A PICTURE WORTH<br />
A THOUSAND<br />
WORDS<br />
“There are no words to express our deep<br />
gratitude to everyone who stepped up<br />
and sacrificed job time, family time,<br />
fuel, and personal resources to support<br />
the recent HSNT seizure <strong>of</strong> Heddins<br />
Kennel dogs and puppies. The overwhelming<br />
success <strong>of</strong> the entire operation<br />
was due to the significant contributions<br />
from our beloved animal welfare family.<br />
[...] Fortunately for these formerly suffering<br />
canines, we all pulled together<br />
to make great things happen for truly<br />
deserving dogs. It was an amazing thing<br />
to witness, and I believe HSNT and DF-<br />
WCares have made history...”<br />

HSNT OPENS NEW SURGERY OFFICE<br />
In September 2009, the <strong>Humane</strong> <strong>Society</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>North</strong> <strong>Texas</strong> moved the surgery center from the main shelter<br />
building on Lancaster Street to its new location at 2309 Chester Street. It can be easily found by turning onto<br />
Chester from Lancaster and going to the building directly behind cat adoptions on the west side <strong>of</strong><br />
HSNT’s main structure. Animals to be dropped <strong>of</strong>f, and picked up, for their spay/neuter<br />
surgeries should be brought to the new location.

More than 490 dogs were rescued on July 7, 2009, from the<br />
MaggicPets/Heddins Kennel puppy mill after Montague<br />
County sheriff’s <strong>of</strong>ficers served search and seizure<br />
warrants on the owners. <strong>Humane</strong> <strong>Society</strong> investigators first<br />
looked into the ranch 10 years ago, and received resident<br />
complaints “on a regular basis,” said Sandy Grambort, part<br />
<strong>of</strong> the HSNT Investigations team. “We had been unable to<br />
verify those complaints in the past, and that’s why no action<br />
was taken until this point,” she added.<br />
The front area <strong>of</strong> the 200 acre farm presented a friendly and<br />
inviting picture <strong>of</strong> the breeding business which had been in<br />
operation for more than 30 years. Behind a privacy fence,<br />
the scene changed drastically. Responders found pens with<br />
12 to 15 dogs inside and no water. They found dogs with<br />
missing legs and dogs that were already dead. They found<br />
many, many dogs suffering from skin and eye infections as<br />
well as advanced debilitating health conditions.<br />
Cynthia Jones, DVM, who examined all the dogs for the<br />
<strong>Humane</strong> <strong>Society</strong>, said she found something wrong with<br />
every one. An elderly Chihuahua, suffering from a broken<br />
lower jaw, broke the hearts <strong>of</strong> rescue workers as they<br />
watched him eat bits <strong>of</strong> kibble by carefully manipulating the<br />
angle <strong>of</strong> his head to s<strong>of</strong>ten it with saliva before swallowing.<br />
One small elderly male poodle, his fur so matted and eyes<br />
so encrusted he had become virtually blind, was found and<br />
coaxed to safety by rescuers in a field <strong>of</strong> weeds which was<br />
also hiding a nest <strong>of</strong> venomous copperhead snakes<br />
Chesapeake Energy donated the use <strong>of</strong> a 4,000 square-foot<br />
warehouse in the Fort Worth stockyards to temporarily<br />
house the animals and create a safe haven. They also<br />
provided support for the scores <strong>of</strong> volunteers working<br />
diligently around the clock caring for the animals. The<br />

Looking Forward to a New Leash on Life<br />
<strong>Humane</strong> <strong>Society</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>North</strong> <strong>Texas</strong> received assistance from the<br />
trained staff <strong>of</strong> United Animal Nations Emergency Animal<br />
Rescue Services and animal services <strong>of</strong>ficers from the cities<br />
<strong>of</strong> Fort Worth, Plano, and Irving. In addition, PetsMart<br />
Charities donated crates, food and supplies, the Renaissance<br />
Worthington hotel and the Hyatt Place housed some <strong>of</strong> the<br />
out-<strong>of</strong>-state volunteers, Mellina Animal Hospital lent their<br />
pr<strong>of</strong>essional assistance, and local restaurants fed workers.<br />
“As the animals started arriving we knew we had our work<br />
cut out for us. We did not have a moment’s rest once the<br />
seizure began [...] The lives <strong>of</strong> these animals have been<br />
transformed from solitude and despair to the promise <strong>of</strong> a<br />
safe future,” said Sandy Grambort at the staging shelter.<br />
At the custody hearing on July 17, Justice <strong>of</strong> the Peace<br />
Karen Reynolds awarded all but a few “family dogs” to the<br />
<strong>Humane</strong> <strong>Society</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>North</strong> <strong>Texas</strong>, and ordered Mr. & Mrs.<br />
Heddins to pay $40, 000 for the cost <strong>of</strong> their care. However,<br />
HSNT cannot count on receiving that money. Once again, it<br />
was the generous people <strong>of</strong> <strong>Texas</strong> who came to the rescue,<br />
sending in contributions, donating supplies and filling out<br />
adoption forms.<br />
About 25 breeds were seized, and approximately half <strong>of</strong><br />
the dogs were turned over to breed-specific rescue groups<br />
for fostering, rehabilitation and then adoption. All <strong>of</strong> the<br />
remaining dogs were adopted by the many local families<br />
who were eager to give a neglected animal a good home.<br />
Tammy Roberts, Lead Investigator for HSNT had this to<br />
say, “What matters is that the cruel and desperate doors <strong>of</strong><br />
their old world have been closed, and these animals are now<br />
safe. We are dedicated to bringing all animals a new day<br />
filled with loving care, hope, comfort and forever homes.”

76 ARABIAN HORSES FOUND IN CRITICAL CONDITION<br />
Owner, charged with neglect, says<br />
“...it is just not fair.”<br />
The website for Renezans Stables shows sleek, healthy Arabians with carefully<br />
groomed manes and tails. Unfortunately, those horses were not in sight when<br />
Denton County Sheriff’s Deputies arrived on August 14 in response to a<br />
caller’s report <strong>of</strong> neglected animals. Instead, they found many starving and<br />
emaciated horses standing in several inches <strong>of</strong> their own waste and urine, their<br />
food buckets long-empty and no water in sight. “It was shocking,” said Denton<br />
County Sheriff’s spokesman, Tom Reedy.<br />
As deputies and staff from the <strong>Humane</strong> <strong>Society</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>North</strong> <strong>Texas</strong> were loading<br />
the 76 horses for transfer to two different locations, the owner told deputies that he could not afford to feed the horses<br />
and did not have time to clean out their stalls. “This is devastating,” he said. “I had a problem getting hay to the ones in<br />
the barn... I can understand [the sheriff’s] position, but it is just not fair.” The 43-acre horse ranch, which is listed for sale<br />
at nearly $1.7 million, boasts a manager’s house, a show barn and many pens and fenced areas.<br />
Denton County Sheriff’s deputies obtained a warrant and detained the owner, Mr. Dennis Gordon Key. Later Mr. Key<br />
was arrested and charged with cruelty to livestock animals, a Class A misdemeanor punishable by up to a year in jail and<br />
a $4,000 fine. Bail was set at $10,000 and was posted on Sunday afternoon, August 16, releasing the owner.<br />
The horses began their recovery at a private ranch in Ponder and a sale barn in Pilot Point, under the care <strong>of</strong> HSNT staff<br />
and volunteers. Veterinary assessments revealed over 80% <strong>of</strong> the horses were in very poor to critical condition. Along<br />
with being severely malnourished, “They were standing in a fecal swamp. Every single horse is in desperate need <strong>of</strong><br />
ho<strong>of</strong> care,” said Sandy Grambort, HSNT Equine Services. She estimates that it will take 6 - 8 months <strong>of</strong> feeding and care<br />
before they return to a healthy weight.<br />
At the custody hearing on August 26, Gordon Key voluntarily relinquished ownership <strong>of</strong> the 76 horses to the <strong>Humane</strong><br />
<strong>Society</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>North</strong> <strong>Texas</strong> in a plea agreement accepted by Justice <strong>of</strong> the Peace Joe Holland. HSNT will not seek<br />
reimbursement from Mr. Key for the thousands <strong>of</strong> dollars already spent on their care. As a condition <strong>of</strong> this agreement,<br />
he is to provide registration paperwork on all the horses which will help independent appraisers set their value, as well<br />
as provide interested adopters with their pedigree/bio.<br />
Please check our year-end newsletter for adoption results and for our special thanks to everyone who generously gave<br />
<strong>of</strong> their time, help and resources.<br />
Thanks to the Employees <strong>of</strong> Southwest Airlines who raised<br />
over $1,000 to help the animals! Five deserving dogs found<br />
new loving homes at this first SWA on-site adoption event.<br />
Highway finds<br />
a happy Home<br />
The stray, who survived for more than a year surrounded by converging<br />
freeways east <strong>of</strong> downtown Fort Worth, now makes her home with a former<br />
employee <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Humane</strong> <strong>Society</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>North</strong> <strong>Texas</strong>. Blake Travis and Jason<br />
Dougan, both veterinary technicians for HSNT, trapped and rescued the<br />
dog November 28, 2007, and brought her back to live at the shelter on East<br />
Lancaster Avenue.<br />
“She was basically feral,” Travis said. “She hadn’t had any human contact<br />
and didn’t want any.” The dog cowered in the back <strong>of</strong> her cage, fearful and<br />
withdrawn. Although she wasn’t considered “adoptable,” the two employees<br />
weren’t willing to give up on her. Eventually, she grew comfortable around<br />
other dogs and warmed to the company <strong>of</strong> her rescuers, and other visitors.<br />
Blake took her home with him in June <strong>of</strong> this year. “Now she’s jumping<br />
around, wagging her tail, happy,” said Blake Travis. The reddish shepherd<br />
mix, featured two years ago in the Star-Telegram, is one lucky dog.

NEW TAILS WITH HAPPY ENDINGS<br />
”This is Patches, one <strong>of</strong> the dogs from the puppy mill<br />
bust, and she was in bad physical shape. Even with all her<br />
physical ailments, this dog is the sweetest, most affectionate<br />
and trusting dog...” and “She is LOVING life with Judy!<br />
She goes everywhere with her - even to work sometimes!<br />
She is eating well and is flourishing in her new, loving<br />
environment! God bless Judy for taking such great care <strong>of</strong><br />
this sweet girl...”<br />
From Jenn at TX Cattle Dog Rescue<br />
“I took this picture <strong>of</strong> Sadie Joy during bath time on Monday<br />
after the seizure. On Sunday, I worried that she didn’t have<br />
the spirit to get better. How wrong could I be? Now her<br />
whole little body wiggles with joy when she sees us and she<br />
is just a snuggle bug. I gave her Joy as a middle name on<br />
purpose and she is living up to it!”<br />
Christine M.<br />
Novartis Animal Health US, Inc.<br />
“Ragout (Ragu), an Australian Cattle Dog/Blue Heeler mix, joined<br />
our family from the HSNT. She is full <strong>of</strong> energy, she is gentle, and<br />
she loves people. We truly love her.<br />
Ragout has added a level <strong>of</strong> joy and excitement in our lives – she is<br />
absolutely perfect! Thank you HSNT!”<br />
Tuula W. & Shelly S.<br />
I just wanted to send you an update on our new family<br />
member, Waffles. We have all fallen completely in love<br />
with her, and it feels like she was always here. What a well<br />
behaved little girl she is! She is eating, playing, sleeping,<br />
and going potty perfectly. From the bottom <strong>of</strong> our hearts<br />
we want to thank you for the great care you gave her while she<br />
was waiting for us. You are running a wonderful facility.<br />
Thank you so much,<br />

”I came across a sad little black and white puppy named Paco at<br />
the Lancaster St. location <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Humane</strong> <strong>Society</strong> in Fort Worth.<br />
That was it, my heart was his. He was the sweetest little boy and<br />
I adopted him right then and there. He has since been renamed<br />
Bandit. Along with all the love he has provided plenty <strong>of</strong> humor<br />
over the last four years... Bandit has been one <strong>of</strong> the best decisions<br />
that I’ve ever made. The picture is <strong>of</strong> Bandit and Bongo (who I<br />
adopted from the same <strong>Humane</strong> <strong>Society</strong> 17 years ago.)”<br />
Joanne G.<br />
“Bella wasn’t at HSNT for long before she got sick and had to<br />
be quarantined at the shelter for awhile. Her fear and insecurity<br />
made her a bad risk for adoption. It did not take long for her to<br />
gain the confidence she needed while in foster care Please keep<br />
the foster program going strong, I have 5 dogs that are wonderful<br />
and all 5 would not have made it out <strong>of</strong> the shelter if it were not<br />
for a foster program.”<br />
Dick & Suzanne B.<br />
“We rescued Skipper when he was about 6 weeks old. HSNT has<br />
helped us so much with his medical care. They had to amputate<br />
his leg to his shoulder. ... He bounced back very quickly and was<br />
running around like nothing had happened after about 48 hours. ...<br />
Skipper is full <strong>of</strong> energy and love. He is a good boy and we love him<br />
very much. He is a part <strong>of</strong> our family now. I’m glad we took him<br />
out <strong>of</strong> a bad situation, and can give him a loving home the rest <strong>of</strong> his life. I would like<br />
to ask everyone to spay and neuter their pets, and to please adopt a homeless animal...<br />
They will give you so much love.”<br />
F. & P. Brosch<br />
This is Mike E. from the Eli Young Band, who adopted this sweet<br />
puppy from the Heddins puppy mill seizure.<br />
“Hi all at HSNT,<br />
I just wanted to send you an update on our new<br />
fallen completely in love with her, and it feels l<br />
behaved little girl she is! She is eating, playin<br />

EXTREME MAKEOVER GOES TO THE DOGS<br />
The Extreme Mustang Makeover management, working in partnership<br />
with the <strong>Humane</strong> <strong>Society</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>North</strong> <strong>Texas</strong>, produced the 1st Extreme Mutt<br />
Makeover as part <strong>of</strong> their event at the Will Rogers Memorial Center on<br />
September 18-20, 2009.<br />
The crowd that day saw the first-ever champion named - a black lab mix<br />
named Tess, and her trainer Karen Deeds. As she accepted her award<br />
and $500 prize, a tearful Deeds told the story <strong>of</strong> who would be taking<br />
the big-hearted Tess home. "He came up to me and said that after losing<br />
his wife he was looking for his soul mate, and I said, 'So is she.”<br />
After their performances, all <strong>of</strong> the dogs from the <strong>Humane</strong> <strong>Society</strong> <strong>of</strong><br />
<strong>North</strong> <strong>Texas</strong> that participated in the event were adopted.<br />
