For the love of animals It takes dedication and hard work Dedication, hard work and a love for ani- mals. It seems these are the three prerequisites _-..feeded when working with the S.P.C.A. But. Brian Brownrigg, Janine Issel, Susan Lifely * and Elaine Lester of the Trail Regional Branch of the B.C. S.P.C.A. just happen to fit the bill. This branch, established around 1983, is one of the few in the Kootenays offering shelter facilities. “It was started eight years ago by a Lida Haas,” said assistant branch manager Janine Issel. “The two main things we do are, ani- mal control and S.P.C.A. work dealing with cases of cruelty and neglect.” “Our animal control boundaries range roughly from just outside Fruitvale to Trail, Rossland and Salmo. We got our animal control contract around 1985.” The cruelty and neglect serving area ludes the Salmo boundary, east to Fnitvale, Trail and Rossland, west to the Paulson Bridge, north to the Hugh-Keenly- side Dam and north-east to Terry’s road including Pass Creek, Thrums, Syringa Creek, Robson and Castlegar. “Roughly 50 per cent of the animals we get are tumed in by their owners for various _ Feasons, such as moving’ orallergies,” said Issel. “The other half are’ either animals that we pick up or those which ‘are tumed in as strays, roughly 25 per cent each.” As for the inevitable destruction ratio, “about half the dogs get claimed or re-adopt- ed but only about 13 per cent of our cats get claimed or re-adopted,” she said. “Being a rural area we have dealt with some cases involving horses and cattle. We also take turned in guinea pigs and other rodent type pets.” In addition to animal control and regular S.P.C.A. functions the branch also offers boarding and grooming services, pet lost and found and pet facilitated therapy. “With the pet facilitated therapy we have a volunteer, Dorothy Boone, who comes in and takes animals to the Columbia View Lodge, the Trail Hospital Extended Care Unit and the Rossland Hospital Extended Care Unit,” said Issel. “This type of therapy is really appreciated.” or Fax: ONE CALL DOES IT ALL! — Safeway’s Direct Order Hotline — Freshness and Service are operative words behind Safeway's Specialty Departments.

" { “Blaine Lester groo : a very coop ‘Cricket’. “Hh education is also starting up, the materials are out to the schools in school dis- trict #11 and we also do tours of the shelter ‘and provide informative presentations to any one who is interested.” According to Issel there has been a heavy tum-over of staff in the past but the present ‘team’ of staff members have been working together for three years now. “Brian has been here for eight years. He was hired by Lida immediately after she started the shelter,” said Issel. “He started as the animal control officer and was volunteer- ing his time then later took a course in Van- couver qualifying him as a Special Constable. This allows him to exercise the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act.” The P.C.A. Act is basically the set of laws which allow the officers to investigate Cru- elty/Neglect Cases and act upon them if nec- essary. Brownrigg is now the branch executive director. Issel started out five years ago working as a volunteer but soon grabbed the position of groomer and began getting paid. She carried on to become office manager as well as con- tinuing with her grooming duties. Elaine Lester started as a groomer three years ‘ago but also carries out office duties. Susan Lifely has been with the branch a total of three years, starting asag but Janine Issel with an adoptable canine. animal control or complaints are offered 24 hours on call,” said Issel. “We can also transport wildlife to a vet for first aid but we’re not allowed to take in any wildlife.” Staff members recently rescued a dog that had fallen from a cliff and was stranded on a ledge. The pet turned out to be frightened but fine and was retumed to its anxious owner. They also carried out a river rescue involving an old dog that had fallen into the Columbia River. The dog managed to get caught up in some rocks and pipes but was to cold to move. “Susan saw the dog and just jumped right in and got it,” said Issel. “The dog was just fine after we warmed it up.” Lifely said, “I got out of the water and collapsed half way up the bank, my legs were so cold they just gave out.” The staff eat S.P.C.A. are in the Process of attaini ium for those ani which have fe be destroyed. “The crematorium option is a lot better than the dump. It will be for our own ani- mals as well as the public because when pets die people can’t just bury them in their back yards,” said Issel. ‘“‘We haven't decided what the charge will be but we will be offering the service to the public as well as wooden ial boxes which will be made by later attaining the position of animal control officer. She also investigates cruelty and neglect cases. The Trail Regional Branch ‘also offers an animal ambul service and “All services for ambulance, rescue, and _ members of Trail Society for Community Living. We would like to have the crematori- um running by late summer or fall.” ee
