We have had snakes, lizards, birds, goats, and pigs brought in with many different reasons behind the surrender of these animals, or the bringing in of strays. We also are a source for helping our local animal community, and the ones who love those animals. Just the other day, we took in a rooster which had been discovered loose, and, since roosters cannot be owned inside the city limits in Newton, Kansas, we had to place him in a good farm home. We also had reports of a found pig, and a lost pig. We connected those people reporting these together. Unfortunately, not the same pig. We had the usual dogs and cats, but those were ranging from Chihuahuas to German Shepherds, Basenjis, Jack Russells, and all sorts of Tabbys, Shorthairs, Russian Blues, etc. We are always trying to do the best we can for the animals and for those who love them, and those who, with their animals, do good things for the community. Such an opportunity presented itself the other day, with Linda Wagner with Lil bits of Love, bringing in Bucky, her miniature horse, (who she is certifying as a therapy horse), for a bath to get him all prepared for some service work.

3 Bruno s Tips For Spring. With the longer days and great temperatures, more time with us is just what we want, but there are also some concerns. Heartworm and Flea and Tick preventative is a really good idea!! With the mild Winter we have had, this might be an even greater need. Temperatures in the 70s and sunshine will start to bring mosquitoes, fleas and ticks out and this can become a real problem if not taken care of. Once you notice a problem, it s a little late. Take precautions seriously. Don t overdo it! If you are trying to make up for months of inactivity, and drag me along with you, think again! Both of us are out of shape, and someone could get hurt! Activity is good, but do it in moderation. Don t try to run 5 miles with me, or hike the Oregon Trail. Get the right gear. If we are gonna be active, there are portable water bowls, harnesses, back packs, dog booties, and other equipment that can make new activities not only more doable, but more enjoyable. Spring clean carefully. Some of the fertilizers, paint, antifreeze, chemicals, etc. that are in your garage you have not been in all Winter can be toxic. If you are cleaning out and getting rid of this stuff, don t leave it out for me. Help us, and Caring Hands out. Spring is a busy time for Caring Hands. Longer days and fair weather tend to lead to more puppies and kittens coming in to Caring Hands. If you can donate volunteer time, or supplies to help take care of these young ones, that would be very helpful. Also, with yard projects, and the like, sometimes the gates are left open, and your dog or cat gets loose. A little foresight can make all of this much better. This can be an enjoyable time of year. A little planning can make all the difference. Continued from Page 1 Our volunteers really enjoyed being able to help with this wonderful, good-natured, gentle horse, and we think Bucky enjoyed the attention as well. We know the people looking at animals here enjoyed it as well, and kids, and adults as well had a great time interacting with this fine animal. We had seen Bucky before at a charity event, where One of our dogs rode on his back in a real dog and pony show, and it was great to see him, and Linda again. Now Bucky is all prettied up. The rooster is in a home outside the city limits. Dogs and cats are finding adopted. Now, if we can just help those pigs. Knudsen, Monroe & Company, L.L.C.

4 Volunteer Corner Just a Reminder Just a reminder to our volunteers that we run the monthly dog wash on the first Saturday of every month and are always needing volunteers to come in and help. The dog wash starts at 9am and will run till 2pm. The April dog wash will be held on the second Saturday April 8th 9am-2pm because Caring Hands Humane Society will be attending the Kid Fest at Sunset School here in Newton on April 1st from 9am-11:30am. If you are available and would like to help us on the dog wash please get with me (Quette Q ) the Outreach Coordinator so we can get you signed up! This is a monthly event and I encourage all volunteers to sign up and help at one of the dog washes.

Quette Graves, Outreach Coordinator, 6. Ivy T 7. Cora O 8. Becky B Girl Scouts I had the privilege of meeting with Caylee J and Cloe L, with the Girl Scout troop # These two girls both age 11 years are actively working on a project to help the animals here at Caring Hands Humane Society. Caylee and Cloe both have some really good ideas to help raise funding for the animals and possibly having some kind of a carnival to kick off their ideas. Caylee and Cloe are both hoping to have more information on this project to me in the near future as the girls are working to achieve their Silver award for this project. We look forward to working on this project with Caylee and Cloe. Thank you both so much for thinking of us and the animals. I will hopefully have more information on this project by our next newsletter.

5 Apply online at Why Volunteer at Caring Hands? By Themis If you re reading this, you are probably a human, but you might be a crow, I guess. I am a dog. In the real world, I don t have a name, I have a smell. But in your world (assuming you are a human, not a crow), some people call me Themis. Once I overheard one of you bipeds chuckle and remark that that was a good name for a dog in a no-kill animal shelter. I don t know what it means, but I guess you can look it up on that flat square thing you people carry around everywhere. Come on in and we ll hang out for a while. If I m not here, one of my pards will hang with you. How I ended up here is kind of a long story, but the abridged version is the following: My siblings and I were born last spring in a culvert on a farm east of town. One night there was a big storm lightning and thunder and a lot of rain and, as scared-to-bejeebers as we all were, our mother somehow got us into a barn with some hay. We weren t in there originally, because the farm dogs chased our mom away when she was looking for a place to have her family. There s probably more to it than that, but a couple days later, after we were dry and warm, our mom left and never came back. We (there were five of us) were already chasing bugs around and wrestling with each other, so it s not like our eyes weren t even open. But after a while we did get hungry, scared, started crying, and then cautiously venturing out beyond our hideaway nest. Pretty soon, a boy and a girl came in the barn looking for whatever was crying, and they found us. We were scared when they showed up, but they made us feel safe when they picked us up, hugged us, and took us to their house for some warm milk. They were very comforting after our big loss. Anyway, they kept us in their basement for a few weeks, to keep us safe from the big farm dogs, and then their mom took us all to Caring Hands Humane Society, telling the boy and girl that the people there would be sure we went to good homes. That was another new adjustment for us, because we really hadn t been around other dogs. But everyone there was so friendly, it was only a couple days before we realized that we were safe again. Whew! Life can be scary sometimes. There are a lot of people, of all ages, who seem to like to come in and socialize with us. They take us for walks, throw balls and other toys for us to chase, feed us treats, pet us and scratch us underneath our collars, check us out for medical problems, and so on, until someone comes in who just can t live without us and takes us to their home. All in all, it s a pretty good gig. I know these people crave affection, just like us, and I m glad to help out. Yeah, I know, I get something out of it, too, but you bipeds can be a pretty strange lot, creating a lot of unnecessary stress for yourselves (and for us, too, sometimes!), so I m glad to hang out and help you decompress. After all, we re all in this together, huh? Come on in and we ll hang out for a while. If I m not here, one of my pards will hang with you. Slobbers 4 U, Themis PS Thanks to Steve What a Guy Johnson, one of the people I help out at Caring Hands, for translating my story into human lyric. 5

WARMER WEATHER MAY LEAD TO HEALTH CONCERNS Heat stroke is a common problem pets face. The inside of a car can quickly reach 120 degrees. Animals should not be left in the car, even during short trips. The signs of heat stroke include: Heavy panting and being unable to calm down. The pet s gums may be brick red, they may have a fast pulse rate, or they may not be able to get up. Take the pet s temperature rectally. If the temperature is above 105 degrees Fahrenheit, cool the animal down. The easiest way to do this is by using the water hose. Stop cooling the animal when the temperature reaches 103 degrees. Heat stroke can lead to severe organ dysfunction and damage. Also, open doors and windows can lead to your pet escaping or falling out of an open window. PET FIRST AID Courses are available on how to care for your pet. Performing 8 CPR and preparing for disasters might come into play in addition to standard medications. HOW TO KEEP YOUR PET HEALTHY Give pets plenty of exercise. Make sure they have plenty of fresh, cool water. Make sure they get regular yearly checkups with their veterinarian, and are up to date on vaccines, especially rabies. Get pets spayed or neutered. Keep dogs on leashes outside For their safety, as well as others. Know how to perform CPR and provide basic first aid until veterinary care is available EMERGENCIES AND YOUR PET Don t forget to include pets in planning for emergencies in your home or neighborhood. Make plans to take your pets with you if you have to evacuate. Some shelter facilities cannot accept pets. Pets may have certain individual needs, medicines, etc. Assemble an easy-to-carry kit with emergency supplies for Caring Hands Humane Society I 1400 SE 3rd ST I Newton, KS pets: Leashes, harnesses and/or carriers. Food, drinking water, bowls, manual can opener. As mentioned, medications and copies of medical records. Current photos of the pets. Certainly, you may not be able to gather all of this in an emergency, so it helps to have it organized before you need it. Pet First Aid Awareness Month is a great time for people to learn how to protect their pet and keep them healthy. With the recent fires, the concerns pet owners may face to take care of their four-legged companions becomes even more pertinent. Spaying/neutering and medications are normally considered basic pet parent duties.

9 What about Microchipping? Microchipping Many loved family pets end up in animal shelters. Some end up here at Caring Hands Humane Society. Shelters do their best to locate owners, but often cannot find the owner because the pet has no form of identification. Microchipping is a technology that is virtually painless for your pet and creates a permanent method of identification. A small computer microchip is embedded under your pet s skin, usually between the their shoulder blades. The chip contains a unique ID number that identifies your pet and is a permanently record. Caring Hands A small computer microchip is embedded under your pet s skin, usually between the their shoulder blades. recommends microchipping for all dogs and cats and all dogs and cats adopted from Caring Hands will be microchipped. Having a microchip does not mean your pet shouldn t also wear an ID and license tag; lost pets that have all these forms of ID and a microchip have the greatest chance of being returned to their loving homes and families. There are cases of pets being returned to their families many miles away, and months after going missing, all due to this technology. But, to make this effective, the correct information has to be available. That is the owner s responsibility. If you move, change your information, or if the animal goes to another home, the information needs to be updated. How re Microchips Inserted? The chip is very small, comparable to the size of a grain of rice. It fits into a veterinarians hypodermic needle and is injected, just like a vaccine, under the skin of your pet, where it remains for the duration of their life. The microchip might shift, but we can scan here at CHHS, and find the chip to identify the animal. Other locations have that technology too, but it is useless if the information is incorrect, or missing. How Does The Microchip Work? A special scanner reads the microchip number, which is then called in to a data bank that has your contact information. That is where you come in. You give the information to the chip company, who keeps the information to give to those who might scan your pet, to locate you. It is important to keep your contact information current. What Types Of Pets Can Be Chipped? Microchipping is safe for all types of pets including dogs, cats, horses, birds, reptiles and exotic pets.

10 Keep Your Cats (and Dogs) Safe this Spring Bright sunny days mean that people and their pets are out and about enjoying the weather. We tend to see more cat fights, dog bites, allergic reactions and occasionally cases of heat stroke. We ve drawn up a list of some of the main hazards to look out for. 1. Plants & flowers Cats love spending time in the garden. Make sure that your garden is safe for your cat and be careful if you need to use any pellets, pesticides or other chemicals. Watch out for poisonous plants. Species common at this time of year include lilies (including daffodils), spring bulbs and azaleas. If you notice any signs of poisoning such as excessive salivation/dribbling, vomiting, diarrhoea, appearing drunk or even collapsing, contact your vet immediately. 2. Permethrin (insecticides) Permethrin is an insecticide commonly found in many over the counter spot-on flea treatments for dogs. It is very toxic to cats Cats are most commonly poisoned after their owners mistakenly use a dog product on the cat, but they can also show mild signs after close contact with a recently treated dog. Contact your vet immediately if you think your cat has been poisoned by Remember to Sign Up for Dillons Community Rewards! insecticides. Cats that receive immediate treatment and survive usually suffer no long-term effects. Read more about common poisons in cats. 3. Slug and snail pellets (Metaldehyde) The toxic compound is metaldehyde (not all slug pellets contain metaldehyde) and only small amounts of pellets can cause significant poisoning. Signs will be seen within an hour of ingestion and include incoordination, muscle spasms, twitching, tremors and seizures. Urgent veterinary treatment is needed. 4. Parties Remember that party food is not for pets, Dog or cat. Kebab skewers, alcohol and bones are particularly dangerous BBQ hazards. 5. Insect stings Cats often like to chase and play with wasps and bees and can be stung. Most cases of wasp or bee stings are not emergencies. With a bee sting, check and remove the sting if it is still in place, then bathe the area in bicarbonate of soda (one teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda to 300ml warm water). With wasp stings bathe the area with malt vinegar or lemon juice. 10
