Young dogs Remy and Pookie fi rst came to the Cleveland APL as a result of an animal cruelty case. Given their circumstances, they were confused and scared when they arrived, but at least they had each other.

Remy, a Beagle/Lab mix, and Pookie, a Jack Russell mix, came from a very stressful living condition. They found comfort in sharing a cage at the APL and soon began to thrive in their new environment as individuals. Our volunteers and staff gave them lots of love and their happy, puppy-like personalities began to emerge.

That’s when Jon Goerig came to the APL and fell in love with Pookie. Jon was only able to take one dog, though. So, while we were happy that Jon and Pookie, now Puppy, had found each other, we needed to fi nd Remy someone to fall in love with her, too … or did we?

One day, a friend of Jon’s, whose dog got along very well with Puppy, encouraged Jon to get a companion for her. Jon went to our website to see who we had available, and as he scrolled through the photos of adoptable dogs, he came across one of a small black dog. Lo and behold, Puppy was in the same photo!! Jon knew that had to be the dog that Puppy had come in with,

so he came in the next day and adopted Remy.

“I wish you all could have been here to see it,” Jon wrote in an e-mail to the APL staff shortly after the dogs were reunited. “Remy & Puppy (Pookie) are happy as can be to be back together again. There was a brief moment of uncertainty, but it faded

quickly. Puppy quickly welcomed Remy to her new

home and showed her where the toy box is.”

Remy and Puppy spend their days running and playing together (tug-o-war is their favorite game), and when they have tired themselves out, they lie down together to sleep, Jon said. “They are truly best friends now and love each other very much.”

Despite his initial reluctance to have two dogs, Jon has no regrets. “They have been such a great addition to my life,” he said. “It seems that the story gets better every day.”.

Roo’s News

Executive Director Letter

Sharon Harveyand Roo

I’m going to share two statistics with you that pretty much defi ne our daily challenges at the Cleveland APL and every shelter and rescue group in the United States.

In 2009, PetSmart Charities did a national survey of 2,000 adults (18 years old and up) split equally by gender, and an additional 1,000 adults who had acquired a pet in the previous 12 months. Are you ready? The fi rst statistic … only 24% of people acquired their pets from an animal shelter or rescue group. The good news is that’s up from 18% in 2006 as reported by the American Pet Product Association Survey. So we’re doing better but still have a ways to go. The second statistic … of the dog owners and cat owners whose pets had litters, 53% of dog owners and 54% of cat owners said it was an accident! OUCH and double OUCH!

The Cleveland APL has put so many lifesaving measures in place over the past few years, such as our Second Chance medical program, but unless people adopt, ultimately, we can’t save lives. It’s as simple as that. So, what are we doing in response? We’ve created a wonderfully bright, friendly environment for both our animals and visitors at the shelter. We’ve built a team who appreciates the importance of

our adopters’ experience, and they’re really fun! We’ve used creative, fun adoption promotions to attract the attention of people who might be thinking about adding a pet to their family but maybe hadn’t considered adopting. We’ve created a customer-friendly adoption process, because after all, the other thing the survey showed is that people who come to a shelter to adopt want to save a life, to do the right thing.

As for the spay/neuter fact, well, if we could convince even 50% of the folks whose pets had a surprise litter to get their pets fi xed now, our animal intake would decrease dramatically, especially for cats and kittens. And we dream of a day when no unwanted animals are born.

So, how can you help? I wouldn’t be doing my job if I didn’t say by making a gift to the Cleveland APL so we can continue to do the incredible work we’re doing. But, beyond that, you can implore EVERYONE you know, and for that matter, everyone you walk past, to adopt a homeless animal and to spay/neuter their pet … and we mean NOW!


“Smart” is the word that keeps coming up when Tami Jirousek talks about her dog MJ. In fact, MJ is so smart she knew she was the perfect dog for the Jirouseks before they did.

As Tami and her daughter, Holly, drove to the Cleveland APL last August they made a mental list of what they were looking for: around 20 pounds, dark-haired, male, defi nitely nothing fawn or golden colored or in the Sheltie or Collie family. It’s not that they didn’t like those colors or breed types; it’s just that they too closely resembled their beloved Sheltie, Tippy, whose loss they both still feel deeply.

More than anything, though, Tami said, they wanted “a doggie with some smarts.” And that’s how MJ, then known as “Maddie,” won them over despite her resemblance to Tippy. Having had Tippy for 11 years, Tami and Holly were accustomed to a smart dog and were easily able to spot another. Maddie’s expressive eyes and reaction to their voices prompted them to have a “meet and greet” with the 40-pound Sheltie-Golden Retriever mix, and they instantly fell in love. “MJ allowed me to brush her and didn’t have a care in the world,” Tami recalled. “She actually fell asleep with her head on my knee while I was brushing her belly and then her tail. She was so trusting and calm. We knew she was our new addition.”

The timing couldn’t have been better. The Jirouseks had recently moved out of an apartment and into a house, and Holly had decided to attend college locally. They now had enough space and time for a dog, so MJ moved in with Tami, Holly, their calico cat, who, Tami says, “is not impressed

with the new addition at all and avoids MJ at all costs,” and two hermit crabs.

Like so many APL animals, Maddie came to the shelter because of circumstances beyond her control.

MJ (short for Maddie Jirousek) settled into her new home immediately and has won raves from everyone she meets (except the calico, of course). “She is playful but also calm and so amazingly, incredibly smart – very, very smart,” Tami said. “She learned ‘back-up’ and ‘excuse me’ in two days! It’s as though she truly understands English!”

Like so many APL animals, Maddie came to the shelter because of circumstances beyond her control. At age 4, she already knew how to behave. “We couldn’t have gotten a better pooch,” Tami said. “Her temperament, manners and personality are simply wonderful. Someone took great care with her when she was young and taught her well. We are benefi ting from that love and nurturing now. She is a pleasure to have in our home.”

Fur Ball 2010, “Cold Noses, Warm Hearts,” lived up to its promise to be the tail-wagging event of the year! The Cleveland Animal Protective League’s annual gala took place on Saturday, November 6, at the InterContinental Hotel Cleveland. A record number of 375 guests helped us to raise more than $178,000 to benefi t the APL’s Second Chance Program.

Music from the Joe Hunter Trio provided the backdrop as guests enjoyed an outstanding meal and were wowed by the live and silent auctions. They also witnessed the transformation of three animals whose sad and tragic beginnings were turned into happy endings because of the medical care and TLC the Second Chance Program allows us to provide.

Baker, a young Lab mix, arrived at the

Cleveland APL, emaciated, barely able to move, and covered in sores, dirt, and feces. Over the next few months, the efforts of our veterinary team, including one member who became Baker’s foster caregiver, resulted in a miraculous recovery. And that foster caregiver is now Baker’s mom!

Radio Flyer was surrendered by a little girl who came to our Animal Admissions department pulling a red wagon containing a cat carrier behind her. She handed over a note from her mother, who had seen the cat being thrown from a car earlier that morning. Her mother had to go to work and couldn’t keep the cat because of her allergies, and on top of that it had very obvious injuries to its jaw. So she directed her daughter to take him where she knew he would be helped – the Cleveland APL.

Revol, the evening’s V.I.P. (Very Important Pooch), had such a severe case of mange that he was missing most of his fur and was in horrible discomfort. He, too, was treated in our clinic before completing his recovery in the home of a dedicated foster care volunteer. And today, after months of care and love, Revol is a much-beloved member of his new family.

A committed group of APL volunteers work on this event all year long. APL Board Member Tanis Swan is the board liaison. She is joined by Janet Menko and Michelle Wheadon, who co-chaired the Auction Committee; Sue Speer and Kara Vlach-Lasher, who

co-chaired the Auction Presentation Committee; and Bianca Cuic, who chaired the Decoration Committee. This year we were pleased to have as our Honorary Chairs, Amy Hafner and Annie Thomas. Without their hard work, and the hard work of the many volunteers who worked during the event, Fur Ball would not be possible!

Please Save The Date! Fur Ball 2011 will take place on Saturday, November 5, at the InterContinental Hotel Cleveland!

Hiding under a car could have spelled disaster for a little kitten, but it turned out she was really in the right place at the right time.

Back in August, Tony, one of our volunteers, found the tiny brown tabby in a school parking lot. With no mother cat or any littermates in sight, he picked up the friendly kitty and brought her to his house, where he and his wife, Ginny, regularly foster Cleveland APL animals.

Ginny brought her to the APL the next day to be examined by our veterinary team. They discovered that the 1 ½-pound kitten had a hernia and bite wounds, most likely the result of being attacked by a dog, and would need to have surgery. There was no question where the kitten, named Miracle, would recuperate: Ginny immediately offered to take her in.

Miracle recovered quickly, and soon was back at the shelter, where she had one more minor procedure, then was ready to be put up for adoption. Now fully healed, the little survivor

found a home within a week.

Not long afterward, Ginny was thrilled to get a call from Miracle’s new mom, who told her that the kitten they both loved was enjoying life, with plenty of toys and even a kitty “cousin” to play with. Once again, little Miracle has ended up in the right place!

One of the great things about adopting a puppy is watching it grow, and the staff and volunteers at the Cleveland APL got to witness the growth of one particular puppy almost from the day she was born. Now everyone can join her journey online!

Nikita and her six littermates came to our shelter last summer when they were only 14 days old after their mother died of poisoning. Even with expert care, the survival of orphaned pups this young can be pretty iffy. So, our staff quickly sprung into action, with Adoptions Supervisor Bree Alcox assuming the role of the puppies’ mom.

As Bree recalls, Foster Care Coordinator Alyson Manningham asked her to take the Akita-Shepherd mix pups home to get them through the weekend as they needed to be bottle-fed, and then there was no going back – that one weekend turned into two months!

“At fi rst these guys did not eat well,” Bree said. “I had to force feed them enough to get them through to the next feeding.”

The puppies required virtually around-the-clock attention. “It was a lot of work waking up every two hours to start the bottle-feeding process – and a lot of poop – but I made it through with the help of volunteers, family and neighbors.” Bree said.

By the end of their time in foster care, not only did they all survive their hard beginning, but they have since been adopted!

“Although it was very hard to give them up,” Bree said, “I was glad to see them all go to wonderful homes.”

With so many people invested in this litter’s welfare, we were delighted to fi nd out that little Nikita now has her own blog! This little gal is quite the prolifi c writer, sharing adventures such as shopping, discovering the wonders of leaves and modeling her fi rst Halloween costume.

Bree said she and the neighbors who helped her with the puppies during those two months enjoy keeping tabs on Nikita through the blog and are so thankful to know how much she is loved. Check it out for yourself at http://nikitaland.wordpress.com.

The Cleveland Animal Protective League lovingly cares for thousands of homeless, injured and abused animals each year. For some, their cage at the APL, complete with a warm bed, toys, plenty of food and water, and lots of TLC, is the only “home” they have ever known. For others, it’s a temporary home until

they fi nd the love of another family. For all of them, it’s the reason they’re getting a second chance. Our annual cage sponsors bring hope and comfort to our animals while they

wait for their future mom or dad to adopt them and take them home—permanently. We ask that you help us to provide all of the care and love

they need while they are with us by becoming a cage sponsor.

Your cage sponsorship will be recognized with a plaque on a cage in our cat, dog or small mammal adoption center areas. You may choose to make your cage sponsorship in honor or in memory of a special pet or person or you may choose to advertise your business. Cage sponsorships are renewable every year.

At the Cleveland Animal Protective League, healthy, friendly animals stay with us until they are adopted. We all know a cage in a shelter is not a permanent home, but with your cage sponsorship, we can make it a temporary home away from home until they have one of their own by providing all the care that is needed—and that they so rightfully deserve.

For cage sponsorship opportunities please see below.
