits of dog walking,
as well as the ways to make it most successful for human and canine.
Q: How long have you been walking dogs as your profession?
A: A little over 3 years.
Q: How did you get into it?
A: I was looking for part-time work while going back to school. I
saw a posting on a job board and thought dog walking would be a
perfect, fairly stress-free job for a dog lover! I started walking
dogs for a small company (I was the second employee hired) in
September 2010. The owner of the company moved a year later,
and I kept my clients. Dog walking has quickly become the best
job I’ve ever had! I stopped walking temporarily when I began
nursing school, but quickly realized something was missing from
my life. I rearranged my schedule and switched to night classes so
I could continue walking dogs during the day. I also volunteer at
the Dane County Humane Society.
Q: How does dog walking benefit people?
A: Dog owners don’t have to feel guilty about their busy work
schedules when they have someone to give their pet a walk during
the day. Knowing they have someone to spend time with their dog
during the day puts the owner at ease, and they come home to a
happy dog. Staff at a shelter benefit from volunteers walking dogs,
because it frees up staff time to do other necessary tasks. It is also
great exercise.
Issue 1; Vol. 2014
tion is huge. About half of the dogs I walk are now “friends” and
play together. I am sure to get to know each of their personalities
and needs first, since some dogs are happier getting one-on-one
time. Most of the dogs I walk now “auto sit” (sitting on their own
without being told when approached) which is pretty exciting.
Q: What is your favorite thing about walking dogs?
A: They always put a smile on my face. Dogs have very different
personalities and I have so much fun with each and every one of
them. I love having the time to take them on special outings - hiking through the woods, swimming in the lake in the summer, etc.
Dog walking had allowed me to really explore my surroundings
with some awesome company!
Q: What can CCHS volunteers do to make the walking experience
positive for both the walker and dog?
A: Keep in mind how stressed out some
dogs at the shelter are, and how scary and
unknown it must be. A lot of them have
been in loving homes and they just want
to be near you. Dogs really benefit from
you spending time with them, and it
helps them to trust humans. Always remember that every dog has a different
personality.
Please Adopt Sport!
Q: What are the “must-dos” for a successful dog walk?
A: Make it fun for them! Try to have them sit at least before you
put the leash on. An auto sitter at a shelter catches potential adopters’ eyes!
Kim Vogen is a dog walker in Madison, Wisconsin. Thanks for the
tips, Kim!
Q: What are the biggest benefits you see for dogs who get walks
regularly?
A: An exercised dog is a happy dog! Dogs are mentally stimulated
during their walk by all the smells, sights, and sounds. Socialization is huge. About half of the dogs I walk are now “friends” and
play together. I am sure to get to know each of their personalities
and needs first, since some dogs are happier getting one-on-one
time. Most of the dogs I walk now “auto sit” (sitting on their own
