FALL 2008

There are many days when we in the animal welfare world wonder if we are really making a difference. The poem below answers that question. The OCSPCA dedicates it to all the incredible people who spend their time rescuing and fostering the thousands of pets who are homeless or come from abused conditions. Our heartfelt thanks to Kim M, Courtney H, Pam R, Cindy M, Mindy M, Diana M, Deanna S, Cheryl Z, Marilyn P, Toni E, Gena B, Bev H, Alison S, Stacy S, Lynn C, Judy B, Debra T, Judy S, Dave C and to all of you who we have yet to meet. Thank you for caring and for “saving just one more”. Please share this poem with all your family and friends and ask them to help by saving their next forever friend from their local shelter or rescue.

Saving Just One More by C.A. Milbrandt

While walking on the beach one day, I saw a Starfish by the shore.

And everywhere I looked it seemed, I saw a thousand more. Then what to my surprise appeared? A boy of nine or ten.

And as the Starfish washed ashore, he threw them back again.

"One fish won't make a difference son; You can't change this situation." He stooped and picked up one more fish, then looking right at me, "I can make a difference for this one, sir" and returned it to the sea.

So I went and gathered all my friends, my brothers and my cousins. We joined in with that little boy and saved Starfish by the dozens." There are still many to be rescued - many "Starfish" on life's shore.

And you can make a difference too...by saving just one more."

Please remember the homeless animals this holiday season. Call your local shelters to find out if you can donate toys, treats, blankets or food. Go to the shelter and volunteer your time whether it is in the kennels or in the office. Call a rescue group and become a foster parent. Set some pans of food out for feral cats. Your act of compassion will be the greatest gift you could ever give to the animals and yourself. Sincere best wishes for a wonderful and happy holiday season from the Orange County SPCA Board of Directors: Bob, Renee, Judy, Kim, Tracy and Donna. Our many thanks to all of you for helping us be successful at what we do!

STOP LITTERING ORANGE COUNTY Tracy Roberts During the past year, the OCSPCA has issued over 4,000 spay/neuter vouchers through its voucher program and sponsored a free spay/neuter clinic day. OCSPCA offers spay/neuter vouchers to low income pet owners. The voucher may cover the entire cost of a spay/neuter procedure or a significant portion of the procedure with the owner contributing an amount they can afford.

Why Spay or Neuter: It is a Community Problem • Pet overpopulation is the #1 killer of cats and dogs in the US with 10-12 million animals killed annually in shelters! • In just 7 years, one female cat and her offspring can produce 420,000 kittens! • In just 6 years, one female dog and her offspring can produce 67,000 puppies! • Only 1 of every 9 cats or dogs will find a forever home. • Unaltered females have a higher rate of developing breast and uterine cancer. Unaltered males have a considerably

higher rate of developing prostrate cancer. • Pets that are not fixed are more likely to stray from home. These animals die painfully from: starvation, from being hit by

a vehicle, or from animal fights.

How Can You Help? • Pledge to Stop Littering. By making a commitment to donate $50 per month for one year, you will be part of the

solution by sponsoring one spay or neuter a month. Those who “Pledge to Stop Littering” will get their name on our pledge page. If you are a business, you can have a link to your business. You can make a one time $600 donation for the year or you can set up to have $50 per month deducted from a debit or credit card through PayPal for one year.

• Donate. If you cannot afford $50 per month, please donate to the OCSPCA and know that your money is making a difference in the fight against overpopulation of dogs and cats in Orange County as well as providing assistance to the OCSPCA’s many other crucial programs.

• Ask Your Veterinarian. You can also help by asking your veterinarian to get involved. We need more veterinarians who are willing to accept our spay/neuter vouchers or who will donate one or more free spay neuters a month.

OCSPCA BOARD – OUR MISSION FOR THE ORGANIZATION Judy Maitlen The OCSPCA currently has a six member, all volunteer Board of Directors. The board members have a variety of life and work experience but share one passion - a heart for animals and a desire to give them a voice by advocating for them. About a year ago we spent countless hours designing a Business Plan for the present and future operations of this 20 year old non-profit organization. We developed the Vision, Mission, Goals and Objectives to guide the OCSPCA in decision making and budget planning over the next several years. Shown below is an overview of where we hope to focus the organization in order to make a difference. All of our hopes and dreams, of course, are based on our wish to relieve animal suffering at any level and tied to our ability to raise the funds to do so in this tough economy.

VISION: All animals are treated humanely and with compassion. MISSION: Foster the humane treatment of animals through Cruelty intervention; Education of the public; Financial assistance to low income pet owners; and Promote the animal/human bond GOALS:

• Provide education regarding Spay/neuter; advise through our helpline and referrals to community resources. • Provide Cruelty Intervention by protecting pets vulnerable to abuse in domestic violence situations; liaison with animal

control/law enforcement agencies. • Support animal welfare legislation • Provide Financial Assistance for medical services and spay/neuter for low income pet owners; spay feral cats; and

holding low cost vaccination clinics. • Encourage the Animal/Human Bond by providing volunteer pet teams to visit hospitals, children’s shelters, senior

daycare centers, elementary school and community events. OBJECTIVES:

• Provide humane education to the public by adding a bi-lingual component to programs; and instituting a countywide advertising campaign using PSA’s, busses and billboards to call attention to spay/neuter and the reasons for adopting shelter or rescue pets.

• Encourage the Animal/Human Bond by holding the annual Walk For The Animals to raise funds and demonstrate the importance of animal human relationships; expand the PAWS program; encouraging a kindness to animals module in every Orange County elementary school; encouraging citizens to get involved in animal welfare activities.

• Provide Sustained Financial Stability for the existing programs and future expansion by developing and maintaining a financial plan that supports current and future programs.

CANINE LITERACY PROGRAM VISITS AVALON Barbara Murphy, Program Coordinator Late last spring, six PAWS teams met in Long Beach at the Catalina Express Terminal to begin a six-week Canine Literacy program at Avalon School on Catalina Island. There were 42 students, grades 2 through 5, chosen to participate in our program. Each PAWS team had seven readers and each student read for 15 minutes. All the volunteers noticed a marked improvement in the reading ability and self-confidence of each student at the end of the six weeks.

Our dogs inspired rather than pressured reluctant readers and provided a safe and comfortable environment to improve their skills. I had a fifth grade student in my group who was very afraid of the dogs. She made sure to place her chair away from Meggie, my Golden Retriever, but close enough to be heard. By the last session her fear was gone and she was down on the floor stroking Meggie as she read her book.

Kris Bonham had a special education student who read to Andre, her Standard Poodle. According to Kris, “She was so excited to read to Andre that she clapped and shrieked with joy.” She loved Dr. Seuss books and Andre sat patiently through many readings of The Cat in the Hat. Another of Kris’s students would start yawning after a few minutes of reading. Andre would give her his paw and Kris would tell the student that Andre was very interested in what she was reading. After a few paws of encouragement from Andre, the student would laugh and begin reading again. Soon her reading became more fluid and she read with enthusiasm to Andre.

At the end of our six-week session, each student was presented with a certificate and two bookmarks, one with their dog and one with all the dogs. The warmth and hospitality of the staff of Avalon School and the smiles on the students’ faces as they read to our dogs made this a truly memorable experience for all. The volunteers were thrilled with the impact the Canine Literacy Program made on the students of Avalon School but what really surprised us was the huge impact we made on the general public.

It began on the very first day we gathered at the Long Beach Terminal. There is nothing like a dog to open up conversation. We were asked questions about who we were and what we were doing. It was a wonderful opportunity to educate the general public. Many did not know there was a difference between service dogs and therapy dogs. When we explained the Canine Literacy program and other programs of the OCSPCA, they were very impressed.

Our time on the boat going to and from Catalina was also spent in public education. We even had a group of seniors from the South Bay area who wanted to start a therapy dog program at their senior center, library, and in their community after talking to our volunteers. They took several pictures of our group to present to their board of directors.

On one of our early trips, our volunteers met an Avalon resident. Her mother was a long-term care patient at the local hospital. She asked if it would be possible for us to visit her mother. After getting approval, our group was able to visit on two occasions with three long-term care patients at the local park on our way back to the boat. There were lots of smiles and sincere thanks.

Many of the volunteers walked to Avalon School from the boat and back to the boat at the end of the reading sessions. We were stopped on the street by tourists and locals wanting to know what we were about. We had people relate their experiences of being visited by a therapy dog or having a relative that was visited by a therapy dog while in the hospital. We are unable to count the number of times we heard the words, “Thank you for the wonderful work you and your dogs are doing.” A lady we met told her family to make sure if she had to go to a nursing home that the home had a therapy dog program.

Each weekly trip took about 9 hours, start to finish. Although it was very tiring, it was a great opportunity to strengthen the bond between handler and dog. We believe our dogs became better therapy dogs after being exposed to so many different situations including large crowds, elevators, gangways, and boats. All six dogs were wonderful ambassadors for the OCSPCA and made us very proud indeed!

ADOPTING AN ADULT DOG Judy Maitlen Want a dog? Need a dog? Need another dog? Of course we do! We all know there is nothing like the smell of a new puppy with those faces kisses and snuggles. Don’t forget the fun of sharp puppy teeth, the waking up at night for potty breaks, the chewing, the several feedings a day, and the housebreaking. Of course all of this only lasts until they are possibly two years old…something to think about. When we had to say goodbye to our 15 ½ year old lab/shepherd mix we knew it was her time, but how I missed her sweet face and her head on my lap. I even began to ache for blond hair on my black pants. I was on the hunt within a few weeks. After deciding that puppy breath was not in my future, I went to the Orange County Animal Care Center to find our new companion. There he was in Kennel 346, sitting quietly and not joining in the cacophony of barking, my perfect boy: a three-year old cream colored lab weighing 100 pounds. He came into the Shelter as a stray…his owners never claimed him. We got acquainted in the visiting area. He let me touch his ears, tail, feet and mouth but mostly he was excited to be out of that kennel! I wiped away tears and told the kennel attendant “He’s mine.” And handed him the collar I carried with me. On the ride home he laid quietly in the back seat glancing at me wondering “Who is this strange woman who kidnapped me?” We arrived home where he immediately started nuzzling the lawn and turned over for tummy rubs. We played ball and he demonstrated his ability to carry toys around in his mouth. He frolicked. Within two days we learned that he knows “sit, stay, come, down, out and no” and he learned his new name “Apollo” (for the Greek god). He has had no accidents in the house. He quietly waits for his food. He never barks inappropriately and is gentle with his two cat brothers. Apollo rests on his family room bed while we watch TV and looks at us through big brown eyes that say “Thank you for finding me and being my forever family.” Adopting an adult dog is a wonderful and rewarding experience. Every puppy will become a dog, and they all need a home. But…if you or someone you know is still set on the joys of housebreaking, remember to find your puppy at a Shelter or through a rescue group. Buying a puppy at pet store inevitably supports the inhumane puppy mill business. But wait, there’s more! Two months after adding Apollo to our household, we decided that he needed a buddy (we traditionally have had at least two dogs). Once again, we ventured to the Shelter and waiting for us was a 14 month old Dobie girl (58 pounds) whose owners turned her in because she was “too active”. See my comments above about the two year puppy experience. She loved us, we loved her and off we went. We named her Nike—the Greek Goddess of Victory. After two hours of licking and sniffing in the most intimate ways, Apollo and Nike were bonded. She is a gorgeous girl. The “siblings” adore each other. No housebreaking problems; Nike learned the house rules in a week and adores the cats. Apollo has lost a total of nine pounds since June. The only problem is, you guessed it, she is still a young girl and a chewer. So, we bring in lots of legal chew items. Our family is complete and joyful!

GOLFING WITH MUTT LYNCH’S On May 13th Mutt Lynch’s in Newport Beach hosted a golf tournament in our honor. The tournament was held at the beautiful Costa Mesa Golf and Country Club. The weather was perfect, the participants were energetic and Barbara Murphy and Callie from our PAWS program were on hand to wish everyone a great round of golf. We were very excited to receive a check from Mutt Lynch’s for $9000.00. Every dollar was spent on direct aid to help animals through our financial aid program, spay/neuter vouchers and partnering with other organizations to provide low cost vaccination and spay/neuter clinics. We are very grateful to Mutt Lynch’s for recognizing the work we do for the Animals and we want to thank everyone who helped to put on such a fun and successful event. Please take the time to stop by Mutt Lynch’s for some great food and while you are there tell Mike or Diane what a wonderful thing they did for us and the animals in our county. If you can’t go in person please write them a note, I know they would enjoy hearing from you. Mutt Lynch’s is located at 2300 W. Oceanfront, Newport Beach, 92663 or email them at info@muttlynchs.com.

It took me over a month to touch her, but was something I worked on every day. At the time it could be two days and I wouldn’t get out of bed due to medical problems. Now at 7:30am, I wake up to ‘whiskers’ and face pats! Next is breakfast and an hour out, 10:30am more to eat, 2:30pm a snack and 5 to 6pm dinner. She keeps me going all day.
