joy for her son Connor, who has a
neurodevelopmental condition.
The human-canine relationship –
reportedly forged nearly 15,000 years
ago as a means to improved mutual
survival -- continues to flourish as
researchers plumb the astounding
depths of canine intelligence and
dogs adapt to an evolving suite of
protective, assistive, and therapeutic
services.
Connor with Pepper Potts
Fans of the popular Avengers comic/
movie franchise recognize Pepper
Potts as the iconic Ironman’s loyal,
no-nonsense companion and voice of
reason.
To Dr. Jennifer Huffman, pediatric
neuropsychologist with Bloomington’s
The Able Center, Huffman’s threeyear-old golden retriever Pepper
Potts is the true hero – a therapeutic
client helpmate at her office and a
source of comfort, friendship, and
Huffman, who specializes in juvenile
brain/behavior issues, acknowledges
that “not every child is going to
benefit from a dog.” But for children
with autism, whose communication
may be or is sometimes nonverbal,
the right dog can be the ideal
companion, picking up non-verbal
cues when they become emotional
and providing a stabilizing presence
in uncertain or anxious situations.
When Connor experiences a
“meltdown,” Pepper Potts’ soothing
contact “completely resets him,”
Huffman relates.

A recent Missouri study indicates
canine companionship provides
essentially the same human health
benefits of red wine or chocolate:
On average, subject blood pressure
dropped an average roughly 10
percent after fifteen minutes of
petting their own dog, versus a
strange animal or robotic “dog.”
Mood-balancing blood serotonin
levels rose in subjects petting their
own dog, and remained stable with
an unfamiliar pooch. Adopting a
rescue animal “will lift your spirits
and lower your blood pressure,”
Humane Society of Central Illinois
Development Director Madonna
Courtright asserts.
“I think dogs that have been put up
for adoption by a Humane Society or
rescue are an untapped resource for
being able to provide great comfort
or for potentially tapping into service
dogs,” Huffman maintains.

HSCI Paw Prints – Summer 2016
R.I.P., DAVE
Alpha•Notes
As most
of you are
aware, canine
influenza
has hit the
BloomingtonNormal area
very hard over
the past 4-6
weeks. Even
though the
number of new cases has been
dropping over the past couple of
weeks, you need to be proactive
in protecting your dog against this
virus.
A couple of quick, but key points are
that this virus (known as H3N2) is a
new virus that dogs have not been
exposed to before. So they have no
prior immunity built up against it.
Also, the Bordetella vaccine that
your dog has probably gotten to
prevent kennel cough has no effect
against this virus as they are two
completely separate diseases.
Since summer is already upon us,
more of you will be outside with
your dogs, at parks, on trails, even
just walking the neighborhood.
The best way to protect your dog
is to get him or her vaccinated.
The vaccine for the H3N2 virus
has been out for about 6 months
now and has proven to be very
effective at preventing infection in
most dogs. Dogs need to have a
two-shot vaccination series done
the first year and then yearly after
that. If you haven’t had your dog
vaccinated against this disease
yet, I strongly recommend you do
so as it will not only help your dog,
but also others that he or she may
come into contact with.

HSCI Board President
HSCI Paw Prints – Summer 2016
by Kim Miller
The Humane Society of Central Illinois
lost a long-time, dedicated past board
member on May 8, Dave Severino, who
was board president and supporter for
many years. Without Dave’s help, I doubt
that the HSCI would have survived. Not
many realize how much he did for us.
Dave was responsible for purchasing our
current building, a somewhat controversial
decision at the time, but which made us
much more visible in the community.
When the Illinois Humane Care for
Animals Act was under development,
Dave hired a lobbyist to ensure that the
Act contained acceptable provisions for
animal care. A lobbyist is not cheap - the HSCI could not afford to pay for
one – so Dave (primarily) and Maury Barry covered the expense. Both also
opened their wallets other times when the HSCI was running short.
Dave was a dedicated humane investigator, to the point that he
sometimes pushed the envelope when checking into a situation, but
Dave’s concern was always for the animals. More than once he broke the
window of a vehicle to rescue a dog left in a car on a hot day, saving the
life of the dog. Dave also provided a home for some of our harder to place
rescues, dogs, cats, horses, llamas, and even a bull.
So rest in peace, Dave. I have no doubt you are on the other side of the
Rainbow Bridge, reunited with all of your beloved pets. You were one of
the good ones.
New Role Established in Spring
HSCI recently brought on a
development director as a NEW,
full-time role at the shelter. The
shelter currently has three other fulltime staff and seven part-time staff.
A long-time member of the
Bloomington-Normal community,
Madonna Courtright has taken on the
responsibilities as the development
director. She joins the organization
with a wealth of knowledge as
an award-winning, marketing
communication specialist and graphic
designer. She has also assisted
organizations in raising hundreds of
thousands of dollars through her fund
development consulting. Courtright
has many new initiatives in store to
further a sense of community with
2
HSCI and help to
financially secure the
welfare of our pets.
Over the past nine
years, she has
assisted non-profit
organizations in
McLean County with
public relations and development
needs through her service FlyingPigz
Designz. In 2013, she received the
YWCA Women of Distinction Award for
her work with local non-profits. Before
coming to Bloomington-Normal in
1990, Courtright spent ten years in
the Dallas and New York markets.
If you haven’t met her yet, please
drop by, introduce yourself, and say
hi. She would love to meet you!

Kickin’ Up Our Paws for a Great Cause!
Recap of HSCI 6TH Annual Dinner & Auction
by Kathy Schniedwind
As our biggest fundraiser, our goal
for the HSCI Dinner and Auction
is to gross more than $100,000.
Well, we did it again thanks to
many, many people. Grossing over
$133,000 this year made it our
second highest total in the six years
we have been doing this event. Our
annual Fund-a-Need portion of the
live auction was to “Pay down the
Mortgage.” We raised $35,100
which will help us to hopefully pay
off the mortgage on our building in
less than two years. Many thanks to
Illinois Charity Auctions for working
with us again this year and every
year we have done this event. They
provide us with wonderful trips for
our live auction and they are always
successful. This year we sold 14
trips, including seven to Africa, four
to Italy and three to St. Thomas.
Businesses and individuals in
the community, as well as many
outside the community, donated
wonderful auction items, and we
received numerous compliments on
the quality of those items. We had
many volunteers helping us procure
auction items as well as helping
setup, tear down, and registering
guests that night. The auction
committee did a fantastic job
putting the entire evening together
with the original theme “Kicking Up
our Paws for a Great Cause.”
Thank you to our wonderful
sponsors who support us all
year long but especially for
this event. We appreciate all
you do for us. Thank you to the HSCI
staff and Board of Directors who
all contributed to make this year’s
auction another huge success. We
added something different this year
by providing a jazz band to entertain
guests while they walked around in
the silent auction area. The Brian
Choban Jazz Band provided some
great music for us. Thank you Brian!
Thank you to all who made this a
wonderful evening. The animals
gave you a standing ovation!
Have a great summer!
Thank You ALL Very Much!
Please mark your calendars for

HSCI Paw Prints – Summer 2016
July 31 is National Mutt Day!
I like big MUTTS and I cannot lie!
by Sherry Hawkins
UPCOMING
EVENTS
Breed Education
This article will focus on common breeds, misconceptions and personality traits that are
important to know before adopting or condemning a specific breed.
Approximately 3-4 million animals
are euthanized every year, most of
which are mixed breed dogs. Since
there is no bad breed (only bad
owners) and there is no single
breed perfect in every way, mixed
breeds make for awesome pets.
Top 5 reasons mutts are awesome:
1. They are unique! Think Tramp, Old Yeller, and Benji.
2. They are flexible; typically they
have more moderate personalities. Since mutts can
claim multiple ancestral ties,
they are less likely to fall into any
extremes.
3. They are adorable!
4. Typically, they have fewer specific
heath issues. To achieve desired
traits, purebred dogs are often
the result of inbreeding, leading
certain breeds to have a higher
risk of developing serious health
problems.
At this year’s gala, Kay Richardson
won naming rights for our driveway.
If you would like to see you or your
pet’s name permanently placed at
HSCI check out Page 9 to sponsor
pavers for our pet patio and help us
Pave the Pathway!
5. When you adopt, you help reduce
pet overpopulation. Over ¾ of the
pets in shelters are mixed breeds.
Remember...
Adoption is the best option!
When adopting an animal from the
shelter, you can talk with the staff
and learn the personality traits
both good and bad of the dog (or
PetcareServicebyBeth.com
cat) you are considering making
part of your forever family. Consider
adopting an adult dog or cat; their
personalities have already developed
and you can spot what you are
looking for more easily than with a
puppy or kitten.

Pretend We Don’t Have a Dog
by Bob Ryder, PMCT, CPDT-KA
I work with a lot dogs that have
aggression problems. The most
common cause of aggression is
fear, and one common cause of fear
is attention from humans. Why?
Sometimes dogs are afraid
of human attention because
they’ve learned from unfortunate
experience that it means they’re
likely to be yelled at or hurt.
Other times dogs are afraid of
human attention because they’re
genetically shy, and anyone new/
unknown feels threatening.
Sometimes it’s both. Either way, if
the fear is strong enough, a dog can
feel the need to protect
herself.
One simple technique
that can help some dogs
suffering from this very
unpleasant condition is
to avoid looking at them
– ignoring them and
behaving as if they’re
simply not in the area
until they get used to you.
Clients with a small breed
dog prone to ferocious barking
when visitors understandably look
at and talk to him (“Hey - he’s
a cutie!”) started telling guests,
Research Defines, Refines Human
Beyond defining and quantifying the
bond between human and canine,
science is working to bolster that
rapport and, according to Illinois
Wesleyan University psychology
prof and Dog Cognition Lab Director
Ellen Furlong, help foster lasting
relationships for shelter and other
dogs. Furlong’s student-assisted
team of IWU Dog Scientists currently
is exploring moral reasoning, social
cognition, self-control, decision
making, and, perhaps most incredibly,
numerical reasoning using caninecapable touch-screen pads.
Recent Glen Ellyn IWU grad Steph
AuBuchon hopes her research into
dog impulse control might help
reduce shelter populations by helping
prospective owners initially select
a dog “that fits their ability to deal
with different levels of self-control.”
AuBuchon, a Humane Society of
Central Illinois volunteer, developed
an apparatus that can test a dog’s
ability to defer a few nuggets of kibble
in favor of waiting patiently for a more
desirable piece of jerky.
Her findings were illuminating: Some
more “hyper” dogs demonstrate
admirable self-control, while some
continued from page 1
shier ones frequently lack any control.
Overall, however, self-control varies
from dog to dog, and age doesn’t
appear to be a factor. Testing can
help assure dogs a “forever home,”
AuBuchon suggests.
The study continues, but “it’s all going
in the right direction,” Furlong notes:
“Owners are reporting that the dogs
who are better at holding off and
waiting for the jerky are exhibiting
’way fewer negative behaviors than
the dogs who are eating that kibble
right away.”
Courtright is buoyed by IWU’s
research, which could improve HSCI’s
already-rigorous prospective pet
screening process.
“Our pet caregivers work closely with
our animals the second they come
through HSCI doors,” the long-time
Bloomington resident notes. “They
can recommend to prospective
adopters if a pet is good with other
pets, children, or if it is a pet that
needs the quiet surroundings with an
adult, or to be the only pet in-house.
We strive not to have pets returned.
We want them in ‘FURever’ homes.
Happy pets, happy people.”
5
“Pretend we don’t have a dog.” This
gave their little guy a chance to get
used to the visitors and check them
out without being overwhelmed with
eye contact, talk, and being reached
for from way up high. After a few
minutes, guests would toss a few
treats for the dog to pick up, then
add just a bit of quiet attention, and
from there the dog was able to relax
and meet them with no difficulty.
Of course this won’t be enough to
help every fearful dog. If a dog is
standoffish, tense, or growls, gently
back away and give her space. Hold
off on introductions, confine the dog
behind a closed door, and consider
consulting with a certified trainer
educated in and experienced with
aggression cases (and who only
uses gentle, force-free methods).
Being slow and gentle when offering
attention is a great suggestion for
meeting any dog. Until a dog seems
to ask for your attention with happy/
wiggly body language, see what
happens if you pretend the dog isn’t
there at first.

No-No’s
for Fido (the Dog) & Fluffy (the Cat)
by: Pennie Gray
We all love our pets and think of
them as part of the family. They
sleep with us; they go on trips;
perhaps we carry on somewhat onesided conversations with them from
time to time. Some of us even
dress them to match our own
wardrobe—we’re not judging. Still
there’s one area where they can’t
be treated like family: their diet.
There are all kinds of foods that
are unsafe for pets according to
WebMD, so use caution when giving
your beloved pet a special treat.
Most pet owners know that
chocolate can be fatal for dogs
causing abnormal heart rhythms,
tremors, seizures, and even
death, but other human foods not
meant for your dog or cat include
avocados, alcohol, garlic, onions,
and things with caffeine like
coffee or tea. Raisins and grapes
are likewise a problem for pets
as they can cause kidney failure.
Other sweet treats that can have
negative health effects include
candy and gum, but one surprising
food that is especially bad for pets
is macadamia nuts. And lest you
risk giving your pet Salmonella or
E. coli, steer clear of raw eggs, fish,
and meat. Even dairy products are
not the best choice in that they can
cause diarrhea and other digestive
issues. So, how about giving the
dog a bone? That’s not a great idea,
either, because bones can splinter
and cause internal bleeding.
So, just what can your pet eat?
Stick to foods and treats designed
specifically for your dog or cat. For
special occasions, feed Fido or
Fluffy lean meats, small portions of
fresh fruit, or plain cooked rice and
pasta. Bon appetit, Fido and Fluffy!
