“One kind word can warm three winter<br />
months.” -Japanese Proverb<br />
I don’t know about you, but January is<br />
not my favorite time of year. The harsh<br />
winds of winter, the early onset of darkness<br />
and the endless snow just wear me<br />
down. Snow is pretty in December when<br />
you’re dreaming of a white Christmas.<br />
Snow in January is just cold.<br />
How I long for a bit of warmth when I<br />
start my car or walk my dog! When I saw<br />
the quote, “One kind word can warm<br />
three winter months,” I realized I had<br />
discovered the key to a new outlook on<br />
winter. If a kind word can completely<br />
change one’s outlook, then a kind act can<br />
change someone’s life. How true!<br />

rescued from a puppy mill auction<br />
Our volunteers walk dogs in below zero<br />
wind chills and they brave icy roads to<br />
come to the <strong>Hinsdale</strong> <strong>Humane</strong> <strong>Society</strong> to<br />
play with the felines. Just think what that<br />
means to a homeless dog or cat who resides<br />
here! People adopt animals in spite<br />
of abysmal weather. It makes a huge difference<br />
in the life of the dog or cat. But<br />
adopting also warms the hearts of the<br />
family who finds a forever friend.<br />

So Long Rusty<br />
Rusty, the long roaming stray dog from Oak Brook, has safely arrived at his<br />
new home at Best Friends Animal <strong>Society</strong> in Utah. After 3 to 4 years of living<br />
on his own and depending upon strangers for his next meal, Rusty was finally<br />
captured on September 20, 2010 and brought to the <strong>Hinsdale</strong> <strong>Humane</strong> <strong>Society</strong>.<br />
From the first day of his arrival,<br />
Rusty has been very leery of people,<br />
and understandably so. During his<br />
years on the streets, he was always<br />
able to keep a respectable distance<br />
within his comfort zone. Life in captivity,<br />
however, proved to be difficult<br />
for Rusty. He seemed depressed.<br />
He staged a hunger strike. The only<br />
time he wagged his tail was when he<br />
was in the company of other dogs.<br />
So a difficult decision was made in<br />
late November to transfer Rusty to<br />
Best Friends Dogtown Sanctuary,<br />
where he could live in the company<br />
of other dogs while receiving rehabilitative<br />
training to learn to trust<br />
humans. Best Friends accepts less<br />
than 1% of the 2000 applications<br />
they receive monthly, so we were<br />
very pleased to know Rusty could<br />
live there. But it was a bittersweet<br />
decision. Rusty would have to leave<br />
familiar territory and the people<br />
who cared for him.<br />

Arboretum View Animal Hospital<br />
"We wanted the storybook ending;<br />
for him to be back in the neighborhood<br />
that loved him, in a home, sitting down with the family on the couch<br />
watching television," said Lori Halligan, Executive Director. "But that isn't<br />
what would have made him happy. That's what would have made us happy."<br />
A further complication of Rusty’s stay at HHS was his advanced case of heartworm<br />
infestation. Had Rusty not been captured when he was, there is no question<br />
he would have succumbed from his heartworm disease and very likely<br />
would not have made it through the winter. His most recent blood work shows<br />
he will require further medication for heartworms once he is settled at Best<br />
Friends in spite of three previous rounds of treatment.<br />
Rusty’s ongoing care and support has been made possible by many individuals<br />
who have made donations to pay for his medical care and transportation to<br />
Utah.<br />

So Long Rusty....continued from page 1<br />
While we cannot know everyone who has helped, we want to acknowledge his<br />
trustees, Harry and RonnDa Peters, Mike Gutjahr, and James Bradley.<br />
You probably know that Rusty was a “village mascot” for Oak Brook and much<br />
beloved by all who worried about his well being. Rusty’s many friends at Folletts<br />
Higher Education Group, the Windsor corporate business park, the Forrest Glen<br />
Homeowners Association, Oak Brook Police Department and Steve Arfenbarker<br />
Facebook fans have gone “above and beyond” to ensure that Rusty had all the<br />
comforts of home while he was convalescing with us at HHS.<br />
Rusty is the most famous<br />
resident of <strong>Hinsdale</strong> <strong>Humane</strong><br />
<strong>Society</strong> since Morris<br />
the cat. So it is fitting<br />
that he had a grand farewell<br />
party on January 14,<br />
complete with a police<br />
escort and camera toting<br />
members of the media.<br />
What is especially surprising<br />
is that Rusty, the dog<br />
so shy around humans,<br />
seemed to “work the<br />
Rusty greets his admiring fans at his farewell party<br />
crowd.” He bravely came<br />
right up to people and<br />
allowed many admirers a chance for a final farewell touch. He seemed to pose for<br />
the paparazzi and perform for the television cameras. “I was completely flabbergasted<br />
at his behavior,” said Halligan.<br />
Many people were moved to tears at the sight of their favorite, elusive canine during<br />
his farewell party. After about 15 minutes of receiving his admirers, Rusty<br />
returned to the <strong>Hinsdale</strong> <strong>Humane</strong> <strong>Society</strong> van for his personal chauffeur, Jennifer<br />
Vlazny HHS Operations Manager to drive him 1600 miles to Kanab, Utah.<br />
We are happy to report that Rusty has started his new life at Best Friends. Although<br />
he has been there only a few days, he has already worked his charm on the<br />
staff of Best Friends who say, “He’s an absolute sweetheart.” One important note:<br />
Rusty’s name is now Red, as Best Friends already had several dogs named Rusty<br />
and wanted to avoid further confusion.<br />
All of Red’s followers wish him well in his new surroundings. I think Jennifer<br />
Vlazny speaks for all of us when she says, “I must admit, though, I am going to<br />
miss the little fellow!” All photos of Rusty compliments of DMS Photography, Diane Smutney<br />

In Memory of Robert J. Jedlick<br />
The <strong>Hinsdale</strong> <strong>Humane</strong> <strong>Society</strong> gratefully<br />
acknowledges a generous<br />
bequest from the estate of Robert J.<br />
Jedlick, to be used to continue our<br />
work of assisting and placing animals.<br />
Mr. Jedlick raised and showed<br />
Bedlington terriers and was a lifelong<br />
supporter of animal welfare causes.<br />
He was a school librarian for 30<br />
years and was known as a scholar<br />
and a good friend. According to a<br />
close friend, “He is now at peace in<br />
Heaven, probably walking his dogs<br />
Dickens, Beckett and Chadwick who<br />
preceded him there.”<br />
If you’d like more information about<br />
including the <strong>Hinsdale</strong> <strong>Humane</strong> <strong>Society</strong><br />
in your will or trust, please contact<br />
Lori Halligan, Executive Director<br />
at 630-323-0251.<br />
In Memory of<br />
Vernon Goers, former owner of<br />
Vern Goers Greenhouse, recently<br />
passed away at the age of 84. The<br />
Goers family have been long time<br />
friends and supporters of <strong>Hinsdale</strong><br />
<strong>Humane</strong> <strong>Society</strong>.<br />
Ruth Ann Wolfe Cordin, died November<br />
6, 2010 at the age of 92. She<br />
served as president of HHS from<br />
1961-1962 and was instrumental in<br />
our early history.<br />
We are often contacted by families<br />
and funeral directors about making<br />
charitable gifts to honor the memory<br />
of a departed loved one. Memorial<br />
gifts are listed in our <strong>Winter</strong> and<br />
Summer quarterly newsletter. An<br />
acknowledgement is sent to the family<br />
to announce the gift, and the giver<br />
receives a thank you letter. Memorial<br />
gifts are used for our operational<br />
needs such as animal care and medications.<br />
As a final reminder, we respect the<br />
privacy of all our donors and<br />
friends. A gift made to HHS will be<br />
used and acknowledged in a manner<br />
which the giver feels most comfortable.<br />
We never share our mailing list<br />
with other charitable organizations.<br />

“Pennies for Paws” <strong>2011</strong> Spare Change Drive, April 11 - May 16th<br />
We have raised over $9,000 in spare change in the past two years!<br />
Sign up your school, classroom, or group to participate in the 3rd<br />
annual “Pennies for Paws” spare change drive. In the past two<br />
years, we have raised over $9,000 in spare change! That’s a lot of<br />
change - helping a lot of animals. The kids enjoy knowing that<br />
are making a difference in the lives of homeless animals. They<br />
love learning that their classrooms’ collected change of $100 allows us to care<br />
for a homeless dog for five days. Or that $75 collected will pay for medicine for<br />
five sick cats or dogs. And just $10 will buy a case of canned dog food.<br />
Join the <strong>Hinsdale</strong> <strong>Humane</strong> <strong>Society</strong> and area schools as we work together to help<br />
raise awareness of homeless pets, to educate hundreds of children, and to make a<br />
difference in our community. Classrooms can also request free animal related<br />
lesson plans and classroom presentations. Classrooms, students, children’s clubs<br />
or groups are invited to collect spare change for the <strong>Hinsdale</strong> <strong>Humane</strong> <strong>Society</strong>.<br />
They can win great prizes, too, including movie tickets, pizza, and trophies.<br />
To sign up your classroom, school, or group for the upcoming spare change<br />
drive, call 630-323-5630 x17 or email pam@hinsdalehumanesociety.org
Ask Jenny…HHS Operations Manager &<br />
Obedience Instructor, Jennifer Vlazny, answers pet<br />
related questions and offers practical advice.<br />
Q. I’ve heard conflicting information regarding when to spay my pet. Can<br />
you share any insight? John, Frankfort<br />
A. February is Spay/Neuter Awareness Month and a perfect time to address<br />
the topic. There are a myriad of medical and behavioral benefits to<br />
spaying or neutering your dog or cat, so much so that veterinarians routinely<br />
include them in their overall health care recommendations to pet owners. Today,<br />
however, the question is not as much whether to perform the surgery, but<br />
when.<br />
The old teaching in veterinary schools was that animals must be at least six<br />
months of age and that females should experience their first heat cycle and<br />
males reach sexual maturity. Some veterinarians even felt it was beneficial for<br />
a female to have at least one litter prior to spaying surgery. Regrettably,<br />
planned as well as accidental litters frequently occurred and contributed to the<br />
homeless animal crisis and euthanasia of millions of animals each year. Current<br />
research, however, shows that spaying females prior to their first heat<br />
dramatically reduces the risk of mammary tumors later in life, and neutering a<br />
male prior to sexual maturity not only has many health benefits, but lessens<br />
the risk of developing inappropriate behaviors such as roaming, urinemarking,<br />
and testosterone-induced aggression.<br />
As a result of medical research and advancement, many animal shelters and<br />
veterinarians are now spaying and neutering animals as young as two months.<br />
While there is still on-going controversy among currently practicing veterinarians,<br />
pediatric spaying/neutering is now being routinely taught in veterinary<br />
schools as part of their regular curriculum. The American Veterinary<br />
Medical Association and the American Animal Hospital Association are just<br />
two of the many professional organizations that support pediatric neutering.<br />
When making the decision as to when to alter your pet, it is best to consult<br />
with your own veterinarian who can advise you on what is best for your individual<br />
animal. Whether the surgery is done as young as two months of age or<br />
months later, having your pet spayed or neutered is a very vital component of<br />
being a responsible pet owner.<br />

Directors Desk continued from page 1<br />
In this issue, you will read about the travels of Rusty, the famous stray dog. I am<br />
convinced that Rusty is alive today because of the residents and office workers of<br />
Oak Brook who not only warmed him with kindness, but cared for Rusty for 3<br />
years.<br />
Likewise, a little lost dog was wandering in <strong>Hinsdale</strong> for 4 days in the snow, when<br />
an 11 year old boy put on his boots and grabbed a flashlight at 9:30 pm in order to<br />
save a life.<br />
So as you tolerate yet another winter, don’t just think warm thoughts. Spread a<br />
kind word or perform an act of kindness for someone in need. You may just warm<br />
your own heart in the process.<br />

Gracie<br />
Just wanted to send you a picture of<br />
Gracie! I adopted her about a month<br />
ago. She is a great little girl and every<br />
one that sees her comments on how<br />
pretty she is. She's getting bigger and<br />
adjusting more each day! Terri H.<br />
Scotch, our wiley Wire Fox Terrier,<br />

a wonderful companion in every way.<br />
We can’t imagine our lives without<br />
him! The Scotts<br />

HHS “Bowling for the Animals” Fundraising Event!<br />
FROM OUR MAILBAG<br />
We adopted Elias in Feb. and we just<br />
love him. I never knew a dog could be<br />
so happy to see me when I get home,<br />
even if I am gone for five minutes. He<br />
is such a funny dog and the whole family<br />
loves him. My husband always<br />
says that he never thought that a dog<br />
could love me more than he does but<br />
Elias proved him wrong. We have had<br />
four Huskies over the years and we<br />
love the breed. Bonnie W.<br />
Just wanted to let you know things are<br />
going great with Jackson. It took him<br />
about five minutes to explore each<br />
room in the house and become comfortable.<br />
He doesn’t need to be crated and<br />
already has full run of the house.<br />
Thank you, Jack L.<br />
My son and I adopted Heidi, Min<br />
Schnauzer, about a year ago. She goes<br />
everywhere with us and we love her<br />
tons! While I’m at work she stays and<br />
plays with my sister’s dog, Holly.<br />
They are great friends. Thanks for<br />
finding her! Sincerely, Lori G.<br />
