HALIFAX HUMANE SOCIETY Est. 1937 Reaching New Heights! HHS WINS NATIONAL CLASSY AWARD page 5 HHS UNVEILS MOBILE ADOPTION VEHICLE page 10 REDINGER CLINIC CELEBRATES MOMENTOUS 1ST YEAR page 16 PREPARE YOUR PETS FOR HURRICANE SEASON page 17 1 SPRING/SUMMER 2013 EMAIL: [email protected] Letter from THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR L Halifax Humane Society Programs & Services ast year marked another milestone year for this community and its animals, as Halifax Humane Society celebrated its 75th Anniversary. In that time, we estimate that half a million animal lives have been touched by this organization and its comprehensive host of services. With the theme of this newsletter being “reaching new heights”, I would like to take a moment to share with you what the HHS has achieved in the last few years and what the future holds for our organization. •Adoption Center Since day one on the job, my personal goal has been to create an organization this community could be proud of, and that its animals could rely on. Being one of the last remaining open-admission facilities in Florida is no easy feat. However, the good work of our Board of Directors, staff, and volunteers has paid off by increasing adoptions by over 20% for two years in a row. These efforts were also acknowledged when HHS won the National CLASSY Award as the top charity in the nation in Animal Advocacy. Since then, our commitment to that original goal has only grown, and we now hope to expand and replicate our award winning programs in other communities as well. This is seen through our new animal behavior programs, legislative advocacy efforts, animal transfer vehicle, and spay/neuter transport programs. We are truly reaching new heights with these programs and more as they are already expanding our outreach into West Volusia County and facilitating partnerships in other regions. In short, we are redefining the standard for animal welfare organizations in our area and beyond. •Admission & Receiving Department To that end, by 2014 Halifax Humane Society will be one of five animal welfare organizations in the State of Florida with Charity Navigator’s top rating as a 4-star charity, competing with markets like Miami, Tampa, and Naples. Our size and spectrum puts us in the top 10% of animal welfare organizations in the entire United States, and locally we are one of the largest non-profits that do not receive any government funding. Halifax Humane Society programs continue to grow and serve animals, but our 50-year old facility will soon start to hamper our progress. Our animals deserve a facility that allows the continued growth of this organization, as we uphold our original mission of never closing our doors to an animal in need. As such, this year we are officially kicking off a capital campaign to renovate our building and hope to raise one dollar for every animals served in the last 75 years. We are asking every patron, donor, and friend to assist us in the process so that our forward progress continues. Donating during our half-million dollar capital campaign is a chance to leave a legacy that will care for yet another half a million animals. It’s about being a part of a community that cares and serving as a standard for others to do the same.

It is the belief of the Society that all living creatures possess an intrinsic value, which is manifested in its creation. Further, the Society believes that mankind must become a responsible steward of animals which he has domesticated and brought under his control. EMAIL: [email protected] 3 The Halifax Humane Society’s 75th Anniversary Commemorative Book is more than just a celebration of an animal shelter. This is a window into the compassion and caring for animals from employees, volunteers, supporters, and our community as a whole. It is the very best moments taken from 75 years of caring for the animals in our local community. The book includes hundreds of photographs and interesting stories from all eras of Halifax Humane Society’s vivid history. Read about the people, animals, and events that shaped Halifax Humane Society into the organization it is today. The book also includes a glimpse into 4WWW.HALIFAXHUMANESOCIETY.COM the current HHS programs that will improve the lives of animals as we transition into a new era. To purchase the HHS 75th Anniversary Book, visit halifaxhumanesociety.org, or pick up your copy at the shelter. By purchasing this book, you will be directly supporting the abused and abandoned animals of your community. We hope you enjoy our look back at some of the interesting animal stories and events from the past 75 years, and join us for at least 75 more in the name of our animals. HHS wins National CLASSY Award I n September 2012, Halifax Humane Society was selected as the National Winner for Animal Advocacy and Services at the 4th Annual CLASSY Awards ceremony. The award was presented at philanthropy’s biggest night, the CLASSY Awards’ red carpet ceremony in San Diego, CA. It is the largest philanthropic award ceremony in the country, recognizing the top charitable achievements around the world. From a pool of over 2,400 nominations submitted to StayClassy, Halifax Humane Society’s achievement story stood out as the best. Halifax Humane Society’s story detailed the widespread changes made in 2011-12 that improved its ability to save animals and combat the pet overpopulation problem. “Halifax Humane Society in 2011 decided it was time for a new direction, all with one mission in mind – to enhance our services,” said HHS Executive Director Miguel Abihassan. “We took our programs from 18 to 38 in a year and a half, and in so doing we increased our adoptions by 21%. In the next year, we hope to launch a new program in which we can train other humane societies to accomplish what we have done here. To all those who took that journey with us, this award is for you.” CLASSY Awards Leadership Council, a 30-person panel comprised of industry leaders and experts. HHS earlier won the South Region and became eligible for the national award through a combination of public voting and judging by industry professionals. The National Winners in each category were determined by the EMAIL: [email protected] 5 Letter from the DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR Showcasing Our Community T here have been numerous times in our community that I am amazed by the generosity of the people who live, work, and play here in Volusia County. Whether it has been individuals donating time or money, it seems that when a need arises, the community steps up. And Halifax Humane Society does not forget that we are not only recipients of generosity, but are also willing to lend a hand when we are able to help. Recently, the Council on Aging had a need to assist Meals on Wheels recipients with food for their animals. Due to receiving a large donation of dog and cat food, we were able to fill that need and work with the group to make sure their animals were well fed. When the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) was interested in relocating their international conference, we worked closely with the Ocean Center to bring the group here to Daytona Beach along with their much-needed dollars that will flow into the local economy. Hundreds of animal welfare groups will be sending their staff to learn from the HSUS, and will be taking advantage of the opportunity to witness our award-winning programs in person, having recently gained national recognition. Unfortunately, while our programs are second to none, our facility is lacking the representation that this community deserves and our animals need. And so we are asking for your help to prepare our facility for the Humane Society of the United States International Expo in May 2014. The Daytona Beach area is home to the World’s Most Famous Beach and the Daytona International Speedway, icons throughout the country. This community has many treasures that are cornerstones for tourism and economic development. Halifax Humane Society has hopes of joining those icons and becoming a model for animal welfare organizations throughout the country. We want visitors to see not only how to care for homeless and abused animals, but how to strengthen the animal-human bond, shaping the way a community cares for its animals. Whether you are able to donate dollars or get your hands dirty along with our staff, we are hoping to complete a facelift to the façade that will include painting, landscaping, construction, and even a monument sign to welcome visitors. We will complete our capital campaign and overhaul the inside of our facility to increase program efficiency, improve animal health, and increase adoptions. However, this current need is time sensitive in order for HHS to showcase our organization and our community to animal lovers from all over the world. If all our supporters in the community can pool their talent and resources together to lend a hand or a dollar, we can transform Halifax Humane Society into a place we are all eager to present to fellow animal lovers visiting our wonderful community. Thank you, Bryan Williams Development Director 6WWW.HALIFAXHUMANESOCIETY.COM Meet the 2013 HHS PETS OF THE YEAR!

The vehicle is the latest component of a rapidly growing adoption program at HHS, which improved its adoption numbers by 23% and 20% respectively in 2011 and 2012, and is seeing similar increases so far in 2013. It will allow HHS to showcase its animals at large “mega-adoption” events in major metropolitan areas, offering more exposure to HHS animals than ever before. The vehicle took its first voyage in late May, transferring 35 animals (20 dogs, 15 cats) to the Humane Society for Greater Savannah. The animals participated in a mega-adoption event there. HHS expects to take the vehicle all over the North and Central Florida region to large community events, where it can help find new homes for its animals. At Halifax Humane Society, we often discuss the fact that, despite our location in a smaller city, we receive and care for a number of animals that is comparable to much larger metropolitan areas, such as Orlando or Atlanta. The new mobile adoption vehicle offers the opportunity for our animals to gain exposure at large metropolitan events and “mega-adoption” weekends. 10WWW.HALIFAXHUMANESOCIETY.COM In addition to its use for adoption events, the vehicle will also be used to transport groups of animals to be sterilized at the HHS Redinger Spay/Neuter Clinic. The Redinger Clinic is a state-of-the-art clinic that specializes specifically on pet sterilization at affordable rates. In just over a year since its grand opening, the clinic has already performed over 8,000 surgeries. By using the new vehicle to transport animals to the Redinger Clinic, HHS will be able to reach new groups of pet owners that may have been unable to use its services otherwise. The vehicle was custom built using funds provided through a grant from The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA). High-volume adoption events and targeted spay/ neuter programs are among the organization’s top priorities in 2013, making the vehicle grant a perfect match. The HHS Mobile Adoption vehicle will be traveling to large events all over Central Florida. Sponsorship opportunities on the vehicle are available, please contact Bryan Williams at (386) 274-4703 ext. 322 Cinco De Meow-O A WILD SUCCESS T his year’s Cinco De Meow-O adoption promotion was even more popular than the first. Sixty-five cats found homes during the promotion, exceeding the 2012 total of 47! Cat lovers piled into the HHS shelter from May 3-5, looking for their favorite feline. Finding homes for cats is especially important in the spring and summer. The term “kitten season” is used in the animal welfare community to describe the time of year when cat reproduction is at its peak. It typically begins in late spring/early summer, and continues into the fall. The effect is amplified in Florida due to the warm weather. Since many Florida winters lack an extended stretch of cold weather, the impact is even greater in our area, and shelters quickly reach capacity. While this year’s Cinco De Meow-O promotion was finding homes for cats, the 2012 Cinco De Meow-O poster garnered some attention of its own. It was selected at the HSUS International Animal Care Expo as the Innovation Station first prize winner in the adoption category. The Innovation Station contest features creative efforts from animal welfare groups all over the United States and Canada. Expo attendees then pick their favorite posters and vote for the winner. As this year’s winner, the Cinco De Meow-o poster will now be available to shelters worldwide for their use in similar promotions.

Through June 2013, 117 dogs have completed the training program, which boasts a 100% adoption rate. In the Prison Pups N Pals program, Halifax Humane Society works alongside the West Volusia Kennel Club and inmates at the Tomoka Correctional Institute. Inmates learn dog obedience training techniques from the West Volusia Kennel Club’s professional trainers. They are then able to take that knowledge and use it to train their selected dog. The program serves a dual purpose that leads to positive futures for both the inmates and the dogs. The dogs receive obedience training that increases their adoptability and prepares them for life in a new forever home. Meanwhile, the inmates are educated on animal care and proper training methods, helping them gain skills that could lead them to jobs in animal services in the future. 12WWW.HALIFAXHUMANESOCIETY.COM While in the program, the dogs learn all basic commands and some unique tricks as well. By the time each dog finishes the program, it is highly trained, obedient, housebroken, spayed/neutered, up-to-date on vaccinations, and micro-chipped. Prison Pups make great pets for any family, as their training eases the transition into a new home. After adopting a Prison Pup, new owners receive a free seven-week obedience-training program, further easing the transition to a new home. Of the 117 Prison Pups, 18 completed a second month of training to be a part of the Paws of Freedom program. Paws of Freedom matches veterans with companion dogs. Last year, the Department of Veterans Affairs joined the existing Prison Pups N Pals program to create Paws of Freedom. Each class of Prison Pups now has two dogs selected to stay for an additional seven weeks of training in order to become a companion dog for a veteran. These dogs help owners that may be suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), providing them with emotional support. Following adoption, veterans associated with Paws of Freedom receive additional financial support, a care package, and one year of pet health insurance to help them with their new companion dog. According to Muni-Sathoff Paws of Freedom follows a collective body of research data that supports the overall benefit of companion dogs to the psychological and physiological health of individuals with whom they interact, especially their owners. To learn more about Prison Pups N Pals, visit www.halifaxhumanesociety.org/ppnp.html, or look for the Pups N Pals Facebook page. Quotes from the Veterans: “She has been a tremendous help with loneliness…I sleep a lot better with her in the house. My overall anxiety level is lower with her around.” “He keeps me calm…when I’m down, he sits next to me.” “He is always trying to make me laugh… he makes me happy!” “My dog gives me a reason to live.” “I like how he can make me feel loved when I’m down.” EMAIL: [email protected] 13 HHS Thrift Store ON THE MOVE H alifax Humane Society’s thrift store has an exciting summer in store, as it will be relocating to Ormond Beach! The new location of the store will be 333 West Granada Boulevard, Suite 250, in the Gold’s Gym and Ace Hardware plaza. The new location will open in August. While we prepare for the grand opening of the new location, we are in search for great items to stock the store. All donations to the thrift store help support HHS animals. If you have new or gently used items that you think we could use, contact us at (386) 322-7717. In the meantime, you can support the current HHS Thrift Store (1027 Nova Road in Holly Hill) by purchasing items, making donations, or helping out as a volunteer. Some people choose to do all three! Contact manager Meg Evans at (386) 322-7717 for more information. All proceeds from the thrift store benefit Halifax Humane Society animals. 14WWW.HALIFAXHUMANESOCIETY.COM HHS Debuts PAWS Summer Camp T his summer, Halifax Humane Society introduced the Pals of Animal Welfare and Sheltering (PAWS) Summer Camp for the first time! The camp is open to children ages 8-11, and offers the perfect experience for a young animal lover. experience learning about dogs, cats, bunnies, birds, marine life, and more. They will tour various areas of the HHS shelter, work with HHS staff, hear from the HHS veterinarian, and learn from wildlife experts that visit the camp. A field trip to Ponce Inlet’s Marine Science Center is also included in the camp. HHS hopes to make its PAWS Summer Camp a yearly staple event, helping to encourage the next generation of animal advocates. Studies have shown that children with pets learn responsibility, compassion, and empathy. They also tend to have higher levels of self-esteem and improved social skills. Admission to the camp is $125/camper. This covers all five days of the camp, one t-shirt, snacks and drinks, field trip admission, and materials. Additional camp T-shirts will be available for purchase. To learn more, or to register your child for HHS PAWS Summer Camp, contact Cindi Walsh at (386) 2744703 ext. 326. Please hurry, as space is limited to 20 children per class. Children at the camp will gain firsthand Meet Your Match @ HHS A s we at Halifax Humane Society have explored different avenues for boosting adoptions, the Meet Your Match program stood out as a perfect fit. In 2012, HHS worked directly with the ASPCA to implement the program at our shelter. The Meet Your Match program has raised adoptions by as much as 40-50% in other animal shelters. In the Meet Your Match program, pets go through assessments, known as Feline-ality for cats and Canine-ality for dogs. These assessments divide the pets into one of three categories, each of which contains three more sub-categories based on the pet’s primary source of motivation (internal, external, or social). For example, a “green” dog can either be the life of the party, a go-getter, or a free spirit. An “orange” dog may be a wallflower, a busy bee, or a goofball. Finally, a “purple” dog can be classified as a couch potato, a constant companion, or a teacher’s pet. When potential adopters arrive at Halifax Humane Society, they take a short quiz to determine which category of pets is the best match for their lifestyle. A couple of example questions are “Do I want my cat to play with toys?” and “Do I want my cat to interact with guests that come to my house?” After completing the quiz, the potential adopter enters the adoption areas, where they will find each pet’s MYM color labeled on its kennel. Now that they know which color to look for, it is a much easier process to find a new best friend. If an adopter decides they would prefer a different dog or cat instead, no problem! We are very confident in the Meet Your Match assessments and think they are great tools to match people with pets, but it is not a requirement to adopt from the color assigned to you. If you are ready to find a new best friend, take the guesswork out of the equation this time. Try the Meet Your Match program at Halifax Humane Society and let the scientifically proven program work for you!

In the short time it has been open, the clinic has already made tremendous strides toward reducing and eventually eliminating the pet overpopulation problem in the Greater Daytona area. The Redinger Clinic hosted its Grand Opening celebration on April 12, 2012, and hosted its first full day of operations on April 17, completing 32 surgeries. In its first year of operations, the clinic performed 7,705 spay/neuter surgeries, sterilizing 2,898 dogs and 4,807 cats. Even with adoption numbers on the rise at Halifax Humane Society, reducing intake must be a top priority when combating the pet overpopulation problem. According to national estimates, the surgeries performed at the Redinger Clinic in its first year prevented over 2,000 dogs and 2,700 cats from entering animal shelters. In addition to its regular daily spay/neuter schedule, the Redinger Clinic has also been used to complete major spay/neuter initiatives and fulfill grant projects received by HHS. Beat the Heat (300 female cat spays) and Primp Your Pit (250 Pit Bull spay/neuter surgeries) were two notable projects that Halifax Humane Society was able to successfully complete at the Redinger Clinic. The clinic was also used to provide free spay/neuter surgeries to the Rescue a Life group for a colony of cats being displaced by a Daytona Beach construction project. During the planning stages of the clinic, longtime animal welfare supporters Alan & Mary Ann Redinger made a generous $50,000 donation toward the project. This contribution allowed Halifax Humane Society to outfit the building as a state-of-the-art spay/neuter clinic. Alan passed away in 2012, but the clinic continues to move forward in his honor. A PetSmart Charities grant also allowed for the purchasing of the necessary equipment to operate the clinic. The surgical standards at the Redinger Clinic are derived 16WWW.HALIFAXHUMANESOCIETY.COM from Humane Alliance, an organization that has been a catalyst for, and strategy behind, a nationwide movement to execute the best defense against euthanasia, namely prevention by sterilization. So far, over 115 new spay/ neuter clinics across the United States have opened under its mentor program. Spay/neuter surgeries at the Redinger Clinic start as low as $25, and prices vary based on species, gender, and weight. The surgeries are subsidized in part by grants from PetSmart Charities. To schedule a spay/neuter surgery for your pet, please call 310-4935. The Redinger Clinic is located at 600 Mason Avenue in Daytona Beach, next to ARNI. Prepare for Hurricane Season With an Emergency Plan H urricanes are a known threat to Floridians, and for pet owners without an emergency plan in place, they can pose serious problems. Each year, hurricane season runs from June 1-November 30. However, we have learned in past years that tropical storms can form even outside of these dates. A hurricane preparedness plan is important for residents of any coastal region. However, humans are not the only ones that need to be prepared during inclement weather. Pet owners should have an emergency plan that accounts for their animals as well, and should always be aware of the potential for evacuation in their area. A well-organized plan should help you and your pet make it safely through another hurricane season. Pre-storm preparation is critical for you and your pet(s). If you wait until a storm is bearing down on your home, it may be too late. Create a checklist of pet supplies you will need. This should include leashes/collars, current ID tags and/or registered microchips, a three-day supply of food and water, medical records, ownership papers, a current photo, a crate, towels/blankets, and toys. Make sure to have these items on hand now, instead of waiting until a storm approaches. Remember that tens of thousands of people could be in the same situation, and stores often run out of items during emergencies. If you are ordered to evacuate as a storm draws near, never leave your pets behind or turn them loose. Pets are domesticated animals that cannot survive on their own. Look for a friend or relative that will take you and your pet into their home, or check online for pet friendly motels. Again, planning early will benefit you, since many other people will also be looking for places to stay. Most animal shelters, including Halifax Humane Society, do not board pets. In Volusia County, if you have no other place to go, you and your pets can go to the Deland Fairground People and Pets Shelter. Space is limited, so please make that your last resort. When returning after a storm, keep pets on a leash until they readjust to their surroundings. Watch for downed power lines and other debris that pose dangers to you and your animals, and beware of standing water and other animals.

That is not the case, however. There are many ways to support Halifax Humane Society through our Planned Giving Program, and those gifts often cost nothing during your lifetime. Thanks to the generosity of HHS Board President Mel Stack, if you name HHS in your will, Mel will prepare it free of charge. By remembering HHS in your will, you will guarantee that your love for animals will be expressed forever. Many of the programs in place at HHS today are funded from bequests left to us by generous donors. For instance, our low-cost spay/neuter program, our cat adoption cages, and our puppy/small dog room are all results of someone’s gift to HHS and our animals. For more information about HHS programs and funding needs, please contact HHS Development Director Bryan Williams at (386) 274-4703 ext. 322. 444 Seabreeze Boulevard, Suite 1003 • Daytona Beach, FL 32118 EMAIL: [email protected] 19 Memorials Kelley; Honey Anderson - Marlene Anderson; Howard “Ron” Ramsey - Karen & Craig White; Howard Ron Ramsey - Greg Luther; Ida Agnes Emory - Janet Powell; Isaac Johnston - Matt and Wanda Lynch; Isaac Johnston - Scott & Kristi Drumheller; Isaac Johnston Winston Stewart; Jack Lippman - Jill Kalfin; Jack R Bodne - Mary-Ann Wilson; Jack White - Laurie Badolato; Jack White - Valerie Bradley; James Carriveau - Jac Leen; James Carriveau - Joyce Frazier; James Carriveau - Richard & Patricia Tufano; James Carriveau - Robert Warnke; James Carriveau - William & Dorothy Wagner; James Duane Brown - Paula Burdine; James Duane Brown - Richard M.
