One year ago, on February 11th, 2011, the Medina SPCA removed
124 dogs from a hoarding home in Gloria Glens, Ohio. That event
did many things for the SPCA; it taxed our resources, overwhelmed our volunteers and, in a positive way, changed the way
many people see and think about the SPCA of Medina County
today.
On a much smaller scale, and with the same fervor and enthusiasm of that fateful day in February, we do the same thing every day of the year at
the SPCA. So it is very important that we all take time to celebrate the little things
and the day-to-day joys that make our hearts sing doing what we do. It is because
of those joys that I felt it was important to share the following story with all of
you…….may you too celebrate all you do in helping us care for these animals:

Very pregnant Aphrodite and
her seven puppies
One year ago this month (2/13/11 to be exact), a batch
of 14 Cairns came into Col. Potter Rescue, named the
“Famous Lovers” because of their Valentine’s Day
arrival. Aphrodite, Paola, Adonis, Cyrano, Heloise,
Echo, Francesca, Roxanne, Narcissus, Pierrot, Abelard, Pierette, Juliet, and Romeo.
They all grab you, but one of them stole our hearts,
and as soon as we saw this photo, we applied to
adopt her. Aphrodite waited until she was safe and
warm in CP’s loving arms
to bring her six puppies
into the world, lovingly
fostered in Missouri by
Stacey and Alice Wagers.
Her pups were named
Yertle the Turtle, Lori the Lorax, Star Bellied Sneetch,
Mulberry, Marvin K. Mooney and Horton, all after Dr.
Suess characters.
Aphrodite -- NOW TESS -- is our little “Princess Angel.”
We gave her our beloved Miri’s birthday (February 10)
and estimate her to be 2 years old. Miri crossed the
Rainbow Bridge November 22, 2010, and we believe she
sent us Tess to fill that hole in our hearts.

President’s Message
Hub Marquis, SPCA President
Happy New Year to all of our loyal members of the Medina County SPCA. As we reflect on 2011, it was a very
busy year. The association brought in over 1200 animals. This had to be a new record for the SPCA, and it certainly put a lot of stress on our people as well as our facility.
We appreciate all of our volunteers who help us daily and without whom we would not be able to save all the
animals that we do. The SPCA would not be able to function without all the hard work our volunteers put in on a
regular basis.
We also really appreciate all the kind donations that are given regularly. People are donating food and necessary
items for the animals or making a monetary donation. All are very much appreciated.
I would also like to note that the SPCA and our Executive Director, Stephanie Moore, have been mentioned multiple times in articles
in the Medina Gazette, the Sun Newspapers and the Medina Post. The news agencies have helped get the word out to the county
about many of the stories concerning the animals that have been neglected or abused. They have also kept the people up to date on
raids/rescues that our hard working Rescue Team unfortunately has to perform on a regular basis.
Finally, as a reminder, please check the Fundraiser calendar of events to know when the many events are happening so you can participate in helping raise funds for the organization. Recently we had a very successful “Night at the Races” and we will be having our
annual Dinner Auction on April 28th. As always, Thanks to all of you for your continued support of the SPCA.
I believe in animal rights, and high among them is the right to the gentle stroke of a human hand. (Robert Brault)
A Day in the Life of a Humane Officer
Mary Jo Johnson
Look at this weather----rain, snow, temperatures going up and down from the teens to the fifties all
in one day. Imagine for a moment that you live outside, 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 52 weeks
a year, with little or no protection from the elements. Your roommates might be a scary spider, a
hungry rat, a lonely kitten, a backyard dog, or an old horse. Is this acceptable shelter?
Legal accepted shelter for livestock animals can simply be a tree or a dip in the land, a round bale of
hay, or a lean-to with three sides. Any natural or man-made wind block can be considered shelter.
We would rather see livestock in a barn with clean, wholesome water and fresh hay. A cat or kitten
can just curl up in any small space, like a bucket or under a wooden front porch, to keep warm,
hopefully in a dry place that will keep out the unpredictable wind and rain. A raccoon can burrow in the ground to escape the rain.
But imagine being a dog, living in a 4’x6’ chain link kennel, or just in a backyard, without a plastic doghouse in which to curl up and
stay warm, unable to escape the wind, cold, rain, snow or sweltering heat. Meals come once, maybe twice a day, and it’s a welcome
relief from the boredom and discomfort you experience day in and day out. The human that brings
the food usually yells at you to stop jumping but you are so excited to see him that you can’t sit still.
He doesn’t understand that you are saying, “Hello, I’m glad you’re here! I have waited all day to see
you! Thank you for coming! Hello, can you hear me?” Then the human leaves, and you eat, lie down
again, and wait hopefully to see something to entertain you. Is this acceptable?
When you look into the eyes of a stray animal you realize how the laws have to change from seeing
animals as property to seeing them as a warm beating heart in need of a home. I ask everyone to
look for ways to change the laws that protect our four legged friends when you are lying in your
warm, comfortable bed tonight. If you want more information about dogs living on chains and
what you can do about it, please visit the following website: www.dogsdeservebetter.org.
Prosecutor's Corner
J. Jeffrey Holland, SPCA Prosecutor
The SPCA investigates and prosecutes violations of Ohio’s animal cruelty laws. We are thankful for the
hard work of Humane Agent Mary Jo Johnson for bringing these cases to light. Here are some recent ones:
James Kopacz was charged with animal cruelty for neglecting to properly care for a rabbit, which was
called in to the SPCA by a local veterinarian. The rabbit was badly matted and covered in urine scalds.
Mr. Kopacz pled no contest to the offense. His sentence is deferred to allow him to complete a two-year
diversion program. If he is successful, the charge will be dismissed at his costs. If he fails to complete
diversion, the matter will be set for sentencing. Among other things, Mr. Kopacz will be able to keep only
one dog and a tank of fish, and will be subject to random inspections. He will reimburse the SPCA for our
vet expenses. This program was offered to Mr. Kopacz because he did seek veterinary assistance, even
though he waited too long to do so.
Augie and Stephanie Katona of Hinckley are awaiting trial in the Medina Municipal Court on seven charges for alleging animal neglect regarding 31 dogs, 5 cats, 2 horses, and a number of other domestic animals. We are waiting for a court ruling before the case
can proceed.
Penny Nicholson was found guilty of one count of companion animal cruelty in the Wadsworth Municipal Court. The charge involved failing to provide care for a dog after its leg was fractured, and for lack of adequate food. She was sentenced to 30 days in jail,
suspended. She must complete one year of probation, during which she is permitted to own only one spayed or neutered dog. She is
subject to random inspections by the SPCA. She was also fined $150 plus court costs, and must perform 24 hours of community service.
Dale Lind. Two separate cases were pending against Dale Lind: The first case was about neglect of a cow. The other case involved
neglect of sheep, calves and chickens, cockfighting and possession of cockfighting implements (known as possession of criminal
tools). There were 6 counts in all.
Lind pled to 2 counts of animal cruelty and the one count of possession of criminal tools. The other counts were dismissed.
Lind surrendered all of the animals which were seized and retained by the SPCA. The SPCA waived any claim for restitution for the surrendered animals. Judge Dale Chase set the sentencing hearing for November 5, 2012. Until then, Lind will
be subject to random, unannounced inspections by the Probation Department and the SPCA. In addition, Lind will continue
to be inspected by the Ohio Department of Agriculture.
Amber Svoboda of Brunswick pled to one count of cruelty to a cat. The other charge was dismissed. The cat was found covered in
maggots and unfortunately had to be euthanized for humane reasons. Svoboda was sentenced by Judge Chase to 90 days in jail, suspended, a $200 fine, court costs and $100 restitution paid to the SPCA. She will be on probation for 5 years. During that time, she is
not permitted to have any animals, and her property is subject to random inspections.
Phyllis Jeffries of Westfield Center pled to 2 counts of companion animal cruelty relating to 44 cats and a dog. Two counts were dismissed. Jeffries was sentenced by Judge McIlvaine to 90 days in jail, suspended, and will serve the maximum probation term of 5
years. She must complete 24 hours of community service; complete a mental health assessment, and follow any recommendations for
treatment; may only possess one cat and one dog, spayed or neutered; and is subject during probation to random unannounced inspections by the SPCA.
Charles Kovach faces 5 counts of cruelty pertaining to the care of his 5 horses. Charges are pending in the Medina Municipal Court.
Amy Clark was charged with three counts of animal abandonment for leaving three boxes of cats and kittens at the SPCA facility late
at night. Charges are pending in the Medina Municipal Court.
Mary Ann O’Brien is charged with 4 counts of companion animal cruelty for allegedly neglecting 4 cocker spaniels. Trial is scheduled for March 8th in the Wadsworth Municipal Court. She faces another charge for a separate cocker spaniel. Trial is not yet set in
that case.
The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated. (Gandhi)
Humane Education
Erin Lowe, SPCA Humane Educator
Rome Wasn’t Built in a Day……
In the previous newsletter I told you how my husband
and I were expecting our first two-legged son (we are
already proud parents to Jack, our six year old puggle).
This is the follow up on how things went the first few
weeks we were home.
On December 13th our son, Aiden, was born—8lbs, 3oz,
21 1/2” of perfect, bouncing boy. When we arrived home
on the evening of the 15th, I was very anxious. How
would Jack react? Did I do everything I could have to make this transition as easy as
possible? If Jack doesn’t like Aiden, what do we do?
I had done a ton of research on how to introduce your two-legged baby to your four-legged baby. Bring home a blanket from the hospital with the baby’s scent on it was the one tip that stuck out to me, so we did that. When we came home, we found Jack in his
‘house’ (his kennel) wearing a shirt that says, “I’m a big brother!”with Aiden’s hospital blanket under his feet. I took Jack out back to
run around and when we came back in the house, he ran over to Aiden, who was fast asleep in his car seat. Jack started whining. A
lot.
He started licking Aiden, panting heavily and his eyes looked like they were about to pop out of his face! We realized, very quickly, it
was too much for Jack. My husband took him out front for a walk, while I settled in with Aiden. The first hour all four of us were in
the house together, Jack’s level of anxiety went from zero to off the charts. Thankfully he has his ‘house’ to go into to calm down.
Our first night with Aiden was wonderful. Jack was the problem child that night. The next morning I was getting frustrated with the
situation. How could I make it easier for Jack? How can I let Aiden understand he’s a little brother? How can I make our house a comfortable home again with this super cute addition? And that’s when it hit me, that Rome wasn’t built in a day. How could I possibly
expect Jack to understand what is happening overnight?
Over the next few days, Jack realized things were different, but okay. We kept taking him for walks, giving him positive reinforcement and even when we were so tired we couldn’t see straight, we’d sit on the floor to play with our first, four-legged son.
Aiden is now seven weeks old and Jack has become very supportive of his big brother role. Whenever someone other than my husband or I holds Aiden, Jack sits next to them the entire time, or walks next to them while they are holding him. Even with all the tips
we researched, the only way to know how Jack would react, was to have it happen.
Now that things are settled down and routines are in place, Jack adores his little brother. Every now and then he has a bad day, and
when he does, I just remind myself, “Rome wasn’t built in a day.”
Tech Talk
Reagan Bednar, Registered Veterinary Technician
Do you ever wonder, when you go your Veterinarian with your new kitten, why
they recommend a test for FELV? And what is FELV? What do these four letters
stand for and why are they so important? FELV stands for Feline Leukemia Virus.
Feline Leukemia is a virus that is transmitted from Mom to kitten, from a bite
wound where blood or saliva is exchanged, and fecal matter and urine.
In the United States, approximately 2 to 3% of all cats are infected with FELV. Rates
rise significantly—13% or more—in cats that are ill, very young, or otherwise at high risk of infection.
Often we do not know when our cats and kittens are infected with FELV until they are very sick. The
symptoms of FELV are poor coat condition, loss of appetite, slow weight loss, persistent fever and diarrhea, upper respiratory, skin and urinary infections and dental disease. FELV can be diagnosed with a
blood test. If your cat is negative, they should receive vaccinations and boosters every 3 years. Unfortunately, if your cat tests positive, there is no treatment or cure for the disease.
A FELV positive cat can live 2-3 years after being infected; they should be separated from other cats in
the household, spayed or neutered and fed a nutritionally balanced diet. All cats and kittens should be
tested for FELV to help prevent the spread of such a serious and fatal disease.

Fundraising Fun
Joanne Knudsen
We continue to have fun raising money for the animals. In December, Barb Havlin and Sue Nisoff
again chaired our “Pet Pictures with Santa” at Medina PetSmart. This event made approximately
$400 for the animals. Thanks to all of the volunteers who helped with Pet Pictures and thanks to
Medina PetSmart for allowing us to do this at their store.
Our Entertainment book sales are finished. Profit from book sales and donations from Buehler’s
shoppers totaled just under $6,300. Thanks to all of the many volunteers who sat at our table, answering questions, passing out information, and selling the books. The four Buehler’s stores in Medina County; Forest Meadows, River Styx, Brunswick, and Wadsworth each allowed us to sit at their
stores for three days. Thanks to Buehler’s Fresh Foods for its continued support. We are planning to
sell Entertainment books and Our Town and All Around books again next year.
We have just finished another fun fundraiser, our Second Annual “Night at the Races” event. This year it was held at
Rustic Hills Country Club. We had 129 in attendance. First, our
Night at the Races 2012
patrons were treated to a delicious buffet of pizza, wings, pasta,
salad, chips, beer, pop and dessert. We had Chinese auction items,
a 50/50 raffle, $2 and $5 sideboards, door prizes, and ten races on
which to wager. Many people “named” their own horse for $20 and
if their horse(s) happened to win their races, they were given a $25
gift card. Thanks to all who generously sponsored this event.
Thanks, also to those who donated auction items, door prizes, and
desserts. And last, but not least, thanks to all of our volunteers who
sold tickets and generally helped to make this event a success! This
year’s “Night at the Races” earned over $6,200. (In 2011, we earned
about $4,700.) We hope to make this an annual event. Thanks to
Don Laub and Lloyd Knudsen for chairing this fundraiser.
Watch for our 9th annual dinner auction coming up on April 28 at
The Medina Eagles. It will be “Raining Cats and Dogs.” This promises to be another fun evening.
Come and join us at our monthly fundraising meetings on the first Thursday of each month at 6 p.m. Our new meeting place is RIVER STYX BUEHLERS COMMUNITY ROOM (Rt. 18 and River Styx Rd., Medina.)
