Christmas presents came rolling in on the Blain's Farm & Fleet sleigh with Russ Steinhoff Jr driving wearing his Santa hat! It was complete with a giant red bow and plenty of hugs were given to our many adoptable pets at the Forest County Humane Society! I can not thank Blains farm and Fleet for helping so many animals with such a huge giving heart! Not to just our humane society, but many local shelters and other organizations! So I want to express to the administration of Blaines, you have no idea what a wonderful group of people you have representing your company. If I could give an award of excellence it would go to them, hands down. We are forever grateful and you are now full time family at the Forest County Humane Society! Special thanks to: Russ Steinhoff Jr., Jacob Steinhoff, Renee Uphill, Michelle Hernandez, Nick Shufelt, and Paul Klavekoske! Amazing, amazing, amazing differences you are making by random acts of kindness throughout local communities! And on a sweet note… Cabbage, is now adopted by Russ and is officially a Blains dog ♥️ Merry Christmas Cabbage, you are blessed! I also have more thanks to share tomorrow to some other amazing people that have helped meet our needs… and information on upcoming events. So show them some love guys, they deserve it

A reminder that the Bissell Reduced Fee adoption event is still taking place to approved applications until December 17, 2024… That means you can get a fully vetted adult cat or most of our fully vetted adult dogs for $50.00
Please get me your applications in and take advantage of this great chance to bring home a new forever friend. Please keep in mind that we do not adopt animals as presents, so if you’re considering adoption, please remember animals are a life long commitment to your new furry friend! Please make everyone in the household involved in being a part of the adoption process! Everyone that will be involved in its daily life, must meet the animal prior to adoption.

THE PERILS OF PUNISHMENT

It’s easy to stop or suppress a behaviour by using punishment, force or pain and say that it really works, so why even bother to do it differently?

Punishment based methods may well “fix” the behaviour quickly, are far easier, require far less effort, less knowledge, less education, or even just be based on traditional belief, but these methods come at a great cost - destroying trust, creating insecurity, fear, anxiety, provoking aggression, causing dogs to shut down or feel helpless and prevent dogs from learning an alternative, more acceptable behaviour.

There is so much modern, scientific evidence to support force free, positive reinforcement methods as being the most effective and successful way to modify behaviour.

There is nothing admirable, ethical or intelligent in physically or emotionally forcing any sentient being to comply.

Take the time and make a commitment to understand and learn about positive, force free, science-based methods.

We are appointment only this week due to planning and preparing for our upcoming event at Long Branch Saloon, on Saturday September 28,2024. We will be preparing items for raffle and 50/50 items, cooking and baking for the bake sale portion and a lot of other little things to make it a huge success to benefit the animals of the FCHS. For example, Monkey, featured below, is one of many that is still searching for her forever home… ( get me your applications found on our website ) We will also be on a closed meeting status on Tuesday, September 24, 2024 to work on the event. Thank you for your patience and understanding as we try to generate much needed funds for the ever populating food and medical bills here. If you plan on baking or making a basket please text me at: 715-889-9716 to make arrangements to drop off or pick up. We want to thank the generosity of our donators so far for the event and of-course Longbranch Saloon for offering their time, resources and facility to help the animals. We are forever grateful for your hospitality and generosity. We will be showing some of the baskets available this week as they are prepared. I plan on going live at the event as well where you can help us reach our goals! I will have more information on that this week! We may try to plan a way you can purchase tickets to be put in for certain prizes virtually. I believe I can send invoices via PayPal with your email address. I’ll have more on that soon. Have an amazing evening and upcoming week!

Mr Panda ♥️

This is a post about some recent animal cases that required extensive veterinarian care and with that comes extensive veterinarian fees for their care. Here are two puppies that came in on different occasions, both suffering from extensive trauma. I don’t want to show the graphic ones but if I could, and you could see the things we face any given day… it would haunt you as it does us. It would fuel your desire to help more and see how much care it takes to get these sweet souls ready for adoption. One is Oliver. Oliver was thrown from a moving vehicle and almost did not make it. He has had extensive care with wonderful caretakers and with constant veterinarian care and guidance has recovered. Milo suffered broken bones and is still in casts to heal fully. Our vet bills are high and we are asking for donations to help recoup some of the costs on these two, so we can help the next two that will inevitably come in. I was recently asked at an unrelated animal situation, why I didn’t cry. It’s simple. You have to get in the frame of mind to help the animal. As in any traumatic experience, you have to remain calm, access the situation and act accordingly. Then your save your tears for when you’re home in bed at night and pray for strength to go on another day to try and help another one. We can’t do that without help financially. I really hate to ask, but we have no choice. We also have a poor little hound that had 14 pins put in his knee from a severe break at intake that accumulated an outrageous amount of vet bills. He now has to have them removed to live a happy life. His name is Panda. If you can, please donate here or on our website. You can also mail any amount to The Panda, Milo and Oliver fund at: Forest County Humane Society PO BOX 57 Crandon, WI 54520 As always, God bless you and thank you for your continued support of the Forest County Humane Society.

For the Love of Animals

The Forest County Humane Society is a rural animal rescue and no-kill shelter serving a large county in northern Wisconsin. We rescue and shelter cats and all breeds of dogs. Because of our location, we see many large dog breeds that can be difficult to find homes for due to breed discrimination. Large pit-bull type dogs, shepherds, and hounds are very common. More than one-half of the dogs we see are positive for Lyme’s disease and many have ear and/or skin infections and a variety of injuries. The number one expense is the cost of medical care for our animals and we frequently deplete our budget throughout the year. It is only through ongoing donations that we are able to continue to provide the medical treatment and other care our animals desperately need. Please consider being an ongoing supporter of our mission!
