Can you help us find love?
Zena has had a difficult life, having been originally rescued from an abusive
home. She is a four year old pit mix who came into the shelter when her owner
could no longer care for her. Zena has been with us since January and is a shelter
favorite among both staff and volunteers. For more information on Zena please
contact the Sauk County Humane Society at 608-356-2520 or via email at
[email protected].
Zena
Jersey
Jersey has been looking for her forever home for over a year and the adoption fee
has been waived. Jersey is an active 3.5 year old Doberman mix who loves to play
fetch, but would also love a couch to relax on too. She knows lots of commands
and would prefer to go to a home without other pets or very young children. For
more information on Jersey please contact the Iowa County Humane Society at
608-935-1381 or via email at [email protected].

OMost were shot or stabbed by the suspects they
ver a dozen police K-9’s are killed each year.
were attempting to apprehend. Sadly, many law
enforcement agencies and police departments do
not have the funds to purchase body armor that can
save the lives of their police dogs. The cost of each
vest is around $850 to $1000 depending on which
vest best suits each dog. In July Mounds donated
$0.50 per 35 lb. bag of Mounds Dog Power sold
to help purchase safety vests for local police K-9’s.
Thanks to your purchases we were able to raise
enough funds to vest some local police K-9’s.
The Dane County Regional Airport and Dane County Sheriff’s Office
recently welcomed the newest member of the Dane County Bomb
Squad – a two-year old K-9 detector dog named Lord, originally from
Holland. Lord and his handler, Deputy Scott Lindner, will conduct
searches of airplanes, unattended
or suspicious
packages, freight
from the loading
dock, and other
safety and security
checks as needed.
Lord is certified in
explosive detection
techniques and is
trained in 19
explosive odors.
Ty is a male
Black Lab from
WinDogs in Middleton, Wisconsin.
He is partnered
with handler
Deputy Tony
Enger. Ty is trained
in tracking, search
and rescue, both
land and water
cadaver detection.
Ty is used to locate
missing or lost persons, article/area/building searches, disaster events
such as a Tornado or crashes, and criminal investigations. Ty serves
Local, Regional, State and Federal Government entities on Search and
Rescue incidents.
Rico is a Belgian Malanois and was imported from Holland to Vohne
Liche Kennels in Denver, Indiana. He is partnered with handler Deputy
Keith Kelly. Rico is trained as a dual-purpose canine because of the
multiple jobs he performs. Rico is a certified narcotics detector dog. He
is also trained in tracking and aggression. Rico can find suspects by
following their odor trail on the ground. He completes building and area
searches for suspects.
The vests for the new K-9’s will be provided by Wisconsin Vest-ADog. Wisconsin Vest-A-Dog was started in 2005 and is a non-profit, tax
deductible organization endorsed by the Wisconsin Veterinary Association. For more information on how you can help vest a local police K-9
go to the Wisconsin Vest-A-Dog program website www.wivestadog.org.

dog power success story
B
oth of our dogs were strays and we got them at around 9 months
old. Lucy who just passed (at 17 1/2 years old!) and Ivy is our
7 year old. Lucy was a Brittany Terrier Mix and Ivy is a Rat Terrier/
Chihuahua Mix.
Our dogs have always been on Dog
Power All Life Stages. On the food, they’ve
always maintained an excellent weight. They
have had consistent, healthy stools - never
diarrhea or soft stools. I feel good that the
food is made in Wisconsin. Our friend’s tried
to get us to switch to another brand dog
food to save us $3 per bag. We wouldn’t
even consider it. It isn’t worth the potential
health risks to save a few bucks. I strongly
believe that Mounds brand dog food has contributed to our dogs’ overall health. I like that it
is affordable and that there are Mounds locations in and around the Madison area making it
easy to purchase.
Ivy is also an excellent mouser. She and our
cat work together as a team to take down mice! (Some people might
not like this...but we live in the country and this is very helpful!). On a side
note, we also have our cats on the Mounds Purrfect Cat.
