Its hard to believe but in the first 8 months of 2015, we had 11 animals that required amputation
surgeries for broken limbs, 41 other major surgeries, 94 sick or injured kittens /cats and 32 injured
dogs. Another 60 animals came from cruelty investigations.
Because of the nature of our work, there is no average day or month. Sometimes we take in
animals with minor injuries or illness and other times we are overwhelmed by severe injuries and
illness. There is no pattern or way of predicting what might happen. This year has been one of the
latter times. For example, in 2012-2013 we had a total of 11 amputations needed. Compare that to
the first 8 months of 2015 and you can see the difference.
Here (pictured below) are a few of the faces Portage APL has helped this year. We have done so
with your help and caring. Left to right, Rebecca, Spruce, Eddie, and Jeffrey. Rebecca was badly
cut and wounded on the side of the road. Her bites and cuts were deep and required staples and
many weeks of recovery. She has since been adopted. Spruce came to us as an emergency due to
a broken leg. His leg could not be fixed and was amputated. He has also been adopted.
Eddie, just a puppy ,came to us when a good Samaritan found him wandering. His poor head and
body were covered in mange. Mange can take months to treat as it requires medicated baths. He is
in foster care and will be for some time. Once he is healthy, he will be placed up for adoption.
Jeffrey was yet another cat emergency rescue. Unfortunately, stray and outside cats have many
chances to be hurt. Whether it be a car, another animal, poison or otherwise, they are vulnerable to
injury outside. Jeffrey also had a badly broken leg and has healed wonderfully from his amputation.
He has also found a wonderful home.

Mission:
Portage Animal Protective League is a private, non-profit organization, dedicated to the
advancement of animal welfare and responsible pet ownership. In support of the mission: we
shelter and find safe homes for injured, abused, surrendered and abandoned animals, uphold and
enforce all animal cruelty laws, reduce pet overpopulation through spay/neuter programs and
educate the community on the social responsibility associated with pet ownership.
Vision:
We envision an educated and caring community that recognizes and respects the rights of animals
to receive humane and compassionate treatment and actively supports efforts to ensure their
welfare.
Spay and Neuter Services
Low cost spay and neuter services are a very
important part of helping stop pet overpopulation
and unwanted animals entering shelters or
being euthanized. At Portage APL, we work
hard to do our part. Although we don’t have our
own clinic, we do host mobile clinics that come
to our location and offer these services. We use
N.O.M.A.D. and PetFix of Northeast Ohio.
Both offer a variety of low cost options for cats.
And, of course, every animal adopted from the
APL is spayed or neutered. Please call us to
schedule an appointment. We offer one or two
clinics each moth. We also sell Friends of
Animals certificates that can be used at many
local veterinarians.
Portage APL’s Wish List
Through the generosity of the community, Portage APL is able to keep our animals flourishing.
During their stay, the following items are frequently needed to care for the cats and dogs:

Still Waiting...to Be Adopted
Did You Know…
Rainbow is just a doll. We transferred her from another shelter in July.
Thankfully that shelter rescued her. She was covered in fleas, was
missing a significant amount of hair and was malnourished. When she
arrived here, she had begun to recover. All the while she has been a
friendly, sweet and energetic dog. She has been available for some
time and has yet to find a match. She is medium sized, spayed, up to
date on vaccines and about 2 years old. She would make a wonderful
addition to any family. She loves to play and really wants to be near
people.
Bianca has been waiting to find a home since March. She and some
other cats were surrendered to the APL because their owner had too
many cats to care for. She is about 3 1/2 years old and a sweetheart.
She has the cutest meow and loves to tell you when she wants
attention. She just talks to everyone who comes in hoping they will
notice her. It’s adorable. We are not sure how she continues to be
passed over and we hope someone will recognize her fantastic
personality and adopt her. She is spayed, up to date on vaccines and
microchipped.
With every adoption, you
receive a free wellness
exam from one of these
local veterinarians?

Cage Sponsorships
Sponsoring an animal’s cage is yet another way your donation can be used. Being a cage or run sponsor is a great
way to visibly support the animals at Portage APL until they find their next loving home. A special cat cage or dog
run “sponsor identity tag “ is placed on a cage or a run with your name, your family name, your pet’s name or the
name of a business or organization. Your sponsorship will help defray costs to provide food, care and comfort for
up to one year. See photo example to the left. Form enclosed.

Leadership Circle
In 2010, Portage Animal Protective League established Leadership Circle. Membership is granted to donors who provide financial
support to Portage APL by contributing $1,000 or more annually.
Contributions from Leadership Circle members help nearly a thousand animals who come to the shelter each year because they
have been injured, abused, surrendered, or abandoned. These animals receive food, shelter, and medical care for as long as needed
until each adoptable animal finds a “forever home.” Leadership Circle funds also support humane investigations. Reports of
abandonment, cruelty, and neglect reach into the thousands. Contributions are also used to educate the public about the
responsibilities of pet ownership and to offer low-cost spay and neuter clinics that help reduce pet overpopulation.
Why Leadership Circle is Important
As a private, 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, we rely on the generosity of the community to make our
important work possible.
It costs more than $1,500 per day to operate our facility and care for almost a thousand animals we rescue
each year.
Each animal adopted is current on vaccines, checked for disease, spayed or neutered,
and free of fleas and worms. Portage APL is proud to do so much for so many
Humane law enforcement is a daily necessity. Thousands of calls have been answered and so many animals
saved. It is our mission to uphold humane laws and help the victims start over.

Paws for Golf, A Great Day for APL Animals
Rainbow the dog was our greeter at our annual Paws for Golf event on July 25, 2015, at Raccoon Hill Golf Club in Kent. She sniffed
and wagged at each person as they registered hoping for a pet or maybe a hot dog. The weather was sunny, warm, a little breezy and
a perfect day for golf. Volunteers (pictured below) came out to spend the day helping register golfers, sell raffle tickets, and more. We
couldn’t do it without them! Thanks to our top sponsors: Portage Community Bank; Leacoma Family & Majestic Trailer; Thurl & Karen
Carmany; Memorial Animal Hospital; Advanced Display System; Tari Wilson; Mark & Sally Yankovich/ David & Kay Hansford; Escott
& Co., LLC.; Bill White’s Akron and Twin Star Lanes. Thank you to everyone who golfed, donated, volunteered and especially the
committee for working hard to make this event a success: Karen Carmany (Chair), Jill Conard, John Perry, Mark Yankovich, Nick
Leacoma.

I Found a FUR-EVER Home!
Hello Everyone !!!
Darcy and I wanted to update you all on what’s happening. Well first, I don't know Darcy’s history but we have been trying to figure
this girl out. Darcy has had professional training. Those of us that do training know different characteristics of different trainers.
She has tested out completely of all stages and is now a Certified Service Dog. We are finding out more things that she knows how to
do everyday. Today, she went to the groomers, she did not move one time, presented herself for each thing the groomer wanted. So
as you can see, she has moved up the class status. Their had been no dog of record that I know of, with any group, that has tested
out in one week. Dogs that have been going thru six months of training cannot keep up.
She is completed her Certification and is now working on Advance Level, turning lights on/off, making emergency 911 calls, assisting
in retrieving items from shelves and more.
She is loving the attention, doing more things and her favorite, shopping. WalMart is her favorite place to go, besides Chinese, though
she likes the bar, Streets here in Streetsboro. I think it’s because they give her so much attention. That's the only place I allow her to
break form and let her get pet and attention. Everywhere else she just does what she suppose to. She loves when people point at her
in the stores and come ask questions. She knows when people are talking about her and loves it. I'm adding some pictures, you may
use them as you wish and her story if you wish.
Darcy is attending my speaking engagements for PTSD. She is now a advocate dog
and we go out to talk about PTSD and getting help and getting donations for the
Service Dog Programs. Everyday 23 soldiers die from suicide, 22 Veterans, 1 Active
Duty. So if you would like to share her story for publicity or donation drive you may
do so.
Well that's it for now, if you need anything, I mean anything, please feel free to ask.
You guys saved my life. I was very lucky to find Darcy, her previous training saved a
lot of time and worry.
See you all soon !

Another Fantastic APL Car Show
We are so very grateful for all the time, energy, effort, and care it took to
put this event together. Each year Joe and Pam Mazzola put together this
awesome car show! They work hard to get sponsors, food, music and
cars. Hot rods and classic cars, as well as many other types of cars
attend to put on a fantastic show. There is a chance auction, 50/50 raffle,
trophies for winners and other prizes.
Mongoose Motorsports and Schuman’s Roadside & Towing sponsor the
event each year and we can’t thank them enough! Many volunteers give
their time to staff the APL booth, help at registration, and the auction. It’s
a wonderful group of people and businesses that come together to help
animals each and every year and all proceeds benefit Portage APL. They
also take up a collection of supplies like food, litter and paper towels too.
And it never fails to bring a truckload of much needed donations for our
shelter. People share their stories with us about animals they’ve adopted and love. We love to hear them because
it's a reminder of why what we do means so much. Money is raised, friends are made and a fun day is had by
many. Not a bad way to spend a sunny, Saturday afternoon. The event brought in over $4,000! Thank you to all who helped!
Become an APL Volunteer!
Volunteering is an important and rewarding way to help Portage APL and our wonderful animals. From
walking dogs and petting cats to planning events, mailing letters or fostering kittens, each volunteer makes a
difference in the life of a homeless animal living in our shelter.
The hard working staff is busy each day cleaning, giving medicine, washing dishes, feeding and more. They
would love to spend their time with the cats and dogs but their work needs done to keep our animals safe
and happy. This is where volunteers come in. While they wait to find their forever homes, dogs and cats
need to have human interaction, enrichment, play and love. Keeping them happy reduces stress and helps
them stay healthy. Some are very scared or have been abused so spending time with them helps them learn
to trust.
Each week a variety of people come to the shelter to help. Some are “regulars” that we see and know well.
There are a certain few that we can count on arriving on their usual day each week. Other volunteers come
when they have time and we appreciate that too. It’s a nice surprise to have someone show up that you
weren’t expecting. Sometimes lives change and people can no longer volunteer. This is why we always
have a need.
Whether you chose to volunteer at an event, pet a cat, walk a dog, or stuff envelopes, you’ll help APL
animals. Becoming a volunteer is easy. You just need to fill out an application, submit it and we’ll contact you
to schedule an orientation. You just need to have time, passion and show up. The best part is
you’ll get lots of wet kisses and purrs to thank you for your time (from the animals, of course).
You’ll also enjoy the reward of knowing that you made a difference to an animal that is unwanted,
abused, injured or surrendered.
Some of our volunteers are pictured here. Erika (Top), Lisa (Middle), and Brown Mackie College
Students (Bottom). You can visit our website or call us for more information.

A Note from our Executive Director
Dear APL friends,
This year has certainly flown by and I haven’t had a chance to say a few words to you yet. By the time you receive this, it will already
be October and the holidays will be around the corner. What a year it has been! In January a long court case ended with the
defendant pleading guilty to eleven counts of animal cruelty. This was a win for us and the animals. It took months and months but in
the end the owner cannot own any more animals for 5 years and we can do random checks as needed.
We held some wonderful events this summer like Paws for Golf, Paws to Shop Rummage Sale and the APL Car Show. We attended
many events like the St. Joe’s Festival, Rose’s Rescue Adoption event, Dog Days of Summer in Kent, Big Dee’s Puppy Palooza, and
more. Thanks to all the groups who have invited us out and the volunteers who so kindly staff these events. We try to attend as many
as we can so we can remind people of the great work we do.
“Kitten Season” came late and hasn’t stopped. Some weeks it seems to slow and then in one day we take in eight or ten – some with
no mothers who need bottle fed and some are a little older and sick. Whatever the case is, it has been a very busy year with kittens.
Additionally, injured and sick adult cats have been on the rise. Sometimes it felt like every time I turned around, there was a cat with a
broken leg, with injuries or very sick. By the end of August, we had taken in 362 cats which is up almost 20% over last year this time.
At one point in August, we had 4 dogs in our care at the same time that all needed amputations. You never know what might happen
and you can’t plan for everything. Sometimes an emergency results in an injured dog with a mild limp or a wound that can be easily
treated. But many times this year it seemed to be broken bones, lacerations, severe wounds, skin infections and more. Some are so
badly injured they don’t make it to the veterinarian in time. But many do. The good news is that we’ve been able to take care of these
injured dogs and cats and provide much needed surgeries, medicine, time and love because of you. Your donations are how we are
funded.
Proudly, we have been providing two low-cost spay and neuter clinics for cats each month. Since Portage APL is the only shelter in
the county that takes cats, it’s an uphill battle. But we hope these clinics will have an impact on the large number of cats in our
community. We take in as many as we can hold and hope the people in our county will take advantage of the low price options and
help their community cats too! We also sell Friends of Animals certificates that allow people to pay a low price for dog or cat spay and
neuter and use the certificate at one of many local vets.
People and businesses help us in many ways. If you want to help, there’s something for everyone. Volunteers do so much to help
care for animals, plan events, provide administrative help, staff our booths at community events and more. Donations of time are
invaluable. Monetary donations make up most of our yearly budget and make our work possible. Businesses and groups often do
“jeans days,” collect items, sponsor events, provide matching gifts for their employees and much more. The donations we receive in
the mail or online each day are our lifeblood. And once in a while we receive a bequest when someone has passed away and thought
of the APL in their estate planning. We cannot plan for donations or bequests but they keep our doors open each day and will in the
future. Here’s to another 60 years of caring for homeless, abandoned, neglected and injured animals in
Portage County.
And don’t forget to join us for our annual Paws to Taste event on December 5, 2015. It promises to be
wonderful and fun event. I hope you’ll come!
With thanks,
Chalan Lowry

Spare Change Changes Lives
This donation canister helps bring in life-saving donations. We have placed several around the community at
local businesses. Putting your spare change in them adds up. It is also a reminder to people who see it, that
we are providing important services to the Portage County community and its animals.
Do you have a business or work somewhere that would accept a donation canister? There’s not much to it.
We have a key and will send a volunteer or staff person to empty it periodically. All you have to do is give us
a spot. They have brought in thousands of dollars. If we had 10 more or 20 more, imagine what could be
raised.
Feel free to call us or email if you are interested.
Paws to Shop Rummage Sale
There was something for everyone at the APL Paws to Shop Rummage Sale on
August 28-29th. There was jewelry, books, ceramics, glassware, furniture,
luggage, handbags, and much more.
A huge thank you to Rt. 14 Storage, Embroidery & More for opening up your
storage units and collecting the items people dropped off! It helped so much. Thank
you to the volunteers for giving their time to sort and sell items. And thank you to all
who donated items to be sold. In the end, we raised about $1400. That will sure buy
a lot of food and litter.
Adopt A Senior Animal. They’ll Love You For It!
“What if they don’t live very long? What if they get sick?” It’s usually this fear that makes people pass on a senior animal. Any
animal, regardless of age can be a wonderful member of the family. Please consider adopting a senior animal. Don’t we all hope
that someone will take care of us when we grow old? Senior animals are often the hardest to adopt. We think they're great and here
are some reasons why:
♥
They won’t get any bigger so you know what you’re dealing with.
♥
They often know the basics like where to scratch, chew or play.
♥
They are usually more relaxed and less energetic than a young animal.
♥
Many times they are already potty / litter trained.
♥
You CAN teach an old dog or cat new tricks.
♥
They make great napping companions.
♥
They’re cute!
♥
They’re very loving.
Landon, a senior dog who was adopted.

our doors open. Thank you!
You can help homeless dogs and cats through a generous donation of your used car, boat
or recreational vehicle.
You will get a tax deductible contribution. Your item will receive Free Pick-up and Free
Processing.
