what’s inside: Korean Dogs Rescued

Saving Washington’s Endangered Turtles

A Truly Remarkable Recovery Page 8

From the heart Dear Friends, Almost every year at this time, I wonder how it is we are nearly to the holidays already. Time seems to pass in the blink of an eye! Yet, in the moments between the blur, PAWS’ staff and volunteers have been caring for thousands of creatures of all shapes and sizes—hand feeding rare baby Minks (see page 4), gaining the trust of Mastiffs rescued from a Korean dog meat farm (page 7), or medicating the shells of endangered turtles (page 6).

Sleek and handsome boy Magnum purrs up a storm here in CEO Annette Laico’s arms. After arriving at PAWS with nearly 100 other animals whose time had run out at one of our placement partner shelters, this outgoing boy will now happily await his new home for as long as it takes to find.

So far this year, more than 7,500 cats, dogs and wild animals have received care at PAWS. Community support—at events like PAWSwalk—is what provides the food, shelter, enrichment and medical care for them all. I am always touched to see the outpouring of support at PAWS’ events each year, and especially so at this year’s PAWSwalk given the rainy and gusty weather.

Thankfully, none of the main buildings were affected by the wind storm, but many wildlife enclosures, pools, and aviaries were badly damaged and even destroyed. After tending to the animals and cleaning up from the storm, the rebuilding process began.

I couldn’t be prouder of the capability and professionalism displayed by PAWS’ nearly unflappable staff over those days surrounding the storm, or the community who wouldn’t be deterred from showing their support at PAWSwalk. Take a look at page 14 for photos of their bright faces that day. On behalf of the remarkable animals featured in this edition, and the thousands more who are safe and happy thanks to PAWS, thank you for being an advocate and a true champion for them all—come rain or shine!

Warmly,

PAWS’ Mission PAWS is a champion for animals — rehabilitating injured and orphaned wildlife, sheltering and adopting homeless cats and dogs, and educating people to make a better world for animals and people.

off the top Animal Cruelty Laws Strengthened The process of getting a bill to become a new law has many hurdles. Fortunately for the anti-cruelty bill, SSB 5501, District 47’s Senator Joe Fain helped navigate those hurdles.

PAWS worked closely with Senator Fain, The Washington Federation of Animal Care and Control Agencies, the ASPCA, and Save Washington Pets to craft a law that successfully closed gaps in the state’s current laws addressing animal cruelty.

The bill was signed into law on May 11 and took effect on July 24. A summary can be found at paws.org/get-involved/ take-action.

Love Pit Bulls? PAWS Pittie Committee may be for YOU!

4

The PAWS “Pittie Committee” is a volunteer program dedicated to improving the public perception of Pit Bulls and Pit Bull mixes, reducing the euthanasia rate, and increasing interest in adoption.

Once volunteers complete their training, they provide additional training and enrichment for the dogs in the shelter environment to reduce kennel stress. They also take them on off-site adventures, which can include hiking and swimming in local lakes.

During these outings, not only do the dogs benefit from exercise and socializing, but the volunteers collect valuable behavioral information which can help in the search for a loving new home.

While Pit Bulls and Pit Bull mixes are the main focus of this new initiative, other dogs can benefit too. Any dog who has been kenneled at PAWS long term, is higher energy, or is excessively stressed will be included in the program.

To join PAWS Pittie Committee: Visit paws.org/ get-involved, sign up to become a volunteer, attend an orientation, and follow the training steps!

Rare Patients Learn Together Mink are patients we rarely see at PAWS; however, this year we received two babies who were too young to survive on their own. They weighed less than two ounces, and their eyes were still closed.

Although these youngsters came from different families, they were raised together during their rehabilitation–playing, hunting, and learning essential skills they would need when they returned to the wild.

After three months of care, they did just that. In early September, both Mink were returned to the areas they came from, ready to use the skills they had practiced with each other.

Declawing: An Inhumane Choice F

long-term physical complications and behavioral problems.

As more cat guardians become aware of the cruelty involved in declawing, a growing number of countries worldwide are banning the practice. Regarded as inhumane, it is now illegal in Switzerland, Sweden, Austria, Norway and Germany. Here in the U.S., eight California cities, including Los Angeles, San Francisco and West Hollywood, prohibit declawing surgery.

There are many humane alternatives to declawing and training techniques for teaching your cat to scratch on appropriate surfaces. Visit paws. org/library for guidance and further information.

or those of us who share our lives with cats, keeping furniture scratch-free can be challenging.

However, scratching is a normal behavior for cats. It stretches their bodies and flexes their feet, claws, and tendons. It is a necessary and pleasurable behavior that helps to prevent arthritis. So what can we do when it’s not so pleasant for our furniture?

For years, declawing was viewed as common practice. Many people mistakenly believe it to be a simple nail trim or nail extraction. In fact, the surgical procedure of declawing involves removing part or all of a cat’s toe bones and the attached claws.

It is very painful and often results in

the property owner’s dog was injured by the protective mama bear.

Tragically, rather than properly secure the pet food which was attracting the bears, the property owner’s son ultimately shot and killed the mama bear. WDFW is investigating the legality of their actions, but any legal outcome will sadly not change the fact that two bear cubs are now orphaned, and only one cub was able to be located and recovered. Today, he is thriving in PAWS’ care, and growing up with five other orphaned cubs before their release back to the wild next spring.

While, thankfully, human and wildlife conflicts typically do not end so tragically, every careless action has a compounding, deleterious effect on our wild neighbors. Feeding wild animals may cause aggression and decrease their healthy fear of people.

To avoid feeding wild animals, even

PAWS Magazine

ere at PAWS, we see the negative results of human conflicts with wildlife almost every day. Luckily, the vast majority of these incidents are easy to prevent with just a little planning on the part of the humans involved. A variety of conflicts can arise when wild animals are attracted to populated areas by the smell of garbage containing food waste or unsecured pet and bird food.

This past August, at least one Washington bear family suffered the tragic effects from this kind of human carelessness. When a Renton resident contacted the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) to report a bear family rifling through his trash, he was advised to secure the garbage bins, and the bears left. Unfortunately, they were soon spotted on a neighboring property which had unsecured bird seed and dog food. As a result,

The turtles are kept in comfortable environments during their treatment.

Western Pond Turtles (Actinemys marmorata) are a Washington State endangered species, slowly recovering from approximately 150 individuals in the mid 1990’s due to habitat loss, wetland destruction, and invasive bullfrogs and plants.

These turtles mature and recover slowly; just one Western Pond Turtle can take 10 years to successfully lay eggs and produce the next generation. So you can imagine how many of these turtles need to be carefully recovered in order to create a healthy, de-listed future population. Thousands have been established into monitored populations, and while doing well, they still face new environmental hazards and emerging diseases.

Since 2012, PAWS has proudly partnered with the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife’s Western Pond Turtle Recovery Project to admit any disease-affected wild turtles for care. These patients are suffering from ulcerative shell disease, a slow healing disease, which tests the turtles’ mighty resilience and patience.

PAWS typically receives affected breeding females who are carefully removed from the wild at select times, avoiding disturbance to their reproductive efforts. Every new turtle egg is crucial to this species’ recovery, so rehabilitation is mostly dependent on the breeding season.

Did we mention turtles are mighty? While turtles are known to move slowly at times, they also heal slowly and are very resilient. PAWS’ staff and volunteers clean and medicate their shell ulcerations daily to promote repair and healing, and provide individual housing and nutrition to these special patients.

PAWS’ veterinarians perform laboratory work, radiographs, and administer antibiotics and pain medication while offering research and information to help Western Pond Turtle Recovery Project partners prevent future ulcerative shell disease in recovering wild populations.

The recovery of these wild populations are truly important, serving as a barometer of ecosystem health. PAWS has treated more than 68 endangered turtles to date. Each one undergoes intense, long-term medical treatment—sometimes for over a year. Although they make up a small fraction of the 260+ wild species PAWS cares for, with each new patient comes a newfound respect for this endangered aquatic species, who are so patiently building upon their wild populations.

Rescued from a Dog Meat Farm —

Korean Dogs Now Safe on Solid Ground Life is grim for the nearly two million dogs who are a part of the Korean dog meat industry. For most, the only home they will ever know is a tiny wire cage—empty food bowls their only source of possible enrichment.

Thanks to the coordinated effort of many dedicated animal welfare advocates, this misery is finally over for 103 Mastiff mix dogs from a farm outside of Seoul. The cages in which they suffered have been destroyed, and the land on which they stood is now being used to grow rice.

By helping Korean farmers transition to more humane livelihoods, this was the largest of three dog meat farms whose closure since January has been negotiated by Humane Society International. Thanks to Emergency

four-year-old Rami, simply needed a squeaky toy to jump start her playful confidence. Others, like Julius, are so scared and shut down that they have to be carried in and out of their kennels. It will take varying amounts of time, patience, and some very special adopters for these dogs to find their happy endings.

As of this writing, two dogs— Pocket and Lizzie—have been welcomed home. One more— Coyah—is awaiting adoption at PAWS. The three remaining dogs are still gaining courage in foster care, but they are now standing on solid ground thanks to the vast and loving PAWS community.

Placement Partners like PAWS, these dogs—and the lucky ones who will follow as the fight to end the dog meat trade continues—will have a safe place to recuperate and prepare for their new lives.

PAWS welcomed a total of six dogs from Korea on the evening of September 23, with the rest spread out among shelters along the West Coast. After filling their bellies, they settled into a soft bed for their first night as pampered companions. They would need their rest for the next morning, when staff began the assessment and rehabilitation process—working to gain their trust, establish familiar routines, and slowly expose them to what they will experience in a home.

Their behavior is similar to dogs rescued from a puppy mill, with responses ranging from uncertain to completely unresponsive. Of course, none of the dogs arrived leash trained, housebroken, or familiar with common sights and sounds. Some, like

Life-saving Surgery Found with a devastating injury, intensive care at PAWS was his only hope.

An adult male Coyote with a grim prognosis was brought to PAWS on May 23. He was observed by several citizens in North Seattle running around their neighborhood for about a week prior to his arrival. Concerned that he had started to appear weaker, was limping, and had what appeared to be a gaping neck wound, they alerted Seattle Animal Shelter. Shortly thereafter, an animal control officer arrived at the scene to assess the situation and try to capture the injured Coyote.

Once the officer had the Coyote in hand, he could see how extensive the injuries were, and brought him to PAWS fearing he would not survive. Upon arrival, it was obvious that this Coyote was in dire need of medical attention. It appeared he had accidentally entangled himself in some discarded construction wire, which was wrapped around his neck and impaled in his right front paw.

He was immediately examined by PAWS’ veterinary and rehabilitation staff, who carefully removed the wire from his neck and paw. The wire around his neck was so tight it had caused a large, deep laceration that covered approximately 70 percent of the circumference of his neck. After his wounds were cleaned and dressed, he was put on antibiotics and placed in one of our isolation rooms where he could de-stress and be closely monitored.

The following day he was anesthetized for a full medical examination, including blood work and radiographs. The neck wound was severe and extensive; at first we were not sure if he would be able to lift his head again. The radiographs told several stories—judging by the changes seen in the bones of the foot, the Coyote had been entangled for many weeks, there was extensive muscle damage in the neck (but fortunately no direct

spinal damage), and his entire body was riddled with shotgun pellets.

It is hard to say when the Coyote had been shot, as there was no sign that it had happened recently. What was obvious was that this Coyote had already endured a hard life, and PAWS would do everything possible to help him run free once again.

With such a severe neck wound, and a forepaw strangled from the pressure of the wire, we weren’t yet sure if that would be possible. However, luck was on this Coyote’s side, and within a few days it became clear that he would be able to raise his head and use his neck again. However, it wasn’t until many weeks later—after more surgeries, antibiotics, radiographs, and wound management procedures—that we were finally able to determine that he had an excellent chance of being fully functional in the wild again.

Thanks to the expertise of our medical and rehabilitation staff, the Coyote’s neck was completely healed after 73 days in care. Staff did their due diligence toward locating a safer release location —a site far from people and hopefully with less hazards for this special patient. On August 4, he was released to a new wild home, and he left the carrier without hesitation, only to look back for a split second before disappearing into the forest.

This Coyote was extremely lucky to have such a caring community keeping a watchful eye on him, which led to his eventual capture and recovery.

His entanglement story is an excellent example of how carelessly discarded garbage, such as wire or plastic, can negatively affect the wildlife who live alongside us. If you happen to see any debris laying around, please pick it up and discard it in a trash or recycle bin to help protect your vulnerable wild neighbors.

Exceptional Care for a Common Loon

A Common Loon is back in the wild after a brief, but life-saving, interlude at PAWS. Found exhausted on the beach with abrasions on his feet, beak and wing, he was unable to even stand upon admission. After only a few days in the care of PAWS’ skilled veterinary and rehabilitation staff, his strength returned and abrasions healed. He was released to the Puget Sound on September 29.

Love at First Snuggle We captured love at first snuggle when PAWS Board President Nancy Pasternack met long-haired tabby Winston during a photo shoot with CEO Annette Laico earlier this year. This handsome, one-year-old boy was transferred to PAWS when a local shelter partner ran out of space. He had only been at PAWS a day or two when he crossed paths with Nancy – wooing her with the same sweet, easygoing attitude that had made him such a perfect candidate for the photo shoot. When Nancy inquired about adopting Winston, she was crestfallen to learn that he already had an adoption hold. Fast forward two months later, and Winston was back at PAWS after his adopters had been unable to successfully integrate him into their home. One call to Nancy, and Winston was back in her arms within 24 hours. Clearly, that’s right where he was always meant to be!

Winston A Tale of Perseverance

Seeing Tango today, you would never know that her circumstances were painfully grim less than one year ago. Last December, Tango was discovered in the pouring rain by a police officer who found her with no access to food, water or shelter.

After cutting the chain to which she was anchored, along with another dog who had sadly already passed away, the officer brought Tango to PAWS. She arrived thin and scared, soaked to the bone and covered in mud. As the neglect case against Tango’s guardian proceeded, she gradually recovered in PAWS’ care. In May, PAWS received the legal clearance to place her up for adoption, and by June, Tango was safe in her new home.

Lizzie is one of six dogs who were transferred to PAWS after their rescue from a South Korean dog meat farm (see page 7). She was the second one adopted from the group, going home with the Richardson family just over a week after arriving stateside. Thanks to the Richardson’s patience and sensitivity, Lizzie is blossoming as she experiences what it’s like to be part of a loving family for the first time in her life. She even peacefully lives alongside three feline siblings—despite having never before seen a cat. Clearly a brave and tenacious spirit, the Richardsons couldn’t be happier to share their home with Lizzie, even if it does mean losing a shoe to this playful pup every once in a while!

Meet Magnolia— PAWSwalk’s 2015

Top Dog This year’s Top Dog has a special PAWS connection.

Abandoned at the tender age of eight months, Magnolia arrived at PAWS with a broken leg that could not be repaired.

As she recovered from life-saving amputation surgery, Magnolia’s happy ending arrived in the shape of her PAWS foster caregiver, Patty Dooley, who fell in love instantly.

When it came time for Magnolia to leave and start her search for a forever home, Patty lasted all of one day before she was back at PAWS to adopt her!

Six years later, and Patty can’t imagine life without sweet Magnolia, saying, “She’s little, but she’s in charge!”

So smitten is Patty, in fact, that she won the bidding at our annual gala, PAWS Wild Night, to feature Magnolia as this year’s Top Dog.

For the Animals,

Thank You!

With Patty serving as a dedicated PAWSwalk volunteer for many years, 2015 marked Magnolia’s first appearance as a participant in the event—and what an entrance she made—leading off our walkers as Top Dog!
