A True
Rescue Story
Marlene, a neglected and severely
underweight dog, needed to be saved.
The Cleveland APL’s Chief Humane
Investigator rescued
the 1-year-old Boxer
mix from a yard where
she had no access to
water and appeared
to have an upper
respiratory infection.
Clearly, she needed a
family to love her. But
as fate would have
it, the family who
ultimately adopted
her needed Marlene
just as much.
Jennifer
Browning and
her family
were not
planning on
adopting a
dog, but an
e-mail she
received in
April about
our upcoming
Pledge for Pets
Radiothon led
Jennifer to
our website,
where she
saw a photo
of a very
skinny Marlene on our Adoptions
page. She pitched the idea of adopting
Marlene to her family–her kids voted
yes, but her husband voted no.
Jennifer, however, wasn’t ready to give
up. She convinced her husband to come
Letter from the CEO pg. 2
Q104 Radiothon Success pg. 6
Fur Ball 2012 pg. 7
Adopt Around the Clock pg. 9
to the Cleveland APL so they could meet
Marlene together. When Marlene was
brought into the room, Jennifer said,
“she immediately
went to my husband
and they played fetch
and she kissed him
like she knew he was
the one she had to
impress.”
It worked. “He asked
her if she wanted
to come home with
us and I will never
forget when she put
her paws on
his chest and
barked at him.
She wanted to
go home.”
That day
Marlene,
renamed Minnie,
went to her new
home, where
she met the
family’s other
dog, 4-yearold Boxer Lily.
“Immediately
the dogs kissed
and wrestled
and played as
if they were
always there together,” Jennifer
recalled. “Lily had been depressed for
the past year and a half since our other
Boxer passed, and Minnie has made
her active again. Not only did we save
Minnie, but I believe Minnie saved Lily.”

Letter from
the CEO
In the last issue of Pet Patter, I wrote about
the importance of working together toward
the one and only outcome that will make
the greatest, most sustainable difference
for homeless animals … creating a no-kill
community. In a no-kill community, private
humane societies, municipal shelters, rescue
groups, lawmakers, AND very importantly,
individual residents all understand and
embrace their unique roles in reducing
euthanasia at shelters and saving the lives
of homeless animals. They also team up
whenever possible.
At the Cleveland APL, we’ve put in place
a number of programs that are designed
not only to increase opportunities for
teamwork between our organization and
other organizations, but also between
our organization and caring members of
our community. One of those programs
is our Foster-to-Surrender (FtS) program.
Funded by a grant from the ASPCA® and
implemented as a pilot program in 2010,
it was designed to further engage Good
Samaritans who are trying to bring in
animals who we are going to struggle to
help—for instance, animals with contagious
diseases who we have nowhere to shelter
without risking the well-being of our
existing residents. A vast majority of these
animals are kittens. Through the FtS
program, we now ask these people to help
a little bit more by taking the animal(s) back
home for a couple of weeks, fostering them,
and treating them so they can come back in
healthy and ready to go up for adoption. In
exchange for their effort and compassion,
we provide all the food, litter, supplies, and
most importantly, medication they need,
along with our undying gratitude.
The program took a while to catch on. At
first people thought we were a little bit
nuts when we asked if they would take the
animals they were trying to surrender to
us back home for a while! But once they
understood the need, the realities, and what
a lifesaving difference they could make, they
joined the team! In the first year, more than
190 animals who we might not have been
able to help before received care thanks
to the FtS program and the 94 people who
embraced their lifesaving role. By the end
of 2011, the program’s second full year, 111
wonderful people had helped us to save
nearly 270 deserving animals. Already this
year, the program is hopping! I don’t know
about you, but for me this is the epitome of
lifesaving teamwork and another step taken
toward building a truly no-kill community.
We thank the ASPCA® for taking a chance
and providing the start-up funding that
allowed us to give this innovative program
a try. Now that the results are in, I’m
delighted to report that the more than 460
animals who are happy and healthy today
thanks to the FtS program have cast their
unanimous votes to keep it going – and
that’s certainly our plan! All we need now is
for you to continue to support the Cleveland
APL through general donations so that the
FtS program and a host of other lifesaving
programs will live on … along with the
animals they serve!
Continued from page 1
Since her adoption in April, Minnie
has put on much-needed weight and
is enjoying the life she deserves. She
loves car rides, eating ice cubes, playing
tug-of-war with Lily and cuddling. She
also knows several commands and is
working on learning more.
Noting that her husband was initially
against adopting a shelter dog,
Jennifer hopes her family’s story
will persuade others to adjust their
thinking. “Please,” she said. “If you are
considering getting a new pet, give
shelter animals a chance. They have so
much love to give, especially since they
may have not have been given the best
start in life, like Minnie.”

Living The Good Life
Snowball had gone through a tough
time–and it showed. The 10-year-old
white cat hadn’t been properly cared
for since one of his owners died and
the other became seriously ill.
Snowball had such severe ear mites
that his ears had become painful and
deformed. Fortunately, Snowball’s
owner agreed to surrender him to
one of our humane investigators, who
brought him to the Cleveland APL last
September.

Operation Nip-Tuck
On Saturday, June 2, as the Cleveland
APL was holding a reduced-fee cat
adoption promotion to cope with
the kitten population explosion that
happens every spring, a proactive
solution to the same problem was
taking place about a mile away.
Operation Nip-Tuck provided free spay/
neuter surgeries for cats in Cleveland’s
Tremont, Ohio City and Slavic Village
neighborhoods. A total of 98 cats were
spayed/neutered during the event at
the Cleveland City Kennel, which was
funded by a grant from the ASPCA®.
Sterilizing nearly 100 cats in just one
day will prevent the births of hundreds
more unwanted, homeless kittens
in the months and years ahead.
Operation Nip-Tuck was led by Amy
Beichler and Amanda Butts of the Public
Animal Welfare Society of Ohio (PAWS)
and made possible by a collaboration
among PAWS, the Cleveland APL,
Stautzenberger College, the Cleveland
City Kennel, and Cleveland City
Councilmen Tony Brancatelli and Joe
Cimperman, not to mention a legion of
incredible volunteers!

A Home for
Sweet Sadie
Just when Tami Graham thought her
animal family was complete – two
cats and a dog, all healthy and all
compatible – she met Sadie. The
11-year-old Chow Chow mix had been
surrendered to the Cleveland APL a
few weeks earlier because her owner
moved and couldn’t bring her along.
Tami and her son had come to the
shelter to interview for positions
in our volunteer program, but they
spotted Sadie through the glass
door to our dog adoption floor and
couldn’t resist going in to say hello.
After reading Sadie’s bio on her
kennel, Tami was even more taken
with her but still unsure about adding
to her own family. Noting that Sadie
had a wonderful disposition and was
already housetrained Tami thought
she would make a perfect first dog for
one of her co-workers.
c
The woman came to meet Sadie
and thought she was great, but she
couldn’t persuade her husband to
adopt an older dog with arthritis.
Meanwhile, Tami couldn’t get Sadie
out of her mind. She recalled that
while she had waited in the lobby for
her interview to start, “I could see her
in her cage through the door and I
could swear she was watching me the
whole time and she was saying ‘aren’t
you going to take me home?’”
Tami and her son talked about it, and
once Tami checked with her dog sitter
and was assured he would be willing
to watch two dogs, the decision was
made. Tami and her son came back to
the Cleveland APL and brought Sadie
home.
“Our animals (dog Lucy and cats Mario
and Mimi) were not sure about the
whole thing at first,” Tami said. “But
everyone has adjusted really well.
Sadie got right into the groove of our
schedule and is the sweetest dog.”
Sadie makes friends with everyone,
Tami said, and gets along with the
other animals, although she has
quickly learned the “don’t chase the
cat” command. In addition, Tami
said, Sadie has “perked up” since the
veterinarian suggested she go on
glucosamine for her arthritis.
“I think we both lucked out,” Tami
said. “She gets to be spoiled and have
a nice home and I get to have a very
loving, sweet dog.”

Radiothon
and Rockin’
Rescue
Fee’s Kompany, Q104’s morning show
team, had plenty of company as we
celebrated the 7th Annual Pledge
for Pets Radiothon May 13-14 at the
Cleveland APL. Allan Fee, Katherine
Boyd and Glenn Anderson hosted the
18-hour live broadcast, which raised
nearly $121,000 to help homeless
animals.
For the second consecutive year,
we held a Rockin’ Rescue adoption
promotion in conjunction with
Radiothon. This year’s promo resulted
in the adoption of 71 animals–39 cats,
31 dogs and one Guinea pig.
During 18 hours on the air, Fee’s
Kompany, along with guests including
Cleveland APL staff members,
volunteers and adopters, shared heartwarming, real-life stories that captured
the spirit of the Cleveland APL’s
mission, our animals and the special
people who rescue, rehabilitate and
care for them.
Over the past seven years, the Pledge
for Pets Radiothon has raised $936,000
for the animals at the Cleveland APL.
We are so grateful to Allan, Katherine,
Glenn and the entire Q104 team for
their continued commitment and
compassion in engaging their listeners
to open their hearts to our animals.
Leading up to the Radiothon, APL
supporters signed up to be Q Cash
Captains, Kids or Schools and collected
donations for the APL’s animals from
their families, friends and co-workers.
We were so grateful again this year
to have Travis Hafner of the Cleveland
Indians and his wife, Amy, sponsor
our Q Cash Kids program and to have
Joe Thomas of the Cleveland Browns
and his wife and APL board member,
Annie, sponsor our Q Cash School
program.
Our top fund-raising school was
Messiah Lutheran School in Fairview
Park, where Mrs. Moennich’s fourthgrade class collected $700. To celebrate
their fund-raising efforts, the students
won an assembly at their school with
Joe and Annie Thomas and Fee’s
Kompany.
Save the date! The 8th Annual Q104
Pledge for Pets Radiothon will take
place Friday and Saturday, May 10 and
11, 2013.
Fourth-graders from Messiah Lutheran School in Fairview Park raised $700

Become A Cage Sponsor!
Until They Find Their New Home and Family...
The Cleveland Animal Protective
League lovingly cares for thousands
of homeless, injured and abused
animals each year. For some, their
cage at the APL, complete with a
warm bed, toys, plenty of food and
water, and lots of TLC, is the only
“home” they have ever known. For
others, it’s a temporary home until

and 11 days.
Adopted!
they find the love of another family.
For all of them, it’s the reason
they’re getting a second chance. Our
annual cage sponsors bring hope and
comfort to our animals while they

wait for their future mom or dad to
adopt them and take them home—
permanently. We ask that you help us
to provide all of the care and love

days. Adopted!
they need while they are with us by
becoming a cage sponsor.
Your cage sponsorship will be
recognized with a plaque on
a cage in our cat, dog or small
mammal adoption center areas.
You may choose to make your cage
sponsorship in honor or in memory
of a special pet or person or you may
choose to advertise your business.
Cage sponsorships are renewable
every year.
At the Cleveland Animal Protective
League, healthy, friendly animals
stay with us until they are adopted.
We all know a cage in a shelter is
not a permanent home, but with
your cage sponsorship, we can make
it a temporary home away from
home until they have one of their
own by providing all the care that is
needed—and that they so rightfully
deserve.
For cage sponsorship opportunities
please see below.
