Volume 44, Number 2Summer 2013

Since we launched Project Humane in February 2011, we have been counting the days until we could move into our new Adoption & Administration Center. Its completion marks the first installment in our master plan developed with Animal Arts, LLC of Boulder, Colorado to construct superior housing and facilities at our 615 Virginia Street campus.

With every tile that is set, every door hung, and every wall painted, we are closer to that day. Our construction crews are working diligently to be ready for our Grand Opening over Father’s Day weekend, June 15–16. We are eager to welcome our supporters and adopters to see our beautiful new adoption lobby, our adoptable dogs in their own private and well-appointed suites, and to show off our new multi-use Education/Outreach Room that will allow us to provide an ongoing offering of classes for pets and people in our community.

While our grand opening will celebrate our new big blue building, the real stars will be our adoptable pets. But don’t tell that to Orbit, Sandy the Lab, Lobo Louie or Lobo Lucy. All will be making appearances over the weekend to help us usher in this new era at Animal Humane New Mexico. Not to be upstaged by these popular icons, Albuquerque Mayor Richard J. Berry and representatives from the PETCO Foundation will join us for a ribbon cutting at 10 am on Saturday June 15th. We will be providing behind the scenes campus tours throughout the day on both Saturday and Sunday, as well as giving previews of the additional phases of Project Humane. Music and food trucks will keep everyone well fed and entertained throughout the weekend.

Our grand opening will also allow us to thank and honor all of our amazing donors who have supported Project Humane to date, including those who have invested in Naming Opportunities in the first new building of our campus renovations. Their names will be proudly displayed on the rooms or areas they chose to fund. From Real Life Dog Rooms named in honor or memory of loved ones to gifts funding our Education/Outreach Room, every dollar donated to date made our new building possible. We are very grateful to our Adoption & Administration Center corporate donors including the PETCO Foundation for funding our Adoptions Lobby, to our friends at Canine Country Club, Enchantment Pet Resort, Klinger Constructors LLC, Long Leash on Life, and Petroglyph Animal Hospital.

Our new facility will help us find new families for the homeless pets that come to us for a second chance. With over 140 adoptable pets available daily from Albuquerque and shelters across the state, our goal is to find the Perfect Pet for each adopter, so every

UPDATE

pet admissions by appointment—it’s working!In mid-March, Animal Humane took another major step in our ongoing progression

to save more lives in our State by implementing Pet Admissions by Appointment. From the start, our results have been very promising. A primary goal of Pet Admissions By Appointment was to encourage owners to take responsibility for re-homing their pets when they could no longer keep them, rather than automatically bringing them to a shelter. With the introduction of appointments, we begin our relationship with owners by counseling them and offering re-homing resources from the very first phone call. Now bringing their pet to the shelter is the last resort and not the first option. Pet owners have been very supportive of the change because they are grateful we are taking the time to address their pets' needs. Customer satisfaction has increased because the entire process is smoother and the wait times are much shorter for all, including the good samaritans who are bringing in strays.

The numbers speak for themselves. During the first month of our new policy, admissions of owned pets are down 20% from the same period last year. Only 4% of the pets admitted during this period have been walk-ins, and we have been able to accommodate each one. Also, the City’s Animal Welfare Department (AWD) has not experienced an increase in intakes during this period, so as we predicted, our new process has not had a negative impact on other shelters.

In the first 30 days, close to 317 appointments were made. While there have been a number of cancellations, they are for good reasons: 35% cancelled because the owner found a new home for their pet, 18% decided to keep their pet, including people who have received advice on solving manners and socialization issues from our FREE Behavior Helpline.

Another goal of Pet Admissions by Appointment was to increase Project Fetch transfers from other New Mexico shelters to our Virginia Street campus. Because owner surrenders have dropped so significantly, in one week we were able to save 30 dogs from the euthanasia lists at the City of Socorro and the Valencia County Animal Shelters, as well as nine pets from our City’s AWD. Hence, we are achieving the results we expected and saving more lives in our community and throughout New Mexico!

cats recovering from URIOne of the more frequently encountered diseases in animal

shelters is Upper Respiratory Infections (URI) in feline residents. What is commonly referred to as URI actually includes a wide variety of illnesses that can occur alone, or in combination. All shelters face this issue; even the most conscientiously run shelters suffer occasional outbreaks. And those like Animal Humane, that do not euthanize for space or length of stay, are challenged to maintain a healthy feline population. Subsequently, we carefully evaluate measures to minimize the impact of URI on our feline residents, and treat each of our cats facing URI so they do not require intensive care, are able to recover quickly.

URI is not a life threatening illness, the symptoms cats experience are quite similar to the human cold. Symptoms can include sneezing, runny eyes, fever, coughing, nasal discharge, and a loss of appetite due to their reduced sense of smell and congestion. Think about how you might like to be cared for when you are battling a tough cold or cough; we believe our feline friends deserve the same loving attention and care.

Last year we began placing adult cats with URI in foster homes to give them the time and individualized care they needed to recover. In 2012 alone, we treated over 250 felines for URI, 90 of those recovered in loving foster homes. With tender care, rest, reduced stress, and quiet comfortable conditions, cats and kittens have the opportunity to heal before returning to Animal Humane to be adopted into new homes.Caring for a cat or kitten recovering from URI may seem like a daunting task, especially if you already have pets in your home. However, all you need is a space to keep them separate from your own pets (in a guest room or guest bathroom), a separate set of clothes to wear when interacting with your feline patient (to prevent transferring the illness to other pets in your home), and some dedicated time for feeding and love. Our feline URI foster parents have found a variety of creative ways to nurture these deserving cats, while still keeping their own pets safe. From wearing smocks and old t-shirts for safe cuddling, to mixing warm chicken broth with wet cat food to encourage eating—they go out of their way to provide tender care. Through treatment and kind attention, most URI cats will recover within two weeks, after which they return to Animal Humane as healthy, loved, and happy felines for their potential new family.

May is national foster parent appreciation monthWhat does it take to run a successful Foster Care program? For starters, it takes hundreds of dedicated, passionate volunteers. In 2012 alone, over 250 families provided thoughtful tender care to 1,149 infant and needy adult pets through our Foster Care program. Each of these families took the time to provide extensive love, care, and support to infant and adult pets to prepare them for adoption. It is with the help of our foster families that we are able to save more lives and maintain, and improve upon, our amazing 90% save rate. From bottle babies to felines suffering from Upper Respiratory Infections, from frightened backyard dogs to recent amputees; our comprehensive program, run primarily by

volunteers and donations, is a critical component of our Circle of Care.Our foster families are given the supplies they’ll need to nurture the

pets in their care. From food and training pads, to toys and exercise pens; we make it easy for our volunteers to share a little space in their home and hearts with these deserving pets. Most of the supplies given to our foster families are donated by compassionate pet lovers, like you. We asked Boni Galarneau, Foster Care/Rescue Coordinator, to estimate what a month's worth of supplies tallies to, and were astounded at the results!

• 1,100 towels• 1,000 puppy pads• 12-15 40 lb. bags of dry puppy & kitten food• 960 cans of wet kitten food• 1,000 lbs. of clay cat litter• 40 packages of baby wipes• 12 gallons of Clorox bleach• 4 gallons of Mr. Clean• 10 containers of Clorox disinfecting wipesFoster homes also use a great deal of evaporated cow & goat milk,

Knox gelatin, vanilla yogurt, mayonnaise, eggs, and clear corn syrup to make a concoction called “GLOOP,” a life-sustaining formula bottle fed to puppies and kittens. Last year alone, we went through roughly 20 cases of evaporated milk to create this nutritious mixture for all the infant puppies and kittens that arrived at our shelter without a momma.

For all of their support, and so much more, we tip our hats to our devoted foster families, volunteers, and donors that make our wonderful foster program possible. We treasure their kindness and passion for the pets in our care, and couldn’t do our dedicated work without their support. Thank you!

making a difference Each pet resident that comes through Animal Humane’s doors blossoms from the TLC,

exercise, training and grooming provided by our volunteers. Volunteers contribute invaluable support to our team. In 2012 alone, our pool of 425+ volunteers contributed an astonishing 15,145 volunteer hours, working in every department of our organization. These hours not only went toward bettering the lives of the pet residents that came into our shelter, but also to engage our community for a brighter future for New Mexico pets.

We recognize one volunteer annually for their dedication to our life-saving work as our Volunteer of the Year. This person is one who goes above and beyond on behalf of the pets and staff of Animal Humane. She volunteers in Animal Care, Human Resources, Finance, Adoptions, Foster Care, Volunteer Services, on our Volunteer Leadership Council, and she is the volunteer schedule coordinator for our Clinic and Cattery.

These are just some of the reasons why the 2012 Volunteer of the Year is Cindy Yenson. Cindy began volunteering at Animal Humane in 2010, after resigning from Wells Fargo Bank. Cindy says that her favorite part of what she does here is “coming in at 7:30 am and being greeted by our resident cats in our Cattery. I enjoy knowing they need me to clean up their messes, give them a good meal, and lots of loving.” When she is not at Animal Humane hugging every pet that comes through our doors, Cindy is traveling with her husband Terry to places with warm beaches and good snorkeling. Maui is their favorite. They also enjoy sharing their life and home with their perfect pets: dogs Polly and Pita, and cats Curly and Moe…all adopted, of course.

Cindy says that what motivates her to volunteer here is “Knowing that whatever I do helps the lives of our residents, but also helps the staff do what they do best. If you would like to volunteer for a non-profit, meet new four-legged and two-legged friends, this is the place. This is the most gratifying thing I have done in my life. You can make a difference!”

love on three wheels PJ Thompson met Cali four years ago at an Animal Humane mobile

adoptions event. She wasn’t sure if she was ready for a feisty six-week-old kitten, but she was smitten by Cali’s beautiful face and soft purrs. When raising Cali, PJ was very careful to never tease or reprimand her with hand motions, and immediately put Cali in a harness so she could take her on walks and visits with friends. Mobility and socialization are important to PJ, as she lives in an apartment in the La Vida Llena Retirement community in Northeast Albuquerque, and keeps herself busy with many friends and activities.

PJ uses a Pride Legend scooter to cruise around her community, and Cali quickly learned that her calm loving demeanor would be rewarded with trips around the neighborhood riding in the basket of PJ’s scooter. PJ noticed early on that Cali responded well to the affection of other senior citizens in the community, especially those with medical and mobility challenges. Once in the basket, Cali is calm and tolerates any variety of affection or distractions, and the people who interact with her benefit greatly from her gentle manner and adorable Calico smile.

Recognizing the value of pet rehabilitation, PJ took it upon herself to have her veterinarian declare Cali a certified therapy cat. In doing so, Cali is now free to visit any of the hundreds of units throughout the La Vida Llena community; and Cali loves it all. Cali is even the princess of the complex’s annual puppy parade, where she wears a crown and robe to lead the pack of canine residents at La Vida Llena. Cali is so popular that PJ’s neighbors often don’t greet PJ anymore; they see the scooter coming and immediately ask for Cali! PJ doesn’t mind, because she knows that Cali is doing so much for many senior citizens who benefit greatly from the warmth and compassion of a companion pet.

take two pets and call us in the morning They always knew that Lucy was a special dog. From the moment the Dennedys brought her home, she immediately clung to their

hearts and sides. Lucy is one of two dogs in the family of Chip and Ann Dennedy, long-time Animal Humane donors and volunteers.

They have always been passionate pet lovers and advocates, and enjoy every moment of their lives with sweet Lucy and her canine

sister, Ethel.

A few years ago, their lives were changed by the most common cancer among American women—breast cancer. Ann was

diagnosed with Invasive Ductal Carcinoma (IDC). Chip and Ann were optimistic, positive, and willing to do whatever was necessary

to help Ann heal. So was Lucy. Much to both dogs delight, Ann was home for 5 months while recovering from surgery, chemotherapy,

and radiation treatments. “When your wife is sick like that, you don’t even want to go to work, but you have to. Knowing Lucy was

there for her made me feel better,” says Chip.

Overnight, Lucy became a model therapy dog, with zero training or formal recognition. Wherever Ann was, Lucy was, with a warm

furry face to cuddle and a gentle paw to stroke. “She hung right by me like she knew I needed her,” says Ann. Even on days when

both Lucy and Ethel would normally accompany Chip on outings and joyfully hop in the car—if Lucy sensed that Ann wasn’t going,

she refused to leave Ann’s side.

The American Cancer Society projects that 1 in 8 women will develop breast cancer in their lifetime, and it’s estimated that 80% of

all breast cancers are IDC. We like to envision each and every Cancer patient with a loving cat or dog by their side, to help them heal

and receive the tender affection only provided by the soft licks or purrs of a companion pet. The Dennedy’s have celebrated 4+ years

of Ann’s perfect health, and celebrate “Nurse Lucy” daily for everything she means to them and their family.

“When your emotions are just the worst, there’s nothing better than a favorite pet to pick you up.”– Chip Dennedy

a sniff and a shake: John Brandt, Human Resources Manager

From the minute I walked in the front door I could feel the passion of Animal Humane and I knew it was the right place for me. Growing up on a farm in north central Ohio, I developed a love for animals; especially dogs and cats. It’s a wonderful feeling to be part of an organization helping so many pets and families in New Mexico. After serving 22 years in the United States Air Force, I turned to nonprofits to begin a second career. For the next 10 years, I worked at a homeless shelter in Las Vegas, Nevada, assisting women and children gain independence and self-reliance. It was very rewarding employment and I never thought I would find a job I enjoyed as much as that one; until I started working at Animal Humane. I feel very fortunate to be part of such a wonderful organization and I am honored to work alongside such amazing, compassionate and dedicated people. Albuquerque is a great location and I look forward to many years of exploring, camping, hiking, and mountain biking.

Animal Humane impresses us. Linda & Chuck Hale wanted to leave their assets to an organization

they respect…they “wouldn’t give them to just anybody.” They chose to include Animal Humane New Mexico in their estate plans because they strongly believe our organization is very well managed.

The Hales married in 1959. Chuck proposed within the first month of courtship, but Linda waited to say “yes” until Chuck completed his degree from Pomona College. The Hales had dogs early on and throughout their marriage. Linda likes their personalities and the fact that their name is “God spelled backwards.” The Hales currently share their life with Bo Bailey, a 5-year-old German Spitz, that enjoys neighborhood strolls 4x daily and an Arby’s sandwich with a candle (hold the BBQ sauce) on his birthday!

The Hales began contributing to Animal Humane in 1972. They support our organization because they can only rescue one pet at a time, but we touch thousands of lives annually with their remarkable giving. They are quite impressed with our strong leadership and that their contributions are spent wisely.

Chuck & Linda also enjoy attending our annual Planned Giving Luncheon—a celebrated event at our Virginia Street campus that is hosted for individuals who have included Animal Humane in their estate plans as well as those who wish to learn more about our operations. Chuck says he “loves the luncheon” because he is able “to see what you are doing next.” Linda also shares that “You can tell from Peggy’s presentation that Animal Humane is effective and well run. And nothing pleases me more than an organized group.”

The Hales are gifting funds to us that were bequeathed to them by Linda’s father, Walter J. Kopp. “I know how much my father adored Animal Humane and dogs, and this is a wonderful way to memorialize his and our own passion for pets. When we are gone, cats and dogs will benefit from our estate gift and that gives us great peace of mind.”planned giving luncheon
