The animals were so thin that their ribs were showing. They reported their concerns to Sheriff Bryan Atkins, and the sheriff called the Humane Society of Missouri. Working in cooperation with the Andrew County Sheriff’s Department, the Animal Cruelty Task Force (ACT) rescued the 37 starving animals (29 horses, six mini-horses and two goats) on November 11, 2010. The emaciated animals had no access to healthy food or fresh water. Two recently deceased horses also were found on the property, literally starved to death. Two other horses were so severely underweight they were in immediate danger of dying. They were taken directly to an equine hospital; all the others were transported to Longmeadow Rescue Ranch near Union, Mo. “Taking the animals out of here knowing they’ll be safe now is the greatest feeling I could have,” said Brian Williams, animal cruelty investigator, Humane Society of Missouri. Safe Haven Founded in 1988 and operated by the Humane Society of Missouri, Longmeadow Rescue Ranch has earned a national reputation for its excellence and dedication to abused and neglected horses and farm animals. In the early days of the ranch, one or two rescues a year was the norm. Over the next 20 years, the number rose to 20 or 30 rescues annually. It continues to grow, in large part because the number of law enforcement officers who know about the expertise of HSMO’s Animal Cruelty Task Force and Longmeadow Rescue Ranch continues to increase. The ranch is a safe haven for up to as many as 350 animals at a time. As was the case with the Andrew County animals, new arrivals are usually underweight and sometimes injured. Often the animals are wary of people, for obvious reasons. “This is the first time that most animals have been around caring humans,” noted Amanda Mullen, ranch director. “It’s our job to build trust so they can be adopted.” Continues on Page 3 1 Humane Society of Missouri Directory Website www.hsmo.org www.longmeadowrescueranch.org Main Number 314-647-8800 Report Animal Abuse and Neglect 314-647-4400 Adoption Centers Pet Lost and Found, Cremation Services St. Louis City Center 314-951-1562 Westport Area Center 314-951-1588 Chesterfield Valley Center 636-530-0805 Adoption Centers Hours Mon.-Fri. 10 a.m.-6 p.m. Sat. 10 a.m.-5 p.m. Sun. noon-4 p.m. Veterinary Medical Centers All locations 314-951-1534 Patients seen by appointment Veterinary Medical Centers Hours St. Louis City Center and Westport Area Center Mon. & Fri. 8:30 a.m.-6 p.m. Tues. & Wed. 7:30 a.m.-6 p.m. Thurs. 8:30 a.m.-7 p.m. Sat. 8:30 a.m.-4 p.m. Chesterfield Valley Center Mon.-Fri. 8:30 a.m.-5:30 p.m. Sat. 8:30 a.m.-4:30 p.m. Donations 314-951-1542 Memberships, auto donations, planned giving Volunteer Program 314-951-1577 Longmeadow Rescue Ranch 636-583-8759 Open House: Fridays noon-3 p.m. Saturdays 11 a.m.-3 p.m. Other adoption hours by appointment Location Addresses: Headquarters/St. Louis City Center – 1201 Macklind Ave., St. Louis, MO 63110 Westport Area Center – 2400 Drilling Service Dr., Maryland Heights, MO 63043 Chesterfield Valley Center – 17357 Edison Ave., Chesterfield, MO 63005 Longmeadow Rescue Ranch – 480 Josephs Rd., Union, MO 64084 All locations closed major holidays.

Mission Since 1870, the Humane Society of Missouri has been dedicated to second chances. We provide a safe and caring haven to all animals in need—large and small—that have been abused, neglected or abandoned. Our mission is to end the cycle of abuse and pet overpopulation through our rescue and investigation efforts, spay/neuter programs and educational classes. We are committed to creating lasting relationships between people and animals through our adoption programs and our shelter pet training program. We further support that bond by making available world-class veterinary care. 2 Missouri Votes “Yes” to End Puppy Mill Cruelty; Legislators Poised to Ignore the People’s Will Last November dogs in Missouri’s substandard puppy mills achieved a great victory. The hard work, dedication and “Yes to Prop B” votes of many HSMO donors and supporters gave dogs used for commercial breeding a real chance for a decent life. Now, before this law even takes effect, some Missouri legislators want to repeal it. They say voters didn’t understand the act’s provisions or were duped. This is an insult to voters who clearly understood the need for improved standards of care for dogs used for profit-making purposes. For years, the legislature would not deal with this problem. Now, when the majority of Missourians have dealt directly with this issue, some legislators want to defy the will of the people. When the Puppy Mill Cruelty Prevention Act (PMCPA) becomes law late this year, dogs in commercial breeding facilities will: • have room to stretch and move more freely in their cages and exercise outside instead of living their entire lives in a space just 6” larger than their bodies. • receive annual, hands-on veterinary exams and prompt treatment for injuries and disease instead of a cursory, facility “look-see” with no individual exams. • Be able to stand on a solid surface instead of a wirebottom cage which causes injury to paws and legs. If the PMCPA is repealed, tens of thousands of dogs will continue to suffer. We cannot allow this to happen. We must act now to ensure a good future for the dogs from which people profit. We won a victory for puppy mill dogs last year. With your assistance, we can ensure the suffering will end for breeding animals in desperate need of help.

Horses are evaluated for their level of training before beginning the program. Jaycox starts literally at step one: coaxing horses to accept a friendly human touch. From there, he uses the five training levels of the Natural Horsemanship Method. Depending on past training and temperament, horses require several months to a year to complete all five levels. After adoption, owners can take advanced training, for an additional fee, at Longmeadow Rescue Ranch or the horse’s new home. Watch the Rescue video at hsmo.org Sheriff Decries Animal Neglect and Abuse Once they arrived at Longmeadow, the horses and goats were quarantined while they were weighed, de-wormed and examined by a veterinarian. Their diet was set and immediate medical needs looked after. All horses also required dental care. Rehab Can Be Lengthy and Expensive “It takes a huge investment to rehab horses,” explained Mullen. “In rescues like Andrew County, the animals require months of specialized diets, vaccinations and other veterinary procedures. Anyone who raises large animals can attest to the substantial cost of taking proper care of them.” “We do these things for the animals because they can’t speak for themselves,” she added. Carmen Skelly, statewide investigator for the Humane Society of Missouri had this to say on site at the November rescue: “It’s a privilege and honor to pull these horses out of danger, take them to Longmeadow Rescue Ranch and know they are going to be well cared for. Last night was their last bad night.” Trainer Scott Jaycox on Twister Welcome to the Ranch Visit Longmeadow Rescue Ranch any Friday from noon to 3 p.m. or Saturday from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., year-round except major holidays.

Andrew County Sheriff Bryan Atkins watched approvingly while rescuers from the Humane Society of Missouri loaded starving horses and goats for transport to Longmeadow Rescue Ranch. Atkins sought help from our Animal Cruelty Task Force after personally seeing the emaciated animals knee-deep in mud in a barren pasture. The sheriff, who raises livestock, was so appalled at the animals’ condition that he delivered two large bales of his own hay. Atkins also brought an independent veterinarian to the property who determined the animals could not survive the winter without intervention. Atkins sharply criticized the absentee owners for neglecting their animals to the point of starvation. “I am letting people know that if you’re going to own large animals or a large number of animals, you need to afford to take care of them, to spend time with them, to feed them and properly care for them,” he said. “If not, we may be doing this again.” Won’t You Be My Barn Buddy?

Since 1988, she has been involved with volunteer duties ranging from the Veterinary Clinic to Pet Pal dog walker to foster parent and the Greater St. Louis Training Club. It’s hard for her to pick what her favorite part of volunteering is! Fran first became involved with the Humane Society after her husband passed away. She was looking for something to occupy her on weekends and thought that helping dogs, which she’s always loved, would be a good fit. She was certainly right. Angel, Fran’s fur child, graciously shares her home with lots of foster pets and frequently accompanies her to the Humane Society. Having been a volunteer for 22 years, Fran has seen the foster and Pet Pal programs grow tremendously. “Sometimes we all get tired and upset but we remember how much good we do. It all comes from a deep love of the animals.” 4 dogs, other predators and inhumane people. Provide adequate shelter. If your dog lives outdoors, you must provide a well-insulated and draftfree doghouse. (It’s the law.) B-r-r-r-! If it’s too cold for you, it’s too cold for your pet. Bring dogs inside. Don’t leave them outside in the cold for long periods of time or they can develop frostbite on ears, tails and feet. If you run with your dog, be attentive to cold paws and leave Fido at home when it is too cold. Always keep cats inside. “Outside” cats are often the victims of cars, Provide plenty of food and water. It takes more energy in the winter to keep body temperature regulated, so your pet needs additional calories if he or she spends a lot of time outdoors. Check and refill outside bowls often. Snow is not a substitute for water. Beware of anti-freeze and rock salt. Anti-freeze smells and tastes good to your pet, but is lethal. If you suspect your pet has ingested it, contact your veterinarian immediately! Rock salt can irritate footpads. Be sure to rinse and dry your pet’s feet after being outside. Dry off wet pets. Towel or blow-dry pets when they get wet from rain or snow. Dry and clean paws to prevent tiny cuts and cracked pads. Bundle up. Short- or coarse-haired dogs might get too cold; consider a sweater or a coat. Groom regularly. Well-groomed coats keep animals properly insulated. Long-haired dogs should have their paw hair clipped to ease snow removal and cleaning their feet.

Rocket Finds Home, Sweet Home Our biggest offering of summer fun ever. Sign up now. Classes fill up fast! A device the size of a grain of rice reunited Rocket with his family 18 months after the feline went missing. “The cat was brought to us by a good Samaritan who found it near her home,” said Tammi Britton, shelter manager at the Chesterfield Valley Center. “We scanned him and were happy to find a microchip.” Using the unique serial number on the tiny device, the shelter staff easily located the Jacun family (Heather and David and sons Sam, Dave and Noah). The owners wanted to be happy but instead were dubious. After all, their nine-year-old pet had been lost for a year and a half, just after their move to Ballwin from University City. “We couldn’t believe it at first,” said Heather Jacun. “We asked them to check again because Rocket is missing half his tail. They did, and it was our boy.” The Jacuns joyfully picked up their old friend the day after Thanksgiving. “He knew us right away, and our Boxer Tessa definitely remembered Rocket. She immediately cleaned his whole face,” laughed Heather Jacun. “We were so happy to find the cat’s family,” said Britton. “He is our ‘poster boy’ for the microchip system.” ST. LOUIS AT PLAZA FRONTENAC 314.567.9200 © SAKS FIFTH AVENUE 2011 ONLINE: SAKS.COM FACEBOOK.COM/SAKS TWITTER.COM/SAKS Call the Veterinary Medical Center at 314-951-1534 for an appointment to have your pet microchipped. www.longmeadowrescueranch.org www.hsmo.org The microchip system was created for scenarios just like Rocket’s and is recommended by the Humane Society of Missouri. Kids ages 6 to 14 have fun and learn lots of fantastic facts about animals. Animal Adventure classes are fun three-hour “animal encounters” where you interact with animals as you learn about your favorite finned, furry or feathered friends. Meet animal experts and make a great animal-related craft to take home. It takes less than a minute to insert, but lasts for the pet’s lifetime. It causes no discomfort; in fact the pet is unaware of its existence. Barnyard-a-Palooza A day at Longmeadow Rescue Ranch – Meet and learn about our rescued horses and farm animal friends. Enjoy a hayride, barn tours, horse activities and demonstrations. About the size of a grain of rice, a microchip is implanted between a pet’s shoulder blades with a syringe. Its unique serial number is entered into a national database along with the owner’s name and contact information. Strays are routinely checked for microchips with a hand-held scanner. Much like bar-code readers in retail stores, the scanner beeps when it finds the chip. Most veterinary offices and shelters are able to scan the chip. WE SALUTE THE HUMANE SOCIETY OF MISSOURI.

When they decided their “only dog” needed a playmate, they found brindle Boxer Nova at the Westport Area Adoption Center. Beau came from owners who realized that with long commutes and two young children they were not giving him the care he deserved. Skilled Surgeon Constructs New Ligament for Boxer Lisa and Jeff Pugh noticed their Boxer Shelby limping on the stairs. It was surprising because the pet they’d raised from a puppy was barely three years old. Since they were already bringing Shelby to the Humane Society for veterinary care, they made an appointment. After digital radiographs (x-rays), Shelby was diagnosed with hip dysplasia and an arthritic knee. A crucial knee ligament was so damaged it had to be replaced to stabilize her knee and hip. “Hip dysplasia is primarily found in large, strong breeds such as German Shepherds, Rottweilers, Labradors and Golden Retrievers,” explained Dr. Travis Arndt, who performed the surgery at the Chesterfield Valley Center. “In some dogs, it is an inbred trait. In others it begins after a knee ligament is torn when the dog twists a hind leg.” During the surgery, Dr. Arndt removed the damaged ligament and repaired the knee by placing two strands of heavy monofilament suture through the tibia (the bone between the knee and ankle) and then around the lateral fabella (the small bone behind the knee). The “false ligament” around the outside of the knee joint restored stability and ended her pain and limping. www.longmeadowrescueranch.org www.hsmo.org Much-loved Boxer trio Beau, Nova and Shelby Shelby returned 10 days after surgery and was fully weightbearing on her repaired leg. The Pughs expected the highest degree of professional care from Dr. Arndt and were not disappointed. What they didn’t expect was his degree of personal interaction. “Before the surgery, Dr. Arndt showed us the x-rays and went over them with us,” praised Lisa Pugh. “Right after the surgery, he personally phoned us and gave us the complete run-down. When we went back for the stitches to be removed, he was also there.” The Pughs bring all three Boxers to the Humane Society. “Everyone from the front desk to the vet techs is professional,” she said. “And I can tell they all have pets. We like knowing we are helping other animals when we take our dogs there.” Open to the public, the Humane Society’s three Veterinary Medical Centers provide expert care with state-of-the-art diagnostic and surgical facilities. Proceeds from the clinics help homeless animals.
