Humane Society receives $10,000 from ASPCA
Grant award provides cats at the Humane Society with improved housing
The South Wood County Humane Society is the recipient of a $10,000 grant through The
ASPCA® (American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to
Animals®) Northern Tier
Shelter Initiative, which will provide housing improvements for cats waiting for new forever
Closed Sunday & Wednesday homes. “The Humane Society provides safe shelter for 125 cats every single day,” said
Executive Director Bridget Chariton. “These funds will ensure the most comfortable and
Executive Director
stress-free housing during their stay.”
Bridget Chariton
“The ASPCA is proud to support the South Wood County Humane Society in updating their
Pet Care Coordinator
shelter to provide larger housing units for the animals in their care. The renovations will not

only create a more enriching living environment but will also increase South Wood Humane
Staff
Society’s capacity for care,” said Michael Barrett, Vice President of Grants Management at the
ASPCA. “This is a terrific example of how the Northern Tier Shelter Initiative Grant helps

local shelters improve the lives of animals.”

The initiative features several projects including: the installation of portholes to cages on the
Tina Gerrettie
adoption floor, a new bank of kennels with side litter box compartments and new play
equipment for the free roaming and visiting rooms. Installing portholes in the adoption room

cages will double the square footage of housing space, offering more room, the ability to

socialize with another cat and more efficient cleaning for staff and volunteers. The new bank
Mike Peabody
of kennels with side compartments will allow shy cats to feel more comfortable on the
Brynn Podawiltz
adoption floor by providing an area to hide if necessary. Finally, the new play equipment is

designed to allow for daily sanitization which will reduce the spread of illness for cats housed

Stray Hold Law Changes Affects All Pet Owners
The Wisconsin stray hold laws have recently changed and they affect all pet owners. If your
pet becomes lost and ends up at a shelter or rescue, you now have just five days (four days
plus the day of confiscation) to find them before they become the property of the stray hold
organization and can potentially be adopted or transferred to another facility. The stray hold
was reduced from eight days to the current five days in March of this year.
What does that mean for pet owners? It means if your animal becomes lost, you should act
immediately. These steps will increase your chances of being reunited with your pet:
1. File a "lost" report with all area humane societies, rescues and veterinary clinics.
Depending on where your animal is found, he could be brought to a shelter outside of
your contracted area. It’s important to contact all organizations within at least a
60 mile radius.
2. Look online! Some shelters and rescues post pictures of their stray animals online.
3. Post online! Lost Dogs of Wisconsin and Lost Cats of Wisconsin have
websites for owners to submit lost information and automatically generate flyers.
4. Get the word out! Distribute flyers to neighbors with a pictures & description.
We encourage all pet owners to get identification tags and microchipping for their animals. It
will give pet owners the best possible chance of being reunited with their animal should they
be brought to a shelter as a stray.

Did You Know…
Thanks to the citizens of Wood County,
the Sheriff's Department has two K-9's.
Deputies Brandon Christianson and
James Pidgeon are certified K-9 police
dog handlers and have both attended
highly specialized K-9 police dog training
at Southern Police Canine, Inc., one of
the largest private Law Enforcement dog
training facilities in the world located in
Spring Hope North Carolina. During the
deputies training there, the two K-9s
were specifically matched to their prospective handlers. The training focuses
on harnessing the dog's greatest attributes for police work: the ability to track
and detect suspects and intimidate them
psychologically.
There is a K-9 unit available on most
shifts. The K-9's are trained in narcotic
detection, patrol apprehension, tracking,
and are what is termed 'full service' dogs.
The K-9’s consist of German Shepherds
named Toro and Ace. Demand for K-9
presentations to various groups and
schools remains high. People of all ages
enjoy the opportunity to see the K-9's
and hear of their exploits. The K-9s
seem to enjoy all the attention lavished
upon them at these presentations. The K
-9’s drug work is the highlight of their
deployments as the K-9 team works
hard for the Central Wisconsin Drug
Task Force. Cocaine and heroin seem to
be in high demand in the area and it
shows up in the frequency that we are
called to look specifically for it. The K-9's
are highly regarded for their tracking
ability and are called upon to look for
lost people, drunk drivers fleeing the
scene, and burglars. The K-9s' ability to
locate small items thrown away during
crimes are always put to the test,
successfully.
Beth Peabody’s SWCHS Pet Care
Coordinator recently spoke with Wood
County Deputy James Pidgeon to learn
Page 3
more about K-9 Toro, an 8 year old
German Shepherd.
gatherings Toro doesn’t take kindly to
moving to a smaller space.
What is the length of K-9 training?
What is the most important think you would
like the public to know about K-9 officers?
K-9s begin training at 2 months old and
lasts until 2 years old. Officers receive 2
months of intensive training with dog and
receives continuous training from then
on. The more training the dog gets, the
more effective the officer will be.
What do you like best about working with
Toro?
Although Toro is a canine, he is an
officer of the law, carries a badge and
wears a bullet proof vest.
Thank you Officer Pidgeon for taking
time to speak with SWCHS and special
thanks to both of Officer’s for their
service.
The loyalty from having my partner there
all the time.
What is the most challenging part about
having a dog for a partner?
Toro can’t be a normal dog because he
is always training and working there is no
separation of work and personal time.
He can’t be spoiled like a normal dog,
receiving table scraps or treats, because
it would interfere with his work.
Where does Toro sleep?
Toro has his own room in our home.

BE A FOSTER SAVE A LIFE
In 2015, our network of foster volunteers helped to save the
lives of 70 animals! We need loving homes like yours to
continue helping these animals in need of extra time and care.
Foster Volunteer FAQs
What kind of animals need foster care?
• Puppies and kittens under two months old
• Mothers with nursing litters
• Dogs or cats with medical conditions or injuries
• Special needs fosters
Can I become a foster parent if I have pets?
Yes, we welcome pet owners as foster volunteers. Please
keep in mind that there is always a health risk when exposing
your pets to other animals, in any setting. However, the risk
is minimal if your pets are vaccinated and in good health.
How long do animals stay in foster care?
The typical foster stay is two weeks to two months,
depending on the needs of the individual animal(s) in your
care. The timeframe of each foster situation will be discussed
with you ahead of time.
What expenses are involved with foster care?
Foster families provide housing, food, bedding and toys for
the animals in their care. They also provide exercise,
socialization and lots of love! The Humane Society provides
all medical care for animals in foster homes, including
vaccination, medications and spay/neuter surgery.
SWCHS volunteer, Anna Jinsky, 12 years old, was awarded the
Wisconsin Junior Heroes for Animals award through Badger
Rescue Animals Transport Service in January.

The Store Guests Help To Raise
Money For The
Humane Society
Team Schierl Companies made a difference in our community by helping the animals at the Humane Society of
Portage County. During the “I Bought a Bone” campaign,
which ran in April, guests of The Store convenience store
purchased paper bones for $1,$5 & $10 each. The bones
were hung up inside the store locations and wallpapered
many. With the community’s help, Team Schierl
companies raised $3,600.00 for the South Wood
County Humane Society.
“100% of the Buy A Bone campaign directly benefit
animals at South Wood County Humane Society.
Specifically, funds help to provide necessary vaccines and
medical treatment for animals needing rehabilitative care.
On behalf of the Humane Society’s staff, Board of
Directors and volunteers, I would like to thank those in
our community who participated in this campaign. Your
support is greatly appreciated.” Bridget Chariton Executive Director
Team Schierl Companies (TSC) was established in 1956
by Butch (John) Schierl in the home heating oil business.
TSC is currently owned and operated by John’s three
sons, Tim, Fritz and Bill Schierl. TSC operates 40 retail
locations in Wisconsin and the upper peninsula of Michigan focusing primarily in service industries. In “Building
Tomorrow Together,” Team Schierl Companies employs
approximately 480 Associates between The Store,
Subway, Schierl and Hartje Tire & Service Centers,
Schierl Oil, Cousins Subs, and Team Administration with
annual sales of approximately $120 million. For more

number far greater than the number of people willing to
adopt them. Spaying/neutering your pet is a step toward
helping to control pet overpopulation in our area. In both
cats and dogs spaying/neutering can reduce the risks of
certain disorders and cancer.
How can YOU help?
For $65 you can sponsor a pet’s surgery. A sign will be
placed on a pet’s kennel indicating to a potential adopter
that they will receive a discount toward that pet’s spay or
