MUCH Needed Funds
On July 21, the hottest day of the year, our
shelter air conditioning unit decided to call
it quits. Our unit in the main kennel area
was totally out of service – the damage so bad
that the unit melted the socket to the wall.
We cannot say thank you enough to our
wonderful partners at John’s Heating and Air
Conditioning in Freeport who raced to the
shelter to diagnose the problem. After the
problem was diagnosed, John’s did everything that they could to ensure a quick installation of our new system. Arriving at the
shelter in the wee hours of the morning on
Saturday, July 24, John’s had a new unit for
us and the animals were enjoying the cool air
by the end of the day.
We would also like to send a special thank
you to Chelsie Schultz and Lower Burrell
No. 3 for bringing exhaust fans to circulate
the air as we waited for the new unit to be
installed. A special thank you to the Westmoreland County Animal Response Team
(CART) for their backup and efforts to find
us extra portable units if needed. A special thank you to everyone who spread
the word about our needs and to everyone
who donated to the air conditioning fund!
The cost of our new unit was around $7,000.
So far we have raised $2900 – not bad – but
we still have a long way to go to cover the
costs of the new unit. Please help us raise the
additional $4100 dollars so that we may continue to house, feed and medically care for
the animals in our community. If you would like to make a donation towards
the installation and new air conditioning
unit, please send your donation to: Animal
Protectors of Allegheny Valley, 533 Linden
Avenue, New Kensington, PA 15068. Please
write “air conditioner” in the memo.
If you would like to donate online, visit

and where you would like that donation to
be used. Please designate your donation to
the air conditioner costs.
Endolyn’s Story
Endolyn is an example
of how Animal Protectors goes that extra mile
to help animals in dire
need.
It was a hot day in May
when employees at a local bank saw Endolyn lying in the street,
obviously in distress. Animal Protectors
was called to action and swiftly responded.
It was obvious that Endolyn had been hit
by a car and was in shock when Animal
Protectors arrived. His pupils were two
different sizes and he was near death. He
was immediately placed on IV steroids and
warmed fluids, which stabilized him. The
following week, he received surgery on his
broken leg, which required placement of a
pin. Endolyn’s initial life-saving treatment
was done at the shelter at a rough cost of
only $10, but the bone surgery needed to
be done at a veterinary office. The bill for
that surgery totaled $500. Since Endolyn’s
age is over 1 year, his adoption fee was a mere
$50, just a fraction of what was spent to make
him well.
Many thanks to the caring employees at Citizen’s Bank in Leechburg who chose not to look
the other way when seeing an injured animal
and for making him comfortable until help arrived. Thanks also to the family that adopted
Endolyn and welcomed him into their home.

“It’s Not Easy Being Me”
Kermit has severe environmental and insect allergies
– he is allergic to just about
everything from peanut butter,
wheat, and dairy to sunlight
and bug bites. It’s a tough life
to have, but Kermit always has a positive outlook,
always presenting himself as an energetic pup.
Kermit was originally adopted in the summer of
2010 with an agreement that his owners would
bring Kermit back to the shelter regularly for allergy shots, vet visits and any other allergy medication that Kermit would need throughout his
lifetime. Eventually, his owners learned how to
give Kermit the medicine themselves and the
care was in their hands.
Unfortunately, Kermit’s owners gave him away in
January and his new owners just could not care
for him the way he required. In June, with Kermit’s medical information in hand, a Humane
Agent brought him back to us, a scabby, uncomfortable, malnourished dog.
Upon arrival at the shelter, Kermit’s ears were
scratched raw and were bloody, his chest in the
same condition. And he is now about 20 pounds
underweight – Kermit’s current weight is about
59 pounds. We’d like to see him gain at least 20
pounds or more to be considered a healthy dog.
The monthly cost of Kermit’s care is two times
the amount of a “normal” shelter resident.
His initial intake care was estimated to be around
$500. He had many rounds of testing, medicated
baths and medication. In order to put weight on
Kermit and discourage allergic reactions, Kermit is on special food that costs roughly $50 per
month. Monthly testing to monitor his allergies
is around $75. Kermit also requires daily medication that costs around $40 per month.
Kermit is available for adoption for the small fee
of only $100. All of the care and medication he
requires will be provided by the shelter. We estimate that it will cost us a minimum of $170 per
month to keep Kermit’s allergies at a comfortable
level. Won’t you help us help Kermit?
Proper Tick Removal
What to do if you or a companion
animal is bitten by a tick.
Fall means yet another tick season, and veterinary practices throughout Western PA are
reporting higher incidences of tick-borne illnesses such as Lyme Disease. While preventative measures are wise, tick checks and proper
tick removal are key elements in reducing the
risk of tick borne illnesses.
u
Tick checks are key! Ticks prefer warm and
dark areas such as under necks, under arms,
groin, and belly.
u
Promptly remove ticks slowly straight out
with fine-point tweezers or a special tickremoval tool, applied as close to the skin as
possible.
DO NOT squeeze the tick’s body or attempt to remove it with your fingers.
u
u
DO NOT apply heat, alcohol, petroleum
jelly/Vaseline, peroxide, or any other substance to the area before the tick is removed; aggravating a tick in this way may
cause it to regurgitate into the bloodstream,
increasing chances for infection.
u
Antiseptics can be used on the site of a tick
bite AFTER the tick has been removed.
u
You can save the tick in a sealed plastic bag
or a small bottle. Show the tick to your
doctor or veterinarian to aid in the identification process. Some human and animal
doctors will prescribe antibiotics as a preventative measure.
u
Monitor the area for skin irritation or rashes, though the absence of a rash does not
guarantee a tick borne illness hasn’t been
spread.
u
Be wary of symptoms such as cold/flu,
weakness, joint pain or swelling, poor appetite, and lethargy.

Chew On...
Onions and garlic may
be bad for your pet.
It happens all the time. We
finish our dinner and either
put the plate down for the
dog to lick up the remnants
or our cat jumps up and takes
over from where we left off.
Now if you’re an animal lover that’s fine with this
type of behavior you might think that whatever
leftover our animal companion is eating is fine
because they seem to like it. Unfortunately this
is not always the case. A cat or dog’s judgment
isn’t always up to par with ours, and frankly, if it
tastes good, then why not eat it?
Most of us have heard that chocolate is a big nono when it comes to both cats and dogs. But
did you know that onions and garlic fit in that
category? You may find that some animal treats
have small traces of these bulbs in them. So how
much is too much? According to the ASPCA
Poison Control Center there isn’t an exact science to this answer. Instead, it’s suggested that
we avoid giving them to our animal companions
altogether. Luckily we won’t need to worry about
Fido or Kitty digging in the garden for these delectables anytime soon; after all, they aren’t that
desirable.
There are, however, other foods that might be
more attractive to a cat or dog’s sense of smell
and taste. Here are a few that should be kept
away from our friends at all times: Coffee, yeast
dough, macadamia nuts, alcohol, salt and fatty
foods not to mention human medication. When
in doubt, just stick with the food that you’ve
bought your animal companion and you’ll have
less to worry about. If you can, try to clean off
your own plate because not only could there be
food on it that may harm your cat or dog, but
enough cleaning up after their human friends
will put on extra weight and that’s a whole other
story about animal health. An overweight animal can get heart disease, diabetes, and other
conditions that we humans get when we don’t
take care of ourselves.
If at any time you feel that your cat or dog has
eaten something bad, contact Pittsburgh Poison
Center at Children’s Hospital. Their number
is 1-800-222-1222. For further reading go to

Skunk Rinse Recipe
Did your dog or cat ever encounter a skunk? If
so, you know how the scent lingers. We have
had several people tell us that the following
recipe is far more effective than the old tomato
juice cure, and it’s easy to follow.
In a pail mix:
1 quart hydrogen peroxide
(the 3 percent hydrogen peroxide variety)
¼ cup baking soda
2 teaspoons Dawn dishwashing liquid
If you have a large breed dog, you may need to
double, triple or even quadruple the mixture. It
is recommended that you wear dishwashing or
other household gloves during the whole deskunking process.
Don’t wet down your pet. Apply the mixture
to your pet’s dry coat from the collar back toward the tail. Don’t pour it near the eyes because
the hydrogen peroxide solution can burn them.
Lather the mixture into your pet’s coat and skin.
Rub the solution around for about five minutes
or until the skunk smell starts to dissipate.
If the front of your pet is as stinky as the back,
use a sponge to apply the solution to your pet’s
chin, cheeks, forehead and ears, being very careful not to go near the eyes. When you rinse the
head area, tilt your pet’s chin upward so the solution does not run down into the eyes, instead
allow the water to run back off his neck.
Do a complete rinse once the smell starts to decrease, then repeat the entire process again. You
may need to repeat the lather and rinse process
up to three times, but it’s a very effective method for removing the skunk smell from your pet.
Make sure to completely rinse the solution off
your pet. Your final rinse should be very thorough.
You can’t prepare this solution ahead of time and
store it – it won’t be effective when you need it.
It must be made fresh, right before you apply it
to your pet. So it pays to make sure you have all
the ingredients ahead of time! Keep the ingredients in a place that you will remember when
your pet comes home, reeking of skunk.
We hope you never have to use the skunk rinse
recipe, but keep it nearby, just in case.
