Assessing Behavior:<br />
Learning to Underst<strong>and</strong><br />
our Animals<br />

In this issue of AnimalFare you will read about a special dog named Precious <strong>and</strong> how our Veterinary Medicine<br />
Department was able to treat her medical issues through surgery, treatments <strong>and</strong> tender loving care. Our medical<br />
team not only performs specialized surgeries <strong>and</strong> treatments, but gives each pet a basic medical examination, noting<br />
any medical issues adopters should be aware of prior to placing the pet for adoption.<br />
While medical examinations give us a greater underst<strong>and</strong>ing of our pets from an overall health st<strong>and</strong>point, we also<br />
utilize another to<strong>ol</strong> to help us paint a picture of a pet’s behavior traits: Behavior Assessments. A Behavior Assessment,<br />
or BA, is an added building block in the overall evaluation of a pet’s adoptability <strong>and</strong> brings us additional insight into<br />
the type of home where each individual pet will thrive.<br />
At the <strong>San</strong> <strong>Diego</strong> <strong>Humane</strong> <strong>Society</strong> we perform Behavior Assessments on all of our dogs, puppies, adult cats <strong>and</strong><br />
any kittens that have special needs. These species <strong>and</strong> age-customized assessments are extremely important in<br />
assessing not only the behavior traits of our pets <strong>and</strong> the best type of home for them, but also in determining whether<br />
a pet is safe for our community. The Behavioral Assessment process has helped contribute to our success in building<br />
a near 90 percent adoption rate for all animals that come into our care as well as a three to four percent adoption<br />
return rate, which is much lower than the national average of approximately 20 percent.<br />
For a dog, the BA consists of several steps in which specially trained <strong>Humane</strong> <strong>Society</strong> staff members place the<br />
dog in a series of “real life” situations <strong>and</strong> record his reactions <strong>and</strong> behavior both in type <strong>and</strong> on video. By placing an<br />
animal in these situations, the assessment can reveal behaviors that otherwise may not be displayed in the normal<br />
day-to-day shelter setting, but could possibly be expressed in normal home situations. An assessment may take from<br />
fifteen to forty-five minutes or longer, depending on the individual animal. Behavior Assessments are performed after<br />
a dog has had several days to adjust to the shelter setting <strong>and</strong> can sometimes be re-performed if it is determined that<br />
a particular dog needs more time to feel comfortable.<br />
Just as blood work can show areas where a pet’s health is abnormal or in need of treatment, a BA can show us areas<br />
where a pet’s behavior is in need of improvement, or at least warrants a second look. For a majority of our pets, the BA is<br />
not a determining factor in whether or not they are released for adoption, but just another step in building an overall<br />
picture of what environment the pet is best suited for <strong>and</strong> how the pet is likely to behave in their new home.<br />
As a veterinarian, one of the many things I have learned is to treat the patient <strong>and</strong> not their laboratory work. This<br />
is why we do not use breed, age or size as a determining factor in a pet’s adoptability, but rather we treat each pet as an<br />
individual, examining their behavior without bias brought on by stereotypes. Appearances can be deceiving: for example,<br />
we’ve seen traditional family dog breeds whose spirited personalities make them best for adult-only homes, while we’ve<br />
had other so-called “aggressive” breeds whose sweet natures made them a great fit for any type of environment.<br />
We have a near 90 percent save rate for a reason—because we know that there is a great home out there for our pets,<br />
we just have to know enough about them to help them find it. It is thanks to support from animal lovers <strong>and</strong> community<br />
members like you that we are able to take the time <strong>and</strong> effort to find the right environment for each of our pets.<br />

Dear <strong>Humane</strong> <strong>Society</strong>,<br />
It’s been a week since we brought<br />
Shobee home <strong>and</strong> he’s settled right into the<br />
family. He is such a sweet <strong>and</strong> loveable little<br />
dog, <strong>and</strong> I’m constantly amazed at how well<br />
behaved he is. We just love him to pieces!<br />
I’ve attached some photos I took last week.<br />
Thank you for all your help <strong>and</strong> support in<br />
adopting this wonderful dog.<br />
Best regards,<br />
Jim <strong>and</strong> Jackie Menke<br />
Hello, my name is Edana <strong>and</strong> this is my story:<br />
I am 10-years-<strong>ol</strong>d <strong>and</strong> recently lived at the<br />
<strong>Humane</strong> <strong>Society</strong> for six months before I met my new<br />
family. Although I do miss the adoring staff at the<br />
<strong>Humane</strong> <strong>Society</strong>, I was looking for a home where<br />
I could be in charge. One day I met some humans<br />
that seemed to enjoy my trademark “chattiness.” So<br />
I jumped down, purred loudly, rubbed on their legs,<br />
<strong>and</strong> it seems they took the bait! When I arrived home I found they had another feline<br />
who loved to talk <strong>and</strong> a huge backyard with lots of plants to nibble on! Thanks for<br />
helping me find such a wonderful home.<br />
Kisses!<br />

We adopted a beautiful guinea pig named<br />
Connie (now Bronwyn) from the <strong>San</strong> <strong>Diego</strong><br />
<strong>Humane</strong> <strong>Society</strong> in June 2006 <strong>and</strong> wanted<br />
to let you know how much we love her. We<br />
saw her on the website, fell in love <strong>and</strong> just<br />
had to meet her in person. At three-pounds,<br />
she was the prettiest, <strong>and</strong> biggest, guinea pig<br />
we had ever seen! After h<strong>ol</strong>ding her for less than a minute, I knew she had to join our<br />
family. She <strong>and</strong> our neutered male guinea pig, Brody, fell madly in love <strong>and</strong> are now<br />
inseparable. When she’s not cuddling with Brody, she loves looking at herself in a<br />
little mirror mounted on the outside of their pen. Our experience at the <strong>Humane</strong><br />
<strong>Society</strong> was great – we would definitely adopt from you again.<br />

Medical Staff Treat Dog with Three Injured Legs<br />
Whether they’re repairing a torn ligament,<br />
treating a chronic upper respiratory infection,<br />
or performing a routine spay or neuter, the<br />
veterinary staff at the <strong>San</strong> <strong>Diego</strong> <strong>Humane</strong><br />
<strong>Society</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>SPCA</strong> are committed to making every animal that<br />
comes through their doors happier, healthier, <strong>and</strong> ready for<br />
adoption. For some pets, treatment may be simple – perhaps a<br />
dietary adjustment or dental cleaning. But for others, like a sixmonth-<strong>ol</strong>d<br />
Maltese mix named Precious, the road to a healthy<br />
adoption can be much longer. Fortunately, our dedicated<br />
medical staff is there to help.<br />
Precious came to the <strong>San</strong> <strong>Diego</strong> <strong>Humane</strong> <strong>Society</strong> suffering<br />
from a broken front leg she incurred after leaping from a<br />
family member’s arms. <strong>Humane</strong> <strong>Society</strong> Senior Veterinarian<br />
Dr. Jim Babbitt, who treated Precious, says that this injury is<br />
not uncommon to see in small dog breeds.<br />
“Precious was suffering from a radius <strong>and</strong> ulna fracture in<br />
her left front leg,” explains Dr. Babbitt, “meaning that both of<br />
the bones in her leg had fractured just above the ‘wrist’ joint. In<br />
smaller dogs with thin bones, this type of break can occur from<br />
ordinary everyday activity, such as jumping down from<br />
the couch.”<br />
Precious’ family took her to their veterinarian, who advised<br />
surgery to repair the break. However, as is too often the sad<br />
reality for many pet owners, the family lacked the financial<br />
means to treat Precious’ injury. After being relinquished to the<br />
<strong>San</strong> <strong>Diego</strong> <strong>Humane</strong> <strong>Society</strong>, veterinary staff examined Precious’<br />
broken leg <strong>and</strong> determined that she would not need surgery<br />
after all <strong>and</strong> could be treated by simply placing her leg in<br />
a cast.<br />
After casting the leg, all seemed to be going well for Precious<br />
as her bones began to heal. However, more problems were just<br />
around the corner. When Precious first came to the <strong>San</strong> <strong>Diego</strong><br />
<strong>Humane</strong> <strong>Society</strong>, she was visibly limping, which the<br />
veterinary staff attributed to the broken leg. Yet, as the break<br />
began to heal, her walk was still strained, <strong>and</strong> Dr. Babbitt grew<br />
concerned that Precious was suffering from Medial Patellar<br />
Luxation (MPL) in her rear legs, also known as “loose knees.”<br />
“Her limping from the broken front leg had masked the<br />
symptoms of MPL in her rear legs,” Dr. Babbitt explained.<br />
MPL is another condition frequently seen in small dog<br />
breeds. A congenital condition, MPL is the result of structural<br />
abnormalities in a dog’s knee joint. In more serious cases of<br />
MPL, the dog will be unable to extend the affected leg. So<br />
Precious, who was experiencing severe MPL symptoms,<br />
would refrain from using her hind legs whenever possible,<br />
balancing her weight on her front legs when she walked.<br />
Once her front leg fracture was completely healed, Precious<br />
underwent surgery to correct the MPL in both rear legs. The<br />
complicated surgery, inv<strong>ol</strong>ving many modifications to the knee<br />
joints, was done at the <strong>San</strong> <strong>Diego</strong> <strong>Humane</strong> <strong>Society</strong>. Such an<br />
extensive surgery would be uncommon at most shelters, but at<br />
the <strong>San</strong> <strong>Diego</strong> <strong>Humane</strong> <strong>Society</strong>, hip repairs, tumor removals<br />
<strong>and</strong> even orthopedic surgeries can all be done for animals in<br />
our care in the facility’s state-of-the-art medical suite.<br />
After her MPL surgery Precious recovered quickly. Part of<br />
her rehabilitation included getting plenty of physical therapy<br />
through frequent walking to strengthen her legs, which had<br />
atrophied from lack of use. “She was so sweet <strong>and</strong> cuddly that<br />
it was hard to resist picking her up <strong>and</strong> carrying her,” says<br />
Veterinary Technician Karen Eckoff, “but she needed to<br />
exercise her legs a much as possible, so we had to encourage<br />
her to walk.”<br />
True to her name, this sweetheart charmed all the medical<br />
staff that worked with her during her stay. “She really was<br />
precious,” said Veterinary Assistant Heather Hanson. “I’m so<br />
glad we were able to help her.”<br />
Thanks to the care <strong>and</strong> efforts of the <strong>San</strong> <strong>Diego</strong> <strong>Humane</strong><br />
<strong>Society</strong>’s medical staff, this “precious” little girl jumpstarted her<br />
new life on four healthy legs. And thanks to the support of the<br />
community, the <strong>San</strong> <strong>Diego</strong> <strong>Humane</strong> <strong>Society</strong>’s medical team will<br />
continue to provide happy endings for adoptable pets for years<br />
to come.<br />
A Happy Ending For Precious: After her recovery, Precious (now Winnie) was<br />
adopted <strong>and</strong> is a happy <strong>and</strong> active young pup. Her adopter Amber Bedford<br />
says that she’s “looking <strong>and</strong> feeling better everyday” <strong>and</strong> is “a joy” to have<br />
in her life.<br />

During <strong>and</strong> After the October 2007 Wildfires<br />
A Helping H<strong>and</strong><br />
The <strong>Humane</strong> <strong>Society</strong>’s Fire Relief Pet Assistance Program<br />
After the fires, thous<strong>and</strong>s of people were faced with the reality that<br />
their homes were gone <strong>and</strong> with them, everything they owned. Many<br />
pet owners, including those who were evacuated from their homes,<br />
were in need of basic pet supplies <strong>and</strong> others had incurred pet-related<br />
expenses for boarding their pets or treating them for fire-related injuries.<br />
With pet supplies <strong>and</strong> money to help compensate for their pet-related<br />
costs <strong>and</strong>/or losses, the <strong>Humane</strong> <strong>Society</strong>’s Fire Relief Pet Assistance<br />
Program has provided many of these pet owners with much needed<br />
help during these tough times. And for those who are still in need, funds<br />
continue to be available for pet-related fire expense reimbursement.<br />

Survival of the Fittest<br />
An Animal Rescue Story<br />
One can only imagine the fear Barry the cat must have felt as fire<br />
raged through the mobile home park in Dulzura where he had taken<br />
refuge. Several days after the park burned down, Barry was found<br />
by <strong>Humane</strong> <strong>Society</strong> rescuers hiding in a drainage ditch. Rescuers<br />
surmised that the ditch most likely saved his life by protecting him<br />
from the heat <strong>and</strong> flames<br />
Three months later, Barry was a world away from that devastation,<br />
sleeping on tufted cat beds in a jungle-themed room in the <strong>Humane</strong><br />
<strong>Society</strong>’s adoption gallery. The only lasting signs of Barry’s tale of<br />
survival were some darkened areas near his ears where he had been<br />
burned <strong>and</strong> an injured tail. After an amazing journey from refugee<br />
to retiree, this affectionate 10-year-<strong>ol</strong>d was ready to find a home. On<br />
January 26, 2007 Barry did just that when he was adopted after his<br />
new pet parents saw his survival story on television.<br />

Dear <strong>San</strong> <strong>Diego</strong> <strong>Humane</strong> <strong>Society</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>SPCA</strong>,<br />
We want to thank you for the kind<br />
<strong>and</strong> generous check to offset some of our<br />
pet expenses after the fire. Though we<br />
lost our home, we have received so many<br />
unexpected blessings. Counted among<br />
them is the kindness we received from<br />
all of you. We were so impressed with<br />
the compassion <strong>and</strong> speed of your<br />
assistance. From the essentials of dog<br />
food <strong>and</strong> kitty litter to this wonderful<br />
financial help with our kennel expenses<br />
– there are no words adequate to convey<br />
our appreciation.<br />
Thank you for reaching out. You have<br />
made such a difference in our lives.<br />
With warm regards,<br />
Kevin <strong>and</strong> Terry Quigley<br />

Ask Dr. B<br />
<strong>No</strong>t Just “Big-Boned”: Spotting Obesity in Your Dog<br />
Q: My friends say that my dog is<br />
too heavy, but I’m not so sure – how<br />
do I know if my dog is overweight <strong>and</strong><br />
whether or not I’m feeding him too<br />
much?<br />
– Concerned in Coronado, Calif.<br />
A: Your question is a common one<br />
among dog owners. The most frequent<br />
nutritional problem I see in dogs is simply<br />
a problem of “too much.” Obesity is an<br />
epidemic among dogs in the U.S.; some<br />
studies have proposed that as many as<br />
50 percent of our dogs are either obese or<br />
overweight. A dog is defined as obese if it is<br />
20 percent or more over its ideal weight.<br />
When a dog is overweight, he is<br />
more prone to a variety of health issues<br />
including premature joint <strong>and</strong> bone<br />
degeneration, diabetes, <strong>and</strong> skin <strong>and</strong><br />
haircoat issues. Many overweight dogs also<br />
suffer from a decreased enjoyment of things<br />
they previously loved.<br />
I often hear the comment “my dog is<br />
not fat!” because it’s difficult to assess our<br />
companions with unbiased eyes. Also, since<br />
so many of our dogs are overweight, many<br />
people view chubby pups as “normal.”<br />
Dogs should have a visible waistline: there<br />
should be an obvious indentation behind<br />
A <strong>No</strong>te on Weight Loss in Cats<br />
While I have offered tips on helping our<br />
canine friends reach their ideal weight,<br />
obesity in cats is also a very serious <strong>and</strong><br />
very common problem. Be sure to set aside<br />
time for active play to ensure that your<br />
kitty gets some exercise. You can also try<br />
elevating his food; this will help make sure<br />
that he eats only when he is truly hungry.<br />
Plus, he’ll get in a little exercise jumping<br />
up to reach the bowl. However, it must<br />
be noted that cats have a very unique<br />
metab<strong>ol</strong>ism, <strong>and</strong> weight loss efforts in this<br />
species should be attempted only under a<br />
veterinarian’s supervision.<br />

Ideal Overfed Obese<br />
the ribs when he is viewed from above or<br />
the side. If the dog’s outline goes straight<br />
back from the ribs to the hips, he is overweight.<br />
If he has a “reverse” waistline, he<br />
is obese.<br />
While hormonal imbalances, such as<br />
Hypothyroidism, or lack of exercise can<br />
cause weight problems, the vast majority of<br />
dogs are overweight simply from eating too<br />
much. Owners often make excuses by<br />
classifying their dog as one of the f<strong>ol</strong>lowing:<br />
1. “The Nibbler” has food in front of<br />
him all day. He may only take in small<br />
amounts at a time, but it adds up to too<br />
much. If he is under-stimulated, he may be<br />
nibbling as a result of boredom.<br />
2. “The Beggar” has learned to make<br />
a fuss so his owner will feed him special<br />
treats – “my dog needs his cookies before<br />
he will go to bed.”<br />
3. “The Good Pet” gets his owner<br />
to reward good behavior with food. This<br />
probably started with good intentions, but<br />
has lost effectiveness because the pet is<br />
rewarded for routine, normal behaviors.<br />
4. “The Gourmet Pet” is fed a diet<br />
consisting mainly of special treats, usually<br />
human foods (similar to “The Beggar”).<br />
So what do we do to help our dogs<br />
lose weight? First, consult your<br />
veterinarian. Determine a starting<br />
weight as well as his ideal weight.<br />
Small dogs can be easily weighed at<br />
home with your bathroom scale. Weigh<br />
yourself, then pick up the dog for a<br />
combined weight. Weigh larger dogs at<br />
your veterinarian’s office.<br />
Next, decide on a feeding schedule.<br />
Most people have more luck if they feed<br />
their dogs a scheduled amount one or<br />
two times per day. Remember, you should<br />
determine the amount to feed your dog<br />
based on what he should weigh rather<br />
than what he currently weighs. While<br />
specifically formulated, low-calorie “diet<br />
foods” work well, any food will work if you<br />
simply feed less of it.<br />
Exercise is also very important. Leash<br />
walking is certainly the easiest <strong>and</strong><br />
probably the most effective to<strong>ol</strong> for weight<br />
loss. While it can be difficult to increase<br />
their activity level initially, as they lose<br />
weight, usually their enthusiasm for walks<br />
increases. There is an FDA approved dog<br />
weight loss medication, but it should only<br />
be used with dogs who are grossly obese<br />
(33 percent or more above their ideal<br />
weight) as determined by your veterinarian.<br />
In short, much the same as with you<br />
<strong>and</strong> I, there are no short cuts to weight<br />
loss. Reducing calorie intake <strong>and</strong> increasing<br />
exercise is the only real answer. Look<br />
at any diet program for your dog as the<br />
beginning of a lifetime of healthy habits<br />
<strong>and</strong> not just a short-term s<strong>ol</strong>ution.<br />
Sincerely,<br />
Jim Babbitt, D.V.M.<br />

named Piglet <strong>and</strong> a Bearded Dragon named Taz while<br />
learning lessons on animals <strong>and</strong> their habitats. This<br />
popular new program is offered on the third Thursday of<br />
each month at the <strong>San</strong> <strong>Diego</strong> <strong>Humane</strong> <strong>Society</strong>. For more<br />

s Practice Makes Perfect<br />
Having a dog that won’t come when called is not only<br />
frustrating to pet parents, it’s also dangerous for their<br />
dogs. Participants at the <strong>San</strong> <strong>Diego</strong> <strong>Humane</strong> <strong>Society</strong><br />
<strong>and</strong> <strong>SPCA</strong>’s January 26 Really Reliable Recall workshop<br />
learn what it takes to have their dog come when called<br />
anywhere <strong>and</strong> anytime. The Really Reliable Recall<br />
workshop is a one <strong>and</strong> a half-hour session dedicated to<br />
working on just your dog’s recall skills. Really Reliable<br />
Recall is offered on a monthly basis at the <strong>San</strong> <strong>Diego</strong><br />

Feline Festivus Brings Merry Meows<br />
In <strong>No</strong>vember <strong>and</strong> December 2007, many local shelters including<br />
the <strong>San</strong> <strong>Diego</strong> <strong>Humane</strong> <strong>Society</strong> were at capacity with cats. In an<br />
effort to find homes for more than 100 feline friends by the end of<br />
2007, the <strong>Humane</strong> <strong>Society</strong> kicked off December with an impromptu<br />
adoption event called Feline Festivus. Thanks to community support,<br />
gift baskets for adopters <strong>and</strong> the waiving of Buddy Adoption Fees,<br />
Feline Festivus made <strong>Humane</strong> <strong>Society</strong> history as one of the <strong>Humane</strong><br />
<strong>Society</strong>’s most successful adoption events to date. During Feline<br />
Festivus 42 cats found new homes <strong>and</strong> more than 120 cats went home<br />
during the month of December!<br />
<strong>No</strong>te: Cosmop<strong>ol</strong>itan (left) <strong>and</strong> his brother Manhattan found a new<br />
home together during Feline Festivus.<br />

s 30-Pound Cat Finds Love <strong>and</strong> Hope in<br />
His New Home<br />
When Chip arrived at the <strong>Humane</strong> <strong>Society</strong>, staff<br />
could see right away that he was in need of a diet. At<br />
30-pounds, Chip was so overweight that he couldn’t<br />
jump up or walk more than a few feet without<br />
c<strong>ol</strong>lapsing. However, despite his medical concerns,<br />
Chip made an immediate impression on v<strong>ol</strong>unteer<br />
Lauren Palazzo. Chip’s name is now Meatloaf <strong>and</strong><br />
Lauren says she’s “just crazy” about this “funny guy”<br />
who enjoys his daily brushings, being carried around<br />
like a baby <strong>and</strong> snuggling. Meatloaf is not only<br />
happier in his new home, he’s also healthier too.<br />
Meatloaf now weighs 27 pounds (a 10 percent<br />
decrease!) thanks to Lauren’s tender loving care.<br />
Meatloaf’s veterinarian says it may take him two<br />
years to safely lose 10 more pounds, but Lauren is<br />
just happy that they are on their way to “a healthier<br />
Meatloaf.”<br />

ARR Helps Remove Cow from Culvert<br />
On <strong>No</strong>vember 5, 2007 the call came in to the <strong>San</strong> <strong>Diego</strong><br />
<strong>Humane</strong> <strong>Society</strong>’s Animal Rescue Reserve (ARR) that a<br />
cow had become stuck in a culvert in Jamul. The cow,<br />
Vi<strong>ol</strong>et, was a beloved pet who had escaped her pen the<br />
evening before <strong>and</strong> had gone w<strong>and</strong>ering eastbound along<br />
Route 94. With the help of ropes, harnesses, a chain <strong>and</strong> a<br />
flatbed truck with a boom, our ARR was able to free Vi<strong>ol</strong>et<br />
<strong>and</strong> send her home to her family.<br />

Picking Up the Pieces<br />
After the funeral, the two<br />
surviving children went to work<br />
sorting through the papers of<br />
their deceased father, trying to get a<br />
h<strong>and</strong>le on his financial situation. They<br />
discovered three things:<br />
1. Their dad, a retired human<br />
services worker, had accumulated<br />
remarkable wealth through conservative<br />
investments <strong>and</strong> frugal living;<br />
2. Their dad had been generously<br />
supporting several charitable<br />
organizations;<br />
3. Their dad had left behind no will<br />
or other instructions to guide them in<br />
the distribution of his estate.<br />
Faced with this situation, the<br />
children decided to give a portion of<br />
their inheritance to the organizations<br />
their father had supported during his<br />
lifetime. They had to make assumptions<br />
about which organizations to help, how<br />
much he would have wanted to give, <strong>and</strong><br />
in what proportions.<br />
<strong>No</strong>t knowing his wishes made a tough<br />
time tougher!<br />
This is just one of several thorny<br />
issues the surviving family faces when<br />
a loved one dies without a will. In the<br />
midst of sorrow <strong>and</strong> time pressures,<br />
difficult decisions must be made. How<br />
much better it would have been had the<br />
father taken the time to create a will.<br />
Having an up-to-date <strong>and</strong> valid will<br />
is one of the greatest gifts anyone can<br />
give family members.<br />
To help you further consider this<br />
important responsibility, the <strong>San</strong> <strong>Diego</strong><br />
<strong>Humane</strong> <strong>Society</strong> has complimentary<br />
booklets containing helpful information<br />
regarding wills. For your personal <strong>and</strong><br />
