Tattle TailsApril 2016

Progress in the animal welfare world can come quickly, in Great Dane-sized leaps! When we

can run at HAWS, we do: we’re looking to soon “plant” shovels in the ground and see the walls of our facility expansion “sprout”! We’re embracing the chaos of construction, because the growth of HAWS means we are ever closer to building a No-Kill Community – and an entire society that is humane. We are grateful that our community stepped up to help us raise the needed building funds in a relatively short timeframe.

But, life in animal welfare can also move at the pace of a cat napping in the sun. This isn’t always a bad thing – extra time at HAWS can mean more training for an adoptable dog or TLC for a cat with an injured paw. And, it is enjoyable for us

WALKING THE TALK: HAWS‘ NEXT STEPShumans, too, because of those daily interactions with the animals entrusted to our care. Being around animals means you can soak up the love and joie de vivre they possess. Live for today, revel in the moment, stop and smell the roses (once they’re not covered by snow and are actually in bloom, that is)!

At whatever speed, HAWS will continue moving forward, taking those next steps for the animals. We invite our entire community to get in step with us – in this Tattle Tails we present ideas for every-one to do just that! Programs need your support, animals need us to advocate for them, children need our guidance and events need attending! All ages can take action for the animals and help continue the progress we’ve made at HAWS. A

Come walk – and chase and shop and play!Romp ‘n Rally is a day for the entire family, 2- and 4-legged members alike!

Featuring lure coursing, trail challenges, vendor marketplace, live music, food, contests… everything you need to celebrate spring and HAWS.

Set up an online fundraising page and rally for donations before you romp!

As we close out our facility expansion campaign, the

natural question is “What are the next steps for HAWS?” The bricks and mortar expansion will consume quite a bit of time, but meanwhile we remain focused on the needs of our community’s animals. HAWS is much more than

a building. We are committed to caring for animals by helping people care for animals; through collaborative efforts we will save as many animals as possible.

Education is, and always will be, a huge part of what we do. Education and commitment are the founda-tion for an entire culture of animal welfare advocates. Many of our original Kids ‘N Critters campers have graduated from college and are now taking the mes-sage of compassion forward into their homes, jobs and families. This is an exciting time for education as we see the fruits of our efforts.

Assistance offered through our Behavior Department, SNIP clinic and Animal Rescue Team will be enhanced.

Direct Line By Lynn Olenik, Executive Director

Additional training classes for cats and volunteer opportunities will be available in our Behavior Department. Our SNIP clinic will be able to assist more rescue groups and provide additional TNR (Trap-Neuter-Return) services to further reduce cat overpopulation. The addition of GIS mapping software – and combined efforts of our Animal Rescue Team and SNIP clinic – will allow us to target specific cat breeding areas and concentrate our resources. This type of targeting also opens us up for competitive grant opportunities.

Some of the most exciting additions will take place in Adoption Services. More proactive programs for our “cat” people are being explored, including hos-pice foster caregivers, taming “tigers” (cats that are marginally feral) and barn cat placement for healthy, altered outdoor cats. We already have additional staff for dog behavior consults – a dedicated place for consults is coming!

We are more than a building…although the building helps! Thank you to all who have so generously given. HAWS’ future is bright! C

HAWS is seeking nomi-nations for the 6th

Annual Diana Boettcher Youth Community Kindness Award. This award is presented in mem-ory of Diana Boettcher, a longtime resident of Lac La Belle who cared equally for the animals and people in her neighborhood through-out her life.

The Diana Boettcher Award seeks to honor a youth who exemplifies kindness to animals in the community through volunteering, promoting awareness and/or other acts of humane animal treatment. The honoree will be selected by a panel of HAWS’ employees and friends. Selection is based on the nominee’s commit-ment to animal welfare through public service and community life.

Nominees must be 18 years or younger. Family, friends, community members and teachers are allowed to nominate deserving youth; in addition, students may also nominate themselves. If chosen, the recipient must be available to accept the award at the Friends of HAWS’ 33rd Annual Romp ‘n Rally Pet Walk on May 7, 2016 at Sussex Village Park.

Applications must include the nominee’s name, address, birth date, school and an essay (not to exceed 500 words) explaining the youth’s commitment to animals in their community. Applications must be received at HAWS by April 15th and can be emailed to Megan at education@hawspets.org or sent to HAWS/Award, Attn: Megan, PO Box 834, Waukesha, WI, 53187-0834. A

2014 winner, Sophie G.

Join us at HAWS for camp this summer!

For ages 7-14; sessions from 1 day to 1 week.

Special theme weeks include:• Art Camp• Camp Gone to the Dogs• Horseback Riding Fieldtrip Camp

Log on to hawspets.org or call 262-542-8851, x123 for details and registration!

What is “Science With The Animals” Camp?

Campers will discover facts about some of the latest animal research, such as how Chaser the border collie learned the names of over 1,000 of her toys, and studies showing that dogs respond better to a human pointing at a container holding food than does a chimpanzee.

Additionally the campers will do some of their own research! How long does it take for a rodent to run through a maze for cheese versus a sunflower seed? Does a dog respond to a hand signal or a word better when asked to sit or lie down? What species is more likely to feel comfortable in a new environment – cats or dogs? Join us!

RESCUE TAILS...

REGGIE & STEWIESo grateful to HAWS’ animal behavioral consultant Leann Boucha. She is amazing. We unexpectedly lost both our beloved cats, four months apart. We took our sad hearts

to HAWS, where we fell in love with Reggie (Spud). But we found that Reggie was too timid for a mate. Leann gave us some coaching to build his confi-dence, then she helped us find Stewie (Puff), who had the perfect temperament for everyone in our home. Both Reggie and Stewie were fostered by HAWS’ excellent volunteers, and it shows! Now we have a perfect match. See their wild kitten antics on Facebook at “Reginald Braveheart Macpherson & Stewart Little.” — Bonnie & Gary H.

MILLIE ROSEHi HAWS – Millie Rose is doing well. We are adjusting to Jack Russell life – we love her. People comment on how beauti-ful she is…

the neighbor dog comes over to play- it’s so cute!

Millie Rose has been a great addition to our family – thanks, HAWS! — Millie Rose and her owners

CAPTAIN JACKCaptain Jack came to HAWS from the 2015 hoarding situation. He was terrified of people and had several health issues. When he fi-nally came home with us, we were able to start socializing him and give him the love and care he had never had

before HAWS. Almost a year later, he is a happy and healthy chin! He gets out for wall surfing and munch-ing on hay with our rabbits every night. And, when he is feeling more mellow, he loves to snuggle. Thank you, HAWS, for taking care of Jack and the other chinchillas in their time of great need. — Kera & Chris B.

With warm weather right around the corner, HAWS is preparing for the sounds of spring: kittens purring, baby birds chirping, summer camp

children laughing and…ground breaking! As we prepare for our much anticipated facility expansion, it is important for our donors, adopters, clients and volunteers to know how much of an impact they can continue to make on the future of the Behavior Department.

As we move closer and closer towards becoming a No-Kill Community, it is becoming magnificently apparent that our work and humane sentiments are being valued. Owners are seeking help to keep their pets in their homes, which leads to less surrendered animals and a deeper understanding of meeting an individual pet’s needs. Clients are taking multiple training classes to keep their pets mentally engaged and learning a variety of cues for appropriate behavior. Adopters and foster caregivers are opening up their homes to special needs pets and dogs from down south that otherwise wouldn’t have had the oppor-tunity for a good life. And lastly, more people are becoming aware of our abil-ity to not just help with dog behavior issues, but cat behavior issues as well!

The future of our Behavior Department will likely involve more networking with fellow rescues and shelters, and more educational opportunities for the public in the form of seminars and interactive training workshops. The relation-ships that we make with our clients are lasting, and we want to empower those that have been touched by the Behavior Department to give back.

Help us take the next steps towards our future with your feedback, positive re-views, small donations of toys, food, treats – and monetary donations in honor of your beloved pet that has had an impact on your life. We are so grateful to those donors who have laid the groundwork for our new behavior and training room that will be built during the expansion. And with this new area, we hope to be able to make an even greater impact on the lives of many more shelter animals. Here’s to the future – let’s see what we can accomplish!

HAWS – At the READY!HAWS provides resources for capture and removal of do-mestic and wild animals in Waukesha County:

• Call HAWS for assistance with skunks, bats and raccoons due to dangers from a bite. HAWS also handles injured deer along with the DNR and local law enforcement.

• HAWS is able to capture stray animals at large or in dangerous situations.

• HAWS has “how to” info for wildlife posing a nuisance in your yard.

HAWS’ Rescue Team includes state and federally licensed wildlife rehabilitators and personnel permitted in endan-gered species care. They are trained in the use of chemical immobilization for all animal species. HAWS also maintains equipment suitable for capture of many different types of animals, and training to assist large domestic animals and wildlife confronted with an emergency. HAWS even has an inflatable boat for water rescues! We are ready to respond 24/7/365 to provide care and assistance!

HAWS’ Animal Rescue Team assisted an interesting mix of ani-mals yet again! Calls for assistance included a stunned deer, a snake…and a Polish Rooster! This fancy gent was found wandering in Menomonee Falls; our staff found it to be very tame, even willing to sit on a lap during check-in!

KIM K.Kennel Lead (degrees in Psychology and Sociology)What do you do all day?

I can’t even begin to describe! Every day is busy and VERY dif-ferent - managing every animal in the building and their needs, managing the kennel staff, going on rescue calls...making LOTS of tough decisions....What makes you good at your job? My compassion and love of animals, my dedica-tion and my education.What did you want to be when you grew up? Vet or zookeeper.Who are your pets? Big Red the Betta fish (actually belongs to my son, Nikolas); and a regu-lar line-up of fosters, like cats Abraham and Boxer and many puppies!What are your hobbies/in-terests outside of work? Painting, home remodeling, reading, eating.Why do you work for HAWS? Why NOT?! It’s the best – fulfilling life’s purpose of helping animals. That, and I really rack up the steps on my Fitbit!

Staff SpotlightsALYSHA H.Kennel Lead, SNIP Tech, Animal Rescue TeamWhat do you do all day? Medicate, vaccinate, document! Check-in strays and

surrendered animals and then prepare animals for adoption. Guide the kennel staff and advise fosters. Schedule SNIP ap-pointments, prep animals and assist with surgeries and recovery, prepare meds and document some more! Go out on rescue calls and help citizens.What makes you good at your job? I have some schooling as a vet tech, plus my compassion for animals and passion for learning new things involved in the shelter workplace.What did you want to be when you grew up? Vet or architect.Who are your pets? Dogs Rue and Chelsea, cats Sox and Stubby.What are your hobbies/interests outside of work? Outdoor activities like hiking, plus craft projects from scrap-booking to refinishing furniture.Why do you work for HAWS? I work at HAWS for the happy endings – seeing an animal go to its forever home after all the effort we have put in giving it the best potential for adoption. Also for my co-workers – we all lift each other up when going through tough times. We’re family, and that’s how we treat every animal here, too.

HAPPY HENRYEverything is going really well. Henry is fitting in great with our other dogs and loves sleeping on our couch pillows! He’s so sweet! I can’t believe anyone could give him up. Thanks for

asking about him since the adoption – it really shows you care how things are working out! — Anne Marie
