rogress in the animal welfare world can come
quickly, in Great Dane-sized leaps! When we
can run at HAWS, we do: we’re looking to soon
“plant” shovels in the ground and see the walls of
our facility expansion “sprout”! We’re embracing
the chaos of construction, because the growth
of HAWS means we are ever closer to building a
No-Kill Community – and an entire society that
is humane. We are grateful that our community
stepped up to help us raise the needed building
funds in a relatively short timeframe.
But, life in animal welfare can also move at the
pace of a cat napping in the sun. This isn’t always
a bad thing – extra time at HAWS can mean more
training for an adoptable dog or TLC for a cat
with an injured paw. And, it is enjoyable for us
humans, too, because of those daily interactions
with the animals entrusted to our care. Being
around animals means you can soak up the love
and joie de vivre they possess. Live for today, revel
in the moment, stop and smell the roses (once
they’re not covered by snow and are actually in
bloom, that is)!
At whatever speed, HAWS will continue moving
forward, taking those next steps for the animals.
We invite our entire community to get in step with
us – in this Tattle Tails we present ideas for everyone to do just that! Programs need your support,
animals need us to advocate for them, children
need our guidance and events need attending!
All ages can take action for the animals and help
continue the progress we’ve made at HAWS. A
Come walk – and chase and shop and play!
Romp ‘n Rally is a day for
the entire family, 2- and
4-legged members alike!

A
s we close out our facility
expansion campaign, the
natural question is “What are
the next steps for HAWS?” The
bricks and mortar expansion will
consume quite a bit of time, but
meanwhile we remain focused
on the needs of our community’s
animals. HAWS is much more than
a building. We are committed to caring for animals by
helping people care for animals; through collaborative
efforts we will save as many animals as possible.
Education is, and always will be, a huge part of what
we do. Education and commitment are the foundation for an entire culture of animal welfare advocates.
Many of our original Kids ‘N Critters campers have
graduated from college and are now taking the message of compassion forward into their homes, jobs
and families. This is an exciting time for education as
we see the fruits of our efforts.
Assistance offered through our Behavior Department,
SNIP clinic and Animal Rescue Team will be enhanced.

Some of the most exciting additions will take place
in Adoption Services. More proactive programs for
our “cat” people are being explored, including hospice foster caregivers, taming “tigers” (cats that are
marginally feral) and barn cat placement for healthy,
altered outdoor cats. We already have additional
staff for dog behavior consults – a dedicated place
for consults is coming!
We are more than a building…although the building
helps! Thank you to all who have so generously
given. HAWS’ future is bright! C

Additional training classes for cats and volunteer
opportunities will be available in our Behavior
Department. Our SNIP clinic will be able to assist
more rescue groups and provide additional TNR
(Trap-Neuter-Return) services to further reduce
cat overpopulation. The addition of GIS mapping
software – and combined efforts of our Animal
Rescue Team and SNIP clinic – will allow us to target
specific cat breeding areas and concentrate our
resources. This type of targeting also opens us
up for competitive grant opportunities.
Let your fingers do all the hard work and collect donations from your couch –

EDUCATION DEPARTMENT HIGHLIGHTS
Youth Community Kindness Award
By Megan Katzuba, Education Assistant
H
AWS is seeking nominations for the 6th
Annual Diana Boettcher
Youth Community
Kindness Award. This
award is presented in memory of Diana Boettcher, a
longtime resident of Lac La
Belle who cared equally for
the animals and people in
her neighborhood throughout her life.
2014 winner,
Sophie G.
The Diana Boettcher Award seeks to honor a youth
who exemplifies kindness to animals in the community
through volunteering, promoting awareness and/or
other acts of humane animal treatment. The honoree
will be selected by a panel of HAWS’ employees and
friends. Selection is based on the nominee’s commitment to animal welfare through public service and
community life.
Nominees must be 18 years or younger. Family,
friends, community members and teachers are allowed
to nominate deserving youth; in addition, students
may also nominate themselves. If chosen, the recipient
must be available to accept the award at the Friends of
HAWS’ 33rd Annual Romp ‘n Rally Pet Walk on May
7, 2016 at Sussex Village Park.
Applications must include the nominee’s name,
address, birth date, school and an essay (not to exceed
500 words) explaining the youth’s commitment to
animals in their community. Applications must
be received at HAWS by April 15th and can
be emailed to Megan at education@hawspets.org
or sent to HAWS/Award, Attn: Megan, PO Box 834,
Waukesha, WI, 53187-0834. A
Join us at HAWS for camp this summer!
For ages 7-14; sessions from 1 day to 1 week.
Special theme weeks include:
• Art Camp
• Science with the Animals
• Camp Gone to the Dogs
• Shutterbug Camp
• Horseback Riding Fieldtrip Camp
Log on to hawspets.org or call 262-542-8851, x123 for details
and registration!
What is “Science With The Animals” Camp?
Campers will discover facts about some of the latest animal
research, such as how Chaser the border collie learned the
names of over 1,000 of her toys, and studies showing that
dogs respond better to a human pointing at a container
holding food than does a chimpanzee.
Additionally the campers will do some of their own research!
How long does it take for a rodent to run through a maze
for cheese versus a sunflower seed? Does a dog respond to
a hand signal or a word better when asked to sit or lie down?
What species is more likely to feel comfortable in a new
environment – cats or dogs? Join us!

RESCUE TAILS...
HAWS’ Animal Rescue Team
assisted an interesting mix of animals yet again! Calls for assistance
included a stunned deer, a snake…
and a Polish Rooster! This fancy
gent was found wandering in
Menomonee Falls; our staff found
it to be very tame, even willing to
sit on a lap during check-in!
HAWS – At the READY!
HAWS provides resources for capture and removal of domestic and wild animals in Waukesha County:
• Call HAWS for assistance with skunks, bats and raccoons
due to dangers from a bite. HAWS also handles injured
deer along with the DNR and local law enforcement.
• HAWS is able to capture stray animals at large or in
dangerous situations.
• HAWS has “how to” info for wildlife posing a nuisance
in your yard.
HAWS’ Rescue Team includes state and federally licensed
wildlife rehabilitators and personnel permitted in endangered species care. They are trained in the use of chemical
immobilization for all animal species. HAWS also maintains
equipment suitable for capture of many different types of
animals, and training to assist large domestic animals and
wildlife confronted with an emergency. HAWS even has an
inflatable boat for water rescues! We are ready to respond
24/7/365 to provide care and assistance!

What did you want to be

Abraham and Boxer and many
puppies!

Why do you work for

I work at HAWS for the happy endings –
seeing an animal go to its forever home
after all the effort we have put in giving it
the best potential for adoption. Also for
my co-workers – we all lift each other up
when going through tough times. We’re
family, and that’s how we treat every
animal here, too.

REGGIE & STEWIE
So grateful to HAWS’ animal
behavioral consultant Leann
Boucha. She is amazing. We
unexpectedly lost both our
beloved cats, four months
apart. We took our sad hearts
to HAWS, where we fell in love with Reggie (Spud).
But we found that Reggie was too timid for a mate.
Leann gave us some coaching to build his confidence, then she helped us find Stewie (Puff), who
had the perfect temperament for everyone in our
home. Both Reggie and Stewie were fostered by
HAWS’ excellent volunteers, and it shows! Now we
have a perfect match. See their wild kitten antics on

Stewart Little.” — Bonnie & Gary H.

warm weather right around the corner, HAWS is preparing for the
nds of spring: kittens purring, baby birds chirping, summer camp
aughing and…ground breaking! As we prepare for our much
d facility expansion, it is important for our donors, adopters,
d volunteers to know how much of an impact they can continue
n the future of the Behavior Department.
ve closer and closer towards becoming a No-Kill Community, it is
magnificently apparent that our work and humane sentiments are
ed. Owners are seeking help to keep their pets in their homes, which
ss surrendered animals and a deeper understanding of meeting an
pet’s needs. Clients are taking multiple training classes to keep their
ally engaged and learning a variety of cues for appropriate behavior.
and foster caregivers are opening up their homes to special needs
ogs from down south that otherwise wouldn’t have had the oppora good life. And lastly, more people are becoming aware of our abilust help with dog behavior issues, but cat behavior issues as well!
of our Behavior Department will likely involve more networking
w rescues and shelters, and more educational opportunities for the
he form of seminars and interactive training workshops. The relationwe make with our clients are lasting, and we want to empower

will be built during the expansion. And with this new area, we hope
to make an even greater impact on the lives of many more shelter
ere’s to the future – let’s see what we can accomplish!
CAPTAIN JACK
Captain Jack came to HAWS
from the 2015 hoarding
situation. He was terrified
of people and had several
health issues. When he finally came home with us, we
were able to start socializing
him and give him the love
and care he had never had
WS. Almost a year later, he is a happy and
n! He gets out for wall surfing and munchwith our rabbits every night. And, when
g more mellow, he loves to snuggle. Thank
, for taking care of Jack and the other
n their time of great need.
