161 Malamutes In Care of Shelter

FALL
2011
Lewis & Clark Humane Society: Finding forever homes for furry friends since 1964 • www.mtlchs.org
161 Malamutes In Care of Shelter
I
t was the largest rescue in the shelter’s
history. One hundred sixty one dogs
and puppies were removed from a
breeder in Jefferson County in conjunction with staff from the Humane Society of
the United States and the Jefferson County
Sherriff office.
The dogs were transported in horse trailers to the shelter and staff settled them in to
their new homes. As word of their plight got
out, donations starting pouring in from
around the world—Italy, Brazil, England,
Canada—and local Helena (and even Bozeman!) businesses created fundraisers to
help care for the beautiful dogs.
In early November the animals were
moved to a new, indoor facility. Three new
staff members were hired to handle the
extra work, and the shelter continues to require donations to help with the extra expenses. Local fundraisers included a brew
and brat night at the Lewis & Clark Brewery, Malamute Munchies (a special dog biscuit offered up for sale at local retailers by
Lisa Fairman) and dog food brought in from
an Idaho convention by Dog Town.
The criminal case could take months to
resolve; potential adopters are asked to
monitor the shelter website www.mtlchs.org
for updates about the dogs, potential adoptions, and fundraisers.

Dear Friends,
What an amazing fall it has been. The highlight is, of course, the rescue of 161 malamutes and our being able to welcome them
into the shelter “family.” We were honored to
be asked to help the Jefferson County Sheriff ’s department on the rescue, and were so
lucky to be partnered by the incredible staff
of the Humane Society of the United States
who flew in staff to help first with the rescue
and then with the subsequent weeks of getting the dogs vet checked and settled into
their new home. We count these fine animal
advocates among our friends, and were lucky
to have been able to meet them and work
alongside with them. THANK YOU. The fine
people at PetSmart Charities also deserve a
big round of thanks for immediately jumping
in and trucking in two semis of dog crates,
bowls, leashes, collars and other items that
we needed. THANK YOU!
We also could not be more grateful to
the many animal lovers here and around
the world who stepped forward with donations, adoption offers, fundraisers, advice
and support. It was truly heartwarming to
see our Facebook page and website explode with concerned and passionate supporters who urged us on. THANK YOU!
Both those places remain the best option to
find out up to the minute information on
what’s up with the Mals.
Best wishes to you for a wonderful holiday season!

Pets and the Holidays
By Kris Fife
Pets and the holidays…I’m trying to think seriously here but the
first thing that comes to mind is the antlers I bought one season
for my cocker spaniels, Abby and Jasper.I had truly given myself a good gift because they looked delightful for the five seconds they would wear them…not even long enough to snap a
picture! These two did, however, think the tree
skirt was a lovely place to lie so before the presents appeared each year these two inhabited
that space wherever possible for their daily
naps…I do have this picture.
So I guess I should offer you something of
“training” value in this article about pets and the
holidays.If a puppy is in your holiday future a couple of tips bear mentioning.
realistic in the type of pet you pick and your expectations of
children. There are many good breed selection tools on the internet that can help you identify a good match for your family
in terms of exercise, grooming and trainability. If you start your
search here than it’s kind of like going to the grocery store with
a list and a budget. It will help you say no when something else
looks inviting.
Tip No. 2: Make sure to include a kennel, a 6-foot leash, a good
flat collar, a variety of toys (avoid vinyl or things with removable parts), and a baby gate or two. Save the cute bed for
next Christmas when the puppy has her teeth and bladder
under control. Crate training is the most humane and effective of potty training I have found. When used correctly, it
helps with communication and bonding and will get a puppy
on a schedule with minimum household damage.
Tip No. 1: The kids WILL go back to school and
that is also the window of time you can expect
for good follow through on caring for this
puppy. We see many dogs come into the shelter where parents just couldn’t “handle the
responsibility” because they assumed Junior
was going to be taking care of this puppy. Be
Tip No. 3: If a dog is really on your Christmas list, consider some of the “over one” crowd at the shelter. You
might miss the puppy stage but hey, after you go through
one you might wish you had! An older dog doesn’t necessarily come with baggage. Maybe they were someone’s Christmas happiness that grew up and met
unrealistic expectations. Happy holidays to all. I count
my dogs to be among my treasures each year as I ponder my many blessings.
Holiday Gift Certificates
Give the gift of a warm place to live, healthy food and loving
companionship to a homeless animal this year—buy a special gift certificate for someone on your list! Make a donation
in honor of someone or to memorialize a beloved pet, and
you’ll receive a beautiful commemorative card and a red envelope. Looks great peeking out of a stocking! Tell someone
YOU care about homeless animals this holiday season and
order a gift certificate today.

Can you adopt me?
Introducing six great residents in need of a forever home. They are available to meet you and show
you how wonderful they are, and how much joy they can bring to your life. Please come visit Oliver,
Giselle, Hercules, Christian, Stanley and Mables today!
Oliver
Giselle
Hercules
Meet HERCULES, a loving, loyal Pitbull who
was turned in to the shelter because things just
weren't working out in his home. Hercules
knows all of his obedience training and is a very
gentle dog with people, but absolutely cannot
live with other dogs. Hercules is a very active
dog who loves to go on walks and hikes. Hercules loves to play with any toy you can give
him when he is in the mood, but is also a pretty
laid back dog and can mellow out and just hang
out with the family. Hercules would do best
with children who are in their teens or older, but
would really prefer a home without kids. Hercules would like an active home where he can
get plenty of exercise as well as love and affection. A consultation with our trainer is required
before Hercules can leave the shelter.
Meet GISELLE, a loving, playful Shepherd cross
who was turned in by her owners because, unfortunately, she was not getting along well with
the family cats. Giselle has lived with other
dogs in her previous home and tends to do well
with them, but cannot live in a home with cats.
Kids don't seem to bother Giselle, as she has
lived with them in her previous home. Giselle
has graduated from obedience training and
knows all her commands. She has never had an
accident in her home or here at the shelter and
seems to be completely potty trained. Giselle
Christian
Stanley
Mables
loves to play especially with tennis balls and
squeaky toys. She may bark at strangers but
warms up quickly once she gets used to you.
Giselle likes to leave the yard every once in a
while, so she may need training to keep her in
the yard for extended periods of time. She is
looking for an active home where she can get
plenty of exercise and well as some quality
down time with her new family.
perfectly content with just hanging out. She
has lived with children but was a little overwhelmed so children would need to be over the
age of 8. Mables would fit very nicely into a
quiet, not active home, with a person that she
could dote on. She does well with other felines
and mellow dogs. In foster care. If you're interested let the shelter know and we can set up
time to meet her.
OLIVER is a 68 pound cutie who would love to
be your exercise buddy. Oliver is a little standoffish at first but warms up quickly and is very
affectionate once he knows you. He has nice
leash manners and is probably house trained.
Oliver would make a very nice companion for
adults or older children. Enrolled in the HumanAnimal Bond Program at Carroll College! Update: Now back at the shelter.
Oh Stanley! STANLEY is 11 pounds of loving,
dignified hunk. He has gorgeous green eyes,
likes lying on his back in your lap and accepting
lots of belly rubs. Stanley has this dignified romantic vibe he puts off. He is very affectionate,
smart, and handsome. The only quirk of Stanley's is his half tail. What he lacks in tail he
makes up in a huge full heart. Stanley would be
good with a mellow canine, other cats or a child
over the toddler stage.
After 9 years of growing up in one family since
the time she was a kitten, MABLES arrived at
Lewis and Clark Humane Society because her
family was moving. Mables is very aloof at the
situation she was pushed into. When you first
meet Mable you'll notice her big gray eyebrows
and her striking smoky gray and black hair. She
is very shy but given the time and patience she
is an absolute sugar. Mables will curl up in your
arms and let you stroke her for hours at a time
4 Lewis & Clark Humane Society
Meet our big, green eyed, handsome buff boy.
He arrived at the shelter as a stray in the beginning of June and received the name CHRISTIAN
from his big full face that gives him a "lions
mane" so we named him Christian after the male
lion in the movie Born Free. Christian is a calm,
friendly and independent feline. He would do
well in a home with other felines, feline friendly
dogs and kids over the age of 6.

HAPPY ENDINGS: Captain, the Three-Legged Cat
One of our Board members, Karla Ritten, is a regular foster mom to animals who aren’t quite ready
or healthy enough to be put up for adoption. Here she shares a wonderful story about how an injured
cat found his forever home—with her!
“I stopped at the Shelter on Dec. 31, 2009 to
drop off a donation. I was told about a three
legged kitten and asked if I would like to
foster him. He had just come back from the
Animal Center where he had had surgery to
close his wound and to be neutered. Apparently he had been brought into the shelter
by a man who said that he had found him
with his right front leg ripped off three days
earlier. He had not taken the kitten to a vet
but since he hadn’t died he brought him to
LCHS after three days without any treatment. Shelter staff decided to take him to
the Animal Center for treatment. No one
knows what happened to his leg, but the
wound was very infected and dirty.
When he got back to the shelter, staff
wanted to get him into a foster home so he
could heal in a quiet environment where he
wouldn’t be as stressed. His wound needed
to be warm compressed to help leach the infection out. He was scruffy and dirty looking when I saw him. A couple saw him that
day and wanted to adopt him but didn’t
want to deal with the medical issues while
he was healing. The plan was for me to foster him and get the wound healed and once
the stitches were taken out three weeks
later the couple would adopt him. Unfortunately, that adoption fell through.
When he arrived at the house he was
very scared. We kept him isolated in our
“kitten” room for the three weeks while his
leg healed. He hid at first and except for the
times I needed to clean his wound we let
him hide until he felt comfortable being out
with us in the room. He came from the shelter with a cow toy that he bonded with and
kept near him for several months.
After his stitches were out we introduced him to our three cats so he could explore the rest of the house. Our male cat,
Linus, that he was great. Linus was only
about a year old and he and Captain (the
name I started calling him after he was at
the house for a few days—Captain Hook or

WISH LIST
Feeling generous today?
Here are a few items
that the shelter is
always in need of.
Your kind gestures of
the “little things” are
always appreciated!
If you can help, please

Avenue location during
shelter hours:
Captain Courageous) played together as
soon as they met. Linus could be rough with
his sisters but was always very gentle playing with Captain, who followed him everywhere.
Shelter staff and I agreed that Captain
should not go back into the shelter environment, and thus he was put on the website for
adoption. I knew from having him at the
house that he was shy and needed to be allowed to approach people on his own terms.
He did not like being picked up and held (and
still doesn’t care for it much) so I didn’t think
he would do well in a home with kids who
might not respect his needs. He won’t let people he doesn’t know touch him. Sometimes he
will still even run from me and my husband.
He likes to get attention in certain rooms and
not others. When he wants it he runs into the
TV room and lies on the rug and looks back at
you. That is his invitation to pet and pat him.
I also knew from taking Captain into the
Animal Hospital to get his stitches out that he
would eventually need further surgery to remove the rest of his leg, an expense someone
might not knowingly want. After we adopted
him, I took him to our vet who recommended
that the rest of the leg be removed. He felt it
would be better to have it done while Captain
was still young and that bone with nothing
but skin over it would be painful for him. He
was having issues of it being on the floor
when he tried to eat and trying to lift it up so

it wouldn’t touch. Sometimes when
he would run it the leg stump would
stick out at all angles. We had the leg
removed about a week after we
adopted him, so back into the “kitten” room he went until the staples
came out. It made a big difference in
his balance and mobility after the leg
and shoulder where completely removed. Captain has been an incredibly easy fit into the house and is just
a beautiful cat. As long as people visiting ignore him he will come around
to be with everyone.”

By Jo Bristow, Volunteer Manager
As we come to the end of another year here
at the Lewis and Clark Humane Society, I
want to take this opportunity to thank all
the many volunteers, who so generously
give of their time and talents.
Volunteers are the backbone of the shelter programs. Without them, many shelter
programs would not be sustainable. Programs benefit the overall emotional, physical
and mental wellbeing of the shelter animals.
Listed are a few created by volunteers:
 Toys & Treats: Interactive toys, which
stimulate the dogs intelligence
 Kong-Icle: Designed to take down dogs
stress/anxiety level
 Turkey-Pops: For dogs experiencing
stress or lack of food interest
 Outreach: Showcases dogs/cats to the
public
 Play Groups: Teaches dogs to socialize
with other dogs
 Wading Pool Play time: Allows the dogs
down time for water play
 Doggie Notes: Notes recorded by volunteers regarding dogs behavior and
personalities, which are then placed in
dog’s portfolios
 Toys: Rope toys, fetch toys, etc.
Other programs include:
 Dog assessments
 Paws-ability
 Spay & Neuter Clinics
 Dog Walker Mentors

Puppy assessments & play time
The Quarterly Volunteer meeting held on
Sunday, October 16th, was well attended.
The meeting allows staff and volunteers to
work together toward the mutual goal of
benefiting all the animals at LCHS. Many
comments and suggestions were offered. In
fact, the possibility of two new programs
being instituted arose from these comments.
As we move into a new year, it has become paramount that we seek dedicated
volunteers. Volunteers who are flexible with
their time, willing to cross train, be a team
player and most especially we seek retention of volunteers in order to maintain continuance of these vital programs. We have
elected to move ahead into the next phase
of volunteering here at LCHS. As such, we
will no longer be conducting monthly volunteer orientations, but instead request a
Pre Qualifying Volunteer Application be
completed and return to Volunteer Manager via email at: [email protected]
or to the shelter. Upon review of applications, interviews will be set and based on interviewing process; training will follow
along with a tour of the shelter. If you have
any questions concerning this process,
please email Jo Bristow, Volunteer Manager
at the above email address.
On behalf of LCHS, staff and myself a
big thank you to all the volunteers, who so
generously give of their time; not to mention their hearts to the shelter animals. It is
very gratifying to observe their concern and
experience their generosity.
Ways to help the animals
A gift to the shelter is a gift to thousands of abandoned dogs and cats, patiently waiting to find
their “forever” friend. Donations of items from our wish list (see page 5 ), appreciated stock,
memorials, tributes and volunteering are all ways you can make a difference in the life of a
homeless animal. We are very grateful to everyone who helps. Thank you!
A special way to make a lasting tribute is through membership in the The Lewis & Clark Legacy
Society, a group of special individuals who make arrangements in their estate planning for a gift
to the shelter. Such a gift helps provide quality and compassionate care to homeless animals.
These gifts live on, assuring a legacy of care and commitment to animal welfare that extends past
an individual’s life. If you are interested in providing for animals in your estate planning, talk to
your financial advisor or call the shelter’s Development Director, Liz Harrison at 442-1660.
