COMMUNITY EDUCATION FOR GIRL SCOUT TROOP 4082
Terry DallaValle, a volunteer for the Carl W. Nelson Animal Shelter, spoke to the 4th
and 5th grade Wonewoc Girls Scouts, about pet responsibilities. Information was
presented about her role at CWNAS, the 3 dogs, 5
cats, and 1 foster kitten that she has and what
she has to do to take care of them. The shelter’s
4 anchor programs of education, foster care,
elderly assistance, and the spay & neuter program
were explained. Age appropriate pet care and
responsibilities were explained through roleplaying and a drawing exercise. The scouts were
informed that the yearly cost to care for a cat
could be has high as $1,200.00, $2,500.00 for a
dog and that about 8-10 million dogs & cats are in shelters and about half areeuthaniz
ed each year. Each scout was given a choice of a coloring book entitled "Let’s be Safe
Around Dogs and Cats", donated by Culver’s of Mauston, or "Fido: Friend or Foe?",
donated by Leroy Holthaus Insurance & Financial Service of Mauston. The scouts
were educated on bite prevention
by teaching them ways to identify
different animal behavior. As they
left they were each given a stuffed
animal made by inmates at New
Lisbon Correctional.
We would like to thank Scout
Leader, Judy Pesz, and the entire
troop of Daisy, Brownie and Junior
Scouts for holding a Soup and
Sandwich Fundraiser in March that
raised $500.00 to benefit the Carl
W. Nelson Animal Shelter.

CWNAS Receives a $5,000.00 Grant
The Carl W. Nelson Trust Fund has
awarded a $5,000.00 grant to
CWNAS. The grant provides the
funds to have our animals checked
by a veterinarian, spayed or
neutered, and brought up to date
on vaccinations. It also provides
the funds to have the animals tested
for certain communicable diseases,
which helps prevent the spread of
these diseases to the general
population. CWNAS would like to
extend a big thank you to the Carl
W. Nelson Trust Fund trustees for
helping to ensure that we can carry
on our work to help the homeless
animals of Juneau County.

Maus ton H eads tart S tudents get Pet S afety Les s on
On April 6, the students at Mauston' s Headstart got a lesson in pet safety, compliments of
the Carl W. Nelson Animal Shelter (CWNAS). As part of their "I Love my Pet" learning
section, CWNAS
representative, Rosemary
Aney, visited the students
and talked with them about
being safe around their own
pets, and pets they may
meet in the community. The
children each received a
stuffed animal made by the
New Lisbon Correctional
Institution. The Carl W.
Nelson Animal Shelter
presents humane educational
programs to area youth
groups in an effort to teach
pet safety, compassion, and
responsibility to the
children. “CWNAS believes that changing the future of animal sheltering in Juneau County
begins with teaching the children responsible pet ownership at an early age”, said Aney.

Solo, SweetPea, Striker, and Seven were
Striker
abandoned in Mauston this winter. They were
in very poor condition when they were found,
but with loving care in a foster home, they are
now
healthy.
Seven
Despite
their
poor
beginning, these are amazing cats. They
love to play and get into trouble. Though
Seven
was a
little
Solo & SweetPea
anxious
at first, she has come out of her shell, and is
much more social now. She is playing like a
kitten with the rest of them. Seven's hair is
growing back and she will be a great pet.
Solo, SweetPea, and Striker are littermates
about 3 months old. Seven is about 1 year old.
