CENTRAL WISCONSIN
FERAL FRIENDS
 Clark County Humane Society is very proud to announce a new life-saving program! Clark County Humane
Society has a new initiative to create a healthier environment for Central Wisconsin's feral cats. Feral
cats are cats that are most likely never going to be house pets. They just don’t like to be handled
or to hang out with people. However, they are still fantastic cats in their own right, and need a chance
to live out their lives in an environment where they are comfortable and happy. Central Wisconsin Feral
Friends is a new program sponsored by Clark County Humane Society to achieve exactly that! CCHS is seeking
locations (primarily rural property owners) that are willing to provide just three things for these feral cats:
SHELTER, FOOD and WATER. CCHS will ensure that these cats are spayed/neutered, blood-tested,
vaccinated for Distemper, Rabies and Feline Leukemia, treated for fleas and dewormed. There is no fee to adopt.
It is that simple to have a (free!) healthy barn cat, and to save a life in the process. Please visit http://cwferalfriends.wordpress.com/ to learn more about the program and its benefits to everyone! Spread the word! If you can help, sign up
to shelter feral cats. If you'd like to participate by donating funds (not cats!), get in touch with the contacts below.
Together, we can make our world a healthier and happier place! Central Wisconsin Feral

all the activity live from Kitty City! You can watch from the comfort of your own home or office, although we don't
condone watching on company time. :-) You'll be entertained by the antics of all of the characters
living in Kitty City. Special thanks to Northside Computers for
donating the computer system to make it all happen. We're
so excited to be able to share more of what Kitty City is all about. It's a one of a kind place,
and the cats and kittens just love it. Many people never have the chance to visit CCHS. Now you can see it all right here! Just click on the picture above and it will take you to the

| 'Charity' shows how much she loves her Kuranda bed! |
Our dogs love Kuranda beds! They are so comfortable, and they help our dogs to be healthier, happier,
and more relaxed. They also help to make our cleaning easier. We'd love for each of our dogs to have a Kuranda
bed, but we just don't have enough. Would you like to help our dogs? Kuranda has a wonderful program that
lets anybody donate a Kuranda bed to us. By clicking on their logo below, you'll be taken to their website where
you can order a Kuranda bed through their special Shelter program. Prices are discounted by 28%, and they'll ship
the bed directly to us. It's a wonderful way to help our dogs enjoy their stay at our Shelter. Our dogs say
Thank You!!
STRAY DOG INITIATIVE AT CCHS
Many dogs come in to CCHS as strays, having wandered off and lost their way home. Unfortunately,
only a few are returned back to their owners each month. At CCHS, we really want to have more happy reunions!
To that end, we are working with some new ideas to help owners find their lost pets! We
have started posting pictures of any lost pets that come to CCHS on our Facebook page. You can just click here to go to www.facebook.com/petshelter to see pictures of the most recent strays. We will be posting these pictures within 24 hours of the dogs' arrival
at CCHS. There is also a photo album of all the stray dogs that have come to CCHS since April, 2011. That can be seen
by clicking here.
We are also working with WCCN/Central Wisconsin Broadcasting to share information
about lost pets. They air "Pet Patrol" each weekday at 11:30 a.m. on station 1370 AM with information about
lost pets. They are also showing the photos of the stray dogs on their website and have added a link back to us on their
site. We truly appreciate their help! Please contact CCHS right away if you've
lost a pet. Even if it hasn't come to CCHS yet, having your information on file will enable us to get your pet back
to you more quickly if it should come to the Shelter. You may call the Shelter, email us, or post information on our
Facebook page. We hope to return many more lost pets back to their owners!
Or Cheaper by the Dozen....
Anyway you put it, we all know that two kitties are better than one! CCHS is happy to announce the return of our "2
for 1" Cat Sale! If you are looking to adopt two cats or kittens, the adoption fee is waived on the second cat.
Plus, if not already altered, you'll be able to have the second cat spayed or neutered through our Fixapet program at
no cost to you. It's an amazing deal! The two cats or kittens are required to live in the same home, and the
reduced adoption fees are non-refundable. Please stop in at CCHS to meet all of our cats and kittens. There's
never been a better time to add some new furry friends to your life!!
  CCHS is on Facebook! Follow us by clicking on the Facebook logo above! Our
Facebook Fan Page is now even more exciting, as we've just added our adoptable pets. It's also where we feature
our Happy Homes Photos, and there are lots of updates posted from our adopters and fans too. Our Facebook fan page is
at www.facebook.com/petshelter. Be sure to sign up as a fan and then check back often to see what's been happening at CCHS! BK is proud to announce that he now has his own Facebook page as well.
He'd love to invite everybody to be his new friend. Just click on his picture to the right to visit his Facebook
page or go to www.facebook.com/KittyInCharge. He'll be happy to share all kinds of pictures, news, and interesting tidbits. There's always lots of
BK wisdom to share, too. Don't miss it!
Charitable Money Market Account
Forward Financial Bank offers an opportunity to give back to your community through
a Charitable Money Market Account (CMMA). You can open a CMMA
at Forward Financial Bank and specify CCHS as your charitable organization. At the end of the year, the bank will donate
.25 percent of your average balance to us. This donation comes from Forward Financial Bank, so it doesn't come out
of your pocket at all. This money will go directly to helping animals in need right here at CCHS. We thank those Forward Financial Bank customers who have already selected
CCHS as their preferred charity of their CMMA. And we certainly thank Forward Financial Bank for offering this wonderful
program. We hope others will consider using this program to support CCHS.

FAVORITE COMMERCIALS!
We really enjoy some of the pet commercials we watch on TV, and we'd like to share two of them with you!
Pedigree has a wonderful ad about their Shelter program which features many actual Shelter dogs. We commend them for
supporting the work of Shelters everywhere. And in case you were wondering, all of the dogs shown in the ad have been
adopted to new homes! PetSmart has a wonderful ad featuring "BoBo", one of our favorite toys. You can't help but
smile watching that one!
To view the ads, you must have Realplayer installed on your computer.
Then just click on the picture below, and enjoy!

ASPCA Ad featuring Sarah McLachlan
We absolutely love this ad. It is very powerful and almost brings us to tears each time we view it. The pets in the ad
are real and so are their injuries. We want you all to know that the ad is produced by the ASPCA (the organization that brings
us Animal Cops). We feel that they are a wonderful organization, worthy of your support. But, we also want you to know that
the Clark County Humane Society deals with the very same sad cases. We have also experienced the tragic things that can happen
to animals.
Our canine and feline residents here at the Shelter often include those with amputations, eyes missing, broken legs and
spirits, etc. Some of the injuries are from accidents and others are caused by uncaring "humans". Whatever the cause, it's
not the animals fault and we have always done our very best to help them in any way we can.
We ask that when you view this ad, you look at the animals eyes, think about the pain they must have been in to endure
the injury and afflictions they have. Then think about how right here at the Clark County Humane Society you can help. Help
us to care for those who need us most, the ones with no home, no family, no one to help them. That's what we do here. We take
sad stories with likely tragic endings and turn them into happy futures with new loving families.
Come over to tour our Shelter during open hours and we'll be glad to show you the work being done here. You may be
so moved that you wish to join the team of kind and caring volunteers. So, please, by all means, send a contribution
to the ASPCA, but also remember the Clark County Humane Society right here in central Wisconsin too.
Please remember to use your Kwik Card at any Kwik Trip location to make purchases, especially your gasoline.
You'll earn a Kwik Card rebate of 3 cents per gallon of gas and 3% of your in-store purchases.You can then request
that your rebate be donated to our organization. In addition, Kwik Trip will donate another 1% of your in-store credit
purchases. You can designate your rebate to go to CCHS by calling 1-800-305-6666 if you currently have a Kwik Card.
Our Organization Number is 150283. If you do not have a Kwik Card yet, please go to www.kwiktrip.com to apply for one.This is an excellent way to help us raise money
for the pets here and it doesn't cost you a penny. Thank you for your help!!!!!
Do you spend time on the Web searching for information? Now you can help CCHS while you're doing it! We've
partnered with "GoodSearch" as a great new fundraiser to support our work with the animals!
This is a new and easy way to raise money for CCHS just by searching the Internet with GoodSearch.com. It's
simple. You use GoodSearch.com like any other search engine — the site is powered by Yahoo! — but each time you
do, money is generated for CCHS. Each search will raise $0.01 for our cause. That may not seem like much, but
if we have 100 supporters searching the web two times a day using GoodSearch, it will raise $730 for CCHS. And that's
a lot of money to us!!
Last year, search engines generated close to $6 billion in revenue from advertisers. With GoodSearch part of this advertising
revenue will now be directed to our work. We hope that not only will you use GoodSearch as your main search engine from
here on out, but will also pass this message on to your friends and family. The more people who use this, the more money will
go to help us.
Just click on the GoodSearch link above or below, and give it a try! You can even add it to your toolbar as your
preferred Search Engine. Instructions can be found on the GoodSearch website. Be sure to specify Clark County
Humane Society as your charity of choice. We think this is a great new way to raise money to help our cats and dogs.
Please try it out, and let us know what you think!!
OUR MASCOT
This is BK, the mascot for CCHS! BK has been a wonderful addition to our staff, and everyone who meets him falls
in love with him. This is one of our favorite pictures, showing BK wearing his favorite Hawaiian shirt. BK has
taken over as "King" of CCHS, and he is a wonderful representative for the work that we do. Soon after BK was abandoned
at our door, we realized that he had a life-threatening medical problem. Through the generosity of our many supporters,
we were able to help BK through his surgery. He is now doing a great job greeting everyone that comes to visit
the Shelter. Please click on his picture to read more details about BK's success story!
