“Anyone who doesn’t know what soap<br />
tastes like, never washed a dog.”<br />
Franklin P. Jones, American humorist<br />
Our staff members know what soap tastes<br />
like. They know the joy of kitten purrs,<br />
but they also recognize the subtle signals<br />
of an unhappy cat. They’ve experienced<br />
bruised shins from over exuberant tail<br />
wags, and had their hair rearranged by<br />
feline stylists. They’ve force fed sick kittens<br />
because sustenance is the difference<br />
between life and death. They’ve stood on<br />
8 foot ladders with catch poles to try to<br />
rescue wayward rooftop cats.<br />
They arrive in the morning to the chorus<br />
of 50 hungry cats demanding breakfast<br />
and 25 dogs who want to go out NOW!<br />
When they go home at the end of the day,<br />
they carry the lingering odor of disinfectant,<br />
as well as bleach stains on their favorite<br />
pair of jeans.<br />
Visitors to the shelter will notice the animals<br />
are clean, well fed, healthy and<br />
happy – and so are the humans! I’m often<br />
amazed at the dedication our staff members<br />
show to the <strong>Hinsdale</strong> <strong>Humane</strong> <strong>Society</strong>.<br />
Most of our staff members have college<br />
degrees. Believe me, they could all<br />
be making a higher salary somewhere<br />
other than a not-for-profit agency! So<br />
why do they work here (including nights<br />
and weekends)!<br />
Because they love animals! They have the<br />
privilege of helping cats, dogs, veterinarians,<br />
police officers, the <strong>pub</strong>lic and each<br />
other. They hold precious life within their<br />
hands and feel unconditional love. They<br />
experience the thrill of having adopting<br />
families and their pets visit the shelter<br />
with stories of extraordinary moments of<br />
profound joy.<br />

History of HHS - <strong>Humane</strong> Education<br />
A Compassionate Message for All Ages<br />
In July of 1953, Mrs. John Lessel became President of the newly formed <strong>Hinsdale</strong><br />
<strong>Humane</strong> <strong>Society</strong>. The first stated purpose of the <strong>Society</strong> was to “educate<br />
the <strong>pub</strong>lic in the proper handling and training of animals, dogs in particular.” It<br />
was the <strong>Society</strong>’s hope that “a program of visual education along the lines of<br />
child education in animal care and understanding can be included in current<br />
school programs…fitting into the health and safety category of curriculum.”<br />
The focus of our founding mothers was in responsible pet ownership; keeping<br />
dogs on leashes, picking up after one’s dog, and spaying and neutering pets.<br />
Our early humane educators were volunteers with their own homemade felt<br />
boards and posters who made visits to area classrooms.<br />
In 1981, the <strong>Society</strong> completed the Educational Resource Room, complete with<br />
resident birds, bunnies, hamsters, gerbils, fish and even a chinchilla. Educational<br />
books, pamphlets and posters were used to spread the message of the interconnectedness<br />
of animals and human kind.<br />
In 1991, through a bequest<br />
from the estate of Lena Ford,<br />
a member of HHS during its<br />
formative years, HHS announced<br />
the addition of<br />
Carole Huebotter, its first<br />
education director. Carole,<br />
an educator with 23 years<br />
experience, took <strong>Humane</strong><br />
Education to new heights,<br />
packaging structured humane<br />
educational programs for<br />
schools, purchasing videos<br />
and books, and giving the<br />
HHS a “foot in the door” to<br />
local schools.<br />
Lace School PAWS Club, Darien, enjoy a tour<br />
of HHS (Pets & Wildlife for Students)<br />
Today, the <strong>Humane</strong> Education Program has expanded to include a Junior <strong>Humane</strong><br />
<strong>Society</strong>, three weeks of summer camp, tours of the facility, READ to the<br />
dogs programs at five local libraries, Girl Scout and Brownie Pet Care badge<br />
work, adult forums, as well as the traditional school-based humane educational<br />
programs. In 2009, 126 groups scheduled tours of HHS or had a humane education<br />
program at their school. In addition, we offer obedience classes, a behavior<br />
“help line” to answer questions regarding issues pet parents are having with<br />
their furry children, and we help the community with their questions regarding<br />
wildlife problems. We continue to emphasize responsible pet ownership and<br />
the importance of spaying and neutering our companion animals.<br />

GOOD NEWS!<br />
Holiday Highlights<br />
In a year with much economic uncertainty,<br />
we are pleased to share that<br />
many of our Holiday Fundraisers<br />
surpassed our goals. In fact, we ran<br />
out of holiday cards and cookbooks.<br />
And, we sold a record number of<br />
holiday animal sponsorships - up 65%<br />
from last year! Thanks to all who<br />
support our holiday fundraising. It<br />
helps us to continue to care for our<br />
homeless pets year round.<br />
HHS Holiday Fundraisers:<br />
• Sponsor an Animal Certificates<br />
• 2009 Holiday Appeal<br />
• 2009 Holiday Cards<br />

HHS Fundraising Cookbook<br />
Box Office Smash!<br />
The HHS fundraising cookbook, Bone<br />
Appétit, Recipes for Pets & People was<br />
one of the biggest hits of 2009. The<br />
cookbook features recipes from staff,<br />
volunteers, friends, area vet offices,<br />
hospitals, and animal related partners.<br />
The recipes are<br />
wonderful.<br />
However, the<br />
animal stories<br />
steal the show!<br />
The cookbook<br />
features adoption<br />
stories<br />
from HHS<br />
alumni. The<br />
animals share<br />
how they came<br />
to the shelter and how they found their<br />
loving forever homes. The cookbooks<br />
sold like hotcakes! It was a wonderful<br />
problem to run out and reorder. The<br />
good news is we do have cookbooks<br />
available and in stock at the shelter.<br />
The cookbooks are $15 each or $12<br />
each for 5 or more. For more call 630-<br />

Whenever I tell people I’m with the <strong>Hinsdale</strong> <strong>Humane</strong> <strong>Society</strong>, they often say<br />
“Oh, it must be so sad to work there.” While there are sad moments, each day is<br />
filled with the satisfaction of knowing the animals are safe and healthy until they<br />
find their forever homes.<br />
<strong>Hinsdale</strong> <strong>Humane</strong> <strong>Society</strong> Staff<br />

So to all our staff members, I thank you for your time, effort and energy. It is an<br />
honor to stand beside you in service to the cats and dogs.<br />
And to our volunteers, board members, adopters and supporters: thank you for all<br />
you do to make <strong>Hinsdale</strong> <strong>Humane</strong> <strong>Society</strong> such a great place to be! You know the<br />
old saying “If you love what you do you’ll never work a day in your life.” Now<br />
let’s all go out and taste more soap.<br />
HHS received a $5,090 grant from<br />
The Grace Bersted Foundation. The<br />
grant will allow us to grow our pet<br />
therapy programs in DuPage<br />
County, which has been a long term<br />
goal of the shelter. Currently, our<br />
Pet a Pet volunteers visit 21 area<br />
nursing homes and the READ teams<br />
visit 5 area libraries.<br />
So Long, But Not Goodbye<br />
The <strong>Hinsdale</strong> <strong>Humane</strong> <strong>Society</strong> would like to <strong>pub</strong>licly thank Jill Schuch for her<br />
dedication to our homeless animals for the past ten years. Jill began as a volunteer<br />
dog walker and then moved into the role of<br />
Volunteer Coordinator. Many of you will remember<br />
Fred, her German Shepherd and HHS<br />
alumnus who died in 2007, as they both entertained<br />
the crowd during volunteer orientations.<br />
Over the years, Jill has been our computer expert,<br />
webmaster, donor database manager, and<br />
Jill Schuch<br />
interim executive director. She recently resigned<br />
from HHS to relocate to Scottsdale, Arizona. Jill<br />
is the proud pet parent of Percy and Annie<br />
(READ and Pet a Pet participants) and Belle, all<br />
rescued Papillons. Annie is also an HHS alumnus.<br />
Outside of HHS, Jill has been an active<br />
Jill Schuch<br />
participant in rally and obedience training and as<br />
a volunteer for both Papillon and German Shepherd breed rescue groups.<br />
We thank Jill for her years of service to HHS and we know the shelter has benefitted<br />
from her compassion for animals. Jill, we wish you all the best!<br />
Kristi Wambaja, <strong>Hinsdale</strong> Animal Hospital’s Office<br />
Manager, picking up animals from HHS in their<br />
snappy new transport vehicle.<br />
A special thanks to the <strong>Hinsdale</strong><br />
Animal Hospital, <strong>Hinsdale</strong> for picking<br />
up and transporting HHS animals<br />
for spay and neutering. It’s<br />
such a help to the shelter to have<br />
this service available. And, the animals<br />
are now riding in style in the<br />
new <strong>Hinsdale</strong> Animal Hospital van!<br />

History of <strong>Humane</strong> Education<br />
continued from page 1<br />
Our hope is that one day there will no<br />
longer be any need for humane education.<br />
We hope that all pets will be<br />
wanted and well cared for. We hope<br />
that puppy mills and dog fighting will<br />
simply be an unhappy memory one<br />
day. We hope that individuals research<br />
and understand the needs and behaviors<br />
of any pet they choose to incorporate<br />
into their family. We look forward to<br />
that day.<br />

What to do if you find a lost pet<br />
By Jennifer Vlazny, HHS Operations Manager<br />
My German Shepherd, Hannah, escaped from our yard on November 28 th and<br />
minutes later a neighbor witnessed a car stop in front of our house and a young<br />
couple put her into their vehicle and drive away. Though Hannah was wearing<br />
a collar with multiple tags and is micro-chipped, she has yet to be returned.<br />
For those of you that may not know what to do should<br />
you find an animal running loose without an owner present,<br />
first and foremost, do not take it out of the area in<br />
which it was found. If you are unable to capture the animal,<br />
call the local police department and report a description<br />
of the animal and where it was last seen.<br />
If you are able to contain the animal and it is wearing<br />
identification tags, call the telephone numbers provided<br />
on the tags to obtain owner information and call the<br />
owner right away. If there is no visible identification, call<br />
the local police department and ask if they have a lost Hannah<br />
report matching the description of the animal.<br />
If not, provide them with the animal’s description, the location where it was<br />
found, and your contact information. If you are unable to care for the animal<br />
until the owner is found, ask the police the procedure for animals found in their<br />
village and follow that procedure. Doing so gives the owner every possible<br />
chance of finding their pet in a timely manner.<br />
If you choose to temporarily care for the animal while searching for its owner,<br />
file a report with the police department in the town where the animal was found<br />
as well as the surrounding villages. Take the animal to an animal shelter or<br />
veterinarian and ask if they will scan it for the presence of a microchip. An appointment<br />
is not required and they will do so for no charge. If the animal is<br />
found to have a microchip, they can instruct you how to obtain owner information.<br />
If a microchip is not present, report the above specifics to local humane<br />
societies and animal control organizations. Place a free Found ad in local newspapers.<br />
Create flyers and place them in retail stores, grooming shops, veterinarian<br />
offices, pet stores, and humane societies. Post a description on one of the<br />
many Lost & Found internet services as well as Craig’s List in both their Pets<br />
and Lost and Found sections. The HHS website has links to a number of Lost<br />
and Found services.<br />
Whatever you do, please do not assume an owner is not looking for their pet,<br />
even if the animal is not wearing identification. I know firsthand the devastating<br />
feeling of losing a beloved four-legged companion and not knowing where<br />
it is and if it is safe and well-cared for. I continue to pray that the persons who<br />
took our dog will do the right thing and return her to us. I know Hannah, too,<br />
wants to be home where she belongs with the family that loves her.<br />
If anyone has information regarding Hannah, please call 630-323-5630 x14. There is a<br />
large reward for her safe return.<br />

Ask Jenny…HHS Operations Manager &<br />
Obedience Instructor, Jennifer Vlazny, answers pet<br />
related questions and offers practical advice.<br />
I’m diverting from the usual Question/Answer format of this column to address<br />
a topic that has dramatically affected my life personally. By doing so, I<br />
hope to help spare other pet owners from experiencing the anguish I am currently<br />
living through as a result of the recent loss of my German Shepherd. I<br />
have always thought of myself as a responsible pet owner, but Hannah’s escape<br />
from our fenced yard and ultimate disappearance have made me realize<br />
that even if you are a conscientious pet owner and think you’re doing everything<br />
right regarding the welfare of your four-legged family members, accidents<br />
can still happen. The following preventative measures can help safeguard<br />
your pet from becoming lost, as well as to increase your chances of<br />
finding it in a timely manner should the unthinkable happen.<br />
Micro-chip your pet and keep your contact information with the implant company<br />
current. Ask your veterinarian to scan your pet during annual visits to<br />
make certain the chip has not migrated and can be readily detected with a<br />
scanner. If it has migrated far from the implant site, it is highly recommended<br />
that the animal be re-chipped.<br />
Your pet should wear a collar with tags, including an owner identification tag<br />
displaying your current telephone number and address, at all times. Inspect<br />
the tags periodically to make sure the information is still legible and has not<br />
worn or faded. Know exactly what tags your pet is wearing.<br />
Have current pictures of your pet that are clear and close-up with minimal<br />
background distractions that can be downloaded from your computer to make<br />
Lost flyers and email to friends, relatives, and Lost and Found internet sites<br />
should the animal become lost.<br />
Keep telephone numbers of your local police department, humane societies,<br />
and animal control organizations readily accessible in the event you need to<br />
call them. The quicker your pet is reported missing, the better your chances<br />
of being reunited.<br />
And last, but certainly not least, never allow your pet off leash in an unfenced<br />
area or unattended in your yard, even for a few minutes. A few safety precautions<br />
now could very well save you the sorrow and heartbreak of losing a<br />
beloved four-legged family member later.<br />

<strong>Humane</strong> <strong>Society</strong> “Making A Difference”<br />
On Saturday, October 24 th , 2009 HHS volunteers were out in full force! Teams of<br />
volunteers set out to visit area nursing homes all on the same day, National Make<br />
a Difference Day. We had approximately 20 animal therapy teams with pets and<br />
over 80 volunteers reaching out to hundreds of area residents. Each facility had<br />
both an animal therapy team and a second team of cheerful volunteers to say<br />
hello, visit, and share time with local residents.<br />
Residents especially enjoyed the carnations and handmade drawings. Phillips<br />
Flowers, generously donated 1000 carnations and hundreds of area school children,<br />
scouting troops, and groups created over 500 special Make A Difference<br />
Day drawings.<br />
It was a wonderful day for all involved. “It was very rewarding to know that we<br />
made a difference in the lives of our area seniors,” shared Pam Salomone, HHS<br />
PR Special Events Director. “We heard that during our visit, one resident smiled<br />
for the first time that month.”<br />

HHS “Bowling for the Animals” Fundraising Event!<br />
FROM OUR MAILBAG<br />
I am so fortunate to have sweet little<br />
Lily in MY life!<br />
Pat<br />
We adopted “Nugget” now Wrigley,<br />
from HHS in June 2009 and she has<br />
been such a great addition to our family.<br />
She has settled in nicely to our<br />
home and keeps us walking and smiling<br />
more that we did before. She<br />
graduated from her training class and<br />
training her has been easy. Thank you<br />
for rescuing her so we could find her!<br />

Lily<br />
In December ‘08, we adopted “Fuzz”<br />
the cat. She has brought so much joy<br />
into our lives and we can’t imagine life<br />
without her. We’ve always been “dog<br />
people” but when we saw Fuzz and her<br />
shiny silver/grey coat and bright green<br />
eyes, we knew we had to have her. We<br />
enjoy her company and how sweet and<br />
cuddly she is. We are so grateful to<br />
have her. Thank You!<br />
Shawn and Jackie<br />
Thank you to the wonderful HHS staff<br />
for all your help with adopting Annie.<br />
She is settling in very well. She loves<br />
attention, is very curious and gets<br />
along great with our other cat and dog.<br />
What a gift she is to our family. I will<br />
keep you updated on her progress.<br />
Sincerely, Marg<br />
We Want To Hear from You!<br />

You are “Special” and wonderful<br />
people!<br />
