103 Dogs and 6 Cats – Ripley CountyMange-infested and severely emaciated animals were rescued

from a hoarder on August 24. Rescuers could not immediatelyidentify the exact breeds of the dogs because of the severity of thehair loss. They also suffered from eye injuries, skin infections,internal and external parasites.

Because the animals were in distress and immediate jeopardy,the Ripley County Sheriff obtained a warrant; an independentveterinarian determined all of the animals should be removed.

Most were medium-sized mixed-breed dogs ranging in age fromelderly to a litter of one-week-old puppies. The dogs were found inoutside pens, a barn and an abandoned house trailer. Severaldecomposing dog carcasses and scattered dog remains also werefound on the property.

Hoarders compulsively obtain animals, cannot care for thenumber of cats and dogs they acquire, and fail to recognize theanimals’ suffering. Medical and psychological journals havediagnosed hoarding as an obsessive compulsive disorder.

36 Dogs Rescued from Unlicensed Breeder –Christian County

On October 13, acting on information from a local animal control facility, the HSMO Animal Cruelty Task Force rescued 36 Yorkshire Terrier and Maltese dogs from an unlicensedbreeding facility near Ozark, Mo.

The dogs’ crates were stacked on top of each other in a filthybasement. In violation of the Canine Cruelty Prevention Act, thebasement floor was soaked in urine, dogs and puppies were livingin their own waste and the only available water and food for theanimals was contaminated with feces.

The owner agreed to voluntarily surrender the animals to theMissouri Department of Agriculture, which immediatelytransferred permanent custody to the Humane Society of Missourifor veterinary treatment and sheltering.

Increased Surrenders by Substandard BreedersOn October 6, the Humane Society of Missouri was given

custody of more than 20 Pomeranians. The dogs were surrenderedby a substandard breeding facility. Since the passage of legislationand the Missouri Solution that followed, some owners arevoluntarily relinquishing their animals.

“Because of increased enforcement by the Missouri Departmentof Agriculture and the Canine Cruelty Prevention Act, substandardbreeders know what’s coming when they see the sheriff’s car inthe driveway,” said Debbie Hill, director of Operations at theHumane Society of Missouri.

Rather than fight the law or improve their facility, they surrender the animals. As a condition of the voluntary surrender,the HSMO agrees not to release their names or locations. “We respect their wishes in exchange for their agreement to cease operations for a negotiated period of years,” said Hill.

It’s a Tough Job……But We Do It for the Animals

“We could get a few animals in a day or more than 100. Younever know which it’s going to be when you walk through the dooreach morning,” said Pam Whitcraft, adoption manager at theMacklind Headquarters.

“We work hard to find a loving forever home for every adoptableanimal,” Whitcraft continued.

ArrivalFirst thing after arriving, animals are evaluated medically and

behaviorally. Healthy animals and those deemed safe for adoptersmove quickly to the adoption area (after spaying or neutering). Bycity or county ordinance, stray animals must be held 5-6 days togive owners a chance to find them. Animals not claimed after that time are evaluated, given spay or neuter surgery and madeavailable for adoption.

Trained staff examine the animals, clean ears, trim nails,vaccinate, deworm, run appropriate blood tests, and administer flea and heartworm preventative to contribute to the health of each animal in our care in preparation for adoption.

“It is rewarding to know that we are making a difference in thelives of these animals by preparing them for their forever homes,”said Julie Stofiel, examination room assistant.

Extraordinary MeasuresOtherwise adoptable animals with treatable health problems

can get help from the Cinderella Fund, named for the girl whoseFairy Godmother helped her go to the ball. This special fund pays for surgery, dental work, x-rays, setting broken bones and medications.

As an open admission shelter, the Humane Society accepts strays, owner-surrenderedpets and animals rescued from abuse,neglect and disasters.

Brandy Vincent, assistant animal healthcare technician, Macklind Headquarters

Amy McCubbins, lead exam room/animal care coordinator, Macklind Headquarters

New arrivals are examined and treated for health problems.


For example, Ranger, a lovely blue cat, arrived with a mangled leg. The Cinderella Fund paid for theamputation. Jean Eckrich gave the three-legged felinehis second chance for a forever home. “He has addedto my life considerably,” she said.

Rocky, a Poodle/Maltese mix, was turned in by hisowners who could no longer afford to care for him. Hehad a mass above his left ear and needed dental work.The Cinderella Fund came to the rescue. His newowner Sandy Weis now takes him to a hospice and toher classroom. Both groups love Rocky and aredelighted with his tricks.

Animals with hearing or vision problems find lovinghomes, too. Learn more about the Cinderella Fundonline at hsmo.org/donate/special-causes.html or call 314-951-1542.

BehaviorEvery dog available for adoption is evaluated

by specially trained staff to help identify the risk of future aggression. “We interact with the animaland measure reactions on a standardized scale,”explained certified evaluator Julia Kelley.

“We determine levels of fear, sensitivity,dominance and sociability with people and other dogs.”

Many dogs will respond to individual behavioralsupport, improving the chances they will remain in their new homes. HSMO behavior programsinclude Pet Pals dog walking, Shelter Enrichmentthat supplies toys and provides activities for theanimals, and Train to Adopt that helps at-risk dogslearn how to trust and live with people.

The upcoming Spring 2012 issue of Tails willfeature Pet Pals, Shelter Enrichment and Train to Adopt programs.

Nonstop ChoresA daily average of 750 dogs and cats reside in

HSMO shelters. Taking care of them requires anendless cycle of physical labor 365 days of the year.Kennels and cages need cleaning and sanitizing.Toys need replacing. Dogs need walking. Cat litterneeds changing. Medicine needs dispensing.Often, animals need bathing.

All staff memberspitch in to completethe grueling job ofcleaning up after thehundreds of dogs andcats. Hosing downdog kennels andchanging cat boxesare daily chores. Morethan 15,000 poundsof cat litter are usedevery month.

Jennifer Bieberly, client and animal specialist, Macklind Headquarters

Shelter animals get clean beds andtoys every day. With a daily average of 750 animals in our three adoptioncenters, that’s a lot of linens! Anyonewith a spare minute pulls laundry duty.

Animals get clean bedding every day, creating an endlessmountain of laundry. Cat boxes are another daily chore. The three shelters use 15,026 pounds of cat litter a month.

Eighteen months ago when St. Louis City closed its shelter tothe public, the already heavy Adoption Center workload increaseddramatically for staff and volunteers at Macklind Avenue. Theshelter has received 38% more stray animals from City residentscompared to the same period the previous year. In addition, callsto HSMO’s Animal Abuse Hotline reporting animals in jeopardyhave increased more than 30%. This influx of animals and callscontinues to this day.

Feeding FrenzyDogs chow down on 6,120 pounds of food monthly. Puppies

eat 2,232 pounds. Cats consume 1,040 pounds and kittens dine on 1,107 pounds. Grand total: 10,499 pounds of food every singlemonth. Every pound of it has to be hauled to the food preparationareas and doled out to every animal.

Animals don’t go hungry on holidays or during severe weather.Staff and volunteers make sure of that. “It doesn’t matter if it’sThanksgiving Day or there’s a foot of snow on the ground,” praisedKathy Warnick, president of the Humane Society of Missouri. “Our staff make extraordinary efforts for the animals. For many, it’s more than a job, it’s a calling and their passion.”

Emotions Run HighWhether behind the scenes or at the front desk, the pace is

hectic and demands are nerve-racking. “The Adoption Center is an emotional place for staff and the public, not only for thosewho are giving up an animal, but also for adopters,” said Whitcraft.

As the public persona of the Humane Society, adoptioncounselors and front desk staff must be diplomats. Dealing with the public requires them to be kind and polite even when bearing the brunt of someone’s grief, anger or frustration.

“Some people rant and rave about perceived injustices toanimals or, more frequently, to themselves,” said Whitcraft, whoadded that one irate woman even took a swing at her. The staffcalls for backup when faced with intimidating people and involveslaw enforcement if necessary.

Offering comfort to a grief-stricken pet owner also takes a toll,especially when the person is inconsolable. “Our hearts break,too,” said Corrie Kahl, manager of the Westport Area AdoptionCenter. “Those are the days that can really get you down.”

Happy DaysBalancing out the bad times are the emotional highs of seeing

animals go to their new homes. It is especially poignant when ananimal has been waiting for weeks or even months. Large dogs,black dogs and adult cats wait the longest.

Adoption is emotional, too. Some people anguish over the factthat they can’t adopt the whole bunch. Others may select a petbased on looks, not temperament, and go through the emotionalstep of returning it. It is the counselors’ job to make sure thepotential owner and the pet are a good match. It’s in the bestinterests of both the adopter and the new pet to match the dog orcat to the adopter’s lifestyle.

Sometimes the counselor has to gently guide a person who isunfamiliar with breed traits. Volunteer Adoption Ambassador PattiGaizat told of helping a man find a calm canine companion to fit hislifestyle. Before learning about breed traits, he was considering atwo-month-old border Collie, a high-energy dog bred for sheepherding. “Instead, I recommended Lila, a female black Chow mixwho had been in our shelter 90 days. He agreed it made sense tohave a house-trained dog with manners. After they met, it was loveat first sight.”

Happy endings take away the sting of bad days.

Sending a pet to its foreverhome balances out the stress of shelter work.


My first job was coming in to clean cages—bending over, kneeling down, hosing kennelsand so on. It was tiring, but knowing the animals were clean and happy kept me coming in towork. Three months later I moved to the exam room, the first stop for every animal. I hadsome previous experience, but there were plenty of new things to learn, especially about allthe suffering animals we rescue from hoarders and bad breeders and the injured and sickstrays we get. Sometimes I think a career change is necessary, because of the emotionaljourneys, but off to work I go. I love working for the Humane Society, knowing that we are allhere for the animals no matter what. I love what I do, what I stand for and what I believe in.

On a Personal Note...

I first started at the HumaneSociety as a volunteer. A supervisorsuggested I work for the HumaneSociety. I decided to give it a year. Tenand a half years later I am still here. Ilove it, though over the years it hastaken a toll on me and my employees.

I worry more—about my staff,about the animals, about all the littlethings that need to be taken care ofeach and every day. I worry that thepublic does not understand what ittakes to run a shelter this large.

I am thankful that HSMO does havea lot of supporters and that somepeople do understand what we are upagainst every day. I am thankful weare able to take care of the dog or catthat stays here for months waiting forthat right person to come along andhow awesome that is when they do.Even though I often go homeexhausted—emotionally andphysically—I feel we accomplishthings that truly make a difference inthis world.

— Pam Whitcraft, adoption manager,Macklind Headquarters

One of the best experiences I’ve hadwas the story of two dogs, Jax and Abby.Their original owner had to surrenderthem when she lost her house—asituation we see too often. She washeartbroken and the dogs were, too. Shespent almost an hour saying goodbye.Adjusting to the unfamiliar sights, soundsand smells of the shelter is stressful forany dog, but Jax and Abby wereextremely fearful. A few days later, theowner’s stepson came in to adopt the dogshimself. The instant Jax and Abby sawhim they were ecstatic. Jax strained at theleash to get to him faster. Abby waswhimpering with happiness and waggingher tail for the first time since she arrivedat the shelter. It was a small moment, butto me, it was amazing to see those twodogs come alive for someone they knewand loved.

A woman came into the adoption center tosurrender a 6-week old Dachshund puppy. Sheacquired the puppy shortly after the death of herbeloved 15 year old Dachshund. Unfortunately,the puppy reminded her of how sad she still was.She also admitted she really hadn’t beenprepared for a new puppy and needed a plan.Over the course of the next two weeks, wediscussed puppy basics, everything from collarsand crates to boarding and training. At home shecarried a stuffed puppy around with her,everyday making peace with her loss and givingherself permission to move forward.

Eventually, she asked if she could beconsidered for adopting the puppy when hereturned from the foster home in which we hadplaced him. We agreed she was now ready,emotionally and with her new “puppy plan”, toadopt the Dachshund puppy. On the morning ofadoption, she lovingly shared the memorial bookshe made in her previous dog’s honor. I couldclearly see this puppy was going to have the lifeall dogs must dream of. Puppy Gabby wenthome with a new red sparkled collar and leashand is a regular client of our veterinary medicalcenter. The adopter admits she is addicted tobuying Gabby new toys in our gift shop.

For Mary LouSpellmeyer, volunteeringat Longmeadow RescueRanch is her therapy.

When she returned toSt. Louis in 2009 afterbeing gone for 20 years,she hit a rough patch.“My husband hadrecently retired. Ouryoungest had just movedout. The relocation andother circumstances leftme sad and broken. I feltempty and harboredquite a bit of resentment.”

A chance conversationbrought back memories

of the smell of the stables and how the horses drew her in. Shefound out about the ranch and on April 1, 2010, Spellmeyer visitedfor the first time.

“I’ll never forget that day,” she said. “One of the mares hadgiven birth a few hours earlier. There I was watching thisnewborn nuzzle his mother. It was a beautiful sight and for thefirst time in many months my heart felt happy.”

Fellow volunteer Jamie Spasser took Spellmeyer under herwing. “We’ve been together ever since and have been told that webicker like sisters,” she said with a smile.

A few months ago,Jan Rice joined theteam. “The three of usare ready, willing andable to do whateverneeds to be attendedto,” said Spellmeyer.Everyone grabs a forkand a shovel andtogether the trio worksits way through thebarns, mucking out

stalls and handling the horses. They also wash windows, cleanfans, do laundry and help hold animals being medicated.

“We are close because we share this bond of hard work andlove of the animals. We understand each other in a way my otherfriends just don’t get.”

The people and the animals at Longmeadow Rescue Ranch areher therapy. “It takes a quarter of a tank of gas for the round tripbut still it is cheaper than paying a shrink,” she laughed, adding“Volunteering at the ranch gives me a balance. It feeds my souland gives me a purpose that makes me proud.”

Saturn’s Second Chance Jennifer Jones with hernewly adopted horse Saturn, rescued a year ago from a barrenpasture in Andrew County. Severely emaciated when he arrivedat Longmeadow Rescue Ranch, Saturn gained 364 poundsduring his rehabilitation. Jones and her son are learning to ridebefore they saddle him up. In the meantime, they are content tolavish attention on their newest family member.

2012 Humane Society of Missouri Events Helping Homeless Animals

Heartworm disease is a serious and potentially fatal conditionthat is completely preventable. The infection is due to parasiticworms living in the arteries of the lungs and occasionally in theright side of the heart. The disease is spread by mosquitoes thatdeposit heartworm larvae into the skin when they bite. It takesseveral months for the larvae to mature and for blood tests toreveal the infection. Preventative medications are available forboth dogs and cats and work by interrupting heartwormdevelopment after the infected mosquito has bitten and beforeadult worms reach the lungs and begin causing damage. Only bycontinuing the preventative medication all year long can you betruly sure that your pet is not in danger.

Unfortunately, once damage to the heart and lungs occurs itcan be permanent, making treatment of the adult worms difficultand complete cure impossible. Only one medication is licensed inthe U.S. for treating adult heartworm infection in dogs. It hasbeen available in drastically limited supply for the past ninemonths and there appears to be no change in this situation for the

foreseeable future. Unlike dogs, no treatment is available foradult heartworms in cats nor is there a screening test for felines.

All dogs, regardless of their age, sex or habitat are susceptibleto heartworm infection and are candidates for year-roundheartworm preventative medication. Both indoor and outdoorcats are susceptible to heartworm infection. Fortunately there area number of safe, highly effective preventative medicationsavailable for both dogs and cats including monthly tablets andtopical preparations.

In addition to heartworm prevention, these medications protectagainst various intestinal parasites as well as external parasitesincluding fleas and ticks. The doctors in our Veterinary MedicalCenters are happy to discuss the different options and help youdetermine which one best meets your pet’s needs.

Open to the public, the Humane Society’s three Veterinary Medical Centers provide expert care with state-of-the-artdiagnostic and surgical facilities. Clinic proceeds help homelessanimals. To make an appointment, call 314-951-1534.

Ask the Vet By Steven Schwartz, VMD

Q: Since heartworm is spread by mosquitoes, can I skip the preventative medication over the winter?

A: No. Based on the most recent recommendations from the American Heartworm Society we strongly urge pet owners to continue the preventative medication all year long for both dogs and cats. Doing so not only prevents heartworm disease but also helps protect your pet from two common intestinal parasites, roundworms and hookworms.
