2013 Bark in the Park & Woof Walk
A “doggone” good time for all
As the pink-streaked skies of the fading dawn
turned bright blue, the large group of Animal
Care Society staff and volunteers felt increasingly
hopeful that the 10th Annual Bark in the Park and
Wolf Walk would be a success. And it was!
About 200 Wolf Walk runners, 48 exhibitors and
sponsors and 500 attendees helped raise $30,000 for
critically needed operating funds. As importantly, with promotional
assistance from many, including local media, the September 28
event also raised awareness of the shelter and its mission.
Emcees Tara Basset and Becca White kept the day at Seneca
Park running smoothly by making announcements and chatting
up the vendors and attendees. The event featured caninethemed booths and contests, a Treibbal demonstration, Derby
City Disc Dogs performances and a dog agility demonstration.
Attendees also enjoyed a Dog-of-the-Year competition, raffles,
a silent auction, pet microchipping, food and drink, and childrelated activities.
We want to shout out a big thank-you to our sponsors:

Would you like to provide for the future of adoptable pets at
the Animal Care Society, but cannot make a significant donation
today? If so, consider making a charitable bequest through your
will or revocable trust.
Donors like bequests because:
· The gift isn’t payable until your death, so it has no impact on
your finances during your lifetime.
· You maintain control, and can change your bequest or cancel
it at any time during your lifetime by simply changing the
provisions.
· Bequests are simple. You can designate how you want the gift
to be given (a specific dollar amount or a certain percentage
of your estate).
· Bequests can be specific. You can designate that the gift go
into the ACS's general fund, or specify that it support a
particular program or activity.
· The gift is tax deductible. Your bequest is fully deductible for
federal estate tax purposes and is usually exempt from state
inheritance taxes. Plus, there is no limit on the deduction your
estate can claim.

From the Director’s Desk
Animal Care Society, Winter 2013–2014
Dear Member,
Happy New Year from the board members, staff,
volunteers—and, of course, the furry guests—at The Animal
Care Society (ACS)! We hope the coming year will be an
especially happy one for you, and we also hope that you
can help make 2014 happier for the dogs and cats that
reside here temporarily.
Why Support the ACS?
Many organizations provide shelter for adoptable pets,
but the ACS is the area's first no-kill shelter. Visitors are
relieved when they come here because they know that
the wagging tails and rumbling purrs they encounter will
either greet them when they return or will be blessing the
lives of a new, forever family.
While we all love the thought of happy endings for
every ACS resident, the reality of providing for them is
expensive. It costs an average of $6 a day to care for just
one of the ACS's 75 dogs and cats, and that amount
covers the cost of medical care, food, water and the
shelter's many operating expenses. That's a total daily cost
of about $500!
Would you make a New Year's resolution to support the
ACS? There are many ways to do it. Here are just half a
dozen for your consideration:
Thank you to our donors!
The Animal Care Society could not function without the
support of many caring individuals. The following lists

Six Ways to Support the ACS
1. Sponsor an ACS adoptable pet through the Spirit Fund
($10/month for a minimum of three months)
2. Become a member of the ACS. Membership levels
include: supporter – $25; sponsor – $50; patron – $100. If
you're already a member, ask another animal-loving
friend to join, or give him or her the gift of membership.
3. Become an ACS volunteer (we need commitments of a
minimum of 40 hours/year). If you know someone who
volunteers, please thank them! The ACS literally could
not operate without the help of many volunteers.
4. Join the ACS e-mail list and receive all of our latest news.
Sign up on our website, www.animalcaresociety.org.
Please “like” us on Facebook, too!
5. Donate items that are used daily by the ACS: nonscoopable cat litter, first class stamps, Pine Sol (not the
pine-scented variety), bleach, paper towels and Blue
Dawn liquid soap.
6. And last, but of course, far from least: Make room in your
home and heart and adopt a new pet from the ACS!
With appreciation,
many, many individuals who have donated Gifts in Kind
and countless volunteer hours. The ACS is grateful to the
following individuals for supporting the daily operations and

Where do I start?
If you already have a will or revocable trust:
• Contact the attorney who drafted your will or
revocable trust and ask to add a charitable bequest.
In most cases, you can amend a will or trust without
rewriting the entire document. • If you are making a bequest through a will, your
attorney will prepare a document called a codicil,
which will add a new bequest to your will without
changing any of the other terms. If making a bequest
through a trust, the attorney can prepare an
amendment and add ACS as a named beneficiary.
• Contact ACS to obtain our Tax ID and the specific
legal language that must be included in your bequest.
If you don’t have a will or revocable trust already:
• Find an attorney experienced in the area of estate
planning. The attorney will provide an estate planning
worksheet to help you think through who you want to
fulfill various administrative functions of your estate.
• Designate ACS as a beneficiary.
Charitable bequests are the gifts that keep on giving.
Please contact your attorney and have them include
ACS in your family estate plan today. 3

Annual Bow Wow and Meow Boutique raises more than $20,000
Holiday shoppers in search of visually appealing bargains
left the Animal Care Society's (ACS) annual Bow Wow and
Meow Boutique with big smiles and armloads of festive
baskets, spending more than $20,000 to benefit the no-kill
shelter. Due to inclement weather, organizers extended the
December 6-8 event to December 13-15.
A group of volunteers known as “The Basket Babes”
created more than 800 baskets with themes of beauty,
Christmas, coffee, liquor, toys and more. The thoughtful elves
even bundled beer, craftsman mugs, beef and bacon jerky,
a redneck beer cookbook, beer bread, outdoor hot sauce
and many extras to construct a “Redneck Basket,” ensuring
that the boutique offered something for everyone.
Volunteer Lexie Koestner put together around 300 dogand cat-themed baskets, and the event also offered jewelry,
baked goods and Christmas wreathes.
“We want to thank everyone who donated items, made
up the baskets and worked at the boutique,” said the
shelter's executive director, Bunny Zeller. “It's a win-win for the
shelter and for the community because the Animal Care
Society receives much needed funds, and shoppers find a
huge selection of unique gifts.”
In its 25th year, the boutique is a highly anticipated
shopping opportunity for many. The staff looks forward to a
visit from one particular supporter who says she does all of
her Christmas shopping at the event.
The annual boutique is held the first weekend in
December, so mark your calendar for next year's basket
extravaganza December 5–7.
Plan to support the ACS by shopping for all of your
Christmas gifts at the next Bow Wow and Meow
Boutique, December 5–7, 2014.
A couple of “basket cases”
Fred and Dottie Fellows are a couple of real “basket
cases” when it comes to the ACS.
For the past three years, they have made it their personal
mission to find baskets at flea markets, yard sales and other
venues that they donate, often after refurbishing them, to
the ACS's Bow Wow and Meow Boutique. The couple
donated 400 baskets for the 2013 event.
The Fellows invite the boutique's basket recipients to return
their empty baskets to the ACS by June 1, 2014 so they can
be reused to create new gift baskets for the 2014 boutique.
Participants will be entered into drawings for cash prizes,
courtesy of the Fellows! One entry per returned basket.
C’mon! Be a “basket case” for the Animal Care Society!

Feed them right; resolve to make your overweight pet healthy in 2014
By Lisa Griffin, ACS volunteer
It's not too late to make a New Year's Resolution, and I
hope you'll take a loooong look into the eyes of the pet you
adore—the one you agreed to love and care for when you
welcomed your new family member—then ask yourself: “Is
my pet overweight?”
If the answer is “yes,” make an “I'll show you I love you”
resolution in 2014 by committing to increasing your pet's activity and better controlling its food intake.
When I was at the groomer's with my dog one time, I overheard a client reprimand her dog for eating so much and
gaining so much weight. I could hardly believe my ears! A
pet's weight is totally within the owner's control, and we must
learn to equate a pet's healthy diet and caloric intake with
demonstrating true love. Or “delayed gratification,” something we humans seem to abhor.
Here's how to tell if your pet is overweight (according to
About.com):
1. Look for a curved indention just behind the rib cage,
which is easy to see when standing over your pet.
2. Look for a tucked up area behind the rib cage and before the back legs, which is easily viewed from the side.
3. Feel your pet's rib cage gently. Your fingers should glide
over the ribs smoothly and not feel large sheets of fat.
For many pet owners, food can feel like one of the few
ways they can make their pet happy, especially when the
pace of daily life makes play time and long walks difficult to
squeeze in.
Now—don't beat yourself up if you pet is overweight.
You're in good company (unfortunately). According to recent research collected in 800 U.S. animal hospitals (Banfield
Pet Hospital), pet weight gain is a problem that is growing exponentially. Since 1998, the number of overweight dogs has
grown by 37 percent. For cats, the number is a stunning 90
percent! The Association for Pet Obesity has even declared
October 9 as National Pet Obesity Awareness Day.
Just resolve to change the situation in 2014.
Here's what to do. (I'll focus on food in this article, but exercise is the other critical part of the success equation):
1. First, talk to your vet about which high-quality pet food
to use and make sure to ask about the quantity you
should offer. You pet may require special food for medical reasons, so checking with your vet is critical.
2. If you've been feeding your pet from the table, bite the
bullet and put your pet in another room while you eat.
Think long-term and do your best to tune out any barking or plaintive mewing.
3. Give commercial treats to your pet sparingly, as they
often are loaded with calories. (One pet care website
noted that a typical dog biscuit =a human eating two
double-stuffed fudge cookies; a pig ear = a human
drinking six 12-ounce cans of soda.)
4. There are some human foods that make good pet
treats—in small quantities (Thinkstock.com):
a. Veggies: Try low sodium canned green beans, which
are loaded with vitamins and are low in fat. Raw
carrots are good, too.
b. Fruit: Try apple slices—but NO grapes or raisins, which
are dangerous to pets.
c. Cooked rice or barley, without any seasonings.
Watch quantities carefully here.
Cats spend more time sleeping than awake. Be sure to fit
exercise in when kitty is up and about.
d. Lean, cooked fresh meat, such as chicken and
turkey without the skin. NO high-sodium, preservatives-packed lunch meats.
e. Please remember NEVER to offer:
• Alcohol
• Avocados
• Chocolate (all types)
• Coffee (all forms)
• Garlic
• Grapes and raisins
• Macadamia nuts
• Moldy or spoiled foods
• Onions or onion powder
• Salt
• Yeast dough
• Xylitol (sweetener)
• Bones (especially small, soft bones such as those
from chickens and pork chops) as they can splinter and cause a variety of injuries.
Don't let you pet be an obesity statistic. Show that you
truly love your pet by controlling its weight. You can do it!
And you'll be so glad you did because your furry baby will
stay healthy and live with you a lot longer.
Pet obesity in human terms
A 10-pound Chihuahua = 5'4" woman who weighs 242
pounds or a 5'9" man who weighs 282 pounds.
A 15-pound domestic short-haired cat = a 5'4" woman
who weighs 218 pounds or a 5'9" man who weighs 254
pounds.

Just wanted to let you all know that Natasha is doing great-she owns the house and all the toys. She and Ashley are big
buddies and play all the time. She sleeps with us, and has
been great at potty training, only maybe two accidents.
Took her to the groomer, she bathed her and trimmed her,
we have just about decided she is Shih Tzu and Boston Terrier.
Thank you again. We love her.

I thought you might like an update on the two cats we
adopted from the shelter, Casper and MaxMan. Casper was
12 when we adopted him a little over two years ago. His kidneys are failing, and he is getting fluids twice a week. At this
point, he seems very comfortable and is tolerating the short
trips to the vet and the fluids very well. His weight has stabilized, so we are hopeful that he has some good times left. He
has been a very happy cat, and we are very blessed to
have him. MaxMan has proven to like his people better than his fellow
cats—our other cats may be too old for him. But he also
seems to be quite happy and runs all over the house. Follows
my husband around like a puppy. What a cute cat!
Jane Adams
My babies are doing well. Everyone was spayed/neutered
and came through their surgeries fine. Even though they
were from different litters, all three have been a happy family since arriving home. They play and sleep together, and
often groom one another. All three are very affectionate
and love to be held, kissed, petted and scratched just about
everywhere! They are a bit wild, climbing on tables and
blinds and turning over glasses, but we are working on that.
Riley Kathryn (Mozzarella) is the oldest at seven months, and
she has gotten very long and skinny. She likes to leap and
play, and she is a champion sleeper. Her voice is very high
pitched and she likes to trill.
Emma Rose (Lola) has gotten so beautiful! She has the shiniest black fur and a pretty face. She's alpha cat and has a
huge appetite. She and her brother have many Bengal traits,

and love to smell your breath after you have just brushed
your teeth. Emma loves to drink water out of the running
faucet and give kisses.
Dusty Jack (Noah) is still beautiful and very spoiled. He loves
to be held and kissed and stretches into crazy positions. He
has a bit of the male arrogance, but is mostly a momma's
boy.
