Foster care offers turning point for animals and families At any given time, about 150 animals are receiving in-home care, each with a variety of needs. The foster care program plays a crucial role in the Hawaiian Humane Society’s mission to save lives. Nearly 8,000 animals were adopted last year and almost a quarter of them spent time in a foster home before heading to the adoption center and finding their new family. Most in foster care need nothing more than time. They are too young and too small for sterilization and adoption so they spend a couple weeks with a foster family where they can grow. The Hinsdale family began fostering in 2011. “When our dog Sasha died, we were not ready to adopt but missed having a dog in our lives,” said Pam Hinsdale. “When we went to the Hawaiian Humane Society to donate Sasha’s bed and toys, we were told that if we weren’t ready to adopt, they

were always looking for new foster volunteers.” Since then, their home is more often than not filled with the sounds of scampering puppies. They have fostered over 40 dogs and also aided the Society when they needed help fostering over 100 dogs rescued from a Waimanalo puppy mill. Animals also come to the Humane Society in need of specialty care. Oreo, only four months old, was brought into the Society after being found in Wahiawa lying under a tree with a severely injured leg that needed to be surgically removed. He was placed in foster care where he recovered and learned to adjust to his new life on three legs.
As Oahu’s only open-admission shelter, a variety of animals besides cats and dogs are also placed in foster care. Diane Sugahara has been a part of the foster care program since 2004 and fosters only small animals like rabbits and guinea pigs. The best part about fostering small animals for Diane, who is a teacher, is being able to take them to work with her. “The animals get socialized and I get to teach my students about what I do and about adoption,” she said. Foster families, such as the Hinsdales and Sugaharas, helped to foster over 1,600 animals last year. To become a foster care volunteer, visit HawaiianHumane.org or call 356-2229.
President’s Letter
Accommodations for homeless must include pets Since our beginning in 1883, the Hawaiian Humane Society has been dedicated to creating a more humane society and protecting the most vulnerable in our community, which includes people and animals. We have a responsibility to promote the welfare of all animals and we are dedicated to promoting the humananimal bond. We do not differentiate between those living in homes or on the streets.
housing will be found for those in need. The National Coalition for the Homeless estimates that between 5 to 10% of America’s homeless have a dog or a cat. We must find ways to promote values of compassion throughout our community and keep pets and their people together.
Pamela Burns Pamela Burns has served as President and CEO since 1990.
Our community is facing tremendous challenges trying to balance the quality of life for our residents and visitors with those who don’t know where their next meal will come from or where they will be sleeping on any given night. There are several national and local programs aimed to reach out to people who are chronically homeless. But what will happen to people living under these conditions who consider their pets as part of their family? We are sometimes asked: “Why are the homeless allowed to have pets? Can’t you just take their animals away from them?” “If they can’t care for themselves how can they care for a pet?” What we have found is responsible pet ownership is not related to a person’s economic standing. In our experience with homeless individuals, the majority of pets are well cared for and loved. For so many people who have so few resources and support, pets provide unconditional love and can
be their only source of comfort and companionship. In communities across the nation, there is a growing realization that pets help homeless individuals both mentally and spiritually and can be their reason to wake up every morning. Therefore, it’s no surprise that California, Pennsylvania, Florida and other states have established transitional shelters that aim to keep people and pets together. The Hawaiian Humane Society encourages our community decision makers to remember that the bond between people and their animal companions is very strong and it is important to keep the two together, for both of their sakes. The Hawaiian Humane Society urges transitional shelters and policy makers to integrate provisions for pets into all plans for homeless people. We hope that pet-friendly 2

Is Fluffy frisky and feeling fine? Felines are masters at appearing “cool and collected.” In fact, they’re just so cool it’s often hard to tell when they’re
sick. You might even dismiss subtle signs of sickness as simply aging since cats are so masterful at hiding how they feel. Chief veterinarian Dr. Aleisha Swartz advises, “Trust your instinct if you think she doesn’t seem like herself.” To check that your cat is healthy, routine visits to the veterinarian
every six months are essential. Cats on average visit the veterinarian fewer times per year than dogs, according to the American Veterinary Medical Association. Veterinarians may be able to detect disease or illness early on and treat it, which ensures your cat’s happiness and health, as well as saves you time and money. Some noticeable differences in health or behavior that may be warning signs are as follows: bad breath; becoming more or less affectionate; a drop or increase in eating or drinking; change in activity level; acting out of character; and drastic change in weight.

The dynamic duo of Julio and Iselle were two storms that whipped Hawaii in to ship shape for a disaster. On Oahu, the Hawaiian Humane Society worked closely with the City’s emergency headquarters in the days preceding the storm for updates and news.

Meet the Society’s 2015 pinup pets Many proud parents vied for their pets to be pinups for the Society’s 2015 Pets in Paradise calendar and helped raise more than $22,000 through photo entries and voting. If you thought stage mothers of pageant kids were a little eccentric, wait until you meet Ebby, Jessica Fletcher and Zyprexa’s parents. Carol Asai-Sato of Honolulu has bought Ebby dozens of Snoopy toys, as she knows how much Ebby hates to be too far from her favorite cartoon character despite her many other toys. It can’t just be any Snoopy either – Ebby’s best friend is a specific one that comes from Japan. A special mahalo to Carol who also voted for Hawaiian Humane Society’s staff entries.

Pet-Worthy
Learn your dog’s body language by CATHERINE TOTH
It can be hard to understand other humans so figuring out what your dog is telling you can be a real challenge. Karen Hashimoto, a veteran dog trainer with nearly 20 years of experience working with all sorts of breeds, says correctly reading your dog’s body language can help in understanding what he wants or needs.
Averted eyes signals that he’s submissive.
But it takes more than just deciphering his actions. “The main thing is that with a lot of these body languages, what your dog does is very situational and not every situation is the same,” says Hashimoto, who owns Kolohe K-9. “You have to take it with the context.” Here are some common dog behaviors and what they could possibly mean.
YAWNING Like humans, dogs yawn when they’re tired. But that’s not the only reason for the deep inhale, Hashimoto says. Yawning is often used a calming signal, either for themselves or for others around them. For example, if a dog is nervous at the vet’s office, she might yawn repeatedly to calm herself down. “Sometimes dogs yawn at other dogs or people to calm them down,” she says. “It tells the other party, ‘Chill.’” The best way to determine the meaning of the yawn is to look at the situation. If she yawns while stretched out comfortably in her bed, she’s probably just tired. But if she yawns in a stressful situation, she’s likely trying to calm down. LICKING Dogs may lick themselves when they’re nervous or stressed. 10
Sometimes they’ll lick their nose, flicking so quickly it’s almost hard to detect. It often happens when a dog is approaching another dog or when you speak to him in an angry voice. This licking may be a way for the pooch to calm himself down. “Most people don’t see this because it happens so fast,” Hashimoto says. “The dog could just be itchy. But it could also be a calming signal. It all depends on the situation.” WAGGING TAIL A wagging tail is often assumed to mean the dog is happy and friendly. But that’s not always the case. “You can’t just read one portion of the dog’s body language,” Hashimoto says. “You have to take into consideration what’s happening with the entire body.”
A calm, happy dog will likely have her mouth open, maybe panting a little, with her shoulders down and relaxed eyes. Worried or aggressive dogs may wag their tails, too. You have to look at other physical signs. “If she’s stiff or her ears are back or she’s snarling or growling, that tells me she’s possibly aggressive,” Hashimoto says. “A wagging tail doesn’t always mean, ‘I’m a friendly dog and you can come and approach me.’” DIGGING Digging is an instinctual activity, ingrained in every dog. Many times dogs will dig in blankets or cushions to make a comfy nest. “They’re just trying to get comfortable,” Hashimoto says. “It’s nothing more than just, ‘I want to be nice and cozy.’ I’ve even seen dogs (try to) dig on cement.” Dogs are den animals and will likely dig in the cool soil or sand to escape the heat. They also may dig to hid or uncover food. And, of course, they might dig just because it’s fun.
BARKING There are various reasons why dogs bark, from wanting attention to raising an alarm at the first signs of possible danger. Barking is one of the most important ways dogs communicate, and you have to take other behaviors and the context of the barking into consideration when trying to decode its meaning.
Sometimes a dog may bark because he’s nervous, much in the same way humans have a nervous laugh, Hashimoto says. “The bottom line is, though, that dogs are barking for some kind of attention,” she says. “It depends on the context and situation.”

Humane Society once protected women, kids by BOB SIGALL
This article was originally featured in the Honolulu Star-Advertiser on July 18, 2014. Mahalo to Bishop Museum for the photos. Many organizations in Hawaii have shifted their missions dramatically since they were founded. The YMCA, for instance, thought Hawaii was too hot for serious exercise until its third decade. Palama Settlement was a chapel of Kaumakapili church until the Chinatown fire of 1900, when it became a refuge for the newly homeless and a social service agency. The first Hawaii library was for working men only. Women and children were not allowed when it opened. The Hawaiian Humane Society, the subject of this week’s column, did take care of women and children when it was founded in 1883, in addition to its main focus, working animals (horses, water buffalos and mules) and cattle.
King David Kalakaua was a founding member of the society and donated one of his homes on the palace grounds to serve as its first office, says Hawaiian Humane Society President Pamela Burns. Burns says that by 1897 news of Hawaii’s Society spread across the country, and other communities were inspired to take similar actions. In researching this article, I found several interesting things I didn’t know before. Polynesians brought dogs, or ilio, with them to Hawaii, along with pigs and chickens. The term “poi dog” is somewhat controversial. In the Hawaiian Humane Society’s book, “Poi Dogs and Popoki,” they say, “Many 19th century Western accounts stated these dogs were regularly fed sweet potato poi or taro poi to fatten them. So was born the term ‘poi dog.’”
In ancient times, however, many say poi was sacred and would not have been fed to dogs. If the term was coined after the kapu system was overthrown in 1819, both those things can be true. “Westerners brought dogs with them, which interbred with the Hawaiian ilio,” Burns says. “The expression ‘poi dog’ came to mean one of unrecognizable breed.” Capt. Cook carried cats with him on his voyages. He recounted in his journal that a favorite cat had fallen overboard but was rescued by a native canoe in 1778. Our monarchs were fond of pets. Queen Kaahumanu, a wife of Kamehameha the Great, had a large, black pet hog that, on at least one occasion, she took with her to Kawaiaha‘o Church. The congregation was alarmed and some hurried
12
out, but she soothed the pet to sleep with a gentle petting of his back. The congregation returned and the minister finished his sermon. Kamehameha III had a pet mastiff, Evelaina, said the Pacific Commercial Advertiser in 1857. When the king died, the dog remained at his grave, leaving only to eat, for two years. Kamehameha IV and Queen Emma had a small white dog, and Queen Liliuokalani had a pet tortoise that was well known in the kingdom. Kamehameha V had a pet parrot named Pahua who chattered in Hawaiian on a perch at Iolani Palace. Mynah birds were brought from Australia around 1880, Harry Frank states in the Hawaiian Humane Society book. They are the “clowns of the feathered kingdom,” he believed. Chinese merchants brought the first goldfish to the islands, and they eventually made their way to the West Coast. Soon every respectable parlor
in the islands had a bowl of them. I thought St. Francis Healthcare System was unique, in that it was headed by eight women and one man in its 131-year history. The Hawaiian Humane Society has similarly been headed by seven women and one man, and both organizations date to the same year: 1883. Before he was a police officer, Chang Apana, who inspired Earl Derr Biggers to create the fictional detective Charlie Chan, was the first paid officer for the Humane Society, in 1900. By the mid-1880s, a group believed animals were being overworked, underfed, neglected or abused, and formed the first organization in Hawaii to fight it. By 1897, Helen Kinau Wilder was made a marshall and entrusted with the authority to investigate and arrest people for animal cruelty. Wilder was not intimidated by any man. When she went to a church and found the minister had tied his horse outside by its tongue, she marched inside and denounced him before the entire congregation. On another occasion she stopped Gov. Sanford Dole and his wife, Anna, on the street because their horse had a large sore under its collar. They were furious, but a few years later Anna Dole became president of the society. Ten years later Lucy Ward, one of Victoria Ward’s seven daughters, became Honolulu’s most visible champion of animal welfare. She carried a badge, bullwhip and pistol, and made her rounds on horseback and later in a Model T Ford. In 1914 the Honolulu Star-Bulletin wrote about how Ward came upon a 3-year-old girl whose mother forced 13
liquor upon her nightly. The girl was placed in a shelter. In the same month, Ward had rescued nine children from abuse, placing them in private homes or the Salvation Army home. When she wanted to retire in 1925, Honolulu’s mayor brought a petition to the society’s board with 500 signatures asking her to stay. That same year, the society opened its first animal shelter, in Kakaako, on Pohukaina and Koula streets on land donated by the Ward family. It moved to its current site in Moiliili in 1942. In 1935 the work the society did with children was spun off into a separate organization, now called Child & Family Service. Education played a large role in changing the way Hawaii treated its animals. One of the keys to the Be Kind to Animals campaign was Freckles the dog, who visited schools from 1946 to the 1980s. Thousands of kids a year sent mail addressed to Freckles. Actually it was seven generations of tan-and-white cocker spaniels. Freckles II performed for 15 years and educated over 300,000 kids. Today the Humane Society has educated and convinced the public that animal cruelty is wrong, and violations of that are rare. The society maintains a shelter in Moiliili, and its work continues throughout the community. On July 24, 2014 the Humane Society celebrates its 131st anniversary. It has certainly made Hawaii a better place, since its founding in 1883.
