ideas about what works and what doesn’t work in a
shelter environment. Lisa has 15 years of experience
working in animal rescue, including 4 years with the
Dane County Humane Society. Lisa was accompanied by
Mary Paul Long, who is our capital campaign advisor.

Ziggy
Ziggy, “the clown”, will entertain
you! He loves to carry wadded up
paper towels in his mouth, chase
balls, and attack his littermates!
And when he is done playing, he
loves a lap to curl up on. He is a
black short hair, 7 months old, is
neutered, and current on shots.

Our Thanks to
Timber Creek
Photography
for supplying some
of the adorable
pictures used in this
newsletter and on
our website.
Mia
Meet Mia, a gentle
little girl. She is a
pretty medium long
hair gray, white, and
tan tabby. Mia is 5
months old, has been
spayed, and is up to
date on shots. Mia
was an outdoor cat,
so she was a little
shy, but she is coming
around in her foster
home.
This is MooMoo. One look at her spots and you'll know why we
call her MooMoo. She is a female, about 4 months old, and has
been spayed and is current on shots. She gets along well with the
other kittens in the foster home and is very active and playful.
Please contact our Foster Care Coordinator at 608-847-4060 or
email [email protected] for adoption information, or to
learn about becoming a foster home for CWNAS.

Ruffy and Tuffy are such
cute twin brothers!! They
eat together, play together
all day long and at bedtime
they sleep together too.
They are neutered and
current on shots. They are
quite talkative and
expressive and love human
contact. Ruffy and Tuffy
must be adopted together.

This sweet little boy
was found on Grove

He has an injured

he is quite young
and we call him
Casper.

CWN AS CON TI N U ES EDU CATI ON EFFORT
Changing the future of animal sheltering through
education, has been a primary goal of the Carl
W. Nelson Animal Shelter since its foundation in
2005. Accordingly, CWNAS volunteers, Ann
June and Rosemary Aney, spoke to 50 Mauston
Summer School students on July 27. The students
learned about the over population of stray
animals in Juneau County, how so many animals
end up homeless, and what could be done to
help them. The children came up with many good
ideas on how to reduce the number and help the
animals in shelters including: spaying and
neutering all domestic pets; donating to animal
shelters; holding fund raisers for an animal
shelter; adopting from a shelter; and
Ann June holds Surrie while students line up to pet him.
volunteering at a shelter. Students
were encouraged to consider the
long term care needed for an
adopted animal, and were told,
“Think before you adopt!”.
Caleb June, son of Rob and Ann June, “Surrie”
June, a shelter cat adopted by the June family,
and “Callie”, a kitten currently being fostered by
the June family, assisted in the presentation.
Exhibiting their calm and gracious nature, Surrie
and Callie were perfect examples of how cats
that have a bad start in life can become
wonderful additions to the family.
We wish
everyone Safe
and
Happy Holidays!

VOLUNTEERS,
OUR GREATEST RESOURCE!
We want to thank the people who pitched in at
the new building after we purchased it this
summer. In addition to sweeping, mopping,
and washing windows, there was grass to cut,
a dumpster full of garbage to be cleared out, a
propane tank to install, issues with the well to
take care of, and utilities to switch over. Thanks
to Kim Christopherson, Bonnie Kranz, Deb
Palmer and granddaughters, Ann June, Jan
Brendle, John Dalla Valle, Terry Dalla Valle,
John Flint, Deb Flint, Bruce Aney, and
Rosemary Aney who all worked at various jobs
to spruce up our new property and prepare it
for the next phase.
Walkers and dogs participating in the
“Hound Hustle” prepare to set off on
the trail at Hustler Fest in August.
