Your donations made it happen!
We’re all a work in progress and Ranger Tex is no different. Your donations
and support have meant that Tex gets
the individualized care he needs.
Tex first came into the Humane Society in July. Despite
his handsome
good looks that
include one
blue and one
brown eye,
Tex hasn’t had
it easy. With his
sleek Dalmatian
heritage, you’d think
a family would never
let him go. Yet nervous-natured Tex was
adopted only to be returned for being destruc-
tive. His anxiety became so acute that
he wouldn’t come out of his kennel for
a walk with volunteers.
Humane Society behavior program
coordinator Julie DeNucci wanted
to evaluate him more carefully and
kept him by her side during the
day for observation.
She found that he
responds best to
those who are
relaxed around
him. And that
he does want
to bond with
people but easily
gets confused and
fearful.
Julie determined
that Tex would be best served in the
attentive and stable environment of a
foster care family, where he currently
resides. He’s getting the calm attention
of a family that’s helping him become
better adjusted so that his next adoptive family will keep him for life.
Foster care volunteer Gina Shaw of
Honolulu regularly provides progress
reports on Tex. He’s made big strides
in small ways. He’s learned to relax
enough to wag his tail, slept out of
his kennel and hasn’t dashed back to
it regularly in fear. And he now takes
treats out of Gina’s hand.
Your donations have made it possible
for Tex to get the tender, loving care
he deserves. Mahalo nui loa.
Donate a pet toy today
for animals in need this holiday season
Toys bring joy to homeless animals so the Humane Society is
asking for donations so that every
pet adopted during the holiday
season can head to their new
home with a special gift. Clubs,
schools, groups, companies and
others are asked to adopt this Humane Society project and serve
as collection sites and host
toy drives.
“Our goal is 500 toys,”
says adoptions supervisor
Jamie Ehia. “We want every animal adopted this holiday season
to go home with a bag full of toys
from caring animal lovers.”
Made-for-pet toys can be dropped
off 24 hours a day at the Humane
Society. Suitable toys for dogs include Kong toys, Nylabones, and
sterilized beef bones.
Suitable toys for cats
include anything
without string.
Hawaii Homeschool Association organized families, which
collected 50 toys for the animals in support of the holiday
toy drive.
President’s Message
Pets offer inspiration during tough times
There seems to be a great need for
hope and joy this holiday season.
And I’ve never needed to look any
farther than my own family of pets
for a little inspiration.
health issues. What started out as fostering resulted in adoption. With his
crooked tail that wags sideways, he’s
always poised for the opportunity to
jump in your arms. He just can’t seem
to get enough attention no matter
how much we play.
to all of our lives.
Happy holidays from our family to
your’s.
This holiday
season I invite
you to meet my
family. Bernard
is my beloved
cat companion
of 15 years. He
sleeps with at
least one paw touching my arm, and
offers a kiss to my nose only to bite it
a second later. Such is the temperamental love of cats.
Umi was a feral
colony cat who
arrived to the
Humane Society
in a trap. We’re
not sure if he
was just too
tame but he was
quickly adopted
only to return again in a trap! Apparently, he enjoyed his stay at the shelter much better than life in a home
or on the streets. So Umi makes
his home with us and enjoys walks
through my garden on his leash.
Pilikea is the
baby of the
family. He
came into
the shelter
with serious
With all these feline personalities at
play, Daisy was a welcomed addition.
She came in to my life as a stray from
Waimanalo who was never reclaimed.
When I adopted her, 40 pounds (now
70 pounds!) of joy came bounding in
I have many blessings that inspire me
daily but nothing fuels my passion
for my work and life like my dog and
three cats.

of the one thing we can count on
in these turbulent times – our pets’

National expert links animal cruelty
to violence against humans
Dr. Randall Lockwood, a national
expert on the relationship between
animal cruelty
and interpersonal
violence, was in
Hawaii urging
law enforcement
officials, animal protection and social
service agencies to work collaboratively.
For more than 30 years, Lockwood
has worked with humane societies
and law-enforcement agencies. He has
testified in numerous trials involving animal cruelty and the treatment
of animals in relation to other crimes
such as dog fighting, child abuse, domestic violence and homicide.
Lockwood’s Hawaii visit was sponsored by the Hawaiian Humane Society. While here, he presented irrefutable evidence about the link between
animal cruelty and domestic violence.
He met with representatives of domestic violence organizations as well
as more than 40 representatives of the
prosecutor’s office.
In his presentation he offered a general
profile of abusers. Citing the Massachusetts SPCA’s analysis of 268 prosecuted animal abuse cases, 27 percent
of abusers were minors and 56 percent
were under age 30. Nearly all (97 percent) were male.
Numerous studies were referenced
confirming that violence against
animals escalates quickly to domestic
violence. Pet cruelty is often an effective tool that abusers use to intimidate
their victims. A survey of more than
100 women in Utah shelters found that
4
“It has long been accepted among professionals
who must assess dangerous populations that the
best predictor of future behavior is past behavior.
A past history of violence is the single most important predictor of future violence.”
– FBI Supervisory Special Agent Alan C. Brantley
family pets were threatened, harmed or
killed in 70 percent of cases. Another
study found that in families with child
abuse, animal abuse was also reported
in 88 percent of homes.
Lockwood makes a compelling case
that intervention of animal abuse is
likely to save more human lives. Law
enforcement and the court system are
wise to treat animal abuse as much
more than a minor offense with penalties on par with those of traffic ticket
violations. He cited author and expert
George Larder, Jr.: “Perhaps the biggest
flaw in our criminal justice system
today is its inattention to supposedly
minor crime, its failure to deal with
deviant behavior that disrupts
communities and is often the first step
to clearly serious crimes of violence.”
Lockwood emphasized actions that
can easily be integrated to violence
intervention programs with the support of law enforcement and animal
protection services. His key recommendations were as follows: include
pets in safety planning information;
establish record of ownership and care
for animals; help prepare for housing
of pets after departure; and establish
a protocol for assistance from law enforcement or animal control if animals
are left behind.
As FBI Supervisory Special Agent Alan
C. Brantley stated, “It has long been accepted among professionals who must
assess dangerous populations that the
best predictor of future behavior is past
behavior. A past history of violence is
the single most important predictor of
future violence.”
Hawaiian Humane Society investigates all reports of animal abuse and
provides emergency pet foster care
for those fleeing domestic violence
through its PALS Program.
Since 2006, several
states have established
protection order laws
that specifically allow
pets to be included.
Connecticut
California
Illinois
Maine
Nevada
New York
Tennessee
Vermont
Washington
And the survey says ...
This year your donations funded an
important community survey that
polled public attitudes about the
Humane Society and pet ownership.
Ward Research conducted the study so
that the Society could gain feedback
and insight on community awareness,
attitudes and behaviors.
Here are some of the key findings.
Nearly 2 in 3 Oahu households
own pets (64%; up 8 percent
since 2005), with dog owners
outnumbering cat owners
by more than 2-to-1 (47%
versus 19%). Dog ownership has grown steadily to
47% of households (up from
24% in 1993) and continues to
be most prevalent in Oahu’s Windward
and Ewa/Leeward communities.
Resident perceptions of the Humane
Society remain strong. Over 90% agree
that the Society takes in and finds
families for homeless animals, strives
to protect all animals, and rescues the
injured.
4 out of 5 respondents (80%)
continue to feel strongly
that animal companionship is important (up 6%
from 2005).
Recognition of the
Humane Society as a
source of new pets remains
high, with the Society leading all other
sources in total mentions of where to
get a new pet.
Two major misperceptions
about the Humane Society
were revealed in the study.
45% of survey respon-
dents mistakenly think the Hawaiian Humane
Society is part of a
Mainland-based organization.
40% of respondents think
that the Humane Soci-
ety is a government agency, which it is not.
A dog’s day at Makapu‘u lighthouse
On Saturday, Oct. 4 the Humane
Society celebrated the return of
dogs on path with a morning hike
to the Makapu‘u lighthouse.
Supporters gathered at the newly
erected sign established by the
Humane Society that reminds dog
walkers to pick up after their pet
and keep their dog leashed.
If you would like to be a part of keeping Makapu‘u pet-friendly or would
like to be part of broader island-wide
initiative for pets in public places, contact Vanessa Golding-Fox at 356-2247
or [email protected].

PetWalk raised more than $80,000
Those with a heart for the animals brought donations and their
pets to Magic Island for a 2-mile walk through Magic Island and
Ala Moana Park. The event celebrated a major community effort
by supporters to collect donations for the Humane Society.
Festivities included pet games, entertainment and refreshments.
Special thanks to sponsors KITV, KSSK, The Honolulu Advertiser
and PetCo for their support and sponsorship. A few of the many
outstanding fundraising teams included Kalama Pups, Rockin’
Paws of Hard Rock Café, Kaiser Permanente Ohana, GEICO and
the U.S. Navy-Wookies Friends. This year more than $21,000 was
raised online through individual fundraising web pages.
A very special mahalo to the City & County of Honolulu for
granting the Society a one-day exemption to allow pets in the
park at Magic Island and Ala Moana.
Mahalo to our partners:

YMCA gets an A+ from the animals
“Adopt the Humane Society” has been the mantra of
youth education initiatives led
by Billie Lueder, manager
of educational
outreach. The
only way to make
a huge difference and teach as many
students as possible about compassion
and responsibility is to get schools and
programs to incorporate humane education into their existing curriculum.
Billie Lueder’s recent presentation on the connection between
humane values and personal
character education inspired
YMCA’s leadership to share
what they
learned with their A+ program directors. This resulted in the adoption
of humane values curriculum into
activities for all 5th and 6th graders
enrolled in A+.
The Humane Society specializes in
customized education plans that capitalize on children’s passion for animals
and meet teachers’
educational goals.

Supporters sponsor classroom
materials that teach kindness
Recent headlines tell the story of
school funding cutbacks but the Humane Society is ensuring that dozens
of classrooms are getting free teaching
material.
This September the Humane Society launched its Adopt-a-Classroom
program where donors can earmark
their gifts for 9-month subscriptions to
Kind News, a grade school magazine
that teaches kids about kindness to
animals. Thirty-two Oahu classrooms
benefited in 2008.
The classroom newspaper features
articles, activities, puzzles and celebrity
interviews that emphasize the importance of kindness, and teach children
about the value of compassion, responsibility and respect.
Benefactors are all ages and backgrounds. Sixteen-year-old Raven Matsushita is a Kaimuki High School ju-
nior who donated a subscription
to Ewa Beach Elementary. “I
love animals and the best
way to make their lives
better is to teach future
generations how to be
kind,” says Matsushita.
Ewa Beach Elementary teacher Jennifer Pimentel
received her first issue of Kind
News and shared it with her peers.
Teachers were so pleased with the
publication, it resulted in the entire
second grade class adopting the
newspaper as part of its curriculum
and connecting it to the State’s health,
reading and language arts teaching
standards.
“We’re exposing an entire community
of second graders to important values
while meeting some of our requirements for teaching,” said Pimentel.
“It’s a win win. And nothing excites
the kids more than a lesson involving
animals. It’s such a natural fit.”
Supporters interested in sponsoring a
$30 9-month subscription for a classroom can contact education@
hawaiianhumane.org or 356-2206.
Teachers can fill out the application at

Nature of cat-dog differences is
territory versus hierarchy
For the many who share their lives
with both cats and dogs, we’re often
amazed at how two beloved creatures
in the same household could be wired
so differently.
Take Kimo the dog and Kawehi the
cat as an example. When Kimo was
adopted, he learned basic commands
such as come and lay down in just
a few minutes. Kawehi on the other
hand took a few months and several
cans of cat treats to learn how to walk
on leash. To her credit, she required no
training in how to use a litter box.
Cats and dogs are just not wired the
same and our relationship is so much
richer when we modify our approach to them based on their innate
differences.
Dogs are social creatures that are happiest as a pack and who operate in a
very clear hierarchy with a leader and
followers. Hopefully, your dog
views you as the leader and
not the other way around.
What makes dogs so distinctly
different from cats is that
a dog’s attachment is to his
family and much less to his
territory.
For example, a dog taken to
his owner’s office for the day
is probably just as happy as
when at home with his human
companion. By comparison, a
cat taken to work is more likely to be fearful and anxious.
that felines are extremely territorial.
Cats don’t develop strong pack structures where leadership is important.
Feral cats that you often see in colonies
are actually mostly solitary creatures
that hunt alone. The members of a
colony share a common territory
much more than the establishment of
a cohesive pack. This is part of why
moving homes is so traumatic for cats
and requires a gradual introduction to
a new residence, and in-house confinement for a couple of days to avoid him
fleeing in search of his old turf.
Understanding the differences in how
cats and dogs are hard wired can help
owners better understand why their
animals behave the way they do. It also
presents an opportunity for owners
to understand how important it is to
establish leadership and foster socialization with your dog. As for cats, a
secure and comfortable territory is
essential.
Even more important than appreciating cat-dog differences, it’s important to realize that they’re even more
different from us. From the day they
come in to our lives, we give them a
name and knowingly or not, we also
give them a gender identity and assign
personality characteristics. In doing so,
we attempt to humanize them.
We apply human solutions, often emotional ones, to pet issues. We coddle a
nervous dog or scold a cat for scratching the couch. In doing so, we simply
reward a dog for being nervous and
encourage kitty to avoid you but not
the couch.
Just as you wouldn’t want your loved
one to misinterpret your needs as if
you were another species, understanding the nature of your furry beasts is
key to meeting your pets’ needs on
their level.
“What makes dogs
so distinctly different from
cats is that a dog’s attachment
is to his family and
much less to his territory.”
On the other paw, anyone
who has heard the hair-raising
sounds of a cat fight knows

and every day. 100% of your gift stays in the islands for
