Dear Friends, What a difference three years have made! It is hard to imagine that this July we will have been at our new location for three years (some may not even remember it as the “new” location) and still, every day I feel truly blessed to be part of SafeHaven Humane Society’s amazing journey. In just three short years, over 8,500 lives have been saved, over 6,000 youth have been involved in our humane education programs, and over 121,000 hours have been donated by volunteers and foster care providers. SafeHaven’s impact on both people and animals is felt far and wide. We recently created a new Facebook page called SafeHaven Humane Society Proud Alumni and Parents and it has been such a great joy to see and hear all the heartfelt stories of how adopting a pet from SafeHaven has made such an amazing impact on both the animal and the adopters’ lives. With every new alumni post on that site, I am reminded of how important the work we do is and my soul is filled with a renewed sense of purpose. SafeHaven means so much too so many! Words like hope, compassion, joy, second chances, kindness, laughter, and rescued are often used to describe SafeHaven and/or a pet that was adopted from us. No two stories are ever the same, but the outcome always is….unconditional love! My own alumni story - is that my SafeHaven “rescue” made my life so much better because he was a part of it. Scooter was my ‘heart’ dog. He entered my life on a Friday afternoon
Keep in Touch!
in 2006. When he came through the doors of SafeHaven, he jumped into my arms as if to say….”Let’s go home, what are you waiting for?” From the moment I took him home, I knew I had found a best friend. Scooter was my shadow. He went to work with me almost every day…some even joked he was just part of the staff. He helped the shy dogs open up, he was a baby sitter to the newborns, and he attended many presentations to show what a true blessing a “rescue” dog could be. He was loved by all who met him and, to me and my family, he was truly a blessing—a gift like no other. We lost Scooter to heart failure recently but, through the tears, I remembered one important thing…..I got to experience the love of a very special dog because SafeHaven existed, because SafeHaven was there to help this “rescue” dog. I laughed at that thought because I truly believe…it was Scooter who rescued me and not the other way around! So, thank you! Each of you who support the work we do at SafeHaven played a part in Scooter’s and my story, and in each of the stories you will read about in this issue of the Pet Press. Whether you volunteer, donate financially, participate in our events or tell your friends and family about SafeHaven, you are playing a role in the continuing SafeHaven story and journey. On behalf of the animals,
Chris Storm, Executive Director

Featured Adoptions
LOVE HAS NO BOUNDS
At SafeHaven Humane Society, we’re all about second chances. Every day we work with unwanted, homeless animals who are looking for nothing more than love and security and a second chance. One of our biggest challenges at SafeHaven is finding homes for older animals. It’s not just a problem here but shelters across the country face the same challenge as many people who visit shelters are looking to adopt kittens and puppies. Mature cats in particular face the difficulty of being picked for adoption. Over the winter, one such mature cat not only faced the disadvantage of old age, but also had medical issues as well. David, now named Italics, finally found his forever home after being adopted and returned to SafeHaven a total of four times. At 15 years of age and with medical issues due to kidney failure, Italics was in need of a truly special forever home who would be willing to take him in to spend his final years. When Serena Piper opened the door to David’s kennel and he climbed right into her arms, it was truly love at first sight. While her and her fiancé were at SafeHaven originally to adopt a few kittens, they just couldn’t resist David and after bonding with him in one of the meet-and-greet rooms they both realized, “Wow, this cat has a lot of love to still give.” They knew in their hearts that David was meant to be with them.
Italics has fit in splendidly with Serena and her fiancé as well as their three other cats. He spends his days curled up in blankets on their couch, and his nights curled up next to his new parents. “I just think we made the perfect decision. People will always want kittens and they’ll always find homes easily but seniors are so overlooked and I think a lot of people assume they don’t have as much love to give anymore. But it’s the complete opposite with Italics. He’s got more love than any other cat I’ve known!,” says Serena.
SPUD FINDS HIS FOREVER FAMILY
Good things come to those who wait, but some have to wait longer than others. Spud arrived at SafeHaven on August 16, 2016 via a lifesaving transport from New Mexico. A short, mediumsize, brown dog with a great smile and mellow personality, he quickly became a staff favorite. In less than a month, he was adopted, but then returned to the shelter just two days later. Within a week, he was adopted again, only to return to the shelter again a week before Christmas. Poor Spud. That had to be tough. Then, on February, 10, 2017, Spud was showcased at SafeHaven’s Pawscar Awards dinner and celebration at the Linn County Fairgrounds. The very next day he was adopted. And, on Valentine’s Day, he returned to SafeHaven. Again. Sometimes an adoption just isn’t a good fit. But, three times? Our canine Forrest Gump? Maybe, because, like Forrest, Spud didn’t let circumstances change who he was. 4
On March 10, 2017, Kandi and Mike Newcomer and their two children, Amandia, 12, and Ty, 10, arrived at the shelter looking to adopt their first ever dog. The kids had wanted a dog for years, but their parents wanted them to be old enough for the responsibilities of caring for their pet. The photo of a young Boxer on SafeHaven’s website had caught their eye. They played with the boxer outside for a while, but then came back inside. That’s when they walked past Spud. After just a few minutes of getting to know him, the family knew Spud was the perfect dog for them. They hadn’t thought of adopting a mature gentleman of six years, or one
The Pet Press • Spring 2017
www.safehavenhumane.org
who had been in so many different homes. Understandably, they had some concerns. But as Kandi says, “He felt like ours right from the start.” The Newcomers intend Spud to be their only pet, and that suits Spud just fine. But it’s a big responsibility, being the only pet in a household. Kandi says she has some chronic pain issues and Spud seems to know when to plant himself by her side and give comforting nudges and kisses when she needs them. Their kids are “head over heels in love with him and plan their days around him.” Most afternoons, Spud helps Ty build forts or play games in the yard. In the evening, he sits in the chair with her husband, Mike, and watches TV while insisting on lots of attention. Every night he sleeps with daughter, Amandia, and takes well over half of the bed. Amandia doesn’t mind one bit. Kandi says it’s strange to remember life before Spud because he is so important to all of them on a daily basis.
on walks now and he loves to get outside and run. When he first came, his tail was always down; we actually thought maybe there was something wrong with it. Now his tail is constantly wagging and he’s a big smiler. As you can tell, I’m a huge fan of his. He has absolutely completed our family and made a dog lover out of a person who was previously indifferent to them. It’s hard to believe how much my life was missing before he came along.” No doubt, Spud agrees. But like Forrest Gump, he figured out that, “Life is like a box of chocolates.” However, biscuits are much better for dogs!
If Spud changed the lives of his family members, they also changed his. When he first arrived home, Spud moved slowly and slept a lot. Just a quiet, mature gentleman with his favorite napping spot on the couch. But, now that he has figured out he’s finally home to stay, Kandi says, “He behaves more like a puppy. You wouldn’t believe how high he can jump! One of his favorite things to do is run through the house as fast as he can. We can barely keep up with him

Humane Education At SafeHaven, we offer many programs to fulfill our mission of “Finding Homes, Opening Hearts and Educating Minds.” Recently, a birthday party for a very special little girl perfectly illustrated the impact of our work in fulfilling our mission at SafeHaven.
MEET HANNA Hannalise or “Hanna” was born with a congenital brain malformation known as Holoprosencephaly (HPE or HoPE). This condition causes the frontal lobe of the brain to not divide into two hemispheres. Only 3% of children born with this condition survive birth. Of that 3%, only 1% live to 6 months of age. Hanna just turned 4 this past February. Hanna’s condition requires a huge time commitment traveling to Portland, Eugene, Philomath and Lebanon for her medical care. Hanna’s parents and grandparents recently sold their homes and bought a house together so they could get additional help for Hanna. Despite her condition, Hanna shares many similarities with other children her age. She is extremely social and personable, and her mom Sarah can testify that Hanna is quite the fiery redhead too! Even though she is considered nonverbal and non-ambulatory, Hanna makes her needs known very well. She has her own language and way of communicating – one just has to stop and listen.
decided to check into whether SafeHaven offered birthday parties. It was the first time that the family looked into doing something like this and it was a huge success – and not just for Hanna and her family.
FINDING HOMES, OPENING HEARTS, EDUCATING MINDS This is where Sweet Gem, now known as Peaches, begins to come into the picture. At the birthday party, Hanna got to meet some of the SafeHaven cats along with one SafeHaven alumni, “Fozzy” – our Humane Education Coordinator, Katie Bateman’s therapy dog. While Hanna’s family has beta fish and an aquatic frog, cats and dogs were a bit unfamiliar for her. Her family wasn’t sure how she would react but the results were not only instantaneous, they were extremely positive! “When the cats would walk around, Hanna’s eyes would follow them and when they got close to her, she would rest her head on them,” says Bateman. As a result of the birthday party, Hanna’s family came back to SafeHaven to find a companion animal for her. “I guess I should say Peaches found us and instantly made herself at home with us. She is quite the motivator in getting
Hanna enjoys going to preschool, loves anything and everything Disney and also enjoys using her iPad, and playing with her baby dolls. Most of all, Hanna loves animals. Knowing this, her family

Hanna to move, too, as Hanna attempts to pet her any time Peaches is near,” says Sarah. Many children with disabilities have sensory issues and having an animal companion helps them with calming, socialization, companionship and love. Since Hanna and Peaches share such a wonderful success story, we asked Sarah to share any advice she might have for parents of children with special needs who are considering adopting an animal companion: “My advice would be to go into one of the enclosed rooms with one of the animals and see how they react to you and how comfortable you are, and especially how your child with special needs is, with them. We did this with about 5 or 6 of the kitties and it was an instant mutual interaction between Peaches and us. She immediately rubbed up against Hanna, played with us, and jumped up on my mom’s lap.” Hanna + Peaches = a love match!

YOUR CHILD AND SAFEHAVEN
There are so many benefits for animals, kids, and our communities from having humane education programs. In our programs, kids learn positive values like compassion and responsibility, as well as learning about service to others. Whether you’re looking for a great place to have a birthday party, a place for your child to volunteer, attend an event, a camp or join a club, or if you’re simply looking for a special companion for your child, we’re here to help. Please contact Katie Bateman at humaneed@safehavenhumane.com or 541-928-6280 for more information. Learn more about our Humane Education program online at:

Enrichment & Training
New Training Class Aims to Teach Kids Safe Dog Interactions A brand new training class will be making its debut this summer and will focus on safety, training and will teach appropriate games kids and dogs can play together.
This new class offering, “The Kids, the Dog and Me,” will give children a better understanding of how to read canine body language and will stress the importance of safety when interacting with dogs. Kids will learn how to teach their own family dog obedience skills, tricks and fun games. Few things compare to the special bond between a dog and a child. After all, dogs teach children about unconditional love and what it means to care for another living creature. Dogs can also provide children with comfort, affection and years of friendship. That being said, children are also most at risk for being injured by a dog. According to the Center for Disease Control, children ages 5 to 9 years old are most at risk and a startling 77% of dog-related injuries occur on the face. Even more surprising still is the vast majority of injuries are committed by the resident dog or a dog that the child is familiar with. The good news is there are literally dozens of indications that a dog is becoming uncomfortable, fearful or defensive. Unfortunately these signals are often subtle and can easily go undetected, resulting in parents and dog owners thinking their beloved dog “just bit a child out of the blue” with no warnings given. That is rarely the case. It is likely that young children will not be able to read canine body language accurately, so adult supervision is essential no matter how tolerant or well-behaved a dog may appear. Because dog-related injuries can be easily prevented with some

education and training, our Enrichment and Training Department wanted to create a class to help kids and their family learn about how to read canine body language, how to respect a dog’s boundaries and how to train, interact and play with their own dog in a fun, yet safe, manner. “The Kids, the Dog and Me” is a 4-week course that will be fun and educational for the entire family. Kaysha Rogers, our Enrichment & Training Coordinator, has developed a curriculum that will keep your child engaged and having fun, while they are also learning about how to properly interact with their dog. This class is ideal for children age 6-12 years. A parent or guardian must be present with a child for the class. Participating dogs should be free of fear and reactivity towards people and other dogs. Participating dogs must have taken a group training course such as SafeHaven’s Family Dog Basic Manners, Control Unleashed or Adolescent Fundamentals or receive approval to attend from a SafeHaven trainer. For more information about understanding dogs and keeping children safe, please speak with a SafeHaven Trainer. SafeHaven Humane Society also offers many opportunities, from fun Summer Day Camps to group Training Classes, to educate children about dog safety. SIGN UP TODAY: “The Kids, the Dog and Me” begins its 4-week course on Wednesday 6/28/2017 @ 11:00 AM at the SafeHaven Training Center. The class is $75 and will be taught by Kaysha Rogers.

Happy Tails Last year, 2,372 pets found forever homes with SafeHaven supporters just like you! Below you’ll find a few of our favorite stories about SafeHaven alumni. Want to share your story and maybe have it featured in the next edition of our Pet Press? Email it to marketing@safehavenhumane.com or post it on our Facebook page at facebook.com/SafeHavenHumane. A Letter from Java (Bernadette Gilpin, Corvallis) Dear Humans of Safehaven Humane Society; I know it’s been awhile, 365 days which is roughly 7 dog years and 1 of your human years since my family adopted me. I thought I’d take a few minutes to tell you about my life. Mom agreed to do the typing on account of my having no thumbs and I tend to be a bit clumsy with the keyboard. Anyway, it’s been a really great year for me, as you might remember my name when I was hanging with you guys was ‘Kitten’, I wasn’t a big fan of that name because, well, I’m a dog after all, thankfully though my humans agreed and named me Java. The first thing that happened when I got to my new house was the name change but let me tell you what happened even before that, you see the two little humans in our family got really upset because the big humans had told them a family had adopted me, what they didn’t know was that I was in the crate in the back of the car. I felt kind of bad because they cried all the way to the pet store where we went to supposedly get food for my sister Bailey (she’s a little sheltie/border collie mix). We got there and the big humans told the little ones to open the crate and get Bailey out and there I was. They were SSSOOO happy when they realized they were the family that adopted me. I got a new collar and toys and well I just thought that was the best day of my life, and it was, up until then. After the pet store we went to my new house where I walked around and sniffed everything and played in the yard with my new sister. We’ve been inseparable and play all-the-time, I mean she’s kind of annoying sometimes but I think she’d say the same thing about me. I didn’t know too many rules at first but I learned them pretty quickly - like don’t pee in the house - that’s pretty important! I’m a perfect gentleman about going to my crate when my humans ask me to but that’s only when they have to leave the house for a little while, at night time I sleep on the bed with Conner - he’s the youngest human in our family, he reads me a bedtime story which I just think is the best, you should hear the one about a guy named Darth Vader - I really like that one! My other little human Jessica takes me for walks with my Mom and Bailey although in the winter Dad does that because it’s pretty dark in the mornings and it rains a lot in Oregon. I’ve been on so many amazing adventures but a few highlights are the times I’ve gone to bend, there’s a lot of snow on the way and I think playing in the snow is super fun. I also went to Osborn Dog Days and played with a billion tennis balls in water, I passed my Canine Good
Citizen test on the first try and I really love going to the park - especially when my friend Arrow comes along (he’s a super cool German Shepherd). I get along with pretty much all of the dogs I meet because I just want to play, I’ve even gone to elementary school with my Mom to hang out with the kids - I get really calm and quiet when I’m there because sometimes they just need someone to snuggle with and I’m your guy when it comes to snuggling. Over this Winter I also had a pretty big job taking care of my humans when three of them got the flu - that stuff is nasty but I sat with them for almost a week until they finally got better. They take care of me so I figured I should take care of them to because we’re a family and that’s what family does! This summer I’m going to start a new adventure that I’m pretty excited about, I’m going on a few camping trips, I heard that you sleep in a tent and do lots of hiking and playing outside, that sure sounds like my kind of fun. Anyway, I know sometimes we dogs leave SafeHaven and you wonder what we’ve been up to, I just wanted to tell you I’ve got a pretty great life. I know sometimes people look at dogs like me and think Pitbull mixes are pretty scary but I’m not scary at all and you gave me a chance and a home when I didn’t have one. So thanks for all that you did for me and for all of the other dogs over there that you’re helping to find a home. Lots of woofs and hugs, ~Java

Here’s what Sherman has to say about his new life: “I arrived at SafeHaven due to an organization known as @ STARTRESCUETEAM (Shelter Transport Animal Rescue Team) which rescues dogs from overcrowded “high kill” shelters in California and transports them to other shelters to give them a second chance at life. I was adopted by Terri and Dave and I LOVE MY NEW HOME.”

Pets Are Family SafeHaven Humane Society is committed to working hard to keep families and their pets together. An estimated 23 million pets live in poverty with their families. Unfortunately, people living in poverty often struggle financially to afford access to medical care, enrichment, and training services for their pets. As a result, families are far too often forced with no choice but to surrender their beloved pets to shelters in hopes of giving them the access to the care they need.
Pets are vital members of our community. For the elderly, pets often serve as companions and help provide their owners with a sense of independence. For children, pets provide valuable life lessons in responsibility, empathy and care for others. Dogs and cats have been used successfully to rehabilitate the sick and incarcerated. Studies show pet owners have improved cardiovascular health and immunity to disease.
As a result, SafeHaven Humane Society has recently instituted the Pets Are Family program. This is a unique one-of-a-kind program that looks above and beyond simply finding new homes for homeless animals – this program looks to prevent pet homelessness.
Simply put, our pets are family. The tragedy is when one of our pets becomes ill, and an owner does not have the resources to care for it properly – they must face the gut-wrenching choice to surrender their pet. This is where SafeHaven hopes to make a difference in the life of pets and their owners who truly love them and only want the best for them.
SafeHaven’s goal is to fund a community outreach program that will provide resources and services to pet owners that will: • Prevent pet homelessness by providing pet owners the resource to improve their pets overall health, wellness and quality of life;
More information will be available soon on our website www.safehavenhumane.org.
• Help individuals who financially lack the resources to have their pets spayed or neutered; • Provide funding opportunities to help owners with animals needing lifesaving medical treatment; • Provide fee to low-cost micro-chipping and vaccination clinics to the community.
