What if the Animal Welfare
League was not here?
(Think About This)
Domestic pet & feral population growth in just ONE year:
1,100 animals would NOT have been spayed or neutered by AWL in 2014.
$163,000 would NOT have been spent for these and related
veterinary services.
These 1,100 animals had the potential to have 192,500 offspring in just
FOUR (4) years However, the escalation of those 1,100 animals was
ZERO. Growth of feral colonies at roadends, businesses, trash collection
sites, and homes of big-hearted souls would be overwhelming…so much
so, that it would be overpowering.
Road Hazard
This increased population would mean greater frequency of vehicle
strikes that translates into human injury, medical bills, increased insurance rates, and dead animals left in the road or along the roadsides. County and state responsibility may feel the
overload of road clean up and repair. In addition, we cannot forget the great sadness experienced by some for killed
or maimed animals and the fear experienced at the moment of impact.
County and Taxpayer Responsibilities
County responsibility to control, house, and euthanize would increase — and cost to the taxpayers would likely spiral
upward at an amazing rate.
Cruelty and Homelessness
The indirect cruelty of pet over-population caused by territorial disputes,
food competition, and disease would just increase naturally. The cost to
pet owners and the drain on county resources would increase as well.
The HUNDREDS of forever homes found by AWL volunteers is phenomenal! What is even more phenomenal is the number of animals that
our small, but dedicated, group of FOSTER parents took in, loved, and
nourished on a temporary basis — providing a refuge until the pet found
their FOREVER HOME.
Where would all of these little critters be…….if…….the

th
Animal Welfare League Was Not Here?
Kathie A. Bryant, Spay/Neuter Chairman, AWL Volunteer
Magnificent Max
by Pat Reilly, AWL Fostering Volunteer
T’was two days before Christmas and all through the dump, just one creature was stirring, a tiny young pup. An angel was there working, a caring man
who contacted Animal Control and the 7 week old puppy was brought to a local shelter.
This is the true, appalling beginning of Max’s life. Someone discarded this precious baby to fend for
himself on a cold winter day. He would never have survived.
Animal Control contacted the Animal Welfare League, asking us if we wanted to take custody and
foster this little boy. As an AWL volunteer and foster, I gladly accepted this darling puppy into my
home. He was taken to the vet immediately to be checked for broken bones or any other injuries that
may have occurred prior to or at the time he was tossed from a vehicle.
Other than a skin issue, he checked out fine, received his first shots and worming medication. After a
few days of sleeping in a cozy, warm doggie bed with toys and many good meals, Max seemed healthy
and not traumatized. I thought we would venture out for some
socialization. First stop, our Animal Welfare League Thrift
Shop.
Perhaps fate was in the works that day. A couple from Annapolis, Gwenn and Rob Murray, were travelling south that
same day and decided to stop at our AWL shop. They saw the
little puppy wrapped in a blanket in my arms and it seemed
like an instant attraction. The Murrays, along with their elder
dog, Astro, were very interested in adopting Max.
As with all AWL adoptions, there is a 2-week trial period to
see how the new pet fits in with the family
home and other pets. My heart was telling me that this was a good match, but I
wanted and needed Gwenn and Rob to go
home and think it over. We never release
an animal for a trial without first checking a few important items, including vet
references for past and current pets. These
folks checked out with flying colors. We
were talking within a few days, and, sure
enough, the Murrays felt that Max was
meant to be theirs forever. They drove
back down from Annapolis to pick up the
little bundle and begin the 2-week trial.
And here, almost 2 years later is Magnificent Max on the cover of our 15th annual
Dog Gone Dog Show advertising newspaper supplement!

Northern Neck Community Cats - "Best Friends - Save Them”

Sometimes Community Cats are found at one location in a group often
called a Cat Colony. Frequently, a colony consists of related cats. Left
to survive on their own, a colony will reproduce and increase in size
rapidly. Kittens as young as six months can have kittens. It is not uncommon for an unsterilized female to
have three litters a year. Kittens often
succumb to predators, parasites, and
disease.

and had taken care of her kittens with the help of her mother, Grey. We
collected Tabby’s kittens, placed them in a foster environment, and they
were adopted. Tabby was very friendly and was easily enticed into a
crate for her trip to the vet to be spayed and inoculated for rabies and
distemper. She was a small, thin cat who the vet said was still nursing
her weaned kittens. Today, she has grown to be a healthy adult.
Another female cat named Tessa was pregnant with her second litter.
One of the caregivers said Tessa had a litter last year, but no one knew
what happened to her kittens. Tessa was low in the hierarchy at the
colony and was chased away from the feeding area by the other cats. We
suspected that is why she was unable to find a safe place for her kittens.
Unfortunately she gave birth to an unknown number of kittens before
we could trap her. We saw Tessa move a kitten one rainy morning and
calculated the date we could try to trap her. During the weeks that followed Tessa stopped behaving like a nursing mother cat. We never knew
what happened to her kittens.
Tessa was a trapping challenge, but
as time went on, she became very
trusting and loving to us. That meant
a “pick up and place in crate” approach rather than trapping to get
Tessa to the vet. Tessa is now free
from the struggle to care for herself
and kittens in a difficult environment.
Today, Tessa is a more confident cat
and has found her place in the colony
hierarchy.
Wolf
The other female cats were successfully trapped and spayed. One gave birth
to an unknown number of kittens
before being trapped. Only one kitten lived to adulthood. Buttons grew
into a healthy, friendly cat who was
neutered and returned to the colony in
suffering due to illness or injury. One of the more elusive and older
11
male cats called Tippy Toes was finally trapped this year. Tippy Toes
was one of the few feral cats at the colony and was found to suffer from
Feline AIDS (FIV). He exhibited signs of declining health due to that
terminal and contagious disease. We authorized euthanasia. To date, we
have authorized euthanasia for four sick cats. In the last year, we have
provided sterilization, inoculations, and other care to 9 healthy cats at
this colony. We have provided additional vet care to three previously
sterilized cats.
Our work is not done. We admire the commitment of two long-time
AWL volunteers who come twice every day, no matter the weather,
to feed the colony. We support them by helping to keep the feeding
area clean and providing additional routine care for the cats. We give
monthly flea and tick treatments and other medication as needed. We
know the cats well now and monitor their health. We follow up on any
concern reported to us.
We picked up two lost or abandoned young cats at the colony in the
spring. Mickey is a friendly little male who is now in his forever home
through AWL adoption. A very sweet female named Lucy found us one
day and introduced herself by rubbing against one of us. We made sure
she was spayed and got a checkup. She had very bad ear infections and
was fostered for a month before she was adopted.
This colony contains 19 cats and 18 of them are sterilized. We still occasionally see the elusive male cat named Buff whom we have not trapped
yet. We have not forgotten him. We are inspired every day by these
Community Cats as we continue our efforts to make their lives better.

January of this year.
Tommy and Strike were two of the young males on our list. Tommy is
Tabby’s brother and is very friendly. He was enticed into a Hav-A-Heart
trap for his visit to the vet. He was treated for a bite wound in addition
to being neutered and inoculated for rabies and distemper. Strike was
very shy, but entered a Hav-A-Heart trap for his trip to the vet. Today
Strike is a cat who likes getting head scratches.
The last three male cats proved to be a big challenge in trapping, but
we did not stop. One of the more aggressive ones named Teddy (Tessa’s
brother) was trapped in mid-August. After his sterilization and return,
he became one of the friendliest and most loving of the colony. His
willingness to be touched allowed us to take care of him in the Fall
when he developed a cyst on his head near his ear. At first we thought
it was a bad case of ear mites that caused him to scratch himself badly.
He allowed one of us to put two liquid medications in each ear. He
also allowed his ears to be cleaned and medications to be applied. We
were unable to trap him or entice him into a crate for needed vet care
before the winter came. Teddy’s routine changed and we did not see him
regularly for months. Finally, in March we were able to pick him up and
put him in a crate to take him to the vet. Sadly the vet found the cyst
covered two cancerous tumors. We authorized euthanasia to save him
the inevitable painful progression of the disease.
A sad, but important, part of the care we provide for these cats is to end

Pet Food Donations
By Florence Harvey, AWL Pet Food Coordinator
There are hundreds of hungry cats and dogs throughout the Northern
Neck. Some are strays; others are in foster care awaiting adoption.
Still others are in loving homes that have been hard-hit by this bad
economy. Regardless of an animal’s circumstances, the Animal Welfare
League stands ready to help.
We can only offer that help through the public’s generous donation of
cat and dog food. Often, a customer will come into our Kilmarnock
thrift shop with a large bag of dry kibble, a multi-pack of moist canned
food, or a big box of kitty litter. Some of our area merchants regularly
donate torn and unsalable bags of food that I, in turn, repackage for
distribution.
dog suddenly decides she prefers canned food over that 50-lbs. bag of
kibble you just bought. Or the vet puts your aging or ill pet on a special
diet – and you have a pantry packed with cans or bags of the old diet.
Please consider donating it to us.
Sometimes, when our pet food supplies are particularly low, we’ve
had to put out a distress call. Right now, we are particularly in need of
puppy and kitten chows for the youngsters we have in foster care.
Regular needs or emergency needs, whenever you donate, it’s always
the right time. So please remember the animals all year. If you can
spare some pet food, we promise it will be put to good use. We’re fortunate to be part of an amazing, extended community of animal lovers.
And I say, on behalf of the AWL, BRING IT ON! Perhaps your finicky Thank you for all that you’ve done in the past, and for all you’ll do in
feline now sticks up his nose at his old cat chow. Maybe your diva
the future. The Animal Welfare League couldn’t do it without you.

FOSTER HOMES
(The act of looking after not one’s own, short term)
How many more precious animals could be saved if only
there was a place to take them?
Boarding an animal is not always possible.
Boarding facilities get full and animal hospitals
get full or do not board at all.
The Animal Welfare League is desperate for
Foster Homes to house dogs and cats allowing
time to find permanent homes.
Please make room in your home
and in your heart for those unable to help themselves.
From a very caring animal lover.

Here are some spay/neuter figures we feel you will find interesting…
Any animal adopted from Lancaster, Northumberland and Westmoreland Animal Shelters, Wendy’s Feline Friends
and Animal Welfare League Cat Rescue Organizations are sterilized at the expense of the AWL. Many of these animals
are pregnant which costs extra money to sterilize.
Although we are very happy with the 1,100 spay and neuters, we wish the figure were twice that amount. It has taken
years to get to this ‘twice’ the amount figure as you can see by the below figures…

Dog #109 - a/k/a “Beau”
by Joyce Page, AWL Vice President & Adoption Officer
Once upon a time, the Westmoreland County
Shelter had on their website a dog that was about
to be sent to Heaven. He was described as a Saint
Bernard/Pointer mix and his time was up. A lady
in Illinois happened upon this website and felt so
sorry for this dog that she started the wheels turning to save him.
My first involvement was when I received an
email (as did many others) asking if any of us
lived near the Westmoreland County Shelter.
Naturally I knew that answer, as I’m about 40
miles for it. The question was: could I get to
him in time to save him? The Illinois family had
another problem: they couldn’t get the dog until
late in the month so whoever got him out of the
shelter would have to foster him.
will probably be Beau’s one and only airplane
ride.
It took numerous "legs" to get Beau the 954 miles,

after leg, until his new mom drove the last 2 legs
toward him, and Beau was truly Home. It took 14
dedicated individuals and several hundred emails
to get this done, but with dog-loving
determination it got done!
I told Beau’s new mom, never have so many people worked so hard to rescue a sightunseen dog
from a shelter and transport him almost a thousand miles. The main point, however, is that he
was worth every anxious minute we put toward
getting this accomplished. Furthermore, most of
the dogs in shelters would be just as worthy if we
had loving homes for them.
Well, I could handle #109 for a few weeks if
it would save his life. Dog #109 was renamed
“Beau” by his soon-to-be new mother and I
brought him back to Lancaster for fostering.
I will never see Beau again, but he’ll always hold
Okay! Beau was saved and safe. Next problem:

how do we get him from Virginia to Illinois quickly and safely?
Beau in Parkersburg, WV
This is where the story gets interesting. Beau’s
new Illinois mom does animal rescue work in her
area and knew a lot of animal-loving people. I
packed Beau, water, food, and treats for the 2-day
trip and made sure I had plenty of identification
on him.
Beau, my sister, and I left at 5:30 AM one Saturday morning for the first "leg" of the trip to Charlottesville. There was a great father and daughter
team who took him on his second "leg" to meet
up with his private airplane. The plane owner
flew Beau from Virginia to West Virginia in what

FOSTER HOMES NEEDED
If we had more foster homes we could save so many more animals than we do now. We never
know exactly how long an animal will remain in foster care because there is so much involved
in getting him/her either adopted or into a rescue. The most common answer I give when asked
this question is anywhere from a couple of weeks to a couple of months. I then often hear “How
can you give them up after you’ve had them so long” and the answer is very easy-It isn’t about
me, it’s about them!!!!
Yes, there’s a lot of work involved in fostering, but it doesn’t compare with the satisfaction you
feel when you know you were a part of saving a precious life. These critters are homeless and
helpless, so it is up to the volunteers of the Animal Welfare League to speak and act for them.
Again I’m looking for foster homes, and hoping you’ll give very serious consideration to being a
part of this life-saving
experience.

wning a dog is a big responsibility, but one that also provides a companion whose
love is unconditional. Dog owners quickly learn their four-legged friends respond
differently than humans to certain situations, including the changing weather.
Many dog owners may notice that their pets seem particularly attuned to the weather. Changing weather can affect canines much like it does people, but dogs may also
be affected in ways their owners are not. According to the Society for the Prevention
of Cruelty to Animals, dogs can feel changes in barometric pressure and even in the

become agitated or overexcited by dips in barometric pressure. As electrical storms
approach, some dogs may get very anxious, even running and hiding if their anxiety is
especially high.
Many dogs are afraid of thunder and lightning and can sense approaching storms

Dogs also can sniff out storms, detecting concentrations of chemicals common during some storms. Dogs can smell ozone in the air associated with lightning as well.

effects of these changes. Owners often notice more stiffness and lameness in pets
during adverse weather conditions. Pain resulting from arthritis may increase and
muscles may stiffen when the climate becomes cooler.
Many animals are known to have an innate sense of changing weather or oncoming
storms. Dogs can learn to anticipate meaning behind atmospheric changes that can
alert others to upcoming weather.

Death and Taxes
By Rita Scott, CPA, AWL Treasurer
Bet these aren’t two of your favorite topics, are they? Most of us don’t
want to think about either of these-until we absolutely have to. The
AWL has a couple of ideas and suggestions for you, to help make it
easier to deal with each of them. Just bear with us for a minute,
please!
First, death-either yours or a loved one, that loved one being your
pet(s). Please remember your beloved pets and ALL of our animal
friends in your will and end-of-life planning. Here are a couple of
specific things for you to consider acting on:
s First, make arrangements for someone who will take care of your
pet(s) when you no longer can, and consider providing the financial means for them to do so, if that is appropriate.
s Second, make a bequest in your will to the Animal Welfare League
of the Northern Neck, Box 975, White Stone VA 22578, for its use
in providing for the welfare of animals in the area. If you wish to
leave tangible property, please consult with your attorney for the
provisions necessary in your will to do so.
s Third, request that memorial donations be made to the Anima
Welfare League in lieu of flowers.
All too often, the AWL will be contacted by relatives of someone who
has passed away without providing for their pets, seeking advice or
assistance with placing the pets. These poor animals have lost their
human “parent” and have no one to look after them. The relatives
cannot care for them for any number of reasons, so the animals are
either abandoned, taken to one of the shelters or referred to us.
PLEASE, PLEASE make sure your pets are adequately provided for!
And second, taxes-while taxes are certainly not a favorite topic for
most of us, there are a couple of ways for you to maximize the tax
benefits of donating to the Animal Welfare League which could help
make paying your tax bill(s) a little less painful. First, if you donate
stock or mutual fund shares that have appreciated in value since you
acquired them, you may be able to get a tax deduction for the market
value of the gift by donating the stock or mutual fund shares directly
to the AWL. In this way, you avoid selling the shares yourself and
paying a tax on the gain. While the stock market has certainly had its
share of ups and downs in recent months, if you have held shares for a
considerable period of time, you may still have a sizable gain in value
over what you initially paid for them. (For example, if you bought 100
shares of ABC stock in 1995 for $15 per share and want to sell it this
year when it is trading at $38 per share and then donate the money to
the AWL, you would have a taxable gain of $2300 if you sold the
shares outright and a deductible charitable contribution, potentially, of
$3800. But if you donate the stock directly to the AWL, you will have
no gain and a charitable contribution deduction of $3800.)
Secondly, donations that are made directly from IRAs to charities are
allowed under the tax laws for those who are 70 ½ or older, up to
$100,000. Such a gift counts as part of the annual required minimum
distribution. The amount of the gift is excluded from taxable income,
but also cannot be claimed as a tax deduction. Such a direct donation
should be considered by those who do not itemize their deductions for
tax purposes.
As you probably know, the AWL operates a thrift shop, which is our
primary source of income. We rely on donations of all types of items
from our generous friends-clothing, kitchen ware, books, furniture,
other household goods, toys, holiday items, etc. These items become
the “inventory” for our shop and generate sales revenue which helps to
pay for animal care in our area. Please keep us in mind if you have
items you no longer need, if you are dealing with disposal of estate
items, etc. We need and rely on your generous donations all year long,
and they too can provide a tax benefit to you.
In all of these cases, please consult with your tax advisor or attorney
for advice and the details on how to handle such donations.
Why Rabies Shots
by Judith Harvell, AWL President
It’s the law for one thing. Rabies shots are inexpensive — often as low
as $10.00 — so why wouldn’t we protect our pets against something that
could kill them? Many pet owners do not realize this could save their
pet’s life.
Rabies is a serious disease caused by a virus, and is mainly a disease
of wild animals. The most common carriers of rabies are bats, skunks,
raccoons, foxes, and coyotes. Rabies is transmitted through the saliva
of an infected animal. Pets and humans get rabies when they are bitten
or possibly come in contact with the saliva of a rabid animal on an open
wound. For verification of rabies in an animal, the suspected animal’s
brain must be submitted to a lab for examination.
We humans shouldn’t approach or handle wild animals, especially
sick wild animals. We should stay away from animals that appear angry,
disoriented, or possibly foaming at the mouth.
Be sure you vaccinate your pets. Vaccination against rabies could save
your pet’s life should they be bitten by a rabid animal. Vaccination
should also be considered for humans whose activities bring them into
frequent contact with the rabies virus or possibly rabid animals. This includes animal control officers, wildlife rehabilitators, game wardens, park
rangers, and animal rescue personnel who venture
into disaster areas like post-Hurricane Katrina New Orleans, for example.
If a human, cat, or dog is bitten, there are many rules and regulations
that need to be followed. These vary from state to state. Procedures that
need to be followed for humans, cats, and dogs can be very complicated
and involved.
Should your pet be bitten by a possibly rabid animal your best course
of action is to contact local animal control, your pet’s veterinarian,
and the county health department for immediate advice and specific
information.

FOSTERING
by Jim and Sue Ann Dale, AWL Fostering Volunteers
The reward of fostering dogs and cats has changed our lives
forever. Saving and nurturing these creatures, who otherwise
would cease to be, is an uplifting feeling when they feel safe
with you and show their trust and devotion.
We have always had pets, both cats and dogs, but until our involvement with the Animal Welfare League 11 years ago, we
did not realize what an impact fostering can make. For each
animal you foster, not only are you saving its life, but making room for one more to be saved. One pet at a time adds
up, and in our case we sometimes have several fosters in our
care.
Another concern we would like to address is the worry people have about being tied down when they foster. AWL has
wonderful volunteers who are able to share the responsibility
of caring for the pet instead of boarding when situations arise,
such as vacations, illnesses, etc. In our case, we help foster a
wonderful hound dog named Sadie along with Bill and Sara
Ford, who are the primary caregivers. AWL will pay for a
complete veterinary check-up, necessary vaccinations, spaying and neutering, and other services that may be needed.
Grayson
Sadie
Bailey
Kitty perch
There are so many emotions connected with fostering it is
difficult to prioritize them. Just knowing that you saved a precious life means more than words can ever express. Animals
know when they have been rescued and are truly loved. Just
looking into their eyes and seeing their beautiful faces every
day and the gratitude they express is worth everything you
put into it. We cannot imagine a life without these wonderful
creatures in it.
If you have a place in your heart and home, please consider
fostering. Think about the lives saved and comfort given to a
homeless pet.
