1 The Many Faces of Rescue Annual Report 2015
2 THE SHELTER CONNECTION OUR MISSION STATEMENT Established in 1999, The Shelter Connection is a 501 c3 volunteer organization at the Town of North Hempstead Animal Shelter. Our mission, in partnership with the Town, is to improve the quality of life for the dogs at the shelter and increase adoptions through training and socialization. A secondary mission is public education to shift the public perception about shelters and dispel the myth that shelter dogs are damaged goods. Board of Directors Robert Slifkin MD President Jeff Rosen Treasurer Marianne Sikora Secretary Rosanne Palumbo Wellmaker Director of Training Regina Lagrasta Volunteer Coordinator Denise Waters Special Events Coordinator Newsletter Editor Paula Hornak Kellner Education and Public Awareness Coordinator Advisory Board Sue Hassett Former Asst. Director, North Hempstead Animal Shelter Erik Tallbe, CPA Accountant Chantelle DiLorenzo Attorney
3 What We Do and Why We Do It The Shelter Connection is so much more than adoption advisors and dog handlers. We are active in our community, keeping the dogs and our mission in the public spotlight. This is how we are able to raise funds and awareness. Without constant active involvement in the community, we fade into obscurity. If we become a forgotten entity, our dogs don t get adopted, and we are not able to fund the many progressive shelter improvements that enrich what would otherwise be an institutional life, a true dog pound. Please.be a TEAM player. Attend our functions, sign up for outside events; spread the word spread the love! A Brief History of The Shelter Connection The Shelter Connection was established in 1999 by a group of dedicated volunteers determined to improve the lives of the homeless dogs in our Shelter. An active Board of Directors worked tirelessly to reach the high standards set for their organization. The first set of volunteer training classes gave us educated Meeter/Greeters and Dog Walkers which soon progressed to knowledgeable Adoption Advisors and Dog Handlers. They created the "White Books' which provide helpful information on the dogs in our care to help with adoptions. Shelter improvements began to take shape with the cooperation of the Town Administration Fenced in exercise area 2003 Agility equipment added to exercise area / Garage mural painted 2004 Website - we go online for the first time / Real Life Room completed 2005 Playthings for Pups- yearly toy drive 2006 THE TRAIL - built completely by volunteers - Roc Waters Trail Master 2010 Exam Room / Nursery - Redesigned including new floors 2011 The Progressive Pit program - 98 Pit Bulls adopted to date 2012 Remembrance Patio built 2014 Side play yard New Kennels - supported The Shelter Connection has also sponsored numerous events including: Open Houses, Meet the Breed Days, PAWS for Golf, Puppy Reunions, Kids Safety Days, National Night Outs, Trail Days, Garage Sales, Health and training lectures and countless community education programs.
4 Activities in the Spotlight: FUN DRAISERS AND FRIEND RAISERS These events are our lifeline to funding the quality of life improvements we make for our dogs, and provide an opportunity to get to know fellow TSC volunteers. They help our image and help our organization. YOU can make more adoptions possible by participating, showcasing our dogs, our outstanding shelter programs, and raising needed funds. These are opportunities to do good for the dogs and have a terrific time meeting people. We need people to manage events and help man tables with set ups and clean ups. We need you to educate the public. Halloween Pet Parade Manorhaven Street Fair Rabies Clinics National Night Out Puppy Reunions Garage Sale Vince. & Champions for Charity Kids Safety Day
5 Pure Breed Rescue Day Pure Breed Rescue Groups were invited to our shelter to meet the public and educate people about their specific breeds. Here are some of their comments about our shelter: It was good for my heart and soul to know that there are shelters like yours out there It was great to see such a progressive animal shelter. You have a lot to be proud of. Initiatives and Shelter Improvements RESCUE OUTREACH The Shelter Connection is always looking for new ways to save animals so, in 2005, with the support of the shelter and the Town Board of North Hempstead, we offered to sponsor dogs from overcrowded open admission shelters. As shelters go we are very lucky because most our dogs seem to fly out doors. It has been over 15 years since we had to euthanize an animal because we ran out of room! This is not the case in many shelters across the United States. As of February 2015 the number of dogs rescued is over 600 (the cover picture shows 81 of them). These dogs are wonderful, adoptable pets. Their only crime is that they ran out of time. We sponsor the old, the sick and those whose time has just run out. The Shelter Connection takes on all of the financial responsibility for the dogs that we sponsor, including medical expenses. So as not to overwhelm the shelter s capabilities, we only sponsor dogs when the shelter has lots and lots of room. We would like to acknowledge all of our loyal supporters. Thanks to your kindness more than 600 dogs like Blue (left) and Daisy (right) have been or will be given a second chance at life and love.
6 SHELTER IMPROVEMENTS Shelter mural by Tom Forgione The most ambitious achievements of our group are demanding of time and money. Mend-a-Paw literally saves lives and vastly improves adoption prospects. We pay for medical costs that the Town would not. It s an expensive program made possible in large part by our fundraising efforts. With hand painted murals and specially treated floors, the garage became a spacious indoor playground for our dogs to blow off steam and train. Fencing and agility equipment created an outdoor play/training area in what had been asphalt parking space. A storage room was transformed into a warm home-like setting for our dogs, The Real Life Room. Our crown jewel is the nature trail. Carved from an overgrown, trash strewn piece of Town property, this scentillating walk-in-the wood for our shelter dogs took weeks of hard labor by a small group of volunteers and staff, and was financially supported by generous donations by individuals as well as our fundraising efforts. The trail needs constant maintenance. We need your help whenever you can spare a bit of time to pull weeds, spread wood chips, and keep it clean. Creating the nature trail then enjoying it with the dogs Indoor and outdoor playgrounds for training and fun
7 THE PIT CREW AND LIFE SKILLS PROGRAMS Faced with a growing population of pit bull terriers in our shelter, a small group of our dog handlers developed The Progressive Pit program. Being in existence for several years now, we see that the constant benign exposure to other dogs for the fearful and/or reactive Pit has paid off with most of the dogs now able to train, play and just exist in the company of other dogs. The Pit Crew led by King We now take our "show on the road", bringing the dogs out in the real world, to generalize their good behavior into real life settings. So, they learn to ride in the car with good car manners, to walk down the street with cars and people and dogs, and they get exposed to many other normal life experiences. All these life enhancing skills On the Road at Sands Point Preserve only serve to ensure that our dogs will meld easily into a real home. Every new idea we try to expand our program teaches us something new about ourselves, our techniques and mostly, our dogs. The best part of it all is that dogs always surprise us...in a good way. Stay tuned as we are always on the move to improve! Riding in a car a life skill Two of our shelter pits romp together in a playgroup Rollie and Ozzie have a day out by the sea
8 HUMANE EDUCATION PROGRAMS AND SERVICE LEARNING Playthings for Pets holiday toys and treats drive a service learning project Children are one third of our population and all of our future. An early mandate for TSC by our shelter director was to expand the shelter s youth outreach programs. In the past several years our humane education programs have grown with exciting and diverse projects. The staff and volunteers have developed presentations for Scout, school & summer camp groups, teaching dog bite safety and responsible pet ownership while educating young people that shelters are a safe place, a place of hope. The annual Playthings for Pets Holiday Toys and Treats Drive is an example of extending our education programs to include a service project that benefits shelter dogs while giving young people a sense of pride in their ability to make a meaningful contribution to society. Our participation in the Operation Outreach National Humane Education Literacy Program brought us to classrooms with an at risk student population. We used the picture book Buddy Unchained to help these children relate to pets as living, feeling beings. By meeting the NY State Education Standards for Health Education and Service Learning, teachers have embraced our programs in their classrooms. What have we accomplished? Tomorrow s adults will have a better understanding of the responsibilities of pet ownership, sensitivity to our pets view of the world around them and an appreciation of what animals do for people.
9 MORE WAYS YOU CAN BE INVOLVED Your time and effort has enabled our Town shelter to give a better quality of life to homeless dogs so important to their wellbeing while waiting for a forever home. It takes a team effort to bring the amenities and progressive training methods to our shelter it takes continuing commitment to keep them going and growing. Our Newsletter is a major source of public awareness and fundraising. Writing descriptive entries, richly illustrated, for Petfinder.com and Adopt-a-Pet.com make our dogs more appealing. Local newspaper stories give our dogs more public exposure providing them with a better chance of adoption while further dispelling the myth of shelter dogs as damaged goods. Social media has become a major source of publicity for our dogs, our shelter and our organization. We encourage your involvement with these activities and ideas for new ways to help.
