Honoring Medina County’s First Responders
A special opportunity to support the MCSPCA, 2015-2016 Rescue Calendar
The MCSPCA Rescue Team is honoring
Medina County’s first responders in a unique
way. They’ve spent countless hours visiting fire,
rescue, and police departments, photographing
the first responders with one or more of our
shelter animals. The reason for their hard work
was to compile the photos in a 15-month, 2016
calendar honoring our local heroes. Distribution
of the calendar began on the 14th anniversary
of 9-11, bringing to mind those other heroes
whose names are not mentioned in the
history books.
Proceeds from this special calendar
will go toward purchasing items to further
MCSPCA’s mission. Participating first
responders were recognized in a reception
at Buckeye Woods Park on September 11.
Calendar sponsors, SPCA volunteers, and
rescue team members and families were also
invited. What a great way to celebrate and
to thank the often-forgotten heroes of our
community for their courage
and sacrifices!

your very own Rescue Calender and

While this is a wonderful achievement,
we still have more work to do to
meet our Capital Campaign goal of
$575,000. These funds are needed
to ensure that we can cover our

Capital Campaign has cannibalized

We’re so grateful to all the
animal-lovers who are giving their

healthier, happier place for the rescue

Humphrey
Resisting that adorable face is simply not possible. Humphrey is a hound with a very real need,
the need to be part of your family. Stop by and play with him for a bit and I bet you
won’t be able to walk away from those sweet hound eyes. They say, “Take me home!”
HUMANE NEWS
New Humane Officer Joins MCSPCA
MSPCA welcomes Kate Marshall as the
new Humane Officer SPCA Medina County.
Her main responsibilities are to investigate
complaints of animal abuse, neglect,
abandonment and cruelty and to educate
the public in the mission of the SPCA.
Kate brings a wealth of knowledge and
experience to the position. Her employment
history reveals a person with a deep concern
for the welfare of both humans and animals.
both anesthesia and instrument care.
Non-surgical hours were spent performing
in-house blood chemistry, heart worm and
fecal analysis tests. In addition, she managed,
scheduled and organized the Boarding and
Grooming Facility for the hospital. Despite this
seemingly heavy workload, Kate began her
studies at Curry County Community College
Oh, yes. There is one more title Kate is
especially proud of: Mom. Her daughter
Sydney, 18, is a Freshman at Heidelberg
University and son Marshall, 17, is a Junior at
Medina County Career Center.
It was the influence of her military family that
guided her career choice to join the Navy
after high school. For eight years she traveled
the world as an Oceans Systems Technician/
Analyst, earning the rank of E-5 2nd Class
Petty Officer.
During her time in the Navy and the years since
her honorable discharge, Kate has spent her
volunteering and employment hours assisting
with or directly caring for animals. She worked
extensively with horses in both American
and German Shelters overseas, achieving
certification as an Equine Sports Massage
Therapist. She assisted in the handling of
horses during hippotherapy, which aides both
horses and humans through difficult times.
As a civilian, Kate gravitated to Animal
Hospitals for her employment. At the Chapparal
Small Animal Hospital in Clovis, N.M., she
spent a year handling routine clerical duties
such as scheduling surgeries and managing
client records. After a year, she knew she
needed to do more.
She moved on to All Pets Animal hospital,
also in Clovis, where she spent the next four
years assisting in surgery to include patient
preparation, surgery setup, and monitoring
became an SPCA Rescue Agent for our own
MCSPCA, handling the full range of duties
required by that position. By 2010, she was
well equipped to serve as the Humane Officer
for the North Ridgeville Police Department.
While serving there, she obtained her Safe
Capture International Certificate for Chemical
Immobilization of Animals.
While it’s obvious that Kate is highly qualified to
multi-task with the best of them, this writer sent
her a challenge she could not meet. During
a phone call inquiring if now was a good time
for an interview, she reluctantly replied, ‘I’m
sorry, it’s not. Right now I am up to my elbows
in kittens.’ Now there is a lady who has her
priorities in order.
Kate Marshall and Scruffy
to become a qualified Medical Technician. She
has since served in Medina County with both
the Lodi and Lafayette Fire Departments as an
EMT-Intermediate.
Family transitions brought her to Ohio in 2002
where her passion for the welfare of animals
continued. In very little time, Kate was hired by
the Berea Animal Shelter where she assisted
in the initial assessment and health check
for all shelter animals. In her normal pattern
of always seeking more responsibility, she

Scruffy
Scruffy is a five year old Maltipoo mix who finally
found his forever home last month. Timid with new
people, Scruffy just needed a family willing to be
patient and caring with him. He found just what he
was looking for on August 14th! Scruffy was known
for loving his belly rubs and the MCSPCA volunteers
were more than glad to obligue him. Who doesn’t
love a little belly rub on occassion!
Scruffy, we will miss you!

TANK
Once a Castaway
Anyone seeing Robbie, um, now Tank with
his new pet parent, Joshua Erskine, would
not believe that not too long ago he was a
castaway, wandering the streets and resting
on strangers’ porches. That life style changed
when a sympathetic human brought the shy
and frightened white Mastiff to the MCSPCA.
He was obviously hurting from an ugly, open
wound on his back. At first Robbie was too
scared to leave his kennel which was lined with
soft blankets and supplied with an assortment
of balls and squeaky toys. After a life on the
streets, maybe he thought his kennel was
probably a doggie Hyatt Regency.
In a couple of days Robbie charmed everyone
at the shelter with gentleness and cute antics.
The vet treated his infected wound and
removed a benign tumor. During his recovery,
Robbie enjoyed belly rubs to last him a lifetime.
His payment was lots of licks and love to
all those who fell for his puppy eyes. Since
he was permitted only short walks outside
because of the surgery, he was allowed
freedom in the large room whose one corner
was well-stocked with an assortment of dog

toys. It was hilarious watching an enormous
dog rummaging through toys, like a little child
in a toy store at Christmas time. Most dogs
prefer to be outside, away from their confining
kennel. Not Robbie! Even after only a short
walk, he couldn’t wait to return to his kennel
and the cache of toys he had stashed away.
Since the shelter was putting together a
Calendar containing photos of rescued animals
with first responders, there was no question
that Robbie should grace one of its pages.
And during that photo shoot, it was love at
first sight. Joshua Erskine of the Hinckley Fire
and Rescue was captivated by this massive,
gentle dog. Joshua made him part of his
family, and changed his name to Tank, for
obvious reasons. Recently Tank’s pet dad told
me his fur child is a wonderful dog who loves
children, enjoys catching balls, and slobbers.
I’m sure Tank gets plenty of belly rubs from
his new family, and I don’t think they mind
his slobbering. Considering all that he’s been
through, they must realize he’s happy, well
adjusted, very, very loving, and such a softie.

Fun and friendly, this guy is sure to bring lots
of joy to his new forever family! We asked Levi
before he packed up his toys and headed off
to his new home what he will miss most about

Congratulations, Levi! We will all miss

Deisel
Deisel’s new owner writes, “Diesel is
doing wonderfully in his new forever
home. He has adjusted well to his new
diet of IAMS Naturalistic puppy food, and
is always ready for meal time! We have
already had our first two puppy classes
at Medina Petsmart, with four left to go.
He is a very smart guy, and is doing well
so far. Our biggest issue that we are
continuing to deal with is sharp puppy
teeth, so he has a large variety of toys to
chew on. As expected, potty training has
good days and bad days, but is generally
doing well. Diesel is always on the move
(it is hard to get his picture unless he is
sleeping). He does love to cuddle, and
has recently discovered his new favorite
place to rest in a large papasan chair.
He loves being outside so he can keep
an eye on the yard. Overall, Diesel is a
great guy and we are so happy to have
him as part of our family. We are grateful
for the Medina County SPCA and the
work that it does to find pets like Diesel
good homes.”
Enjoy a great life Deisel!
Levi, we are so happy for you!

I have been offered the opportunity to participate in a program of the Medina County Society for
the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA) known as the “Paws for the Cause Race,” scheduled

MCSPCA GOLF OUTING
First Annual–August 16, 2015
The first annual SPCA Golf Outing was held at Deer Pass Golf Course on August 16, 2015.
Participants enjoyed lunch and a putting contest along with their 18 holes of golf. Non-golfers
arrived later to take part in the Chinese auction and enjoy the after-golf steak dinner prepared by
Chad Gibson and his Deer Pass team.
Between the proceeds of the day and subsequent donations received, a total of $1.368.00 was
netted for the Capital Campaign as a result of the event.
Many thanks to Denise Heroux, owner of Awesome Paws Pet Salon and Radhika Pathak, a
student from the Medina County Career Center, whose combined efforts made the outing a real
success. According to Ms. Heroux, she already has plans on how to make next years’ outing an
even bigger event for the SPCA.

Adoption stories
Belle &
Vy
TheGirls
Home At Last
“They’re so sweet!” exclaimed Nicci Avalon
when she saw the two sisters, Belle and Vy.
They are a Border Collie mix, and everyone
at the shelter called them “the girls.” Nicci
discovered them at the MCSPCA where she
accompanied her babysitter who adopted
Captain, a beautiful older puppy. Coming
home, Nicci couldn’t get them out of her mind.
Belle and Vy probably didn’t take her seriously
because since last March, they had seen many
humans come and go, but no one was willing
or able to take home two good-sized, bonded
females.
Perhaps if the girls were able to tell the
sad story of their past existence, someone
would have adopted them sooner, but it’s
just as well, for now they are living sparkling,
I
happy days with humans who treat them as
cherished family members. No longer do they
remember their lives spent in a filthy, cold
chicken coop of an animal hoarder’s premises.
Now their days are filled with fun and play in
the company of Andrew and Elliott, Nicci’s
two sons and their two cats. Belle and Vy
have become permanent fixtures at the boys’
soccer practices. When Andrew and Elliott
are practicing, Nicci takes the girls for walks
on the hiking trails. Belle still freaks out a bit
when she passes a biker or hears a strange
noise. And they both are still a little shy. But
like one of those slow-motion photo sequences
in which a rose unravels from a bud, they are
blossoming, revealing layers of sweetness and
gratitude to their adopted family.

Carolyn Swaney
Volunteer Carolyn, pictured with kitty Waffles, is a great help to the MCSPCA.
She comes in at least three days a week to help with administrative duties
and to love on the cats who are looking for some attention. She has been
volunteering for three years now and has two dogs and cat of her own,
two of which were adopted from at the Medina County SPCA.
Thank you for volunteering,
