NIKKI`S LONG JOURNEY by Stacy Sweeting

SPRING 2008
NIKKI’S LONG JOURNEY by Stacy Sweeting
On September 20, 2007, a local Veterinarian called the Orange County SPCA to inquire about the legal action that could
be taken against a person who willfully abandons and abuses an animal.
A sweet little Miniature Pinscher puppy, named Nikki, had her front leg badly broken by her owner. They brought her into
the animal hospital but they never came back for her. This is willful abandonment of an animal and is considered a
misdemeanor in the state of California. Upon examination, the doctor determined that Nikki’s leg had been broken for at
least one month. The estimated cost of the surgery was $1,500-$2,000. Legally, the veterinarian only had to keep the dog
for 2 weeks before he could have euthanized her. But the veterinarian wanted to save Nikki and requested our help to
fund the surgery and find this innocent puppy a new loving home.
On September 28th, our organization took custody of Nikki and paid for her surgery. The veterinarian put an appliance on
her leg called an external fixator that kept the pins and screws in her leg stable. This stayed on for 2-3 months and was
checked and x-rayed by a veterinarian approximately every two weeks to make sure that it was working properly and not
getting infected.
During the weeks that Nikki was recovering from the surgery at the hospital, the OCSPCA began the search for a new
home or a rescue group to take care of her. After many phone calls and emails, we came in contact with a rescue group
in Arizona that had experience with special needs Miniature Pinschers. The Director agreed to take Nikki as soon as she
was well enough to travel.
A few weeks after arriving at the rescue in Arizona, the Director began to notice that Nikki’s leg seemed to be infected.
The veterinarians in Arizona felt that the bones were not healing properly. Nikki was seen by an Orthopedic Specialist. It
was determined that the leg either needed to be amputated or a second surgery performed. A second surgery would
require months of confinement with no guarantee that it would work again. It was a tough decision, but everyone agreed
that it would be better for Nikki to have her leg amputated.
True to her exuberant nature, Nikki was up and bounding around as soon as she came out of the anesthesia after her
surgery. For the first time in months she could walk and move freely. Back at the rescue home she began to have the
time of her life! She ran, played with other dogs and took a swim in the pool.
After she had recovered, Nikki was adopted by a wonderful couple in Arizona who had previously adopted another Min
Pin. Nikki finally had a new life in a loving forever home.
…and she lived happily ever after.
(A very special thank you to Stacy our office manager for all the countless hours she devoted to getting Nikki her happy ending. – ED)
WE NEED YOUR HELP!
In order to continue to help Orange County animals through programs such as our medical assistance and our
spay/neuter campaigns, we need your help. Through these successful programs, the OCSPCA’s visibility has significantly
increased throughout Orange County. As a result of this, we have seen a major increase in the number of requests for
assistance from pet owners.
The Orange County SPCA operates exclusively on donations from the public and does not receive any government
assistance. One common misconception is there is a national SPCA or parent organization that provides support.
Unfortunately this is not true. All local SPCA’s are individual, self-sustaining organizations. As such, we need your help to
support animals in need throughout our community.
Please use the enclosed envelope to send in a much needed donation today, or donate on our website at
www.orangecountyspca.org using a credit or debit card. Thank you for your support.

HOW MUCH IS THAT DOGGIE IN THE WINDOW? By Donna Calkin, President
Many of you who venture into a pet store know the price tag on those adorable pure bred puppies range from many hundreds to
thousands of dollars. But that figure is misleading as the cost is really astronomical - for the animals.
All those sweet, innocent, playful pups most likely came from a puppy mill. There are an estimated 10,000 pet shops selling
animals in the United States, supplied by approximately 4,000 puppy mills. Imagine how many thousands upon thousands of
puppies it takes to continuously supply stores. The number is staggering. The definition of a mill is “a manufacturing
establishment; factory” and that is exactly what a puppy mill is - a commercial breeding operation. Adult dogs are kept in small
wire cages, stacked several high and many rows long. The females are bred beginning with their first heat at six months and on
every heat thereafter. Over and over this cycle continues until she is sick, used up and destroyed, often by inhumane means.
High volume means high profits for the breeder.
Life for the breeding stock at the mill is always overcrowded, unsanitary and without proper veterinary care. Food is
substandard, water in short supply and the dogs are never socialized. They never receive the loving touch of a human hand.
You might say the puppies are the lucky ones because they get shipped away from the factory while the parents stay behind to
be abused for what time they have left to live. Sadly, the puppies’ journey of suffering has only just begun.
The puppies are packed into crates and shipped across the country in all manners of transportation. They endure countless
hours of great discomfort ranging from fear, vomiting, lying in their own waste, lack of fresh air, little or no food and water and
countless other conditions as they are nothing more than a commodity. If they reach their destinations, they are often very sick
with any number of illnesses and many hereditary defects such as hip dysplasia. Most pet shop owners only give basic, if any,
care to the new arrivals because having them seen by a vet will cut into their profit.
The Orange County SPCA Help Line receives continual calls with people in tears because their brand new puppy is in the
hospital fighting for its life. Owners who just paid hundreds of dollars for their new best friend are now faced with huge veterinary
bills to save them. Many of the puppies do not survive. They have been through so much in their all too short lives that they are
just too young and weak.
California laws have forced pet shop owners to display the city where the dogs came from. Many years ago most of the tags
named cities in Missouri but today puppy mill bred dogs come from all over the United States, Mexico and other countries.
A very small number of pet shop owners (1%) are responsible but the industry on whole is nothing more than big business with a
bottom line of making millions of dollars in profits from living creatures. Profit made from the pain and sufferings of innocent
animals who expect nothing from life yet give so much to enrich ours. You receive our newsletter because you love animals.
Please join the fight in putting puppy mills out of business. Educate yourselves by going online or to your library and reading all
you can about the wholesale business of selling animals. Don’t buy from pet shops as you will be perpetuating a cruel industry.
Go to your local shelters and save a pet from being killed. Adopt a pet from the countless rescues who are desperately trying to
save as many animals as they can. If you absolutely must have a specific breed, consider the many breed rescues before you
buy from a breeder. Please keep in mind that for every four animals in the shelter, one of them is a purebred.
And remember, this inhumane cycle of breeding doesn’t end with puppies. Any animal that is sold in vast quantities; birds,
hamsters, mice, rats, lizards, snakes and so many more, are subject to the same cruelties. These living beings have to be mass
produced to satisfy the multitudes of sellers who make their profits from the animal’s suffering. And yes, there are rescue’s for
these types of animals too.
Through this newsletter and our Help Line we can reach several thousand people but that is not enough; we need your help.
Please help us spread the word. Pass this article on to anyone considering buying from a pet shop or breeder. Educate your
friends and family and ask them to educate their friends and family. Become an advocate for the animals through education.
Help us to help them.
As I write this article, Oprah is doing a show on puppy mills. We have received numerous calls and emails about it from people
excited that this horrendous industry will be exposed nationally on such a high profile and respected program. I sincerely hope
that this will turn the tide and sooner than we could ever hope for, puppy mills will be put out of business. Like the recent media
exposure on dog fighting that has created tougher criminal laws, we hope this too will be an end to a cruel and inhumane
industry that has caused so much pain and suffering. Now please go and hug your pet and bask in the love and joy they freely
give you.
FACTS: The AKC certificate that comes with a pet shop dog is meaningless. Any breeder can register their dogs with
the AKC and purchase certificates, no screening, no questions asked.
Reputable breeders never use the pet shop as a middle man. Don’t accept the lie.
The Internet is the latest place to find puppy mill scams and the scope of it is frightening. You cannot believe what you
see or read. Don’t purchase pets from a website.

BECOME YOUR DOG OR CAT’S HERO
Take Part in National Pet First-Aid Awareness Month by Denise Fleck
April is National Pet First-Aid Awareness Month, and although it is a topic pet parents should have on their minds yearround, this is a great time to make sure you get trained in these life-saving skills.
Without warning, tragedy can strike your cat or dog. Should this
happen, YOU must know what to do. Has your dog’s tail ever been
accidentally closed in a door, or have you discovered ticks on your
gorgeous long-haired cat? Have you found a dog left in a parked
car? Learning to treat heat stroke is First-Aid 101. Have you ever
feared your cat would chase a Rattlesnake or been stung by a bee?
Has your puppy been given too many scraps under the dinner table
and suffered an upset stomach, diarrhea or vomiting? How about
when you take your pet along for a car ride? Although children are
usually strapped safely into car seats, do your pets get the same
attention? When brakes are applied, an unrestrained cat or dog can
become a projectile. Pets too should be in seat belts or
crates/carriers that are secured in the back – never the front
passenger seat where a deployed air bag could prove deadly.
Statistics show that accidents are the leading cause of death among non-senior dogs and cats, and according to the
American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA), one out of four additional pets could be saved if just one Pet First-Aid
technique is applied. Even if you have taken a human First-Aid & CPR course, realize that humans, canines & felines do
not share anatomies, and although the concept is the same, the technique differs as does our ability to communicate with
each other. We can’t ask our cat, “Where does it hurt?” or our dog, “What did you eat?” Therefore, pet-specific training is
essential to being a responsible and caring pet mom, pet dad or animal care worker. I think one student summed it up
best when she said, “The last thing you want is to wish you HAD taken a Pet First-Aid & CPR Class.”
th
Don’t put off what you can do now! The Orange County SPCA will be offering a Class on Saturday, May 17 , 2008 from
10am – 2pm. Sign up and become your dog or cat’s hero! For additional class information, go to the OCSPCA website

Denise Fleck is a free-lance writer and animal care instructor specializing in Pet First-Aid and CPR. She is an advocate of
adopting Senior Pets, has developed her own line of Pet First-Aid Kits and is a member of the Surf City Animal Response
Team. She resides in Shadow Hills, California with her husband Paul and three rescue dogs…a loving Black Labrador
and two energetic Akitas. Visit her website at www.sunnydogink.com.

THE BIG FIX IN THE OC
The Orange County SPCA believes the way to reduce the number of animals that are needlessly put to death in our
shelters is to spay and neuter. In keeping with that goal, on March 16, 2008 we partnered with the Santa Ana Friends for
the Animals (SAFA), the City of Santa Ana and several generous veterinarians and volunteers to put on a special
spay/neuter clinic for the residents of Santa Ana.
Sixty pets were spayed and neutered; 27 female and 25 male dogs; 5 female and 3 male cats. Each one received a
microchip that will get them back to their homes should they become lost.
We could not have put on this event without the help of so many generous volunteers. Their hard work and dedication
made the day a success. Our sincere thanks to:
Dr. William Grant, Jr., Dr. Glenn Ericson and Dr. Lindsay Shiraki of Community Veterinary Hospital and Dr. Grace Matsuurda of
Yorba Regional Hospital for performing all the surgeries;
Dr. William Grant, Sr. of Animal Discount Clinic for donating his hospital;
Veterinary Technicians Debbie Ericson, Maria Hernandez, Gady Robles Abarca from Community Veterinarian Hospital and
Maritza Palafax from Animal Discount Clinic;
Lydia Savala, Chandra Salas and Susanna Salas from Santa Ana Friends for the Animals;
Sgt. Marty Shirey and Fernando Castro from the Santa Ana Police Department Animal Services;
Tracy Roberts, Stacy Sweeting and Donna Calkin from the Orange County SPCA; and
Very special thanks to Doyle Smith of SAFA and Sandy Diamond who organized and pulled the entire event together.
In addition to the one day event, several other hospitals that also recognize the value of spaying and neutering provided
low cost surgeries at reduced rates during the Big Fix week: Tustana Animal Hospital, Banfield Pet Hospital, Aliso Niguel
Animal Hospital, and Katella Animal Clinic.
It is amazing what can be accomplished when so many caring people come together to benefit animals. Thank you one
and all for caring and sharing your hearts.
HOW YOU CAN HELP THE ANIMALS
We often get calls asking how to help. In today’s volatile economy and with gas prices skyrocketing, a donation always
isn’t possible. But we need your help in many other areas.
We are in great need of volunteers who can help with our Orange County Cares About Cats (OCCATS) program.
Assistance is always needed trapping/neutering/releasing, feeding and maintaining feral cat colonies. If you are unable to
give time to this worthy cause please consider donating cat food or donating funds to purchase traps and to pay for
spaying and neutering.
If you are interested in getting involved with pet therapy we need you, even if you don’t have a dog. We have many
facilities waiting for visits by our incredible therapy teams but we need team leaders to handle light paperwork and to
make visit reminders. The work is simple and the rewards are great.
We are always in need of volunteers interested in fundraising. If you know how to put on events or if you want to be on a
committee give us a call. Do you love office work? We could use volunteers to help with filing and light computer work in
our office.
We need a small storage space donated for our OCCAT equipment in or near the Anaheim area.
Printing services for our newsletter and educational materials saves us hundreds of dollars.
Are you a web designer? Could you host our website?
We are occasionally in need of renting tables and canopies for fund raising events. If you own a party/equipment rental
business or know someone who does we would appreciate your help.
Become involved: Spread the word about spaying and neutering, puppy mills, help for feral cats. Volunteer to foster for a
rescue group. Write letters to help change the way animals are treated. You can make a difference and your time and
effort are the greatest ways you can give.

LETTERS
We love hearing from the people we help. It is encouraging to know the hard
work and dedication of our office staff and volunteers is appreciated.
To everyone at the OCSPCA, I want to thank you all for the very generous donation to help with the
expenses for my Shandi’s surgery on her knee. She is doing great and the bone is healing just like it
should. I can not tell you how grateful I am to you. Thank you from the bottom of my heart and Shandi’s
also. I thank you for each and everyday I share with Shandi. ~ Roni D
Dear Orange County SPCA, We would like to thank you for your heartfelt support and assistance in
taking care of our Pete. His enucleation (eye removal) surgery was a success and thanks to caring
organizations such as the SPCA Pete is now pain free and on his way to recovery. We cannot express
enough our appreciation for your assistance. Very special thanks to Stacy for her wonderful care and assistance.
Thank you once again. ~ Chris, Brigitte and most importantly Pete
A letter to our PAWS team who visit at Country Villas: Hi all, I am Dorothy K’s sister. I appreciate the sympathy card from all of
you. It was very nice. She loved the dogs. It brightened her days. I hope this check will help you also. I really miss her smiling
face. ~ Alice K.
Dear Stacy, I would like to thank you from the bottom of my heart for your assistance in getting my doggie boy Dallas neutered.
Your kindness and generosity is very much appreciated. Hopefully someday I can repay your organization back in some way. ~
Debbie M
Dear Julia, Thank you so much for your thank you note. I’m a senior on (limited) income, not to complain because I give, its
medicine to my spirit, I love animals. As for my time I became involved on rescuing feral kittens and adopting them out. As a
matter of fact I requested vouchers from you and you mailed them to me right away. With help we also trapped adult feral males
and females, had them fixed and released. At least they lived; they were un-adoptable, homeless but alive. That was all
because of your vouchers. Thank you. Then to give you a donation and so quickly get a hand written thank you just blew me
away. I will continue to donate. Thank you. ~ Mary D
Dear Sir/Madame, On behalf of The First American Corporation Employees Committee we have enclosed a donation in the
amount of $2,239.00. We raised this money by organizing a “Have a Heart for the Animals” jeans Friday in February. We are
pleased to help you provide for the animals of Orange County who need your organizations services.
Thank you so much for the pledge to help Mee Meow with her surgery. I’m happy to report that she is healing well, has a new &
loving home and is successfully learning how to maneuver on three legs. Thanks for caring. ~ Patricia Kempe
Dear Staff of OCSPCA, I am writing to thank you for the pledge for my cat, Ryuu. It helped him to get the hospitalization that he
needed. Without your help he would not have recovered. Thanks so much. ~ Michelle Pamplin
Dear Stacy, I wanted to let you know the kitties I rescued by trapping went according to plan. The mom was spayed and
released and all the babies found homes. Your help was invaluable. Thank you so much for helping me asap. I’m sure the
vouchers helped me place them in homes. Meanwhile I got very attached and they got tame very quickly. I just wanted to thank
you for your kindness and quick assistance over the phone. It was very much appreciated. ~ Brenda Alpert
I recently received help from your organization thanks to Stacy, one of your volunteers. I have been out of work for several
months and my dog Snoopy had to have his eye removed due to glaucoma related problems. He is 13 years old and has been a
member of our family for 6 years. We got him through a rescue. And thanks to your pledge towards his bill he is out of pain and
once again a happy dog. I was truly touched by the generosity of your organization and wanted to let you know how much it
meant to me and Snoopy. Thank you so much. ~ Debbie Hawkins
