1 In Tough Economic Times Ingham County Animal Control Stands Tough for Homeless Animals Jack, a beautiful 140lb. White German Shepherd, who spent his entire 6 years of life with his human family was brought to the shelter one warm summer afternoon. His owner had to make the painful decision to give him up. We hear stories on a daily basis of people who no longer can make ends meet, have no choice but to move into more affordable housing that does not allow pets, or have had serious health problems leaving them no choice but to let go of their beloved animal companion. Thankfully for Jack, Ingham County Animal Shelter does not turn any Ingham County pet away, and he was given a chance for a new beginning. It wasn t easy. The sights and sounds of the shelter were very frightening for him. Due to his extra large size and his depression, it was determined that he needed a foster home immediately. Jack went into foster care where he began to trust again while he waited for his new home. The shelter staff and volunteers put a tremendous amount of effort in finding homes that are suitable for the individual needs of each pet and sometimes it can take a long time. Jack found his way to a family where he has another canine brother, daily walks, and most importantly, an endless supply of love. Because the shelter staff takes the time to explore each person s circumstances prior to relinquishing their pet, sometimes people are referred to support programs to assist with temporary housing problems, specialized rescue groups or sanctuaries. Local Humane Societies may also take in homeless pets if they have space. Thanks to all the people working hard to find each homeless Ingham County Pet a forever home, many like Jack find just that. CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!! The 2008 National Animal Control Officer of the Year awarded by the N a t i o n a l A n i m a l C o n t r o l Association goes to Ingham County s Deputy Yvonne Gaines.

2 FOSTERING RELATIONSHIPS Any one who attends our award banquets has seen and heard, Wanda Kester, the Master of Ceremony and heard her hilarious stories about shelter life. What many may not know, is that after the laughing, Wanda and her daughter Sydney consistently rescue the most impaired, depressed and physically disabled homeless animals at the shelter. You ll never hear, What s wrong with that one? People are horrible. What you do hear from Wanda, is I ll take that one home to foster. Oh, they came together? We ll take both. So far, every one of her special needs foster pets have found homes whether it took 6 days or 6 months. Jasmin, a beautiful chestnut lab mix was rescued by the Ingham County Animal Cops after being found pregnant and blind among dozens of other pets in a home. After giving birth and weaning her puppies, her chances of finding a home were slim. Wanda saw what a horrible life Jasmin had and took her into foster care. Mandy, was also rescued by the Ingham County Animal Cops after being found clinging to her owner who had passed away at his home. It was soon discovered that Mandy was special. She only had three legs. Mandy was spotted by Wanda and brought home to foster care. Wanda carried Mandy up and down the stairs and even took her on errands so Mandy could have outings. Wanda and Sydney have fostered over 25 special needs fosterlings and each one knew what it was like to have Wanda a home and and love.

3 2008 ADOPTATHON IT S TIME TO MOVE FORWARD Over the past 4 years, barely a day goes by where a visitor doesn t comment on the tremendous improvements seen in the cleanliness and customer service at the shelter. The staff and volunteers make heroic efforts to care for the animals and find adoptive homes, but the building over the past 37 years has taken a brutal toll and many adopters understandably don t want to spend time in the building where the animals are kenneled. Our current facility was built when the purpose of the dog pound was to merely protect the public from rabies and control stray animals. Due to changes in legislation and changing community values our work to serve the community has broadened. Additionally, because the current building is old, many of the systems are inefficient and frequently break down resulting in very high maintenance and operation costs. Thanks to the generous support of Richard Thompson, Founder of Zootoo House who donated $6000 toward the cost of the study to be conducted by national shelter designer "Shelter Planners of America" an assessment has been completed and indeed verified that the current facility built in 1971 is not suitable for remodeling. A CAPITAL CAMPAIGN COMMITTEE will be forming and we're looking for members who are interested in fundraising for the new shelter. Contributors to the campaign will leave a legacy of kindness and compassion that represents the very best of our community. Please contact Jamie McAloon Lampman at or jmcaloon@ingham.org Newsletter 3

It s easy as Every year, over a thousand cats and kittens end up at our shelter. There are 4 simple actions every cat owner can take to stop the needless suffering and euthanasia of these beautiful animals. Keeping cats indoors will result in longer and healthier lives. Ensuring your cat has identification in the form of an ID tag or Microchip will allow you to be easily reunited with your cat should it end up at the shelter. SPAYING or NEUTERING your cat ensures it does not contribute to the cat over-population crisis, contributes to cats being more sociable, decreases horrible male spraying, and reduces health care costs over the lifetime of your pet.

6 HUMANITARIAN AWARDS WHO SAYS OLD DOGS ARE HARD TO PLACE? By Jamie McAloon-Lampman, Director of Ingham County Animal Control Leona came in as a mere rack of bones, scaly skin, depressed as she pretty much had given up on life. When I first saw her in the kennels, I could see her muzzle had whitened with age, and her physical condition told the sad story of a dog who had given birth and raised multiple litters of puppies. And now, here she was an old geriatric dog that had signs that she had given birth to yet another litter very recently. I loaded her in my car and snuck her in the back door before my husband came home. She quickly settled into a comforter placed next to the desk and never made a peep. It wasn't until bedtime that my husband noticed her as she quickly fell in line with our brood of three labs going out for their late night potty break--he looked twice and then shot me a frown and said "who's that, what's that and how long is it going to be here?" She captured his heart as she did mine and I promised she was a short-termer-- and sure enough after a few days we knew enough about her sweet personality to describe her loving nature with her picture on the shelter s web site listing available pets. We soon got a call from a young lady in Manistee, in Northern MIchigan. After a meet-n-greet her new family drove back to Manistee with Leona in the back seat knowing she was finally going home. The older dogs are my favorite to foster as they appreciate the love of a family and are often already housebroken and well mannered. They are genuinely grateful for the kind touch of a hand and the soft spoken accolades we shower them with. If you want to experience true happiness then foster a deserving older dog from the animal shelter and watch them flourish with love and finds their happily ever after.
