Quarter 3 - Cleveland Animal Protective League
A nonprofit Humane Society serving Greater Cleveland and Cuyahoga County since 1913. Patter September 2012 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.” Continued on page 2 Pet Patter 12pgs Q30612.indd 1 7/16/12 2:56 PM Roo’s News Sharon Harvey and Roo 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.” 2 Pet Patter 12pgs Q30612.indd 2 7/16/12 2:56 PM 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. t y n n Our veterinary team gave Snowball the medical attention he needed Photo by: Kristin Gall and before long he was on our cat Severe ear mites caused Snowball’s adoption floor.

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!

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.” For dates and times, visit our website at www.ClevelandAPL.org. September 2012 Pet Patter 12pgs Q30612.indd 5 5 7/16/12 2:56 PM Community News 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 and won an assembly with Joe and Annie Thomas and Fee’s Kompany. 6 Pet Patter 12pgs Q30612.indd 6 7/16/12 2:56 PM v We Hope You Can Join Us For the Cleveland APL Gala: Cold Noses, Warm Hearts Fur Ball 2012 Photo by: Kristin Gall Adoptions Supervisor Jacky Jones gets a cat ready to go home during the Rockin’ Rescue adoption promotion held during Radiothon. e Photo by: Kristin Gall A just-adopted puppy poses with her new family.

Thank You Cleveland Indians... for hosting the 3rd Annual Puppypalooza—the first of two this year—at Progressive Field to benefit the Cleveland APL. It was a tail-wagging party at the baseball game on Wednesday, May 16, when the Cleveland Indians took on the Seattle Mariners at Progressive Field. Just before the game, all the pooches and their people paraded around the warning track on the field and then enjoyed the game from the Party Deck— and it sure was a party. More than 600 dogs and their people cheered on the Indians, who beat the Mariners 9-3. The event raised $1,765 for the Cleveland APL. It was a victory for everyone! WQAL - Q104 – Duck Pond and High Striker For again choosing the APL to be the beneficiary of funds raised from its booth at The 21st Annual Marc’s Great American Rib Cook-Off & Music Festival held Memorial Day weekend. Participants vied for prizes by picking a toy duck from a pool of water or hitting the bell at the top of the high striker. Our wonderful APL volunteers worked at the booth, helping us to raise much needed funds for the animals. Thanks to the generosity and efforts of everyone involved in these events, more than $5,600 was raised to help the Cleveland APL and our animals. 8 Pet Patter 12pgs Q30612.indd 8 7/16/12 2:56 PM A Did You Know?

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 Maxwell was with us 4 months 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 Frankie was with us 1 month. Adopted! 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 Jelly was with us 5 months and 15 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.
