s Animal Adventure Camp Brings Kids<br />
<strong>and</strong> Animals Together<br />
The <strong>San</strong> <strong>Diego</strong> <strong>Humane</strong> <strong>Society</strong>’s summer Animal<br />
Adventure Camp, held July 9 - August 17, <strong>2007</strong> was<br />
a HOWL-ing good time for more than 500 animalloving<br />
kids. Children ages five to 13 learned about<br />
companion animals <strong>and</strong> gained compassion for all<br />
living things through interactions with a variety of<br />
animals, including dogs, kittens, rabbits, guinea pigs,<br />
rats, reptiles <strong>and</strong> even a goat, during the annual weeklong<br />
summer day camp held at the <strong>Humane</strong> <strong>Society</strong>.<br />

traveled to New Orleans to help the Louisiana <strong>SPCA</strong><br />
open their new shelter. The organization is starting<br />
to get back on its “paws” after their operations were<br />
devastated by Hurricanes Katrina <strong>and</strong> Rita.<br />

Investigations Department Saves Two Dozen<br />
Cats from Extreme Heat<br />
In July <strong>2007</strong> the <strong>San</strong> <strong>Diego</strong> <strong>Humane</strong> <strong>Society</strong>’s Investigations<br />
Department seized 24 cats being housed in an outdoor dog run.<br />
With a recorded temperature of 108 degrees at the time of<br />
seizure, the cats exhibited signs of extreme heat exposure.<br />
The cats were transported to the <strong>Humane</strong> <strong>Society</strong> to receive<br />
medical treatment. Two weeks later an administrative hearing<br />
was held to determine if the <strong>Humane</strong> Officers were justified in<br />
the seizure of the cats <strong>and</strong> the seizure was upheld. At the<br />
hearing the cat’s owner decided it would be best to relinquish<br />
the cats to the <strong>Humane</strong> <strong>Society</strong>. At press time the cats were<br />
being prepared for adoption into new, loving homes.<br />
