When the Washington Humane Society and the Washington Animal
Rescue League decided to join forces, we knew great things would
happen. Given the history and accomplishments of each organization,
how could they not?
As the past year has proved, our optimism was more than justified.
Although we have been a single entity since February 2016, we just
celebrated an anniversary of sorts on October 24 – our first 12 months
as the Humane Rescue Alliance (HRA). Our mission reflects the best
of each of our legacy organizations; we are focused on saving lives,
creating families, strengthening our community, and setting a new
standard for animal welfare. Since we announced our new name and
brand, we have achieved many memorable “firsts.”
HRA developed and launched the HOPE (Help Out, Partner, and Engage)
Program, which helps animals by supporting the people who love them. Through this program,
we offer free spay/neuter surgeries, vaccinations, basic veterinary care, and a variety of free pet
supplies to residents in traditionally underserved areas of the District. For many pet parents, the
program provides a critical lifeline that helps them keep their animals happy, healthy, and at home.
And we’re poised to extend the reach of this effort thanks to the generosity of long-time HRA
volunteer and supporter Carol Melamed, who is matching every gift to the HOPE Program dollar
for dollar up to $100,000.
In January, HRA introduced our Blue Collar Cats program, which was featured in the fall issue of
Alliance. This community-based rehoming initiative puts cats unsuited to home life to work doing
what they do best in return for food, shelter, and basic care. So far, 52 cats have found successful
“employment.”
Also, we created the District’s first kitten nursery, which you’ll read about in this issue. Located at
our New York Avenue Adoption Center, this effort allows us to better care for the youngest and
most vulnerable felines who find their way to us by tapping the skills of volunteer foster parents
with experience in bottle feeding. These dedicated volunteers supplement the round-the-clock
care given by staff.
Also in these pages are the stories of two very different dogs. One was the oldest (18 years!) to ever
to pass through our doors and into a loving home. Another became our first to be accepted for
search and rescue training. Although he ultimately proved unsuited for that work, he was adopted
by a great family.
Most recently, we experienced a “first” of which I am very proud – but it is also incredibly bittersweet.
On October 3, the DC Council passed the Standard Care for Animals Amendment Act. This
legislation establishes strong definitions for adequate care for animals, including requirements
involving food, space, shelter, and water. For the first time in the District’s history, it also empowers
our dedicated Animal Control officers by providing them with citation writing authorities and
additional tools to ensure that the animals of our city are protected.
The bitter part of this landmark legislation was the heartbreaking death of HRA’s Vice President
of Field Services, Ray Noll, who played a pivotal role in crafting this legislation. He died just a few
days before the amendment became law. For months, Ray worked tirelessly to ensure that the bill
would effectively address the issues of both care and enforcement. The passage of “Ray’s Law”
is a testament to his dedication to animals, commitment to serving the community, and his huge
heart. The law is a fitting legacy to a man who lived his life as a true champion of animals. He will
forever be a part of HRA, and he is sorely missed.
We are very proud of what the Humane Rescue Alliance has accomplished in its first official year
as an organization. But as all of us in animal rescue and welfare know, it’s never enough. So as we
look ahead to 2018, we will recommit ourselves, in Ray’s honor, to learning more, sharing more,
and helping more. We look forward to the continued journey and we invite you to join us on it.

Nurturing the
Most Vulnerable
Kitten Nursery Increases
Survival of Newborns
By Pamela Townsend, Media Coordinator
It may not have baby blue walls, lacy pink curtains, or a
nursery rhyme night light, but a new infant care center offers
the essential nurturing all newborns need. And it’s just for
neonatal kittens…and the occasional canine bottle baby.
The Humane Rescue Alliance (HRA) established the DC
region’s first shelter “kitten nursery” in May 2017 to meet the
special needs of neonatal orphan kittens. It’s the brainchild
of HRA foster program manager Jennah Billeter, who came
up with the idea after a sudden and large influx of nursing
felines and their kittens, as well as other rescued neonatal
or orphaned kittens, arrived over the course of just a few
short days from a hoarding case at HRA a little over a year
ago. “Many of the moms were in bad shape so we ended
up having 40-plus bottle babies,” Billeter recalls. “Staff just
weren’t able to keep up with caring for all of the kittens while
we searched for fosters and transfer placement, so I invited
volunteer foster parents who knew how to bottle feed to
come in for regular feeding shifts. It worked so well that it
inspired me to establish a formal program for our orphaned
neonatal babies.”
Billeter created a plan for the nursery with volunteer Abby
Meltzer, who since 2015 has fostered more than 100 animals,
mostly litters of kittens and nursing moms. Collaborating
with Billeter, Meltzer was responsible for setting up the
nursery, which currently consists of designated cage space
in the treatment room at the New York Avenue Adoption
Center, although Billeter hopes that someday there will be a
more “official” location.

”

From a physical standpoint, the kittens don’t
require much: formula, bottles, a heat source
(snuggle safes) to keep them warm, and cleaning
supplies. The biggest resource requirement,
according to Billeter, is time. “Caring for orphaned
neonates is a round-the-clock job requiring a
special skill set,” she explains.
Interested volunteers complete a three-part
training program to acquire the necessary skills:
a class on how to care for bottle babies, a shelter
and nursery orientation to teach them the ins
and outs of working in a shelter environment,
and a one-on-one feeding shift with a mentor
volunteer. So far, 17 volunteers have completed
all three levels of training and 25 are just waiting
to complete their mentored feeding shift.
Trained volunteers sign up in advance for regular
shifts so that the kittens are fed every two to four
hours throughout the day. Shifts run all day, every
day. During a shift the volunteer also weighs the
kittens, helps them eliminate, monitors cage
heat sources, cleans the cages as necessary, and
makes notes of anything that needs follow up by
the medical care staff. Shelter staff handle these
responsibilities for any shifts that are not covered
by volunteers.
Newborn kittens have extremely fragile immune systems and, sadly,
not all survive despite such dedicated care. Still, the statistics are
impressive. Since May, 127 kittens have been cared for in the nursery
before moving on to HRA foster homes or being transferred to rescue
organizations. Those that were cared for in foster homes then became
some of the more than 500 kittens adopted from HRA this year.
And while activity in the nursery has ended for the year, HRA volunteers
are prepared for the many babies that 2018 is sure to bring.

A Fairy Tale Ending for Julep
Senior Sweetheart Finds Her Prince Charming
By Maureen Sosa, Intake Director
Julep was surrendered to the Humane Rescue Alliance
(HRA) in February after her owner passed away, a relatively
common situation. What made her situation unique was her
age. At 18 years old, Julep was, we believe, the oldest dog
we’ve ever had in our care.
Not surprisingly, Julep became something of a celebrity
among staff and volunteers. “She was really sweet,” says
adoptions counselor Joel Lopez. “She liked to lay on you…
pretty much an oversized lap dog who just wanted lots of
love and attention.”
As an older dog, we knew Julep wouldn’t be as popular
among potential adopters; but all it takes is one. So, in the
hope of finding that one, our communications staff turned
to social media to give her some extra visibility. Thanks to
their efforts, the sweet senior was featured in several news
articles and her story was shared more than 4,000 times on
Facebook. And it paid off.
Enter Wayne Lerch, who lost his beloved 11-year-old
dog Jasmine last December. “I saw a picture of Julep on
Facebook and I had to come see her,” he recalls. Lerch
arrived at HRA’s Oglethorpe Street Adoption Center on his
motorcycle—to prevent any “rash decisions.” He wanted the
excuse to be able to think about it. As soon as he met Julep,
however, he filled out the paperwork and went home to get
his car. And that was that.
To say staff and volunteers were happy would be an
understatement. “It was like Christmas morning,” recalls Geri
Lee, an HRA veterinary technician, who called Julep her
pretty princess. “We’re happy whenever any of our animals
get adopted,” Lee explains, “but it’s sheer joy when an older
one finds a loving home.” And Julep has certainly found that.
“I know she’s not going to be around for very long but that’s
okay,” Lerch said before he and Julep left the shelter. “She
deserves to live out the rest of her life in a loving home with
somebody who’s going to pamper her and make sure that
she enjoys the last bit of life she has.”
Since then, Lerch and Julep—now named Tootie in honor
of Lerch’s grandmother—have definitely been enjoying life.

“Tootie is doing great!” says Lerch enthusiastically. “While
she’s not all that interested in squeaky toys, she loves
playing tug of war and moving one of her beds around the
apartment. I don’t need to a watch to know when it’s 10 p.m.
because she lets me know it’s time for her Greenie.”
And according to Lerch, “the Toots” has become a favorite in
his building. She wants everyone to pet her and will check
everyone’s bags to see if there are any tasty treats she can
steal.
“I can’t believe how lucky I am to have found her,” he says.
“She brings joy to my heart and while I still miss Jasmine
so much, Tootie reminds me that I am a better person for
having her in my life.”
“
We’re happy whenever
any of our animals get
adopted, but it’s sheer joy
when an older one finds a
loving home.

The Long and Winding
Road to Happiness
One Dog’s Journey from Shelter
Resident to Search and Rescue
Trainee to Beloved Family Member
By Alexandra Dilley, Director of Behavior and Training
Labrador retrievers are popular dogs, and there’s a reason for
that. They tend to be happy, outgoing companions who get
along well with a variety of people and animals. Still, there’s a
wide variety of individual personalities within the breed, and
some of those are not for everyone. Labs tend to mature later
than other dogs, sometimes retaining puppy-like qualities
well into adulthood. If working-line Labs are not properly
trained as puppies or in an environment that provides hours
of exercise and activities, some can overwhelm people with
play-biting, tugging, and jumping.
Bongo was a case in point. This handsome black Lab arrived
at the Humane Rescue Alliance (HRA) from a partner shelter
in Miami-Dade County the last week in December 2016. At 11
months old, he was “all puppy”—and a very large one at that.
He was extremely energetic and seemed capable of going
and going and going (think Energizer bunny) before he was
ready to take a break. He also loved his toys, always carrying
one in his mouth or on the lookout for one.
When Bongo first arrived, the Behavior and Training staff was
alerted that he was all teeth and that it was difficult to open
8 ALLIANCE

the kennel doors to take him out. When we worked with him, we
saw that he was actually a very sweet dog and that his behavior
came from his need for constant activity and excitement, so we
crossed our fingers that he would get out of the shelter quickly
and made sure to give him as much time out of his kennel with
staff and volunteers as we could.
Despite his friendly nature, Bongo proved to be just too much
dog for potential adopters. And the longer he remained in
the shelter, the more frustrated and mouthy he became. We
could see his potential but realized that adoption through the
traditional channels of the shelter would be extremely difficult.
Yet, because he was so happy to see everyone, we felt strongly
that Bongo would be a great dog if we could find the right
place for him. We got to work, searching for solutions. As we
explored the options and spent time working with him in the
shelter, it occurred to us that the qualities that made Bongo less
attractive to potential adopters were the same qualities that
might make him a good search and rescue dog: namely that he
was toy crazy and would carry his ball everywhere and loved to
play games like tug and fetch.
As we were looking into potential working dog programs, Ann
Brody Cove, a long-time HRA donor,* referred us to the National
Disaster Search Dog Foundation (SDF). The mission of this
non-profit, non-governmental organization based in California
is to strengthen disaster response in America by recruiting
rescued dogs and partnering them with firefighters and other
first responders to find people buried alive in the wreckage of
disasters.
We contacted the foundation, which asked us to submit a video
to assess Bongo’s innate level of interest in toys. He successfully
passed the first round of tests, leading the foundation to arrange
for an assessor from the D.C. Fire Department’s canine unit to
evaluate Bongo off site.
The evaluator took Bongo to a rubble pile in the city to see how
he would handle going in and out of tunnels, jumping up on
uneven surfaces in search of a tossed ball. Bongo was fearless
and driven! He stayed focused on the ball, which was dropped
into a pile of rubble, and alert barked when he could not get to
it. He then figured out how to jump into the dark and somewhat
deep hole to retrieve his ball, and pulled against the tension of
his leash to go “save” it. The assessor declared Bongo a natural
for search and rescue work, especially considering that he
was younger than most dogs that entered the program. Based
on the glowing report and required medical tests, the SDF
accepted him into their training program.
Once Bongo arrived, he went through a period of settling in and
training before his final exam. Sadly, he was too social to focus
around other dogs—he wanted to go say hi more than anything
else. I was so sad to hear that he didn’t pass, but the SDF
coordinator suggested transferring him to another working dog
program known as the Fetch Foundation in Arizona. The Fetch
Foundation works closely with other rescue organizations and
shelters to identify dogs that have the potential to be trained to
become search and service dogs or therapy dogs for veterans
ALLIANCE

or people with disabilities. They assured me that Bongo
would do well there and would still likely be involved in
search and rescue work, just not with other dogs. Since he
was already in California, it seemed a better option for him
than being shipped back to DC.
Ultimately, despite Bongo excelling at his training, they
found, as we did, that he was a very social guy. As a working
dog he would live a solitary life in a kennel when he wasn’t
working, and they didn’t feel that was the best place for
him because of his affectionate and outgoing character.
So they placed him with the family of a PetSmart executive
who were familiar with his breed and tendencies—and
who adore him! He gets lots of regular training and tons of
exercise from his teenage human “sister” and goes to work
with “mom” several days a week.
This was everything we could have hoped for, for Bongo,
now Sawyer. His family saw the same goofy and loveable
qualities we saw and was willing to put in the time and effort
to make it work. And so many people and organizations
worked together to save him and find him just the right
home, whatever it took. As the Beatles song goes, “The
long and winding road, that leads to your door will never
disappear, I’ve seen that road before; it always leads me
here.”
