Don’t miss all the dog-gone fun at Bark in the Park.The benefits of a canine walking partner

are many, including a healthier, happier

lifestyle for both you and your “best

friend.” All dogs and their owners are

invited to be healthy and kick-off Spring

at the one and only, premiere canine

event of the year, the Humane Society of

Missouri’s Bark in the Park–A Walk

for Animals and Country Fair Festival!

Magnificent Forest Park is the perfect

setting for this year’s fun-filled, family-

friendly day with activities galore for

young and old alike. Highlighting the

action-packed day are the exciting

Purina Incredible Dog Team, exotic

animals from Busch Gardens and Sea

World, a Build-A-Bear Workshop

Foundation and Heartgard/Frontline

Family Fun Area, a giant inflatable

playground, dog races and contests and

finger-licking country fair food for all

to enjoy! KSDK’s Cindy Preszler, Ed

Goodman and MaryAnn Carson from

KEZK and Jen Meyers from Y98 will

be on hand to meet and greet all the

wonderful dogs and their owners. Mark

this must-attend event on your calendar

— Saturday, May 17. The event opens at

10 a.m.; the walk begins at 11 a.m.

At the Humane Society’s

Longmeadow Rescue Ranch, adoptions

are increasing rapidly for the numerous

horses in our care thanks to the addition

to our staff of a talented horse trainer,

Scott Jaycox. Scott’s expertise enables

severely abused and neglected horses

to heal as well as be trained for riding,

which increases a horse’s adoption

prospects exponentially. Please read

more in this issue and plan to visit

Longmeadow during our weekly Open

House 11 a.m.–3 p.m. every Saturday.

While you’re there, visit the new ranch

gift shop which is chock full of appeal-

ing merchandise with horse and farm

animal motifs.

Finally, the Humane Society of

Missouri recently lost a very good friend

and supporter with the untimely death

of Rita Brumm. In addition to being

an outstanding community volunteer,

Rita served as Director of Community

Relations at the Humane Society during

the 1990s. She was instrumental in

assisting us with our building campaign

for the current headquarters facility on

Macklind Avenue in St. Louis City. At her

death, she was serving on the Humane

Society’s Friends Council. We extend

our deepest sympathy to Rita’s family

and are grateful for her dedication to

our cause.

Humane Society of Missouri Tails is a quarterly magazine published by the Humane Society of Missouri.

The Humane Society of Missouri is dedicated to second chances. We provide a safe and caring haven to all animals in need — large and small — that have been abused, neglected or abandoned. Our mission is to end the cycle of abuse and pet over-population through our rescue and investigation efforts, spay/neuter programs and educational classes. We are committed to creating lasting relationships between people and animals through our adoption programs. We further support that bond by making available world-class veterinary care and outstanding pet obedience and behavior programs.

The Scoop

More than 300 attendees “glittered and glamoured” atop

St. Louis at the Chase Park Plaza to give homeless animals the

second chance they deserve. The night began with a surprise

Barkademy Lifetime Achievement Award for Most Significant

Service to Homeless Pets by a TV Anchor presented to the

evening’s emcee, KSDK’s Jennifer Blome. Blome, accompa-

nied by her Humane Society of Missouri alum dog Joey, pre-

sented the three additional Barkademy Awards.

The award for Best Pet Video went to Angela Marino and

Dan Will’s English Bulldog Lucy for her performance in

“Happy Birfday.” The Best Second Chance Adoption Story was

awarded to Laurie Livingston’s dog Ellie, an eight-year-old

Chow Lab mix and another Humane Society of Missouri alum.

Ellie has achieved her Canine Good Citizen Certificate and

is a beloved teacher in the Humane Society’s Education

Department. The third award, Most Heroic Pet, went to Brent

and Stephanie Clark’s Great Dane, Macy Lynn, who donates

blood to the St. Louis Animal Blood Bank.

While law enforcement arrested participants, the

Rescues and Investigations unit gathered the dogs and trans-

ported them to safety. As the Humane Society does in every

rescue, the team carefully documented evidence for future

use in the courtroom.

“We spent from 11:30 p.m. to 6:30 a.m. with documentation,”

said Rickey. “We found antibiotics and other drugs, a treadmill

and plenty of other evidence of a

dogfighting operation.” Despite the

long hours and the danger, “It is a

rewarding moment to get the dogs

out of the situation and make a

difference,” Rickey added.

New Hope for Formerly Doomed DogsLaw enforcement has filed charges

against the fight organizers and dog

owners. In the past, scarred and

mistreated survivors of dog fighting

were often immediately euthanized.

Both misunderstanding of the breed

and inadequate laws contributed to

this unfortunate fate.

National attention brought to

the plight of dogs used for fighting

from the Michael Vick case and the

efforts of proponents of the breed

nationwide have encouraged rescue

organizations to investigate strategies to rehabilitate and

possibly rehome these former fighters.

The Humane Society of Missouri is one of the first animal

shelters in the United States to take this approach toward

dogs rescued from fighting situations. Led by Debbie Hill, vice

president of Operations for the Humane Society of Missouri,

a team of local and national animal welfare and behavior

experts designed a behavior evaluation process to assess the

behavior of each dog. Humane Society of Missouri behavior

experts Linda Campbell and Lorraine Martinez were joined by

national behavior experts Tim Racer and Randall Lockwood.

Rescue Tales

Battle ScarsNationwide, thousands of specially bred dogs suffer for the

sadistic pleasure of spectators who watch them fight until

one dog cannot get up.

Because dogfighting is illegal in all 50 states, fighting

rings hide underground, depending on a murky network of

gamblers to bring in the cash. Suspicious neighbors and

other concerned citizens play a major role in uncovering

the brutal blood sport.

Such was the case when the

sheriff in Stoddard County, Missouri

was notified last October of suspi-

cious activity. As a result of the tip, a

dogfighting operation was broken up,

participants arrested and 25 pit bulls

rescued. A beagle on the premises

was also taken to safety. A few weeks

later, a blind pit bull with obvious

fighting scars was surrendered by

one of the defendants in the case.

SerendipityOnly two days before the tip, the

Humane Society of Missouri had

traveled to Stoddard County, in

southeast Missouri near Cape

Girardeau, to teach a course on,

“Animal Welfare and the Law.”

During the rescue, law

enforcement personnel relied heavily

on six experienced animal abuse investigators from the

Humane Society of Missouri to develop the tactical plan

to execute the warrant.

Tim Rickey, director of Rescues and Investigations,

explained, “This was their first experience with breaking

up this kind of illegal activity. We helped get the search

warrant, and then worked together to set up a surveillance

and apprehension strategy.”

To make the arrests, the sheriff called in all reserve

officers and detectives, and requested assistance from

the highway patrol.

The true face of dogfighting. One of the pit bulls removed after a bust of a Stoddard County dog fighting ring.


Rescue Tales

Eliminating Future ScarsA proposed bill in the Missouri Senate (SB819)

would make it a felony to be a spectator at a

dogfight. It is already illegal to participate in

dogfighting. Debbie Hill, vice president of

Operations at the Humane Society, testified for

the bill at a February hearing.“We don’t want to

forget what the true face of dogfighting is,” Hill

said. “It’s not Michael Vick. It is the animals who

are abused in this fashion.”

Please contact your Missouri senator to support

passage of this bill and enforcement of existing

animal protection laws. Enter your complete

nine-digit zip code at www.hsmo.org/legislation

to find names and contact information for your

legislators. Sponsors of the bill, Senator Scott Rupp

R-St. Louis and Senator Chuck Graham, D-Columbia,

also would appreciate your messages of support.

Racer is an experienced dog evaluator and advocate for

pit bulls. Lockwood is senior vice president of Anticruelty

Initiatives and Legislative Services for the American Society

for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. The two men were

among those appointed by the federal court to evaluate and

recommend placement of the dogs seized last July from

former Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Vick.

Cyndi Nason, Adoption Centers director, with one of the pit bulls to be released to a rescue group. Haley flew to California in March.

“I was glad to be a part of the Humane Society of

Missouri evaluation process for these dogs,” said Racer.

“It is indicative of a more progressive way of thinking about

dogs from fight situations. These dogs are victims of animal

cruelty and should be given the opportunity and dignity to

be evaluated as individuals — like any other animal from a

cruelty case.”

Evaluators took each dog through a series of situations

designed to determine their behavior, reactions and

aggressiveness toward humans and other dogs. At the

recommendation of the evaluation team, and due to

extremely aggressive behavior toward other dogs, one two-

year-old male was humanely euthanized. “I was impressed

with the knowledge and skill of the staff and their dedication

to the best interests of each of these dogs,” said Racer. “Not

many organizations would dedicate the time and resources

it has taken to ensure the best outcome for these animals.”

Lockwood reviewed the Humane Society’s evaluation

of each dog. “I believe the Humane Society of Missouri is the

first animal shelter in the country to use what we learned

from the Michael Vick case and go to the lengths they have

to care for, evaluate and possibly place dogs from a fighting

situation,” he said. “I compliment them on the thoroughness

and professionalism of their process. Whatever the eventual

outcome for each of these dogs, they have received the most

consideration possible.”

Lorraine Martinez, Humane Society of Missouri behavior expert and national behavior expert, Tim Racer conduct an evaluation on a pit bull.


Giving Second Chances“We are committed to giving these dogs who came from such

horrible abuse the absolute best chance for a good life,”

commented Debbie Hill, vice president of Operations. “It is

a tragedy that because of their mistreatment by humans for

financial gain and so-called sport, some may not ever be able

to be placed in a home situation.”

Through the dedication of three rescue groups, five of

the adult dogs from the Stoddard County dogfighting situation

are already spoken for. The beagle found a new home, as did

five of the seven puppies. The other two puppies, both male

can be adopted through the Humane Society of Missouri.

“We are tremendously grateful to the Missouri Pit Bull

Rescue Group in Kansas City, Mutts-n-Stuff of Foristell

and Our Pack in California,” said Cyndi Nason, Adoption

Centers director.

“We are very interested in working with other bona-fide

pit bull rescue groups in the United States to place as many

of these dogs as possible,” Nason said. Interested rescue

groups should contact the Humane Society of Missouri at

(314) 951-1544.

Preparing for the Next Rescue

Rescues such as this one are expensive. The pit

bulls were treated for fight wounds, vaccinated,

spayed and neutered, fed and sheltered at a cost

of more than $35,000 in the months since the

October rescue.

We need your donations to prepare for the

next time a sheriff calls us to rescue animals from

life-threatening conditions. Donate securely

Volunteer Spotlight

Meet A Volunteer Who Goes

by the Numbers!Tom Martin is a longtime volunteer supporting the well-being

of animals. He started volunteering for Adopt-A-Stray which

was eventually acquired by the Humane Society of Missouri.

He stayed with us as we moved to our beautiful Chesterfield

Valley Center in Boone’s Crossing. Even though the location and

staff changed, Tom has remained loyal to helping the animals

and volunteering as a Pet Pal (dog walker). “The dedication

and commitment that Tom gives us is awesome. He is an

accountant, but even when he is busy with tax season, he

continues to give volunteer hours,” said Tammi Britton,

Adoption Center manager at Chesterfield Valley Center.

“The Chesterfield Valley location offers Pet Pals more

space to exercise and walk the dogs. I really enjoy it — it’s

fun!” says Tom, who is now semi-retired. “I get exercise along

with the dogs. While walking them, you get to know their

personalities and it is easy to get emotionally attached to

them. But I know the staff takes good care of them and finds

them good homes.”

“Tom told me one of the perks of walking dogs is that he

found 16 cents in the parking lot! I hope he declares that income

in his 2007 taxes!” said Lauren Connors, volunteer coordinator.

coordinator, at (314) 951-1577 or [email protected].

Pet Advice


Newborn animals arrive from a sterile environment (the

uterus) into a world of micro organisms such as viruses and

bacteria. Fortunately, through the process of nursing, they

absorb maternal antibodies contained in the mother’s milk,

which provide temporary protection against potentially fatal

diseases, for example, distemper and Parvovirus infections.

After weaning, usually at six to eight weeks of age, these

passively acquired antibodies gradually decline, reaching

insignificant levels by about 10-16 weeks of age.

Vaccination of young animals is usually started at six

to eight weeks of age. However, still circulating maternal

antibodies can temporarily interfere with the production

of active antibodies by the immune system of puppies. To

overcome this resistance, additional booster vaccinations

are administered, usually some weeks apart.

Certain infectious organisms, such as Parvovirus can

persist in an uncontrolled environment like public parks and

streets for some months. It is advisable to avoid these public

areas during that vulnerable age of eight to 16 weeks.

Dr. Suzanne Saueressig, the first practicing female veteri-

narian in Missouri, has been helping people with their pets

at the Humane Society of Missouri since 1955. If you have a

health question about your pet, email [email protected].

Vaccinating Your New PetMy new Beagle-mixed puppy is eight weeks old and had her first vaccination a few days ago. My veterinarian advised me not to take her to public places where other dogs aggregate, such as parks, before she had additional vaccinations and reaches the age of 16 weeks. He said taking her to puppy-obedience class is OK because it is a controlled environment. Why is that one vaccination not sufficient? My previous older dog only got one vaccination every year.


Behavior Tip

When puppies play with each other, they use their mouths.

Therefore, puppies usually want to bite or “mouth” hands

during play or when being petted. With puppies, this is

rarely aggressive behavior in which the intent is to do harm.

Because puppies are highly motivated to exhibit this type of

behavior, attempts to suppress it or stop it are unlikely to be

successful unless you give your puppy an alternative behavior.

The goals of working with this normal puppy behavior are to

redirect your puppy’s desire to put something in her mouth

onto acceptable chew toys and to teach her to be gentle when

a hand is in her mouth.

Encourage Acceptable Behavior• Redirect your puppy’s chewing onto acceptable objects by

offering her a small rawhide chew bone or other type of chew

toy whenever you pet her. This technique can be especially

effective when children want to pet her.

• As you or the child reach out to scratch her behind the ears

(not over the head) with one hand, offer the chew bone

with the other. This will not only help your puppy learn

that people and petting are wonderful, but will also keep

her mouth busy while she’s being petted. Alternate which

hand does the petting and which one has the chew bone.

• At first, you may need to pet or scratch your puppy for short

periods of time, since the longer she’s petted, the more likely

she is to get excited and start to nip.

Dealing with Normal Puppy Behavior:

Nipping and Rough Play

Discourage Unacceptable BehaviorYou must also teach your puppy to be gentle with hands,

and that nipping results in unpleasant consequences for her.

Teach your puppy that nipping “turns off” any attention and

social interaction with you.

• After a nip, look your puppy right in the eye, and yell “OUCH”

as though you’ve been mortally wounded, then ignore her.

Leave the room if you must, but ignore her until she’s calm,

then try the chew bone and petting method again. It’s even

better if you can coax your puppy into a sitting position using

food. It may take many repetitions for her to understand

what’s expected.

• Nipping and mouthing hands can also be discouraged by

loosely holding your puppy’s lower jaw between your thumb

and forefinger after she’s taken your hand in her mouth.

Don’t hurt her by squeezing too hard, just gently hang on

so that wherever her mouth goes, your hand hangs on. This

will quickly become tiresome and she’ll eventually pull

away. After several seconds, release her jaw, but continue

to offer her your hand. If she licks or ignores it, praise, pet

and offer a tidbit. If she closes her mouth on your hand

again, repeat the procedure.

• A third alternative is to wear cotton gloves coated with a sub-

stance with an unpleasant taste such as Bitter Apple. In this

way, your puppy will learn that hands in mouth taste bad. For

this method to work, every time she nips your hand she must

experience this bad taste. The possible disadvantage to this

method is that your puppy may learn hands with gloves taste

bad and those without gloves don’t.

Remember that any of these three methods will probably not

be effective unless you work hard to teach your puppy the

right behavior by offering her an acceptable chew toy.

Jumping UpWhen your puppy jumps up on you, she wants attention.

Whether you push her away, knee her in the chest or step

on her hind legs, she’s being rewarded for jumping up

(even though it’s negative attention, she’s still getting

what she wants).


When Your Puppy Jumps Up

• Fold your arms in front of you, turn away from her and say

“off.” Continue to turn away from her until all four of her feet

are on the ground, then quietly praise her and give her a treat.

• If she knows the “sit” command, give the command when all

four of her feet are on the ground, then quietly praise her and

give her a treat while she’s in the sitting position. When you

begin to praise her, if she begins to jump up again, simply

turn away and repeat the step above. Remember to keep your

praise low-key.

• When your puppy realizes that she gets no attention from you

while she’s jumping up, but does get attention when she stops

jumping up and sits, she’ll stop jumping up.

• Remember, once you’ve taught her to come and sit quietly

for attention, you must reward her behavior. Be careful not

to ignore her when she comes and sits politely, waiting for

your attention.

What Not To DoAttempts to tap, slap or hit your puppy in the face for nipping

or jumping up are almost guaranteed to backfire. Several

things may happen, depending on your puppy’s temperament

and the severity of the correction:

• She could become “hand-shy” and cringe or cower whenever

a hand comes toward her face.

• She could become afraid of you and refuse to come to you

or approach you at all.

• She could respond in a defensive manner and attempt to bite

you to defend herself.

• She could interpret a mild slap as an invitation to play, causing

her to become more excited and even more likely to nip.

Behavior TipNever play “tug-of-war” or wrestling games with your puppy if

you’re having a nipping problem. These types of games encour-

age out-of-control behavior, grabbing, lunging and competition

with you. These aren’t behaviors you want her to learn.

A Note About Children and PuppiesIt’s very difficult for children under eight or nine years old

to practice the kind of behavior modification outlined here.

Children’s first reaction to being nipped or mouthed by a puppy

is to push the puppy away with their hands and arms. This will

be interpreted by the puppy as play and will probably cause

the puppy to nip and mouth even more. Dogs should never be

left alone with children under ten and parents should monitor

closely all interactions between their children and dogs.

L Double R Tack Room and Gift Shop at the ranch! grand opening this spring- Bridles, halters, grooming supplies, training tools- Horse and farm animal boutique items for kids and adults

Abused and neglected horses come to Longmeadow Rescue

Ranch in pretty bad shape. They are often malnourished and

have received little or no veterinary care. Their hooves are

misshapen and infected; their coats are matted or they have

rain rot and other chronic skin conditions; they have worms

and other internal maladies. These horses are fearful of

humans and their new surroundings. Many cling to the back

of their stalls, refusing to even come to the stall door.

Many potential horse adopters come to Longmeadow

as relatively new horse owners. They want a horse for their

teenager or themselves but have little experience with the

challenges of working with a rescue horse.

Bridging that gap between rescued horse and potential

adopter is the goal of the horse training program recently

initiated at the Ranch. “We realized we needed to correct that

mismatch,” said Debbie Hill, vice president of Operations for

the Humane Society of Missouri and Longmeadow Rescue

Ranch. “Both the horses and adopters need to have an under-

standing of each other. We want the animals we place to live

in ‘forever’ homes and that means doing everything we can to

ensure adopters get the horse they want and the horses get

the home they need.”

That’s where horse trainer Scott Jaycox comes in. Hired

in August of 2007, Jaycox is a life-long Missourian and horse

lover. A veteran of the first Gulf War, Jaycox says he’s been

Turning on the (Equine) Lights

Longmeadow Rescue Ranch

involved with horses all his life. “I grew up in west St. Louis

County when it was still ‘country’,” he explains. “We always

had horses and I loved working with them. Coming to

Longmeadow is my perfect, dream job.”

Jaycox says Longmeadow’s horse training program is as

much about educating the horses as helping potential adopters.

“We use a ‘soft touch’ method with all of our horses. We work

to change their attitude toward humans so they enjoy their

job of being a great personal horse. Then we work with the

adopters so they understand what works best for the particu-

lar horse they want. It’s so much more than just teaching a

horse to move forward, stop, turn or yield a leg to us.”

“The best part of my job is when the light comes on in a

horse’s eyes. It’s just great when you know the trust is there

and the horse truly gets what he or she is supposed to do.”

Hill says the success of the new training program can be

measured by the numbers as well as comments from adopters.

“Scott’s personal attention to recent adopters has been enthu-

siastically received. They tell us they have learned so much and

will be much better horse owners as a result of our training

program.” Hill also notes that in the recent very weak horse

market, adoptions have remained steady at Longmeadow.

“Without this new program, horse adoptions could have

plummeted. Scott’s ability to work so well with both the

horses and adopters ensures we accomplish our mission of

rescue, rehabilitation and adoption.”

New!


Ripped from the pages of today’s headlines, as they say, is

another story dealing with the question of estate planning

for pets. Trouble, a white Maltese owned by the late Leona

Helmsley, proprietress of the Helmsley Hotel chain, appears

to be the beneficiary of a 12 million dollar trust, according to

the provisions of Mrs. Helmsley’s last Will filed in the New

York Surrogate (probate) courts.

This story, widely reported in the media last fall

(Mrs. Helmsley passed away August 20, 2007), does not fully

disclose what really happened. True, the Will does direct a

gift of 12 million dollars to the Leona Helmsley July 2005

Trust, and the same provision of the Will gives Trouble to

Mrs. Helmsley’s brother, but that is all that the Will discloses.

Since the July 2005 Trust was not part of the Will, and was

not filed for probate, the provisions of the Trust for Trouble’s

benefit are unknown.

This situation, though, highlights some of the issues

that should be addressed in planning for the future care of

beloved pets. Who will care for the animal on a day-to-day

basis? What amount will be required for the care of the

animal? Who will manage that fund? Where will any money

left over at the death of the pet go? Missouri and other states

have adopted a framework for “pet trusts” in recent trust

law legislation (see Section 456.4-408 Revised Statutes of

Missouri). While the trust approach may be more complex

than necessary in some cases, or not appropriate in others,

it does respond to these questions, once the basic questions

(who will care for the animal, etc.) have been answered.

Pet owners should periodically review their estate plans

to be sure this planning adequately addresses the needs

of their pets.

If you have questions about planned gifts, please call Patricia

R. Cassens, CFRE, at the Humane Society of Missouri,
