Winter 2008 - Humane Society of Boulder Valley

Winter 2008
Dear Friends,
We enter 2008 with a sense of pride and gratitude. Our 2007 accomplishments exceeded expectations
and your support fueled our success. Last year we cared for more than 8,300 homeless animals—an
11% increase from the previous year. Additionally, we increased our adoptions by 26% with a record
4,652 adoptions. What is most amazing is that we achieved an 87% live release rate, representing
the animals that come to the Humane Society of Boulder Valley who were placed in new homes or
reunited with their guardians.
In this issue you will read about Lucy, a dog whose story speaks volumes about the network of
compassion you have helped to create for the animals in our care. There were 4,651 other stories
just as compelling as hers, with each adoption changing the dynamic of a family. From adoptions,
to finding a lost pet, to strengthening the human-animal bond through training, these are the
connections between a pet and a guardian that are the cornerstone of our mission. And we are
thankful for the connection you have with our organization. Through your support we gladly weave
those threads of compassion that strengthen the fabric of this community.
We have much planned for 2008. This year you will see a continuation of the initiatives we launched
in 2007 around training and behavioral modification. We will continue our medical rehabilitation
programs through our shelter medicine program. We will have a special focus on cats, working
on a local and national level to address the needs of this important population. We will continue
our lifesaving transfer efforts and work within the Metro Denver Shelter Alliance to save more
lives through collaboration and partnerships. Our new Humane Education program will provide
opportunities for the youth of our community to get involved and informed. These are just a few of
the highlights of our vision for the coming year.
Our commitment is to be excellent stewards of the resources you provide. To that end, a major
initiative will be to best use technology as a basis of communication. Please help us save on postage
and printing costs by signing up to receive this newsletter electronically by registering your
preference at www.boulderhumane.org/info.
Thank you again for all you do for the animals at the Humane Society of Boulder Valley.

with a little help from our friends
by Connie Howard, Director of Operations
Lucy had a run of bad luck. She had been hit by a car, severely injuring her rear leg. Her family hoped her
leg would heal on its own. After three weeks of Lucy hopping on three legs, they took her to a veterinary
clinic to see what was really going on. The diagnosis: Lucy would need major surgery. Since her family
couldn’t afford the surgery, they decided to relinquish her to the Humane Society of Boulder Valley.

With A Little Help
From Our Friends
(continued from front page)
LUCY’S
RECOVERY
This is where Lucy’s luck took a turn for the better. Our veterinary staff performed the
surgery. They concluded that her recovery would be slow with a guarded prognosis. Lucy
needed to be closely monitored through rehabilitation because she needed to start to use
her leg in order to keep it.
To ensure her progress, the staff knew she needed a foster family that would support her
recovery process. I was on the top of that list because I’ve often taken in foster dogs that
need a little extra care. What’s one more dog when you have four already! She quickly
settled in my home and loved the routine of coming to the office every day and the attention
from our veterinary technicians during her physical therapy. Though as sweet as could be,
Lucy was a stubborn girl and her progress was not what we hoped.
The doctors felt she needed more intensive therapy than we could provide. After
consultation with Dr. Matt Rooney of Flatiron Veterinary Specialists, the decision was made
for Lucy to receive underwater treadmill therapy. This therapy is costly and Lucy would
need to attend twice weekly sessions for eight weeks. We contacted the clinic that offers
the therapy and found that we had a friend running the program—someone that used to be a
volunteer for us. They offered to charge us half their normal fee.
The support of our friends continued. My childhood friend, MJ, from Crested Butte spent the
night at my home and Lucy worked her magic. MJ told her good friend Adelaide about Lucy,
hoping Adelaide would adopt her. Crested Butte did not have the facilities to support Lucy’s
rehab so Adelaide had to sadly decline adopting. The photos of Lucy touched Adelaide’s
heart so she made a generous contribution to support her care. My running partner and
another woman heard Lucy’s story and were so moved that they donated enough money to
cover her therapy and medications.
As Lucy made progress we could tell that she was ready to find a family of her own. Once
again our network of friends stepped in. The morning Lucy entered the adoption center, Lisa
Pedersen, our CEO, had a meeting with Lisa Merlino, a friend and colleague. Lisa instantly
thought of Lucy for the Merlino family and brought up a photo of Lucy on our adoption
website. That afternoon Lisa, Jim, Allison and Maggie came to meet Lucy and fell in love. As
the photo below shows, it is possible to live
happily ever after, especially when you are
surrounded by two sweet little girls.
Lucy and I would like to thank:
Adelaide Biggs
Ann Andrews
So to all our friends, you make our work
possible, rewarding and just plain fun,
thank you! Your compassion makes the
work we do at the Humane Society of
Boulder Valley possible and saves lives
like Lucy’s every day.

education
The Humane Society of Boulder Valley
promotes healthy relationships between
pets and people through our humane
education programs. We are excited to
announce that Natalie Senske is now our
full-time Humane Education Coordinator.
Throughout the year we will be offering
youth camps to educate our next
generation of pet guardians.
Puttin’ on the Leash 2008
This year’s Puttin’ on the Leash Gala event is scheduled for April 19 at the
Coors Event Center in Boulder. We understand that this date is in conflict
with the first night of Passover and for that we apologize. We want you
to know that when this conflict was first brought to our attention, we
immediately made every effort to change the date of this year’s event.
Unfortunately, because of contractual agreements we were unable to adjust
the date. We realize this date will impact many family celebrations and
therefore you may not be able to join us. We hope that if you can’t join us
this year, we will see you at Puttin’ on the Leash 2009.
“I love seeing each child’s face light up
when they interact with our many shelter
animals,” said Natalie.
Children from ages 6 to 11 will have
the opportunity to attend a variety of
humane education classes that instill
kindness, respect and responsibilities for
all animals while participating in plenty of
hands-on activities.
Visit our www.boulderhumane.org to see
our upcoming classes or call Natalie at
303-442-4030, ext.613.
Thank you,

Training and Behavior Manager
Q: Will I always need food to train my dog?
A: When teaching brand new behaviors, it is best to utilize a treat to lure the
dog’s body into the appropriate position. This method of luring is essential
for quick, accurate training of any new behavior and is much more effective
than physically placing your dog into position. Physical placement actually
inhibits learning! Think of learning a new dance step or yoga position or the
correct body placement for a push-up. We learn by trying the movements
and practicing until the motion becomes second nature, right? It would take
us much longer to learn the motion if someone else physically placed us in
position and then pushed and pulled us into the movements. Your dog will
learn much faster if his own muscles learn the position. Therefore, luring
builds quick, strong muscle memory in a very efficient manner!
As soon as your dog demonstrates his ability to perform the behavior, you
will quickly begin phasing out the use of food to lure your dog. At this time,
treats will be used only a as reward for good behavior.
While it will be important that you intermittently use some high-value reward
such as a treat, tennis ball, or opportunities for off-leash time, it will no longer
be necessary to reward with a treat for every instance of good behavior. And
your relationship will be one of joyful, enthusiastic companionship!

Superior Liquor knows the meaning of collaboration. They
created a holiday giving program to benefit the Humane
Society of Boulder Valley that generated more than $8,000.
Throughout the year, Superior Liquor customers collected points
for their purchases but instead of redeeming them for personal
use, many were inspired to donate them knowing that their
contributions would be tripled. Every point was matched dollar
for dollar by not only Superior Liquor but also Coors Brewing
Company and Moet & Chandon. Our deepest thanks goes to all
those who participated in the program.
