Animal Rescue Coalition of Hawaii
mission Statement:
our mission is to promote the welfare of dogs and cats on the Island of Hawaii, and eliminate all
necessary euthanization through innovative spay and neuter incentives, adoption support, and
public education.
Background Information:
Animal Rescue Coalition of Hawaii (ARCH) was formed specifically to assist our Hawaii Island
Humane Society and the pets and people of Hawaii. We have a huge pet overpopulation
problem that is caused by a myriad of reasons:
1. Most pets are not spayed or neutered.
2. People do not realize the seriousness of the situation. Vast numbers of pets, both pure bred
and mixed breeds, are unwanted on our island. Approx. 15- 16,000 pets per year end up in
animal shelters.
it3. Pet owners frequently misunderstand and lack knowledge of proper pet responsibilities and
care.
4. Many pet owners do not understand animal behavior and how to control it.
Often, pets are simply lost, and due to the lack of space and huge numbers of unwanted pets
arriving at the shelters on a daily basis, the pets are not at the shelter long enough for their
owners to find thein.
Additionally, the lack of proper description of pets (both from owners and shelters), distant
shelter locations and inconvenient shelter operating hours contribute to the difficulties of
reuniting pets with their owners.
ARCH has proposed programs to assist our Humane Society and the public to overcome these
obstacles, and with hope, will receive a grant to be able to make a serious and successful effort to
turn our island into a "No -Dill" island.
Animal Rescue Coalition of Hawaii is a 501 (c) 3 non-profit organization
Our Programs—an Overview:
Web Site: www.arehawaii.org
Our web site provides a source for the shelter pets and other pets needing homes to be
viewed by the public on line. It provides a source for people to check when pets have
[ been either lost or found. This web site helps people find homes for their pets on their
own first, rather than taking pets to the shelters as a first choice. It is a source for people
to check island wide for their lost pets. If a photo can be posted in locations around the
Island and on the web, then there are higher chances of people finding their pet.
Volunteers print copies of the web site and post it in various locations around the Island,
thus helping those who do not have computer access. Volunteers maintain the web site.
Spay/Neuter with Monetary Incentive:
The people of Hawaii, through donations and tax dollars, are paying to house and care for
16,000 animals a year in their shelters. We have designed a program that will eventually
' use this same money to spay/neuter and find homes for pets rather than feed and then kill
the majority of them.
ARCH is proposing to initiate a program where pet owners can spay or neuter their pets
for free plus receive a monetary reward for doing so. Feral cats will be included once
proper controls are established to ensure the safety of good Samaritans. Safety measures
are built into the program to insure honesty.
W This program pays both the veterinarians to perform spay/neuter procedures and the
public to have their pets spayed/neutered. A monetary incentive is offered to the public
to increase the number of people who wish to spay/neuter their pets. In a way, we are
employing the general population on the Island to have their pets spayed or neutered.
After all, it is a public problem; and who better to solve this problem than the public
themselves. Initiating control of pet breeding now, offers exponential rewards in animal
populations in years to come. Theoretically, freeing up capital for the more positive
forms of animal control. We do not believe that the financial burden of the pet
overpopulation should be placed on the veterinarians. They spend many years, time and
money in school to learn their skills. We want to respect their efforts and offer a program
that will reasonably pay for their service and, at the same time, will be reasonably
affordable to accomplish our goal. We want to work hand in hand with the veterinarians,
the public, the Humane Society, and all animal welfare groups toward a goal of creating
an environment of justice for all life.
Lost and Found Program:
Pets can be reunited with their owners through our web site. Additionally, a tattoo
program has been designed to work in tandem with the spay/neuter program providing
permanent identification for pets. (See program details below.)

"Poi log Kai" Educational Program
This educational program is named after a shelter dog, Ka'i, that became a licensed
therapy dog with her owner. This program teaches pet care, responsibilities, dog training,
animal behavior, and animal assisted activities and therapy. "Poi Dog" is the Hawaiian
name for a mixed breed dog.
[ "POI DOG" is an acronym for "Pound Outreach Incentive, Dogs Out for Good." The
hope is that these dogs are not only providing a good service but are out of the pound for
I good. "Ka'i" means leader. We hope this program will be a leader in its field,
encouraging and inspiring others to use this program or to create similar programs. Ka'i
became a licensed animal assisted therapy dog. There are many dogs like her that have
the potential to become, not only good pets, but great therapy dogs. We want to bring
this awareness to the community.
There are many reasons pets end up at the shelters. Often, the reasons are that people do
not understand the behavior of their pets nor the responsibilities that come with owning
them; and they become overwhelmed. Teaching pet owners basic dog obedience
commands and problem solving techniques will help to make dogs more desirable
companions. Learning the behavioral characteristics of particular animals helps people to
understand why their pets behave the way they do.
Like Ka'i, many animals have the potential to be therapy animals. We expose students to
animal assisted activities and animal assisted therapy to bring awareness of this very
rewarding, experience. Students learn the differences between wildlife and domestic
animal behavior and what is required for their care.

Foster Care Program
The purpose of the Foster Care Program is to extend the lives of healthy, adoptable dogs
or cats that have been at the shelter for their allotted time and would otherwise be
euthanized for lack of a home.
Animal Rescue Coalition of Hawaii agrees to provide loving care and to take full
responsibility for the pet while in their care. This responsibility includes providing any
necessary medical care for the pet, having the pet spayed or neutered (paid for by the
Humane Society, and advertising to find a home.
tj
Hawaii Island Humane Society agrees to provide the usual vaccinations and the initial
heartworm screening. They will also process the adoptions. Animal Rescue Coalition
will assist in finding the homes. All new owners must be screened and approved by the
Hawaii Island Humane Society.
A.R.C.H. and H.I.H.S. will not be held responsible for any injuries incurred by any
animal being fostered. Each foster parent must sign a consent form.
Our Spay/Neuter Program ®a The Details:
The purpose of this program is to motivate that portion of the public that has not been
reached by traditional methods and who continue to allow their animals to over produce
contributing to the 16,000 animals that end up in Hawaii Island shelters annually. We
need to bring the awareness of this problem out into full view and motivate people to
make spaying and neutering of their pets a priority. Through our program, a pet owner
can have his pets spayed or neutered for free, plus receive a $20.00 reward for doing so.
Veterinarians will receive $80 per animal (male or female). Motivation through
monetary rewards has proven to be one of the most successful means of gaining public
participation. We believe this program will motivate a very substantial portion of the
population. We realize, however, that there will be a small (hopefully, very small)
portion that will not participate.
The chart on page 8 represents dog and cat population growth based on only two (2) cats
and two (2) dogs. The cats can reproduce at the rate of four (4) kittens per litter and have
two (2) litters per year. The dogs can reproduce at the rate of four (4) pups per litter and
average one (1) litter per year. The cost figures are based on the variable cost of $40 per
animal for Hawaii Island Humane Society to house a stray animal.
Shelter Cost = (total # of animals x 5%) x $40
The formula assumes that five percent (5%) of all animals will become strays and thus,
end up at our shelters. Using these figures, at the end of five (5) years, our program
could save the Humane Society $13,321 per one breeding pair of cats and one breeding
pair of dogs. For the same two breeding pairs, a savings of $7,891,072 could be realized
over a nine year period. Further assuming that we will spay or neuter far more than two
animals under this program, the potential savings to the Humane Society will be
incredible freeing up capital, shelter space, and reducing manpower requirements.
Over an initial five-year period, we feel the numbers of animals entering shelters should
be drastically reduced. At that point, there will be a better chance of adoption for the
animals that do end up in our shelters; because of increased space and the ability to
extend their stays. The increased shelter time will allow for more advertising flexibility,
including the possibility of advertising in newspapers, and on television and radio to find
homes for these pets. There will also be increased exposure time on the web site.
4
Because the numbers will be down, the animal shelters can redirect employees from general care
1 of homeless pets to addressing other issues in areas such as cruelty and education. The budget for
` the Humane Society can be rearranged after this S year period to continue a free spay/neuter
program and implement other programs to discourage reproduction either through fines or
I encourage control by continuing a reward system. Our goal is to help get the population down so
the Humane Society can continue to run in a more positive manner, saving more lives, educating
the public and bringing pets back into society as a positive influence.
We do not wish to take over the responsibilities of the Humane Society, only to help get this
overwhelming number of unwanted animals under control so that the Humane Society can
continue their work in a much more positive environment.
Procedure for participation in the spay/neuter program:
The pet owner brings their pet to vet. Liability release forms are signed (protecting ARCH,
veterinarians and Hawaii Island Humane Society). The owner is given a voucher to -fill out. The
vet checks to be sure the pet is not listed as a stolen pet by looking for a microchip and checking
the stolen pet web site. The vet further checks to see if the animal has been previously spayed or
neutered. The vet perforins the surgery and tattoos the pet with his/her assigned alpha code. A
follow-up visit is scheduled for two weeks at which time the surgical site is briefly checked and
the owner is given the voucher. The voucher will have the following information:
' Patient name and classification (canine or feline)
Breed
I Color and any special markings
Sex
Owner information
I Name
Address
Phone numbers --- work and home
Mailing address
Veterinarian information
Name
IAddress
Phone number
Tattoo ID #
' Micro -chip IID# if applicable
The owner and veterinarian sign the voucher. The vet mails the top copy of the voucher to
ARCH and keeps the third copy. The second copy goes to the owner. Upon receipt of the
original voucher, ARCH mails a check to both the Vet and the owner. If there are any
unexpected costs incurred due to the surgery, the owner will pay for the costs. This is clearly
stated in the liability voucher. Any pet owner can participate. Initially, we will refer all feral cats
5
to the Hawaii Island Humane Society who in turn may spay/neuter for trap/release
through our program. They can use the $20 reward to motivate assistance in trapping
should they decide to do so.
Reimbursement costs per pet as follows:
Veterinarian Pet Owner
1 St year: $ 80 $ 20
2nd year: $ 80 $ 20
3rd year: $ 80 $ 15
4`h year: $ 80 $ 15
5t' year: $ 80 $ 10
After the fifth year, the Humane Society will offer free spay/neuter with a $5.00 reward
to owners. The Humane Society will pay the veterinarian and their staff a fee covering.
expenses for the surgery. This fee will be negotiated independently between the Hawaii
Island Humane Society and the participating veterinarians.
Protective Identification Benefits of the Spay/Neuter Program:
Tattoo: The purpose of the tattoo is for easy identification of an animal. In addition, a
tattoo can identify a female animal that has been previously spayed.
How it will work: Each veterinarian on the Island will be given an alpha code (i.e., "A"
for Veterinary Associates, "B" for Kamuela Veterinary, etc.) If a pet is lost and has been
tattooed through this program, the owner will call the Humane Society and the
Veterinarian to advise of the lost pet. With this identification program, any citizen or the
Humane Society can help to find the pet's owner by simply rolling the pet over on its
back and checking for a tattoo. The tattoo will identify the code for the veterinarian
where the animal was tattooed. The finder can then notify the vet, and thus the animal
can be reunited with its owner. This identification procedure will decrease the number of
pets taken to the shelters. In many cases, lost pets can be returned directly to their
owners.
Often, it is difficult to tell if a female pet has been spayed. A tattoo will indicate that
surgery has been performed. There is also hope that a veterinarian may be able to
identify a pet and provide the medical history for new owners should the previous owners
not choose to reclaim their pet.
Addressing the concern of theft of pets for the purpose of collecting the $20 incentive:
2
1. Spayed/neutered tattooed pets can be immediately identified by vets as stolen.
2. Microchip testing is done prior to each surgery.
3.A two-week period is allowed for missing or possibly stolen pets to be entered onto the web-
site. Prior to surgery and before giving the voucher to the client, the web is checked for these
i pets. With this procedure, stolen animals will likely be reunited with their owners.
The Future:
ARCH is presently setting -up the programs outlined above. These programs will be instituted
and overseen by ARCH. The long-term goal is that each program will be self sustaining or able
to operate with existing funding within 5 years. Poi Dog Kai is presently a self-sustaining entity.
its budget is funded through fees charged for training programs. The Lost and Found and Web
Site programs are both volunteer run programs. There have been discussions with local schools
concerning involving computer classes in the areas of data entry, public relations and posting of
lost and found information. We believe that the economics of these two programs are both
sustainable and controllable. Our biggest economic outlay will be in the Spay/Neuter program.
Our preliminary figures show that the long-term economic savings far outweigh the immediate
costs. The goal is to reverse the spending cycle and take the money the Humane Society
presently spends to house and euthaniae pets and use it for adoption, education, and bringing pets
back into society as a positive influence.

launch a series of combative programs aimed

idea to the Hawaii Island Humane
Society after relocating to the island
two years ago.
"It's a real win-win situation,"
Walker said. "I do believe if we can
receive enough money we can suc-
ceed. By five years, every adoptable
pet that enters our Humane Society
will not be put to sleep."
Walker said ARCH will begin
with a free spay and neutering pro-
gram, also offering a $20 reward per
pet brought in for the procedure. She
noted this will help curb population
growth, and as the number of ani-
mals brought to the shelter decreas-
es, more room will become available
to house animals until they are
adopted.
"We, the people of Hawaii, are
already spending this to feed or kill
our animals and now we are just
going to reallocate the funds and
spend it on a more positive pro-
gram," she said.
Although ARCH hopes to end
euthanization, she said, the group is
realistic and noted it still may be
necessary for animals that are
vicious or ill.
A similar program was initiated in
1993 on Oahu, with a volunteer
Trap -Neuter -Release -Manage
(TNRM) coalition working with the
Humane Society to sterilize feral
cats.
Eve Holt, Humane Socie
for of community relations, said it is
difficult to determine accurately
how well the program is working,
but the staff has noticed a dramatic
decline of stray cats being brought in
to the shelter during the last seven
months.
Holt said the TNRM cat colony
caretakers, who feed the animals to
gain trust in order to bring them for
spay or neutering, have reported a
decrease since the program was
started, with reports ranging from
the Chaminade University popula-
tion dwindling from 150 to 50 cats.
They also have reported no kittens
were born during the last few years,
she added.
"We'd really love to be able to say
that we're reaching the point that we
have so many sterile cats that it's
making that big of an impact," Holt
said. "We're hopeful that this spring
will be really indicative of what's
going on."
Walker said while ARCH waits
for funding, members will concen-
trate on current programs.
In August, ARCH launched its
Web site, which features animals
available for adoption, along with
postings for lost and found animals.
"We have placed quite a few this
way," said Jim Hustace, ARCH
president and past president of the
Hawaii Humane Society on Oahu.

said copies of the Web
pages are displayed at public
libraries and shopping areas for
those without Internet access.
Walker said ARCH also has start-
ed a foster care program, where fam-
ilies take an animal from the shelter
and care for it until it is adopted. She
noted they currently have two foster
homes for dogs and three homes for
cats, and are seeking more volunteer
foster families.
The organization's most success-
ful program thus far, Walker said,
was the educational component
which it initiated last summer.
"We taught the children that pets
come with a lot of responsibilities,"
Walker said of Poi Dog Kai two-
week course, offered to youngsters
ages 7 to 11. "We started the pilot
program at Waikoloa School and
discussed animal behavior, why ani-
mals end up at the Humane Society,
animal assisted therapy, and pet
responsibility and care. They also
helped find a home for one of the
dogs from the shelter."
ARCH, recently awarded a Red
Cross "Everyday Hero Award" for
its Poi Dog Kai work, plans to
increase educational programming,
she said.

I am writing to express my strong support for your favorable consideration of the
grant application submitted to your organization by the Animal Rescue Coalition
of Hawa'I (ARC-Hawai'i).
I have listened carefully to the program outlined by ARC-Hawai'i founder Mary
Walker and Lisa Wood, ®VM, Vice President of ft Hawal'i Veterinary Medicine
Association. Their initiative to greatly expand opportunities for the people of
Hawaii County to spay/neuter their pets will provide an immeasurable benefit to
the standard of animal welfare on our island. In reality, this comprehensive
proposal is the first real hope of making a headway into the problem of animal
welfare and care on our island.
In recent years, our County has dramatically increased funding to support our
animal control contract. Our County Council has undertaken a concerted
evaluation of our animal control program by our Legislative Auditor's Office and,
more recently, the National Animal Control Association. I am confident that our
County government will continue to support programs that address this issue.
To succeed in meeting the challenge of pet overpopulation, we must forge
proactive partnerships with organizations such as the Maddle's fund. Severe
budget restraints in the current fiscal year limits our financial contributions at this
time and emphasizes the importance of seeking resources to assist in
addressing this problem. Your resources and goal directed programs are so

needed here and especially sought because of a shared goal of a humane
standard of a 'no kill' jurisdiction.
Last year, ARC -Hawaii won acknowledgement by the Iced cross with its
Everyday Aero Award, Animal Friends category. Their strong board of directors
and working coalition with the Hawal'I Island Humane Society and animal
hospital veterinarians throughout our Island holds great promise for an effective,
multi-year spay/neuter campaign.
Thank you for your consideration of this application and please be assured of our
total commitment to work with the Animal Rescue Coaliilon of Hawaii (ARC-

Dear Mr. Avanzino:
This is written in support of the grant application being submitted to your organization by the
Animal Rescue Coalition of Hawaii. This group is based in the County of Hawaii, and
provides animal welfare services to the people of that county, It is providing a much needed
service that Government alone cannot provide and trust be done in partnership with the private
sector.
The State of Hawaii is unique because it is composed of separate islands. The largest island,
and a separate county, is Hawaii, with an area of over 4,000 square miles. Much of Ijawaii
County is rural and undeveloped, and with our tropical climate, is an ideal breeding ground for
dogs and. cats. The population of Hawaii County is 140,000, but its dog and cat population
equals that of a city of a million residents.
The prograrn proposed by the Animal Rescue Coalition of Hawaii will provide opportunities
for the people of Hawaii County to spay or neuter their pets, and will help, bring the pet
population explosion under. control. The program is a crucial part of'a successful anbrial
control effort, and I strongly support it.
Thank you for your consideration of the grant application by the Animal Resale Coalition of
Hawaii. Your support of its program would be greatly appreciated.
With warmest personal regards,
Aloha,

To Whom It May Concern,
It is my great honor to write on behalf of an exceptional organization
altruistically created for the benefit of our precious animals anal people of the dig
Island of Hawaii. It was one year ago when Mary Walker approached me about
the P.O.I. D.O.G. Kai .Project and the possibility of of ferirag a condensed version
as an elective at the middle School level here at Hawaii Preparatory Academy
(H'PA). Unfortunately, we have been unable to incorporate this well thought out,
well designed class as of yet. However, we look forward to a time when that
offering might become a reality.
Until then, the people and animals directly affected by their participation with
this organization are seemingly in for a remarkable experience. The benefits of
animal -assisted activities and therapy are increasingly understood and valued
by communities across the nation. It is clear, through all of the available
literature, that this program has an enormous adaptability factor that increases
its outreach possibilities. Facets of the comprehensive program have been re-
designed to reach and touch the lives of its recipients at a variety of
developmentally appropriate levels and in a variety of truly beneficial
circumstances. It is remarkable how its founders have successfully researched
populations and worked to find a "fit" wherever the need has arisen.
In closing, I commend all of the founders and staff members, past, present, and
ficture, associated with this fine program and hope that the students of IIPA will
one day benefit from their association with it. Until gait tiara, knowing that
others in the community will be able to is sufficient enough.
Sincerely,
Hope L. Soo

areAnd Responsi�i ' 't'es �c�i�catio
Learn compassion, care and understanding for pets and people through
education on animal behavior, dog training, pet care and
responsibilities and animal assisted activities.
Through knowledge and understanding of animal behavior, students
learn why dogs behave the way they do and how to solve the
behavioral problems that cause them to no longer be wanted by their
families and end up at shelters. They also learn how to appreciate and
have fun with a pet and share that fun with others by learning how to
teach dogs tricks.
Kindness, patience, consistency, understanding praise, and reward,
along with proper correction, are imperative to successfully training a
dog. People also need this balance.
Animal assisted activities requires reaching out to others and hones in
on social skills. The joy received not only inspires compassion for
others but gives confidence to students and encourages towards positive
relationships with others in the community.
Exposure to children less fortunate in institutions allows students to
think of their own blessings of good health, a home and caring
individuals in their lives.
Through teaching animal behavior/ understanding and knowledge of
dogs, dog training, and animal assisted therapy, and the unfortunate
and unnecessary reasons pets are unwanted and end up at shelters, the
positive results of respect and empathy for life are brought to their
attention and reality through their own actions.

Brief overview of POI DOG KAI program
A project teaching children in our community responsible pet ownership care and animal behavior
skills. Compassion, care and understanding for all are the goals.
Our organizations goal is to assist our Humane Society in overcoming the pet overpopulation
problem. The numbers of animals entering our shelters annually and being euthanised is
staggering, sad and unnecessary. Education, along with spaying and neutering are the tools we
need to address this problem.
We designed an educational program for our school children that would teach responsible pet care
along with the added aspect of education in the field of animal assisted activities and animal
assisted therapy. This program teaches not only responsibility but how to give of one's self to
others.
The summer school program will begin to establish youth education of the human/animal bond. It
is designed as an introductory course. After the course, the students are encouraged to attend
obedience classes with their own pets, become visiting "Pet Partners" with their pets through a
carefully designed program by Delta Society, and assist our Humane Society as volunteers
whenever possible.

SUMMER SCHOOL PILOT PROGRAM offered by Animal Rescue Coalition of Hawaii
(A.R.C.H.)
This class is offered as an introductory class to the field of the human/ animal bond through the
teaching of responsible pet care and animal assisted activities (AAA) and animal assisted therapy
(AAT).
Two week mini course M W F 10:00 - 2:00 pm Students bring their own lunch
Students from Waikoloa will be transported to class via YMCA van
Course objective: To bring awareness of pet overpopulation and how to prevent it. Course
designed to teach animal behavior, proper animal care and responsibilities, benefits of
human/animal bond with animal assisted activities and therapy, and how to train a dog simple
obedience commands
Class will go on field trip to Hawaii Island Humane Society. Instructor will adopt a dog to use as
a demonstration on how to train and properly care for a dog. Class will observe temperament
testing and learn about breed temperament characteristics. Class will also learn about Humane
Society, it's functions, pet overpopulation and the causes of along with ways to prevent the
problem.
Each class meeting, the instructor will demonstrate teaching a dog the different obedience
commands of come, sit, down and stay. Students will be learning the importance of patience,
understanding and praise in training a dog. Students will be involved in finding a "good" home
for the dog. They will be taught what constitutes a "good" , responsible home.
A field trip to the Wildlife Sanctuary in Kona will demonstrate the differences between wildlife
and domestic animal life. Students will learn about endangered species on our Island and how to
preserve our Island and wildlife.
Different domestic animal behavior will be taught for farm animals using animals that are used in
therapy. The students will each be assigned an animal to research. Proper care of each animal
will be taught.
After students have learned about the animals, the animals will be transported to Honokaa
Hospital for animal assisted activities and animal assisted therapy. Each student will participate
in sharing animals with the patients at the hospital. This is similar to a "farm on the moove"
program at Green Chimneys in New York where students. bring the farm animals into residential
treatment centers and schools to share the benefits of AAA and AAT and their knowledge of
animals. Children are taught how to nurture and care for not only animals but other people.
Following the course, a Delta Society representative will be instructing a Pet Partners class. This
is a two day course offered to the public teaching a program on Animal Assisted Activities and
Animal Assisted Therapy. People taking the course can then take exams with their pets to apply
for a Delta Society License for visiting facilities needing animals for therapy or activities. Pet
Partner teams passing the exams become licensed and insured for visiting with their pets in public
and private facilities. Students wishing to pursue AAA/AAT with their own pets may take this
course to become Pet Partners on their own using their own personal pets.

ANIMAL -ASSISTED THERAPY SERVICES
pound outreach incentive dogs out for good
BY ANN R. HowiE, ACSW, AAT SERVICES MANAGER
en many of us think of
Hawaii, we think of sunny
days, crystal waters, and
C
relaxation. For people
who live in Hawaii, however,
their lives and society include the
same kinds of ups and downs as the
rest of the world.
Mary Walker lives in Hawaii,
and she is a woman with a vision of how
to help the institutionalized people of Hawaii to benefit
from Animal -Assisted Activities/Therapy (AAA/1) and
the Human -Animal Bond. She is a woman of dreams,
and she is working to make those dreams come true.
Mary took Delta courses over a year ago and
became a licensed Pet Partners Instructor and Evaluator.
When asked why she wanted to work with the Pet
Partners program, she replied, "The Pet Partners program
teaches many, many good things. I applaud Delta for
putting together such a thorough, well-written program."
Mary started by working with an area hospital
and nursing home to provide AAA/T to their patients.
Mary now also helps volunteers become prepared to
make those AAA/T visits. You might say that Mary is
a one-person whirlwind of resources and energy!
Mary didn't stop with traditional AAA/T
visits; she continued to dream, and her vision
broadened. She gathered a group of volunteers from
her community and told them her ideas. They wrote
a proposal to a private school to engage 8th and 9th
graders in a constructive, affirmative project with
specific goals and benefits to their community.
Mary's vision involves young people taking dogs
from the local humane society, training the dogs in
obedience, going through the Pet Partners evaluation,
and then placing the resulting well-mannered pets into
local households. Mary summarized her idea by saying,
"I'm hoping it will tum out to be a positive program
helping pets and the community." (It is Delta's hope
that the lucky people who receive these wonderful
animals become Pet Partners!)
The name for this project has much meaning
to Mary and the people of Hawaii: POI DOG Kai.
POI DOG stands for Pound Outreach Incentive Dogs
Out for Good. In Hawaii, a mixed -breed dog is called
a "poi dog," and the first Pet Partner pound dog in
Hawaii was named Kai, which means "leader."
(Congratulations to Peggy Kamisato, Ka is partner!)
Mary's story is still in process. Though her
proposal has not yet been approved, she continues her
preparations, wanting to be ready when the school is.
She acknowledges that she and her fellow volunteers
have a lot of hard work ahead, but because they believe
so strongly in what they are doing, they say their work
is a lighter load to bear.
Mary concludes this chapter of her story by
saying, "For all you do and all at Delta, THANK
YOU! There are many pets and people here [Hawaii],
and all over the world, that wouldn't have nearly the
enriched life had it not been for all the efforts of you
all in recognizing and making known this great gift of
animal companionship God has given us!" Thank you,
Mary, for investing your time and energy and
resources into making your community a better place!

BY DEE DICKSON

Puppies, kittens, creatures galore have been the
subject of proverbs, fables, fiction, fact and fantasy
through the ages.
"The dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their
master's table," Matthew XV: 27 relates. A learned
sixteenth century writer Jonathan Swift extolled "Every
dog must have its day."
Literary cats know two olde English proverbs: "When
the cat's away, the mice will play" and "A cat may look
at a king." Shakespeare, in Richard III, Act V, Sc. 4, for
centuries has had actors crying "A horse! A horse, my
kingdom for a horse."
Smell kid time brought giggles for the mouse that ran
tip the dock, ihc itsv hitsv spider, Mary's little lamb and
the I)i� that (riCd "Whee. whee, whee, all thewayhome."
I�ut w1lo wc llm want to Inll wee ones with the following
true• ;incl 111odcrn tale?
c)nc(• 111)011 .1 time on an enchanted island named
Ila��ai'i, e�in ve111' a huge number of little animals—
lost, scared, strayed, abandoned, unwanted — are put
to sleep.
True, according to a Kohala woman who reports that
about eighty percent of the sixteen thousand Big Island
dogs and cats passing through three shelters here, are
put to death. Animals brought to shelters are cared for
for a minimum of three days, then due to lack of space
and funds, if not claimed before the (no pun intended)
deadline, are euthanized. But don't point any accusing
fingers — no individual, group or agency or keeper,
(unless it is we, the society) has let animal population
get out of control.
The previously cited statistics come from Mary Walker,
vice president.of the.one-year-old Animal Rescue Coali-

tion of Hawaii, which is working toward drastically
reducing — eventually eliminating — those grim fig-
ures. The non-profit organization's goal is to motivate
the public to assist Hawaii Island Humane Society with
the pet overpopulation problem by launching a three -
pronged program. ARCH plans on lending helping
hands with an innovative spay/neuter program, in-
crease adoption of pets, reunite lost pets with owners,
and educate regarding pet ownership responsibilities
and services. The program encompasses animals and
people, the young and the aged.
While ARCH was getting programs formulated with
its president)im Hustace of Waimea, Mrs. Walkerlearned
of a San Francisco Bay area foundation with two hun-
dred million dollars in funds dedicated to stopping the
killing of dogs and cats in the USA. Originally called
Duffield Family Foundation after its philanthropists

Dave and Cheryl Duffield,
the organization is known
as "Maddie's Fund." ARCH
has met the fund's initial
criteria for grant applica-
tion and is currently wait-
ing with high expectation
of acceptance.
In the meantime, ARCH
is not idle. It is aiding hu-
mans as well as animals,
bringing fun and joy to
quite a few local lives.The

mailing list of one hundred and fifty donor/volunteers,
has moved ahead by setting up an animal foster care
program with the Humane Society. The Society has
agreed to let ARCH remove animals to foster care while
search commences to find new pet homes. At present,
ARCH has two animal foster homes — more are needed.
The organization requires foster caregivers have a
fenced yard or kennel, promise to play with and groom
the animal, and provide loving care until a new, perma-
nent home is found. One of the first rescued dogs, Kaleo-
Kea, whose allotted time in shelter had expired, was
placed in a foster home. The malnourished dog, ribs
showing plainly, was restored to health and found a
home. ARCH volunteers not only provided care and a
new home, donation funds
paid for the animal's tem-
porary food, medical care
and advertising costs to
seek new owners.
At this point in an in-
terview, Mrs. Walker took
time out to feed a visiting
mini -colt and check a fluffy
feline in for retraining. The
cat, bereaved at its owner's
loss, was displaying omis-
sion of sandbox knowl-
edge, an embarrassment
that caused kitty to flunk
its first placement.
"There are many rea-
sons pets end up at the
shelters," Mrs. Walker af-
firmed. "Some of the rea-
sons are that people do
not understand the behav-
ior of their pets, and they
do not fully understand
responsibilities that come
with owning them.."
She told the story of

trainer, animal behavior advisor and veterinarian tech-
nician, and Kona's Ann Goody, the wildlife specialist at
the sanctuary. ARCH's materials explain: "For many
years the positive effects of bonding between human
beings and animals has been recognized. In addition to
providing companionship, various types of animal -as-
sisted therapy programs and educational programs have
been growing worldwide. . . Here in Hawai'i, many
shelter dogs that might be appropriate for such pro-
grams are put to sleep because of lack of homes. Young
people can learn many important life skills through
responsible care and training of animals."
When seven youngsters made the field trip to the
Kona Humane Society, Denise Schneyer, director of
volunteers, led the group on a tour of the facility before
they were to select a dog to rescue. "Red," a purebred
golden retriever, was chosen for fostering while he was
cured of a heartworm problem. Critter and kids together
then learned basic care and obedience commands such
as "sit," "wait," and, the kids' favorite, "give me five,"
the raised paw response delighting the new caregivers.
The tots agreed to retain "Red's" shelter name for
continuity and, while the pet was being cured, created
and distributed posters seeking a new home and loving
owners. A week after the posters went up, the James
Torres family of Kohala paid $60 for Red's care — and
he went home over the mountain to bond with Jim, wife
Jody and their two children. Because the caregiver group
was so concerned about Red's well-being, ARCH pro-
vided each child with a photo of the dog's new family,
all in a loving embrace, as well as ARCH's gratitude.
After inter -reactions on various field trips, the schools
conducted surveys of participants to gather student re-
actions. Immediately, Brian, seven, said he "learned not
to hurt animals," while Scott, eleven "and a half," got
specific with the order "never whack a dog on the head."
Mari, eleven, decided "taking care of a dog is a huge re-
sponsibility" while both William, eleven and Robby,nine,
warned about letting a dog put his head out of a car win-
dow."He could be hurt by flying objects, they cautioned.
Eleven -year-old Marissa confessed that she "didn't
know before that dogs get heartworm from mosquito
bites" while William, again, had the angle that "Our
helping dogs got them to trust us and be our compan-
ions. When dogs help us, that can prevent us from
getting heart attacks" (his opinion) "and help us feel
loved so both can rely on each other."
After the trek to the long-term rehabilitation facility,
October 2000 17
along with Mari-jo Allen's mini -horse, Tutie Brennan's
rabbit and Mary Walker's Schnauzer, more wisdom from
the babes' mouths was about to come. One seven-year-
old boy in the survey noted, "the patients just loved the
animals' visit, while Sarah, ten, appreciated "what
animals can do to help people who have problems" and
Annette, the trip's eldest participant at thirteen, said
she learned "how animals' therapy helps people in a lot
of pain."
Overall, the students agreed on "People Helping
Animals, Animals Helping People." Young Nicole, who
did not womanlike reveal her age, led into another part
of ARCH's project with the caution: "You should nuder
(sic) animals so they don't reproduce."
That brings back to the forefront ARCH's goal of
future funding for its positive solution for preventing
unwanted pets. ARCH plans to motivate the public by
providing all animal owners with free neutering, simul-
taneously giving it its own ID number (which will also
identify its own veterinarian for health history), and
with proof of compliance to the above, will be compen-
sated with a twenty dollar reward. The plan has built-
in safeguards to prevent the avaricious from "cashing
in" at the expense of a pet.
ARCH strongly believes in the program which will
also use various forms of contemporary communication
and veterinarian cooperation, to trace lost animals and
reunite them with owners, as well as the five year goal
to drastically reduce the beginning statistics that make
animals' friends shudder.
So what's in the future? Think what might happen
when piping little voices are heard to hum, "Where, oh
where, has my little dog gone? Where, oh where, can
he be?" And they will know that the answer on this
island will be to phone 987 -ARCH.
And if all the goals
are met, that's where
thatlittle dogverywell
might be.

Some of our best teachers can't
talk. Maybe that's why they're
such great teachers...
1 --laving been involved in out -of -home case most of my life (first as a consumer
and for almost fifty years as a provider) I consider myself quite knowledgeable
and opinionated on the subject. I believe that's all right —because how else
can one develop an individual or a personal philosophy; one's own method of
practice? It is incumbent on me, as a private agency executive, to recognize
the agency's ability to move swiftly to make changes, to foster the indepen-
dent status we enjoy and to be as creative as we can.
What arc the elements of the Green Chiraaneys program which seem to make a
difference? Are they things which may exist in other agencies? If they do not,
can they be replicated? Is there away to secure help to determine if they are
worthwhile? Perhaps the task of answering these questions will assist both the
Green Chimneys program and interested workers in the child welfare commu-
nity in understanding why our program operates as it does.

& , If care and concern for all living things is the a.gcncy mission, wbat have you learned about
ways to slake that happen?
A. Green Chimneys is dedicated to developing a harmonious relationship between people, animals.
nature and the environment through an array of education, recreation, vocational and mental health
services. We have a concern for all living things. We offer services year-round. including residential
treatment, group care, special education, school and summer camping, community-based living,
work with families and children through mentoring, a youth center and run -away and case
management services. We offer an array of services to adults with special needs including supervised
living and work opportunities. Green Chimneys' service to the general public has enabled the agency
to attract interestArl'its work and secure support for its operations.
It is obvious to us after all the years we have been working with people that unless you can help bring
about a personal connection, it is going to be difficult to develop a feeling of caring. The connection
children make with the animals, other children, the program and staff hopefully snakes them feet a
sense of ownership. As we have encouraged a wide population to use our Brewster campus, it is safe
to state that the community also feels this connection.
We have been very fortunate that the media has taken an interest in what we are doing. Our effort
has therefore been able to attract outside attention. People comment that they feel a sense of
community when they visit. They recognize that through our wildlife program, our children in
residence are able to express compassion and offer help to injured or abandoned wildlife and animals
and to offer assistance to those whose personal handicapping conditions might limit their active
participation were it not for the help our children are able to give.

Adult role models can be found throughout an agencv. They are not necessarily holding down a
professional position such as teacher, social worker or child care counselor but mav, in fact, be a
housekeeper, secre tarv, maintenance or kitchen worker. We have encouraged every staff member to
become a tutor for an individual child. This linkage becomes a means for the child to gain personal
help and enables all staff to get to know children better. A number of times per year every staff member
at the agency celebrates. Buddy Day with a child. The staff person and the child spend time together
doing a mutually satisf-ving activity. We also actively recruit volunteers to help provide one-to-one
contact for our children.
If. as we say. our agency provides care and concem for all living things, then we must fully understand
the elements of caring. which are commitment, attachment, responsibility and empathy. These
elements are not exclusively the province of staff but are elements which must be encouraged in the
children and adolescents. Work with families must be directed toward helping actualize the talents
of each family member which, in turn, impacts the child.
At Green Chimneys we see our staff as the greatest source of volunteers. Yes, staff give their own time
to carry forward a whole range of fund-raising events. Without this help the agency would not only
be unable to run these events but would lose a tremendous amount of money. The children work
alongside staff and learn about giving volunteer time. We welcome volunteers from the community
to further our effort.
Why do you think the emphasis on the human -animal bond is important and can make
adifference?
A. At Green Chimneys, children interact with plants and animals to learn and heal. It's something
which was built into the program from the very beginning. Very often children feel depressed.
withdrawn and unwanted. They need to feel a sense of connection. a personalbond with another living
thing. For many, a connection to an adult or peer is threatening. In many of these cases the animal
is a logical answer. The lessons learned from the animal become the stepping stone for a human
connection. Nurturing an animal and receiving back unconditional attention and love re-establishes
the worth of the child. It encourages the child to risk the human connection. It provides a realistic.
relevant, responsible activity. The child sees that the caring serves a need and that it has a related
purpose. It connects the child to others who believe in this human animal bond. It helps to establish
trust of the child by others. The goodness of the child is unleashed and the animals benefit.
Whereas facilities are important, it must be recognized that people make the difference. For years
Green Chimneys has emphasized the need for an atmosphere which may be likened to family. People
at Green Chimneys work hard to create a warm, friendly, caring atmosphere. They struggle to find
ways to support the work of the agency through their own personal commitment to friend raising and
fund raising. The integration of the children and staff in the Green Chimneys programs also makes
them feel responsible for our very existence. Having the community feel a part also makes them feel
responsible for our very eadstence. Our children are sociable and outgoing. This is not a quality one
e. We believe it is acquired by observing the adults who are
normally finds in the population we sery
their role models. This is a very positive attribute of our programs.
2. Is this approach something new?

The -: -,ified organic garden produces products which the children can eat and/or prepare for
inclu=,on in gift baskets which earn funds for the program. They can send flowers to various staff and
staff can send flowergrams throughout the agency. A campus in bloom, which children have been
making happen. adds to the good feeling. Families. too, enjoy and profit from the efforts, for they can
be given and sometimes purchase plants which they can carry home.
In developing our junior and senior life skills curriculum. we included a chapter on plant and pet care
since we believe this is so important to the life of our children. We operate two greenhouses year-round
and have three acres to till and maintain.
BV'hen all else fails, why do Animal Assisted Therapy/Animal Assisted Activities.
iior-ticultural Therapy, Therapeutic Riding and Adventure Education work?
A. Atypical day includes chores, special education classes and programmed activities. The
recreation and work assignments are all part of the healing process. A full treatment team ® social
workers, child care specialists, psychologists, health professionals and special education teachers
meets with the youngsters. Together they plan and carry out a program designed for each child where
the plant, animal. adventure and nature activities are integrated. The program is an active one which
engages children in a meaningful way.
In our off -campus residences, the young men have pets too. Their pets are those that are typically
found in any suburban or urban area. The young men at our residence in NY City enjoy mascots —
anirnals which belong to the community residence, and individual pets — a privilege of personal
ownership they earn.
..� What kind of an academic education do the youngsters get?
A. The children's schooling in the campus school is as rigorous or more than their peers who attend
community schools. Classes are held 223 days per year with the same faculty participating. Green
Chimneys School is supervised by the New York State Education Department. It qualifies as a special
education program through the academic years. All teachers are certified; the curriculum is
mandated under special education laws. Green Chimneys' special farm and wildlife curriculum
incorporates animals, plants and the outdoors to teach concepts and skills.
If others do the same. they will find state laws which are going to control what they say and do. The
activities can be structured to be fully approved by state education officials. Green Chimneys is
prepared to help others discover how to do this.
We have developed skill cards for all areas of group living and school which are based on a levels
approach to learning. The skills cards enable us to know how a young person is progressing and
provide a motivating tool.
In order to follow the progress of the children in our care in every aspect of their daily life, we developed
GLAS (Green Chimneys Longitudinal Assessment System). GLAS helps us recognize the strengths
of our residents. It helps us to build on these strengths while we work to improve those areas which
appear to be in need of improvement. Ey concentrating on strengths, young people can receive
immediate recognition from the program staff.
(o often communities fight to keep group homes out of their back yards, Has Green
Chimneys had this problem?
A, Yes, but not the campus program. In fact. Green Chimneys has made its neighbors the best of
friends. All week long the grounds swarm with local residents and city folk who ride horses, see

firsthand. of school progress. An advisory committee of parents meets to develop plans, to give
feedback to staff on the various aspects of the children's program and to offer assistance. A special
program. We Ase Family, brings residents. siblings, family members and staff together for an
immersion weekend to meld all together to make the stay at Green Chimneys a valuable one and to
speed up the healing process.
One or two weekends a month children go home. Some go more often as the date for discharge
approaches. Transportation to and from home is an agency responsibility.
The life skills manuals. both junior and adolescent volumes, are reviewed with families as a means
of strengthening parenting skills.
Families continue a contact with the agency after final discharge. They return for certain events. This
is the most difficult thing to sustain over a long period of time.
But what if you can't get to Green Chimneys?
A. We have developed a program called Farm-on-the-MOO-ve. It brings animals to the city. Green
Chimneys vans tape animals and children to schools, street fairs and community centers around New
YorkCity. Regular visits to their institutions, schools and agencies help to bring the concept to others.
Green Chimneys youngsters from the campus share information and train their peers in animal care.
The adolescents in New York City from the Gramercy program are there, too, to help with the heavier
tasks. Our students experience the role reversal which was mentioned earlier. They become service
providers rather than service receivers.
As a first step to learn about the agency, one can request a full packet on information on the agency.
In turn, your name will be added to the mailing list and you will receive all publications and
announcements from Green Chimneys. Whereas these is no charge to be added to the mailing list,
it is hoped that the person will become involved with the agency and will join the many people who
support our work.
We also offer technical assistance and consultation to many organizations in this country and
elsewhere. Manuals and other publications are available to assist in replication of our techniques.
^�
a Is it possible to spend time at Greece Chimneys to leases more of your approach?
A. We invite people to apply for an internship of at least four months. We provide room. board and
a small stipend. places are limited and people need to apply well in advance. We have set aside a
residence to house the interns, Around 8-10 adults are always in residence. They come from the
United States as well as from around the globe.
The agency has a ip program.
commitment to training interested adults. it It also offers workshops and courses np
lishes this through a very well
planned internshco junction with a number of
colleges and universities.
eir
In the past, interns have worked beyond the required 4 months. In fact, many interns increased their
stays to 1 year. Interns volunteered their time in other Green Chimneys departments during
internship stay: they served as volunteer tutors, assisted teaching staff in other program areas and
planned special all -campus holiday events. All intems participate in training which

.Dear Mary',
November 17, 1999
Thankyou for sending me your proposal on your Poi Dog Ka'i t�roiect. 1 was very impressed
with what you put together, for your program. After reading the entire synopsis, the part I was
t impressed about, was the section on how you were going to implement the training of the
dogs. I lilted it, because it followed my training methods, that I have used for over thirty years..
My methods have been very humane and successful. Are you sure you haven't been watching
me train dogs?? 1 know my methods have produced some very special dogs. Just to mention a
few: Jack & Barney, from Michael Landon's " Little. House ou tiac Prrairiae", Cobber, from
"]f3ad Neaa s �ear�". with Jack Warden, my German Shepherd, Zion, who starred in NBC's
Movie of the 'eek," Ey€-uuf_ b& S4 rrgi-yO• with Marc Winningham & Keith Carridine. I
have enjoyed many facets of training dogs, which include, Movie work, Police dog training,
Service Dogs, Guide Dogs for the Blind, and Therapy Dogs. Thank -you for asking me to be
apart of your agenda,, by putting on clinics, to help educate the students that are working through
your program and the public. It would be my pleasure, to come to your Island and instruct the
students and dogs in basic obedience, trick training for fun, or what ever you need from me to
help you with your program. Just let me know when we can put together a clinic, so that we may
help the people and the dogs of your Island.
I look for>vard to your response in the near future.

To whom it may concern: I was very pleased to receive a copy of the P0I
DOG KA'I PROJECT . From my more than 50 years of experience I have found
that animal related projects provide an excellent way to work with children
and to motivate them to do well in school and be of service to others.The
proposed project accomplishes two very imaginative , creative and
innovative things. it rescues animals and provides service opportunities
for youth. The proposal has been well thought out. I would suggest an
evaluation piece be added which will provide information related to the
youth involved from the adults, which will provide an evaluation of the
program from the point of view of the students and from the people who
receive and/or experience an opportunity with the dogs being trained.
It would probably be very valuable to do some pre and post testing with the
students. Since public relations and fund development will be involved it
is essential to have parent participation and to do some outreach to
service clubs, religious organizations and various other groups. If we can
be of any help with the project, I hope you will not hesitate to be in
touch with us . Very good luck! Samuel B. Ross, Jr.

Dear Mary,
l have recently read the Poi Dog Ka'i proposal for the Waimea School district. I cannot express how
excited I am to possibly be a pan of this program. As members of our community we constantly strive to
make it better for our children and ourselves. This program will be a great way of doing so.
I would like to offer my services and my knowledge of working with children and animals. When working
with animals it is very important to understand their behavior and social structure. I feel with the past 8
years of my training experience and research, l understand behavior and social structure of canines and
cetaceans. This would benefit the Poi Dog Ka'i project by choosing an appropriate pet for students to work
with.
I have recently founded Paws University dog obedience and critter care. The goal for Paws University is to
train owners to train their dogs, thus making the dog more.desirable to live with as well as to keep. We
also offer boarding (on a smaller scale for now), and Critter Care. Boarding allows people to enjoy their
vacation and not have to wont' about their pets. Critter Care allows carefully screened dogs to socialize
with one another as well as giving the dogs proper exercise through playing with one another. With this
combined experience, I have dealt with a lot of individuals and their dogs. I have learned to understand
different breeds and the behavioral problems that are associated with each type. I find it very rewarding to
train dogs and their owners. I have witnessed a rise in self-esteem in the owners when they succeed in their
training goals as well as an increased relationship with their dogs when the dogs are able to do a behavior
correctly. I know I will find it equally rewarding to be able to offer my services to the Poi Dog Ka'i
project. Please consider me a part of this worthwhile endeavor.
Sincerely,
Tammy Goodrea

Dear Mal -Y,
We wanted to thank you fiir the opportunity to become a part of the POI DOG KA'l program
You all have put tog"her. Pet therapy is a very important part of our routine here at Hale Ho'oia

Qne of the greater joys in life is the giving of one's self, in the form of time and caring for
others. We are thankful to have the hope of a program as yours that will teacb and encourage the
young people of our co=iunity not only to become aware of the many blessings received in this
type of giving, but to also educate them in the responsibilities of pet care. The students, pests, the
patients and even tete hospital staff all reap the benefits.
We look fo:ward to meeting these students and helping with your program in whatever way we
