Dear Friends,<br />
Even though it’s still cold outside, spring and<br />
summer are just around the corner. And that<br />
brings me to talk a little about dogs being left<br />
in cars in the heat of summer.<br />
Last year we received and responded to over<br />
eighty-five calls when the temperatures were<br />
not even fit for people to be outside, let alone<br />
dogs in parked cars with the windows cracked.<br />
A person always thinks they’ll just be a minute<br />
and then…lines are longer than they anticipate<br />
or they run into an old friend or neighbor and<br />
start visiting. Before they know it, ten minutes<br />
has passed.<br />
In ten minutes on a hot day in Kansas, the temperature<br />
in a parked car with the windows<br />
cracked can rise to 160 degrees which is<br />
enough to cause a pet to suffer heat stroke,<br />
brain damage and possibly death. Please—if<br />
you love your pet, leave them home in the heat<br />
of the day. If you want to take them for a<br />
drive, wait till evening when you will be with<br />
them.<br />
If you see a pet in a car on a hot day call us. If<br />
it is deemed a pet in need of care, the pet<br />
owner will be cited.<br />
ADOPT A CAT MONTH is<br />
June will be here soon and to<br />
most animal shelters that<br />
means Adopt-A-Cat month!<br />
There will be much going on<br />
in the cat room, lots of adoptions<br />
we hope and the starting of our remodeling process.<br />
With the help of a Friends volunteer and treasurer of the<br />
Friends of the <strong>Animal</strong> <strong>Shelter</strong> group (Melodee), we applied<br />
for a grant with <strong>Pet</strong>sMart Charities for re-vamping the cat<br />
room.<br />
We received enough to purchase four of the cat condos; we<br />
still need three more to meet our needs. These will be tower<br />
units with portholes and larger than the small kennels we<br />
have now. This means when we have multiple cats that come<br />
in together they can stay together until they are adopted. Or<br />
if we aren’t to capacity we can open the portholes and give<br />
them even more room to roam. If you would like to make a<br />
donation to the cat room remodeling project you can send<br />
your donation to the animal shelter in care of: The Cat Room<br />
Project.<br />
Be watching for changes to come…<br />

<strong>Pet</strong><br />
Memorials<br />
Knowing the different<br />
stages of<br />
grief and how they<br />
will affect you can<br />
be tremendously<br />
helpful in working<br />
towards pet grief recovery. It<br />
can also help you know you are<br />
not alone in your grief and that<br />
pet death grief is natural and to<br />
be expected. You are not “over<br />
reacting”, you are simply reacting<br />
in a natural and expected<br />
way to the loss of a dear friend.<br />
When a pet dies many people<br />
find themselves feeling totally<br />
alone and lost. If they choose<br />
to have their pet cremated or<br />
buried in a pet cemetery they<br />
often find themselves the object<br />
of ridicule by non pet owners<br />
who simply do not understand<br />
that the passing of a pet is as<br />
real and devastating to that person<br />
as the passing of a human<br />
loved one.<br />

Your experience of grief will<br />
depend on the circumstances of<br />
your loss, but it is important to<br />
get the support you need. By<br />
educating ourselves, we may<br />
find it easier to deal with our<br />
loss. You will know what to<br />
expect and feel less inclined as<br />
many people do, to feel as<br />
though you must constantly<br />
apologize for your feelings and<br />
your actions.<br />

DOG<br />
Heartworm<br />
Disease….What is it?<br />
Heartworm is a condition in dogs caused by a certain<br />
type of parasite. These parasites are transmitted<br />
to your pet through mosquitoes. If you are living<br />
in an area where there are lots of mosquitoes<br />
during the night, it is very important that you seriously<br />
consider heartworm prevention measures for<br />
your dog. Heartworm is a very dangerous disease.<br />
It can kill your dog if you don’t do something<br />
about it. Even more disturbing is the fact that this<br />
disease is very prevalent in the US, more particularly<br />
in the West where there are large open fields.<br />
As everybody knows, mosquitoes are common in<br />
rural areas and in the countryside.<br />
The moment heartworm-transmitting mosquitoes<br />
bite your dog, the larvae will be transferred into its<br />
bloodstream. It will incubate there for several<br />
days. That’s the start of the disease. If left ignored,<br />
the parasites will eventually cause your pet<br />
a lot of harm. As such, it will need to be treated<br />
right away.<br />
Once the parasites find their way in the right ventricle,<br />
they will duplicate in number. Too many of<br />
them can cause an extreme hazard to the dog’s vital<br />
organs. As you know failure of the heart may<br />
mean failure of the whole system.<br />
This disease is called Heartworm because the<br />
parasites tend to invade the heart of dogs. The<br />
eggs are deposited into the blood stream and are<br />
transported into the rest of the body until they<br />
reach the heart. The initial symptom of heartworm<br />
is coughing. As the parasites find their way from<br />
the heart and into the lungs, it will cause a group<br />
of symptoms similar to a pulmonary disease like<br />
lung cancer. Hemoptysis and chest pain come<br />
along with it.<br />
In many North American regions April is the time<br />
of the year when veterinarians begin to check dogs<br />
(and cats) for exposure to heartworm organisms<br />
that may have occurred during previous mosquito<br />
season. If your pet was infected last mosquito season,<br />
evidence of the disease may be detectable<br />
then-though it really is dependent of the time in<br />
which your dog was infected. Like any other<br />
pathogenic situation, the earlier a diagnosis is<br />
made and treatment is begun, the better the<br />
chances your pet will recover properly. Give your<br />
veterinarian a call early this spring so that your<br />
dog (or cat) can be tested for heartworm disease.<br />
Current heartworm test are more accurate than<br />
what was available only a few years ago.<br />

Pua ò fani<br />
Thanks to the wonderful people<br />
at the <strong>Salina</strong> <strong>Animal</strong> <strong>Shelter</strong> for<br />
finding me a good new home in<br />
California. My new name is<br />
Pua ò fani, which means “love<br />
one” in Hawaiian, ext name,<br />
Minnie.<br />
It was a long ride but it was<br />
worth it. My new mommie<br />
gives me lots of hugs, kisses,<br />
and loves me so much. I have<br />
the best care. My sister Kai’Lai<br />
and my brother the cat like me<br />
to. Thanks again for finding me<br />
such a good home.<br />

“At first I was embarrassed<br />
me, a cat<br />
living with a single<br />
guy. But when I<br />
watch him pick up<br />
something with his<br />
hands and eat it, I<br />
can’t help but love<br />
him.”<br />
“She snores<br />
more than I<br />
do, but I still<br />
love my<br />
human”.<br />
I never understood why my human<br />
won’t leave the house without a<br />
leash. I think he’s afraid of getting<br />
lost. But it’s OK, I kind of like<br />
showing him around!<br />

JOE GIBSON<br />
Carolyn Jo Walker<br />
Do you think the time is right?<br />
May I say goodbye to pain filled days and endless lonely nights<br />
I’ve lived my life and done my best, an example tried to be.<br />
So can I take that step beyond, and set my spirit free.<br />
I didn’t want to go at first, I fought with all my might.<br />
But something seems to draw me now to a warm and living light.<br />
I want to go, I really do; it’s difficult to stay.<br />
But I will try as best I can to live just one more day.<br />
To give you time to care for me and share your love and fears.<br />
I know you’re sad and afraid, because I see your tears.<br />
I’ll not be far, I promise that, and hope you’ll always know,<br />
That my spirit will be close to you wherever you may go.<br />
Thank you so for loving me. You know I love you too.<br />
And that’s why it’s hard to say goodbye and end this life with you.<br />
So hold me now just one more time and let me hear you say,<br />
Because you care so much for me, you’ll let me go today.<br />

MEA BLANDING
Why You Should<br />
Adopt<br />
an Aging Dog<br />
Families who have made the decision to bring an older dog into<br />
their home are the first to tell you how much better their lives<br />
are for it, and shelters are filled with senior dogs hoping to enjoy<br />
their puppy retirement with a warm bed (or floor) and good<br />
company. The list of benefits is endless, here are five amazing<br />
reasons to look to the older dog generation when adopting.<br />
WISDOM COMES WITH THE TERRITORY:<br />
With experience come wisdom, and like people, older dogs are<br />
chocked full of it. A senior dog is typically housetrained and<br />
socialized and no longer needs to chew up your household<br />
items just to get attention. This helps you to avoid the stress<br />
and chaos that comes with raising and training a puppy.<br />
A SENIOR DOG KNOWS WHO THEY ARE<br />
An older dog already has an established personality. We can<br />
learn a thing or two from a senior dog who has figured out who<br />
he is and what he wants. You won’t have to guess what they<br />
need because they will be the first to tell you. Nor do you have<br />
to worry about any surprises either, since what you see is what<br />
you get.<br />
THEY TAKE THE TIME TO SMELL THE ROSES<br />
Since dogs are generally much calmer than younger dogs, and<br />
their sense of appreciation is overwhelming. Don’t be surprised<br />
if a senior dog will sit by your side for hours, content<br />
with periodic, hugs and pets. Now that they’ve left the wasted<br />
effort of chasing their tail behind them, they have more time to<br />
enjoy their environment, and more importantly, enjoy your<br />
company.<br />
BECAUSE MOST PEOPLE JUST WON’T<br />
Simply put, the majority of dogs that aren’t adopted and face<br />
the risk of being put to sleep are older dogs. Puppies and<br />
younger dogs are typically adopted first, leaving behind an<br />
amazing group of dogs that face discrimination purely because<br />
of their age. If you won’t adopt a senior dog, no one will.<br />
YOUR HEART WILL THANK YOU<br />
An older dog is so happy and grateful to have a second chance<br />
in life that he will most likely welcome your companionship<br />
with open arms. He gives back to you more than you could<br />
ever imagine.<br />
Whether your dog is young or old, there are no guarantees in<br />
life, so if you are going to rescue a dog, then look beyond their<br />
age and you will certainly find the one that is right for you.<br />
Adopting<br />
The right Cat<br />
For you<br />
Longing to add a small four-legged friend to your household?<br />
<strong>Animal</strong> shelters have great cats that are there<br />
through no fault of their own. If your looking for a purebred<br />
or a mutt, they have both. Picking a cat through a<br />
shelter may require more effort but the rewards are worth<br />
it.<br />
CAT OR KITTEN<br />
Decide whether you want a cat or a kitten. Kittens are<br />
cute, but have insanely high energy and do destroy things.<br />
If you have small children, they may not mesh well with a<br />
kitten....kittens scratch and little kids crush. Older cats are<br />
calmer and you can tell what their personalities are like.<br />
Often cats are given up because the original owner doesn’t<br />
have time for the cat, lost their home, or had allergies, not<br />
because the cat was a problem.<br />
VISIT THE SHELTER<br />
You may be surprised what you find. <strong>Shelter</strong>’s don’t always<br />
have the resources to post pictures of all the animals,<br />
so be sure to go in and see who they have available. Bring<br />
everyone that is involved in the decision of what cat to get.<br />
EVALUATE THE CATS<br />
Have interaction with the cat. Have a shelter staff member<br />
take it out of the cage: most shelters have an area for you<br />
to pet the cat. Remember that cats are scared in this new<br />
environment, but petting and talking to the cat should give<br />
you a general idea of it’s personality. If you have children<br />
and the cat isn’t scared of them in the shelter environment,<br />
the cat should also get along with them at home.<br />
MAKE A CHOICE<br />
Once you’ve chosen your new pet, the shelter will have<br />
you fill out paperwork and pay your fee. The fee includes<br />
the cost of spay or neuter and shots.<br />
• Introduce your cat to its litter box as soon as you get<br />
home.<br />
• If you have other pets, introduce them slowly.<br />
• Confine your cat to it’s own area.<br />
• Give the cat time to adjust to your home.<br />
• Buy toys your new cat will play with.<br />
• Ask shelter staff for their recommendations.<br />
