October-December 2012

You’re invited to Oahu’s animal summit On Saturday, November 10, the Hawaiian Humane Society will gather animal lovers and rescue groups, pet owners and policy makers, as well as veterinarians and more to explore ways to address Oahu’s animal issues with national and local experts.

Honolulu Deputy Prosecuting Attorney Jan Futa will present Hawaii’s history of animal crimes as well as the evolution of animal-related laws, rights of citizens versus animals, high-profile cases and changing attitudes towards animal offenses.

The summit gets under way at 10 am and concludes at 1:30 pm with an optional tour of the Hawaiian Humane Society campus just down the road from the conference center.

Learn more about pet acquisition and ownership, health care and veterinary trends and how to create an animal-friendly community.

Summit speakers include national expert Ken White, president and CEO of Peninsula Humane Society & SPCA in San Mateo, California, sharing his experience in working for a variety of animal welfare organizations and how some communities have successfully addressed animal overpopulation through collaborative partnerships across all sectors.

To register for the Humane Society’s Animal Summit at the Japanese Cultural Center visit HawaiianHumane.org or call 356-2223. The $40 registration fee includes a buffet lunch. Scholarships are available.

Caring for Oahu’s animals like family The Hawaiian Humane Society guarantees a home for 100 percent of the healthy, adoptable cats and dogs that come to us. Animals remain with us to receive love and care as long as it takes to find a new family. Our commitment includes significant medical and behavioral health services, as well as quality-oflife care so that as many as possible can get their best start.

Our goal is to continue to help an ever-increasing number of animals with treatable medical issues.

For example, Flip arrived to the Hawaiian Humane Society with a congenital tumor and deformed hind leg, which led to a hernia and great suffering. His owners could not afford the veterinary care to improve his quality of life and they no longer wanted him. We knew that with medical care funded by our Max’s Fund we could meet his medical needs and certainly find him a new family. And we did just that.

In the recent high-profile Waimanalo cruelty case, some have

Thanks to Max’s Fund, Flip has a new lease on life.

asked why the rescue of 230 dogs and puppies cost so much.

While many caring clinics donated their time, expertise and thousands of dollars in charity care, $100,000 still needed to be paid to community veterinarians for services beyond our own clinic’s capabilities. That included laboratory services such as blood analysis, x-rays, orthopedic surgery and more. Ongoing expenses included monthly health exams, vaccinations, sterilization surgery, anesthesia, dental surgery, disease management and so much more.

Outside of special cases, our routine care for adoptions animals include a multitude of services to get them ready for adoption from spay/ neuter surgery to distemper and parvo virus vaccinations and teeth cleaning to heartworm testing and more. In fact, our efforts to cure treatable conditions and ensure these animals are available for adoption has meant that more than 20 percent of animals go through foster care. That’s why volunteers are so important to us.

We will continue to provide care to the fullest extent of our resources as we have since 1883.

Survey reveals sources of pets is competitive The Hawaiian Humane Society commissioned a survey conducted by Ward Research in 2012 and the results are in.

While cat ownership continues to hover at about 17 percent, dog ownership continues to rise with canines in residence with 45 percent of families. That is an estimated 86,875 cats and 135,313 dogs who share our lives on Oahu.

While the Hawaiian Humane Society is top of mind when thinking about where to acquire a pet, the majority of people who have pets got them from friends and family and nearly 40 percent acquired their most recent pet from a pet shop or breeder. So those that choose adoption are a special breed of animal lovers whose compassion for the homeless is inspiring.

We are so grateful to so many who support our cause.

This year history was made. Together, with your help, we achieved 8,021 adoptions.

That’s about 22 adoptions a day – every day of the week for the past 12 months.

This was a determined and thoughtful undertaking: to embark on our most creative and collaborative work of finding families for orphaned animals. Our yearlong campaign, that included more than 100 adoptions events, empowered the community to choose adoption.

Society program reaches out to military members in need

by Joanne Romero

James Garcia’s dog, Sydney, is like many of our pets – a member of the family. In fact, she is his only “family” here in Hawaii. An active-duty officer in the U.S. Navy, Garcia’s first deployment in Iraq left him looking for longterm care for his beloved Sydney.

“Someone told me about the Hawaiian Humane Society’s Pets of Patriots foster program. After some searching online, I was able to find more information about it,” Garcia said. Being active-duty military personnel, Garcia fit the qualifications for the program.

The Humane Society helped set up some interviews with families that volunteered to take care of Sydney,” he said. “I was really lucky. On the first interview, Sydney and the foster family hit it off.”

The family stayed in touch with Garcia while he was overseas, sending him updates and photos of Sydney regularly. “It was reassuring to know that she was well taken care of,” he says.

His experience with the program went so well that when he received notice of a second deployment to Iraq, he knew he could turn to the Society.

“The second time around, it took a couple of interviews Continued on page 9 3

Home is where the heart is All it took was a single microchip, and eight years of separation finally came to an end. That’s what happened to the Mahi family, who were reunited with their dog Snoopy in May after he was found in the streets of Waianae by a Hawaiian Humane Society Humane Investigator.

Eight years ago, Snoopy went missing after the Mahi’s moved into their new home in Waikele. The family searched for him and put up flyers, but never found him. Thanks to his microchip, the Mahis are now able to catch up on lost time.

“He remembered me because when I came home, the first thing he did was roll onto his back so I could pet his belly,” said Shannon Mahi.

Volunteers contribute their time and talents and find creative ways to bring joy to the animals. Mary Pat Wentz visits garage sales and thrift stores in search of dog-appropriate stuffed animals to make the perfect dog toy. She launders them, makes them pet-friendly and affixes her own custom-designed tag. A toy goes home with every dog adoption.

“We have a huge responsibility as human beings to take care of animals,” she said. “It’s also a way of saying ‘thank you’ to adopters and remind them that dogs need play time.”

City & County reinstates Neuter Now with more funding than ever before The City & County of Honolulu is once again offering reduced-rate spay and neuter certificates for cats and dogs after the Neuter Now program went on hiatus in January due to the depletion of the program’s funds.

Nearly 1,000 certificates have been sold in the first several weeks.

This year, the City Council earmarked $660,000 for the program – twice the amount allotted last year and the most ever since the program began in 1986.

Council member Ann Kobayashi, who is chair of Honolulu City Council’s budget committee, said: “We’ve allocated more funding this year than ever in the history of the program since 1986. It costs the county very little as most of the expense is paid for by pet owners who buy the certificates and redeem that at a participating veterinary clinic.” The county helps to subsidize only EBT card users who can purchase certificates at a $20 rate.

just the kind of opportunity to address an important community issue that deserves support.”

“With more than 60 percent of Oahu households with a pet, there’s a tremendous need,” said Gail Haraguchi, director of the City & County’s Department of Customer Services. “This partnership of government, veterinary clinics and the nonprofit Hawaiian Humane Society is

The Hawaiian Humane Society administers this program at no cost to the County, with certificate sales at its adoptions center. Cost for a certificate is $40 for a male cat, $50 for a female cat, $125 for a male dog, and $150 for a female dog.

Since the program was established in 1986, more than 200,000 cats and dogs have been sterilized, with 2,715 sterilized last year alone. Accessible and affordable spay and neuter programs are essential to reducing pet overpopulation.

Did you know?

More than 2,700 pets were sterilized last year as part of Neuter Now.

Phoenix enjoys life as reformed hunting dog Phoenix first came to the Hawaiian Humane Society in January, after a video circulating the internet revealed teenagers and adults involved in tormenting a pet pig with hunting dogs. Our officers were able to identify the perpetrators and build a case in partnership with the prosecutor’s office. The case is pending a court outcome.

Meanwhile Phoenix, who had become a shelter favorite due to his good-natured and loving personality, was adopted in May by the Lee family of Mililani.

Continued from page 3 before we found the right fit, but it ended up being a great one,” Garcia said. He points out that one of the great benefits of the program is through the interview process, in which foster families and participants get acquainted to ensure the right fit. “You aren’t just leaving your dog with strangers. You can get to know them first.”

Power of the human-animal bond It was only in the late 1970s that researchers began to explore and recognize the science of the humananimal bond. One needs to look no further than the increasing use of animals in institutional settings from hospitals and nursing homes to schools and mental health centers.

Nearly 30 years ago, in June 1983, we started our pet visitation program to bring the joy of animal companionship to the ill and disabled. By 1990, 8,000 island residents benefited from this program annually. Today, more than 85 volunteers visit 66 facilities providing more than just cuddly companionship. The furry and four-legged trot through hospital hallways doling out medicine with a wag of the tail and a cold nose, which has been scientifically proven to reduce anxiety, renew self-esteem and lower blood pressure. Hope and joy heal. This benefit is not only for patients but the many doctors and nurses that we work with who

assert that our program enhances productivity and joy in their workplace.

One of the earliest studies, published in 1980, found that heart attack patients who owned pets lived longer than those who didn’t have a pet. Another early study found that petting a dog could reduce blood pressure.

Pets Helping People – Islands Hospices’ newest facility at Palolo Chinese Home is the latest service center to join our Pet Visitation program.

More recently, the Research Center for Human/Animal Interaction at the University of Missouri College of Veterinary Medicine has been focusing on the fact that interacting with animals can increase a person’s level of the hormone oxytocin, which elevates feelings of happiness and trust. It also inspires the body’s ability to be in a state of readiness to heal and to grow new cells.

Another University of Missouri project focused on the value of dog-walking by studying volunteers who walk dogs at animal shelters.

These programs have clearly helped people get healthier and increase exercise. It further turns out the program was also helping the dogs. What that study found was that dogs were significantly more likely to be adopted thanks to the additional exercise and socialization. That’s why our volunteers walk our dogs awaiting adoption twice a day.

It is our greatest hope that you will continue to join us in this life-long service to the human-animal bond.
