The Shelters PerspectiveMedina County SPCA

Tracey MillerDirector of Operations

As you know from reading my articles every quarter I have my favorite parts of being the Director of Operations at the Medina County SPCA Seeing animals being placed in homes that will take care of them forever helping animals in horrible situations and educating the public about caring for their pets are all high on the list of wonderful things that happen at a shelter Unfortunately with the good also comes the bad and one of those items is asking for financial help when we start to see our expenses of helping animals is exceeding our funds

This year has been horrendous when it comes to the medical needs of the rescue animals we have brought in I am speaking for just the first three months of 2018 When I look over the staggering amount of money that we have spent since January 1st through March 31st I am shocked at the extreme burden that our shelter has taken on by neglect cases that have far exceeded what I have ever witnessed the entire time I have worked here Although the burden is huge we donrsquot want to look the

that we bring to them to help So when we get to a crossroads where our expenses start to outgrow our income we reach out for donations and hope the community and businesses will help us

All the above is why the constant support of our wonderful community and area businesses is so important Just like any for profit company our shelter must not spend what it doesnrsquot have So when caring people and businesses send in their hard-earned money we put it to good use and help the animals that we can The more money we have allows us to help more animals and take on the cases that other shelters wonrsquot If you can help us even with a small donation please know we spend each cent carefully hoping we can get the maximum out of it We are in the business of helping all animals and it doesnrsquot come cheap but the help that you send with your donation turns into a priceless gift to that animal

Thank you for your consideration in donating to the Medina County SPCA Please feel free to call the shelter at 330-722-7722 for more information about financial and product donations All donations are tax deductible under the rules of non-profit 501c3 companies

CONGRATULATIONS

Kelley Blackburn 2018 Volunteer of the YearWhen it comes to someone who has dedicated their life to helping

animals Kelley Blackburnhas filled her life with all things

furry feathery shelly and such A self-proclaimed owner of a

menagerie Kelley and her family share their home with seven

cats one dog two rabbits five chickens a hedgehog a guinea

pig two tortoises four birds and a few reptiles A volunteer with the

Medina County SPCA forfour of her twelve years of

volunteering with animal rescues Kelley has found her niche bottle

feeding litters of kittens for the MCSPCA as well as being the

person that sets up thedisplays of cats and kittens at the Medina PetSmart When asked why she takes on so much on

for the shelter Kelley focuses on the best part of helping animals ldquoI like getting animals adoptedrdquo

replied Kelley

When it comes to someone who has dedicated their life to helping animalsKelley Blackburn has filled her life with

all things furry feathery shelly and such

somewhat specialneeds The last stall is kept open for a horse that may need 247 care We love each one of them and the love they give back is worth all the cleaning shoveling and feeding four times a day There is never a day that they donrsquot make me smile and feel grateful for each one of them

dedicated Hearts

When asked how people get involved with the Medina County SPCA there are a variety of answers For Maggie Schlund it was because of a neglect case that revolved around a horse ldquoI have been at MCSPCA nine yearsrdquo recalls Maggie ldquoI decided to start volunteering because of a severely neglected horse that lived approximately two miles from my house The horse hadto be euthanized and sadly the people never got prosecuted After that I knew I had to do somethingrdquo

Maggiersquos beginnings with the MCSPCA started by a day here or there cleaning cat cages That turned in to housing dogs Before she knew it she was volunteering 6-7 days a week cleaningcat cages and helping to care for the dogs that lived at the shelter ldquoAs time went on and we had more volunteers I moved over to the bookkeeping side along with sending all the thank you notes for donations that we received Now I continue to do the bookkeeping making sure all the bills are paid on time I also still keep updated on what goes on daily as far as the animals are concernedrdquo

When asked about her favorite animals Maggie doesnrsquot shy away from too many of them ldquoI love all animals except large spiders and any type of snakes I have a tremendous fear of both but my great love is for horses of which we currently have five In the beginning we fostered horses for MCSPCA and eventually adopted three that have

Dedicated HeartsMaggie Schlund

ldquoEach person is making a difference in so many ways for these animals and it is worth the time and effort put in to each of your tasks The look that the animals give you after you have given them some attention is all worth itrdquo

As for other animals Maggie and her husband have six cats that are all rescues Not afraid to shy away from animals that need a little more TLC Maggie has one cat that is diabetic and must have insulin shots twice a day and another that has three legs The Schlundrsquos also had a canine companion ldquoWe had a wonderful dog named Mila that many at the shelter would remember We were blessed to have her five and a half wonderful years and lost her in a heartbeat from a tumor that ruptured on an artery Someday another senior or two will come our way and we will have paw prints everywhere againrdquo

In retrospect for Maggie the time she has spent at the shelter has been as much wonderful as it has been heartbreaking ldquoItrsquos fun and itrsquos frustrating I get so angry when people surrender animals because theyrsquore not willing to keep a commitment Irsquove had to bite my tongue many times The great parts are the animals They have so much to give which makes you want to take them all home Irsquove made many friends over the years including my hero Director of Operations Tracey Miller She is truly the most dedicated person and I highly respect her for all her efforts through the years She is the glue that keeps the shelter together I also have tremendous respect for the help that the volunteers continue to give I think volunteering is wonderful but I also know itrsquos not for everyone Even I have difficulty seeing animals in cages and kennels Itrsquos just plain depressing but it is sometimes the only way we can start the process of helping themrdquo

Over the past nine years Maggie has become a crucial part of the inner workings of the shelter Her effort and drive to help as many animals as possible that come through the shelter doors has not been unnoticed The staff and volunteers would like to thank Maggie for her many years of dedicated service to the MCSPCA

Faith is a cat that was thrown from a car in Brunswick Hills Sadly before being thrown from the car someone tortured her Each of her paws were burned along with her belly and tail She is not able to stand without being in severe pain and had to be hospitalized long term so she could receive pain meds and anti-biotics Thankfully the vet clinic also specializes in personalized loving attention which all the staff have been giving her

Unfortunately we have no additional information on who hurt this poor girl and then tossed her in the park If you have any information about this cat or the people that did this please call the shelter at 330-722-7722 You can remain anonymous Once Faith makes a complete recovery she swill be available to a loving home

Faith is one of our extreme cases this year at the shelter If you would like to donate towards her medical care please feel free to drop off a check at the shelter We could certainly use some help covering costs of her extensive hospitalization and rehabilitation

As you know from reading my articles every quarter I have my favorite parts of being the Director of Operations at the Medina County SPCA Seeing animals being placed in homes that will take care of them forever helping animals in horrible situations and educating the public about caring for their pets are all high on the list of wonderful things that happen at a shelter Unfortunately with the good also comes the bad and one of those items is asking for financial help when we start to see our expenses of helping animals is exceeding our funds

This year has been horrendous when it comes to the medical needs of the rescue animals we have brought in I am speaking for just the first three months of 2018 When I look over the staggering amount of money that we have spent since January 1st through March 31st I am shocked at the extreme burden that our shelter has taken on by neglect cases that have far exceeded what I have ever witnessed the entire time I have worked here Although the burden is huge we donrsquot want to look the

that we bring to them to help So when we get to a crossroads where our expenses start to outgrow our income we reach out for donations and hope the community and businesses will help us

All the above is why the constant support of our wonderful community and area businesses is so important Just like any for profit company our shelter must not spend what it doesnrsquot have So when caring people and businesses send in their hard-earned money we put it to good use and help the animals that we can The more money we have allows us to help more animals and take on the cases that other shelters wonrsquot If you can help us even with a small donation please know we spend each cent carefully hoping we can get the maximum out of it We are in the business of helping all animals and it doesnrsquot come cheap but the help that you send with your donation turns into a priceless gift to that animal

Thank you for your consideration in donating to the Medina County SPCA Please feel free to call the shelter at 330-722-7722 for more information about financial and product donations All donations are tax deductible under the rules of non-profit 501c3 companies

furry feathery shelly and such A self-proclaimed owner of a

menagerie Kelley and her family share their home with seven

cats one dog two rabbits five chickens a hedgehog a guinea

pig two tortoises four birds and a few reptiles A volunteer with the

Medina County SPCA forfour of her twelve years of

volunteering with animal rescues Kelley has found her niche bottle

feeding litters of kittens for the MCSPCA as well as being the

person that sets up thedisplays of cats and kittens at the Medina PetSmart When asked why she takes on so much on

for the shelter Kelley focuses on the best part of helping animals ldquoI like getting animals adoptedrdquo

replied Kelley

When it comes to someone who has dedicated their life to helping animalsKelley Blackburn has filled her life with

all things furry feathery shelly and such

somewhat specialneeds The last stall is kept open for a horse that may need 247 care We love each one of them and the love they give back is worth all the cleaning shoveling and feeding four times a day There is never a day that they donrsquot make me smile and feel grateful for each one of them

dedicated Hearts

When asked how people get involved with the Medina County SPCA there are a variety of answers For Maggie Schlund it was because of a neglect case that revolved around a horse ldquoI have been at MCSPCA nine yearsrdquo recalls Maggie ldquoI decided to start volunteering because of a severely neglected horse that lived approximately two miles from my house The horse hadto be euthanized and sadly the people never got prosecuted After that I knew I had to do somethingrdquo

Maggiersquos beginnings with the MCSPCA started by a day here or there cleaning cat cages That turned in to housing dogs Before she knew it she was volunteering 6-7 days a week cleaningcat cages and helping to care for the dogs that lived at the shelter ldquoAs time went on and we had more volunteers I moved over to the bookkeeping side along with sending all the thank you notes for donations that we received Now I continue to do the bookkeeping making sure all the bills are paid on time I also still keep updated on what goes on daily as far as the animals are concernedrdquo

When asked about her favorite animals Maggie doesnrsquot shy away from too many of them ldquoI love all animals except large spiders and any type of snakes I have a tremendous fear of both but my great love is for horses of which we currently have five In the beginning we fostered horses for MCSPCA and eventually adopted three that have

Dedicated HeartsMaggie Schlund

ldquoEach person is making a difference in so many ways for these animals and it is worth the time and effort put in to each of your tasks The look that the animals give you after you have given them some attention is all worth itrdquo

As for other animals Maggie and her husband have six cats that are all rescues Not afraid to shy away from animals that need a little more TLC Maggie has one cat that is diabetic and must have insulin shots twice a day and another that has three legs The Schlundrsquos also had a canine companion ldquoWe had a wonderful dog named Mila that many at the shelter would remember We were blessed to have her five and a half wonderful years and lost her in a heartbeat from a tumor that ruptured on an artery Someday another senior or two will come our way and we will have paw prints everywhere againrdquo

In retrospect for Maggie the time she has spent at the shelter has been as much wonderful as it has been heartbreaking ldquoItrsquos fun and itrsquos frustrating I get so angry when people surrender animals because theyrsquore not willing to keep a commitment Irsquove had to bite my tongue many times The great parts are the animals They have so much to give which makes you want to take them all home Irsquove made many friends over the years including my hero Director of Operations Tracey Miller She is truly the most dedicated person and I highly respect her for all her efforts through the years She is the glue that keeps the shelter together I also have tremendous respect for the help that the volunteers continue to give I think volunteering is wonderful but I also know itrsquos not for everyone Even I have difficulty seeing animals in cages and kennels Itrsquos just plain depressing but it is sometimes the only way we can start the process of helping themrdquo

Over the past nine years Maggie has become a crucial part of the inner workings of the shelter Her effort and drive to help as many animals as possible that come through the shelter doors has not been unnoticed The staff and volunteers would like to thank Maggie for her many years of dedicated service to the MCSPCA

Faith is a cat that was thrown from a car in Brunswick Hills Sadly before being thrown from the car someone tortured her Each of her paws were burned along with her belly and tail She is not able to stand without being in severe pain and had to be hospitalized long term so she could receive pain meds and anti-biotics Thankfully the vet clinic also specializes in personalized loving attention which all the staff have been giving her

Unfortunately we have no additional information on who hurt this poor girl and then tossed her in the park If you have any information about this cat or the people that did this please call the shelter at 330-722-7722 You can remain anonymous Once Faith makes a complete recovery she swill be available to a loving home

Faith is one of our extreme cases this year at the shelter If you would like to donate towards her medical care please feel free to drop off a check at the shelter We could certainly use some help covering costs of her extensive hospitalization and rehabilitation

As for other animals Maggie and her husband have six cats that are all rescues Not afraid to shy away from animals that need a little more TLC Maggie has one cat that is diabetic and must have insulin shots twice a day and another that has three legs The Schlundrsquos also had a canine companion ldquoWe had a wonderful dog named Mila that many at the shelter would remember We were blessed to have her five and a half wonderful years and lost her in a heartbeat from a tumor that ruptured on an artery Someday another senior or two will come our way and we will have paw prints everywhere againrdquo

In retrospect for Maggie the time she has spent at the shelter has been as much wonderful as it has been heartbreaking ldquoItrsquos fun and itrsquos frustrating I get so angry when people surrender animals because theyrsquore not willing to keep a commitment Irsquove had to bite my tongue many times The great parts are the animals They have so much to give which makes you want to take them all home Irsquove made many friends over the years including my hero Director of Operations Tracey Miller She is truly the most dedicated person and I highly respect her for all her efforts through the years She is the glue that keeps the shelter together I also have tremendous respect for the help that the volunteers continue to give I think volunteering is wonderful but I also know itrsquos not for everyone Even I have difficulty seeing animals in cages and kennels Itrsquos just plain depressing but it is sometimes the only way we can start the process of helping themrdquo

Over the past nine years Maggie has become a crucial part of the inner workings of the shelter Her effort and drive to help as many animals as possible that come through the shelter doors has not been unnoticed The staff and volunteers would like to thank Maggie for her many years of dedicated service to the MCSPCA

Faith is a cat that was thrown from a car in Brunswick Hills Sadly before being thrown from the car someone tortured her Each of her paws were burned along with her belly and tail She is not able to stand without being in severe pain and had to be hospitalized long term so she could receive pain meds and anti-biotics Thankfully the vet clinic also specializes in personalized loving attention which all the staff have been giving her

Unfortunately we have no additional information on who hurt this poor girl and then tossed her in the park If you have any information about this cat or the people that did this please call the shelter at 330-722-7722 You can remain anonymous Once Faith makes a complete recovery she swill be available to a loving home

Faith is one of our extreme cases this year at the shelter If you would like to donate towards her medical care please feel free to drop off a check at the shelter We could certainly use some help covering costs of her extensive hospitalization and rehabilitation

JuliaJulia is a friendly girl looking for love

Shersquos approximately 6 years old so shersquos out of the kitten stage and into the lap loving stage Stop out to meet her today

cats one dog two rabbits five chickens a hedgehog a guinea

pig two tortoises four birds and a few reptiles A volunteer with the

Medina County SPCA forfour of her twelve years of

volunteering with animal rescues Kelley has found her niche bottle

feeding litters of kittens for the MCSPCA as well as being the

person that sets up thedisplays of cats and kittens at the Medina PetSmart When asked why she takes on so much on

dedicated Hearts

When asked how people get involved with the Medina County SPCA there are a variety of answers For Maggie Schlund it was because of a neglect case that revolved around a horse ldquoI have been at MCSPCA nine yearsrdquo recalls Maggie ldquoI decided to start volunteering because of a severely neglected horse that lived approximately two miles from my house The horse hadto be euthanized and sadly the people never got prosecuted After that I knew I had to do somethingrdquo

Maggiersquos beginnings with the MCSPCA started by a day here or there cleaning cat cages That turned in to housing dogs Before she knew it she was volunteering 6-7 days a week cleaningcat cages and helping to care for the dogs that lived at the shelter ldquoAs time went on and we had more volunteers I moved over to the bookkeeping side along with sending all the thank you notes for donations that we received Now I continue to do the bookkeeping making sure all the bills are paid on time I also still keep updated on what goes on daily as far as the animals are concernedrdquo

When asked about her favorite animals Maggie doesnrsquot shy away from too many of them ldquoI love all animals except large spiders and any type of snakes I have a tremendous fear of both but my great love is for horses of which we currently have five In the beginning we fostered horses for MCSPCA and eventually adopted three that have

Page 5: Summer 2018 Established 1985 Lenny - Medina County SPCAmedinacountyspca.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/SPCANewletter… · Animal Affair 2018 was a “pawsitively” awesome event

somewhat specialneeds The last stall is kept open for a horse that may need 247 care We love each one of them and the love they give back is worth all the cleaning shoveling and feeding four times a day There is never a day that they donrsquot make me smile and feel grateful for each one of them

dedicated Hearts

When asked how people get involved with the Medina County SPCA there are a variety of answers For Maggie Schlund it was because of a neglect case that revolved around a horse ldquoI have been at MCSPCA nine yearsrdquo recalls Maggie ldquoI decided to start volunteering because of a severely neglected horse that lived approximately two miles from my house The horse hadto be euthanized and sadly the people never got prosecuted After that I knew I had to do somethingrdquo

Maggiersquos beginnings with the MCSPCA started by a day here or there cleaning cat cages That turned in to housing dogs Before she knew it she was volunteering 6-7 days a week cleaningcat cages and helping to care for the dogs that lived at the shelter ldquoAs time went on and we had more volunteers I moved over to the bookkeeping side along with sending all the thank you notes for donations that we received Now I continue to do the bookkeeping making sure all the bills are paid on time I also still keep updated on what goes on daily as far as the animals are concernedrdquo

When asked about her favorite animals Maggie doesnrsquot shy away from too many of them ldquoI love all animals except large spiders and any type of snakes I have a tremendous fear of both but my great love is for horses of which we currently have five In the beginning we fostered horses for MCSPCA and eventually adopted three that have

Dedicated HeartsMaggie Schlund

ldquoEach person is making a difference in so many ways for these animals and it is worth the time and effort put in to each of your tasks The look that the animals give you after you have given them some attention is all worth itrdquo

As for other animals Maggie and her husband have six cats that are all rescues Not afraid to shy away from animals that need a little more TLC Maggie has one cat that is diabetic and must have insulin shots twice a day and another that has three legs The Schlundrsquos also had a canine companion ldquoWe had a wonderful dog named Mila that many at the shelter would remember We were blessed to have her five and a half wonderful years and lost her in a heartbeat from a tumor that ruptured on an artery Someday another senior or two will come our way and we will have paw prints everywhere againrdquo

In retrospect for Maggie the time she has spent at the shelter has been as much wonderful as it has been heartbreaking ldquoItrsquos fun and itrsquos frustrating I get so angry when people surrender animals because theyrsquore not willing to keep a commitment Irsquove had to bite my tongue many times The great parts are the animals They have so much to give which makes you want to take them all home Irsquove made many friends over the years including my hero Director of Operations Tracey Miller She is truly the most dedicated person and I highly respect her for all her efforts through the years She is the glue that keeps the shelter together I also have tremendous respect for the help that the volunteers continue to give I think volunteering is wonderful but I also know itrsquos not for everyone Even I have difficulty seeing animals in cages and kennels Itrsquos just plain depressing but it is sometimes the only way we can start the process of helping themrdquo

Over the past nine years Maggie has become a crucial part of the inner workings of the shelter Her effort and drive to help as many animals as possible that come through the shelter doors has not been unnoticed The staff and volunteers would like to thank Maggie for her many years of dedicated service to the MCSPCA

However once she starts to feel safe we have found that shersquos a VERY sweet girl and loves to be loved on She has a timid heart that needs a patient and gentle person who will make her feel comfortable with her surroundings Laverne is not house trained but shersquos working on it Shersquos also still learning what toys are and how to play with them

Please feel free to call the shelter at 330-722-7722 for more information about Pocahontas Lenny and Laverne or other adoptable animals

Irsquom invisible no one can see me Irsquom invisi oh

You can see me canrsquot you Um you donrsquot eat cats do you

No Whew Thatrsquos good Itrsquos just one of those things I worry about Probably silly but you never know Which is why I practice being invisible I guess I need a little more practice

But since you CAN see me maybe you can pet me They say that my fur is quite soft

A toy Yes I love to play with toys If you have a minute maybe you could play with me Interactive toys where I can play with a person are my favorite

A home Oh yes I want a home In a home Irsquod know that I was safe with nice people and wouldnrsquot have to be invisible anymore ever Thatrsquos what itrsquos like to be loved

So if maybe you know of someone who needs a cat like me ndash pretty shy at first but very sweet and playful when I feel safe - can you please send them my way Tell them to ask for Pocahontas ndash thatrsquos me

More about PocahontasThis adorable cat does try to be invisible at first until she feels safe with a new person Once she warms up though she loves to be petted and played with And she has such lovely soft fur too Pocahontas is 5 years old spayed and current on her vaccinations Her adoption fee is just $25 at the shelter

Stand up for

Faith is a cat that was thrown from a car in Brunswick Hills Sadly before being thrown from the car someone tortured her Each of her paws were burned along with her belly and tail She is not able to stand without being in severe pain and had to be hospitalized long term so she could receive pain meds and anti-biotics Thankfully the vet clinic also specializes in personalized loving attention which all the staff have been giving her

Unfortunately we have no additional information on who hurt this poor girl and then tossed her in the park If you have any information about this cat or the people that did this please call the shelter at 330-722-7722 You can remain anonymous Once Faith makes a complete recovery she swill be available to a loving home

Faith is one of our extreme cases this year at the shelter If you would like to donate towards her medical care please feel free to drop off a check at the shelter We could certainly use some help covering costs of her extensive hospitalization and rehabilitation

JuliaJulia is a friendly girl looking for love

Shersquos approximately 6 years old so shersquos out of the kitten stage and into the lap loving stage Stop out to meet her today
