As the guests walked in the door they had an
opportunity to purchase a glass of champagne for
their chance to win stunning diamond earrings
donated by Saxon’s Fine Jewelers.
This was the second year of ‘Bubbles and Bling’
and it was a huge success raising over $4,000.
Following the four course sit-down dinner and
auction there was dancing into the wee hours of the
night to music from Metro. Everyone was out of
their seats and on the dance floor!
Raising a “paw” during the auction.
We want to thank our major Black Tie sponsor,
Starview Foundation; the Diamond Collar sponsor,
Kirby Nagelhout; our three Platinum Lead sponsors, Carrera Motors, Madsen Homes and Karnopp Petersen, LLP; the
Wine sponsor for the 3rd year in a row, Maryhill Wineries and Cherie Brooks; the Auction Paw Paddle sponsor, Downtown
Doggie; and Media Sponsor KOHD News. Together these corporate sponsors were responsible for raising $11,500 to care
for the animals at HSCO.
If you didn’t have a chance to come to this year’s event, be sure to mark your calendars for next year. You won’t want
to be left out!

Changing the Lives of Animals — One Kibble at a Time
M
imi Ausland, a
twelve year
old girl from Bend,
has set her sights
on feeding millions
of homeless animals
in shelters across the
nation. To begin her effort,
Mimi started the website Freekibble.com
in April of 2008 hoping to feed the animals
cared for by the Humane Society of Central
Oregon (HSCO).
At first Mimi wanted to simply feed the
homeless animals. But the initial concept of
freekibble.com has grown for Mimi as she
begins to see the bigger picture. Feeding
the animals in shelters with food generated
on freekibble.com not only fills the bellies
of hungry animals, it also relieves the
burden from shelter staff to find quality
food for the animals in their care. Mimi
hopes this gives shelter staff more time
to find homes for the animals. With the
downturn in the economy, it’s difficult for

Where to Find Us
Dear Friends,
I wish George Bernard Shaw could visit HSCO today. He who wrote,
“Youth is wasted on the young” might wish to take back those famous
words. As you read through our newsletter, I don’t believe anyone would
say that the young people of our community are wasting their youth.
Certainly the animals that find their way to our shelter would like to
have a few words with Mr. Shaw. I think they would point out how the
efforts of these youth have provided food, supplies, toys, and even play
equipment, to offer the greatest level of care possible to the nearly 4,000
animals in need that pass through HSCO’s doors every year. Without the
help and concern of these young citizens, life would not be as comfortable
for those who seek a second chance; even a walk outside or the
opportunity to play and socialize with people make a positive difference
for our animals, as we help them find a new life, in a new home.
I hope you are as touched by these stories as I am. With all the negative
news we see and hear each day, it is uplifting to know there are those
in our community who see, with the purity of their vision, only the
opportunities available, and act upon them. I think we can all learn a
lesson from these ‘extraordinary youth’.
So, I will give Mr. Shaw a second chance, and offer a quote from him
that more accurately describes what is happening at HSCO, and in our
community today: “You see things; and you say, ‘Why?’ But I dream
things that never were; and I say, ‘Why not?’”
Please come and visit your shelter, and see how your support can make
a difference in the lives of so many animals. Act on the opportunities -become inspired, become young! It can change your life for the better.

Youth In Action
Over the past several
months, I have been in
awe of the youth in our
generous community.
I would like to highlight four extraordinary
individuals for their
time and dedication to
HSCO and the animals
we serve. These young
people are four out of
hundreds who had who
have made significant
contributions to our animals. My story begins
Max & Mojo
during the Christmas
season.
On Christmas Eve two young friends came in to visit
the shelter with their parents and drop off some Christmas
cheer for the animals. Greer and Gus McKinley had each
opened up their own checking account and they were at
the shelter to disburse their money saved to support the
animals. Each check was pretty significant, Greer - $300
and Gus $200. Greer actually dedicated her dollars to go
to special surgeries for animals. What a joy to watch them
write their first checks all for their cause, our animals.
Not long after that, I was called into one of our adoption
rooms with a young girl and her father. Eleven year old
Mimi Ausland, I would later find out, had been a consistent
HSCO donor for a long while. She had a dream of feeding
all of the animals that graced our shelter. Just in case you
have not heard, look for the full story in this publication.
What has captured my attention is the transformation
of this young girl, who was shy and reserved, into this
polished, spunky and confident youth talking on national
TV for her cause…feeding all of the animals.
We now come to Max Mead. This young man has been
a volunteer with his mom walking dogs. At the end of
the school year, Max came into my office to talk about
his vision of fundraising over the summer to buy agility
equipment for the animals at the shelter. I didn’t see much
of Max over the summer (he did volunteer to help us at
our microchip clinic) and I found out why. Max had been
very busy with his grass roots fundraising activities for
the agility equipment. He had been calling on neighbors
and friends, anyone who would listen, asking to pull
weeds, wash cars, spread bark -- anything to raise money
for his project. I recently talked to Max and he has raised
$500.00 this summer. My hat’s off to you Max!
Throughout the year, many young people make sure the
Humane Society is not forgotten by asking their birthday
guests to make a donation. We have received some wonderful
toys, needed kitty litter, food, money, and a lot of joy as a
result of being chosen to be included in their celebration.
I commend this generation of thoughtful and action
oriented youth!
Aloha,
Pat Roden

In Loving Memory of ‘Squeek’ Smith
- Offsite Adoptions Community Events
Petsmart
Emma Steel’s birthday party became a Humane Society event.
Squeek enjoys her annual birthday party at
William Smith Properties with her co-workers.
Squeek was a constant
companion of William
Smith for 16 years. In
1992, when Smith was
told that a kitten was
orphaned due to the
death of her mother on
a ranch in Mitchell, OR,
he brought the bottle-fed kitten back to Bend with him.
All of Squeek’s co-workers at William Smith Properties
helped take care of this tiny feline and grew to love her
as she spent 16 years with them.
It has been said that Squeek attends interviews and
that you have to get her approval before you can work
for William Smith Properties. Dixie Brown said that
“Bill was by far her favorite person in the world.”

Volunteer Uses Love and Talent to Help Animals
W
hen Mia MacCollin moved
from Boston, MA to Central
Oregon in 2007, like many people, she
came to the Humane Society of Central
Oregon to find a new family member.
Soon after adopting “Boston,” a black
Labrador Retriever, she joined our
volunteer program.
Initially, Mia thought she would
use the training experience she gained
at an assistance dog organization to
help HSCO’s canines. After seeing
the consistent high volume of dogs,
Mia realized she could not make the
progress in a dog’s behavior that she
envisioned.
Mia soon offered to help with a
volunteer job that had been empty for
many years. The HSCO has many
sponsored pet of the week advertisements
as well as photos of adoptable animals on
our website. Mia thought she could use
her photographic talents to capture the
animals in appealing photos that would
help them find loving homes. Mia was
right. When Mia’s photos became a part
of HSCO’s website and advertisements,
people came to visit with the animals
they saw in the photo.
Mia spends several hours each week
taking the photographs. On top of the
10
photo session, Mia spends quality time
with each animal she photographs.
Mia says she feels “that all of us whose
lives are enriched by the company of
dogs we owe a great debt to the dogs that
hit hard times. I wish our society was
different and more respectful of animals.
By showing how beautiful these dogs
are, people might stop thinking of them
as throwaways and strays, and think of
them as individuals with personalities
and potential.”
Volunteering is an occupation that
receives rewards that warms the heart.
Mia says that the “greatest reward
happens when someone comes in
because they have seen one of my
photos and says it motivated them to
look at our dogs.”
Like many volunteers, Mia finds that
it can be hard to volunteer at the shelter
because it’s so sad to see how people
discard dogs. But like many, Mia finds
the rewards greater, especially when
she sees a homeless animal “go home
with a great person, or even better
when they come back in a month or six
months and say that they have the best
dog ever.” With heartfelt compassion,
Mia says she can do it because she
has her “own dogs to go home to and
give a big hug, and tell them they will
always, always, always have a loving
home.”

some to feed their own companion
animals.
With a consistent supply of premium
dog and cat food, Mimi hopes shelters
can shift more food to their pet
assistance programs for those having a
difficult time feeding their pets.
A lot has changed for the 11 year old
that walked into the shelter this past
February with her www.freekibble.com
proposal that would benefit the 4,000
animals annually cared for by HSCO.
Freekibble.com received support by
local radio, television and print media.
With each media exposure new
people visited the site and donated
more kibble by merely answering a
trivia question.
The story of a young girl wanting
to feed homeless animals touched
the hearts of many as it was covered
by Margie Boule’ of the Oregonian,
Zootoo.com, and the Humane Society
of the United States. Mimi was also a
guest on Animal Radio. The biggest
impact was from national media
coverage.
The “National Enquirer’s” July 14
issue highlighted Mimi’s freekibble.
com in their “Acts of Kindness” profile.
The full-page spread included photos
of Mimi at HSCO and a story on how
she was making life better for homeless
animals. The exposure created a spike
in donated kibble numbers from about
8,000 a day to 13,000 a day.
In July, Mimi was moved by a story
about animals being the victims of
foreclosures on the “NBC Nightly
News.” She emailed NBC and thanked
them for the story which assisted her in
choosing her next shelter and opened

her eyes to bigger problems facing
animals. Within a few days, reporter
Chris Jansing of NBC Nightly News
was at HSCO interviewing Mimi and
her parents, Kelly Ausland and Brooke
Smith.
The “NBC Nightly News” story on
freekibble.com on July 11 was followed
the next morning with Mimi and her
family appearing on the “Today Show.”
The donated kibble totals skyrocketed
from 25,000 a day to over 400,000
the night of the “NBC Nightly News”
story, and over 800,000 after the
“Today Show” airing. Kelly Ausland
notes that “for a moment after the NBC
Nightly News story, freekibble.com
was the second fastest growing site on
Google.”
What’s next for the 12-year-old at
the helm of freekibble.com? Mimi is
headed to Los Angeles for a scheduled
appearance on The Ellen (Degeneres)
Show on Thursday, Sept. 25, 2008.
Most important to this compassionate
young girl is simply feeding the
animals in shelters while they wait for
their forever home. Freekibble.com
has generated 2,175 lbs of dog food,
and 550 lbs of cat food for the Humane
Society of Central Oregon.
The delivery of food in August will
include seven more shelters across the
nation plus a few near Kansas City,
MO. (Three Dog Bakery donated
5,000 additional pounds for Kansas
City shelters).
Mimi’s efforts have been recognized
by the Humane Society of the United
States, and they are making a donation
to a shelter of her choice. HSCO has
been graciously designated by this
ambitious and inspiring young lady to
receive the donation.
For those who have been playing
‘bow-wow trivia’ and ‘meow trivia’
please continue playing because every
kibble counts.
For those who have not visited
freekibble.com or freekibblekat.com,
take a moment to find out how easy it is
to help feed homeless animals with just
a click of the mouse.
