Mission Statement:
Animal Friends of the Valleys is dedicated to promoting humane care of
animals through education
and a humane, pro-active
animal services program.
We are committed to preventing the suffering of
animals and to ending pet
overpopulation.
Animal Friends of the Valleys is your local animal
shelter. We offer animals
for adoption and provide
animal services to Lake
Elsinore, Wildomar, Canyon Lake, Menifee, Murrieta, and Temecula. We
are a nonprofit 501(c)(3)
organization.
Do you have kids who might enjoy some fun activities during Spring Break? We’ve got just the
thing—Furry Friends Kids’ Camp, which will be held March 30 to April 3. Two sessions will be
presented this year, one in the morning and one in the afternoon. Kids learn about the responsibilities of caring for a pet, bite prevention, kindness toward animals, and more. Camp is hosted by our humane educator, Marisa Charrier. See page 6 for more information.
Our annual golf tournament will be held May15 at Cross Creek Golf Club in Murrieta. Golfers
always have a great time playing in the beautiful secluded environment of Cross Creek.
Please watch our web site for details as the date draws near.
Attention Residents of Murrieta, Lake Elsinore, Wildomar
And Riverside County Areas Serviced by AFV
Have you taken advantage of the spay/neuter and microchipping offers from your city and
AFV?
All Murrieta residents qualify for free microchips (regularly $20) for their cats and dogs (while
supplies last). What a great deal! Lake Elsinore, Wildomar and county areas served by AFV
are offering residents microchips for only $5. Imagine how you’d feel if your pet happened to
get out of your home or yard with no identification on him. ID tags can fall off, collars can come
undone, but microchips are foolproof. Every stray pet coming into the shelter is scanned for a
microchip. If one is found, staff will call you and your pet will be back with you in no time.
Spay/neuter vouchers are still available for residents who qualify and live in the above areas,
too. Please don’t delay having your pet spayed or neutered. Do you really want to be responsible for caring for a litter of puppies
or kittens for two months and then
trying to find homes for them when
there aren’t enough homes for the
animals that are already here?
Please don’t let your pets breed!
Check our website for spay/neuter
voucher qualification details today!
(We hope to have microchip and
spay/neuter offers for Menifee and
Temecula residents in the near future. Please watch our website for
information.)
If you don’t qualify for voucher help, please call our low cost spay/neuter clinic for an appointment at 951-674-0618, ext. 239. The animals will thank you!

Message from our Executive Director
Spring 2015
Dear Animal Friends,
We are well into 2015 and we are eagerly working on some great programs. AFV has challenged each
of the cities to which we provide animal control service (Canyon Lake, Lake Elsinore, Murrieta,
Menifee, Temecula and Wildomar, along with the Riverside County unincorporated area that we serve)
and offered to match up to $10,000 per city for spaying and neutering and $2,500 per city for microchips. Murrieta, Lake Elsinore, Wildomar and Riverside County have accepted AFV’s generous offer and
are participating in the program. Temecula and Menifee are hoping to participate in the near future.
We continue to partner with Wings of Rescue and to fly dogs to areas that do not experience the high
dog intake that we have in this valley. Ric Browde has been a true blessing by allowing AFV to participate in this life saving mission. We are working closely with Best Friends in Utah and have transferred
many animals to them for adoption. Recently a motorhome pulled into the shelter parking lot from
Labs and More Rescue. Monica Alexander, AFV’s rescue coordinator, worked with them and, as a result, they removed 10 large dogs
from the shelter.
We have some pretty special employees at AFV that make these missions possible. Monica Alexander spends 30 hours per week networking with approved rescue groups in an effort to move the dogs and cats out of the shelter. Christine Antonelli, donor and special
programs supervisor, spends a great deal of time preparing the animals and the necessary paperwork for the rescue flights. Mike
Bagwell comes in at 3 a.m. to load the animals and drive them to whichever airport the flight is leaving from. He then stays to help
load the airplanes. Foster Coordinator Robin Harper is constantly seeking new foster families so that animals can be removed from
the shelter to stay in a foster home until they are adopted. What a great team!
We have so many special people who help us achieve all of the tasks that must be done daily at the shelter. Our staff, board members and volunteers work so hard to make a difference in the lives of animals. We are a success because we have people that care.
We are also blessed to have supporters and donors that help make it possible for AFV to expand our many programs. We continue
to lower the numbers coming in to the shelter because of the programs that we have. We have done a great job with your help!
Sincerely,
Willa Bagwell

Dog Questions for God
Dear Animal Friends...
Like all of God’s creatures, sometimes the dog has some questions he’d like to get answered; and if we could understand their
nightly prayers, maybe they would sound something like this…
Dear God: Is it on purpose that our names are spelled the
same, only in reverse?
Dear God: Why do humans smell the flowers but seldom, if
ever, smell one another?
Dear God: When we get to heaven, can we sit on your couch? Or
will it be the same old story?
Dear God: Why are there cars
named after the jaguar, the cougar,
the mustang, the colt, the stingray
and the rabbit, but not ONE named
for a dog? How often do you see a
cougar riding around? We love a
nice car ride! Would it be so hard to
rename the “Chrysler Eagle” the
“Chrysler Beagle”?
Dear God: If a dog barks his head
off in the forest and no human hears him, is he still a bad dog?
Dear God: We dogs can understand
human verbal instructions, hand signals,
whistles, horns, clickers, beepers, scent
IDs, electromagnetic energy fields, and
Frisbee flight paths. What do humans
understand?
Dear God: More meatballs, less spaghetti, please.
Dear God: Are there any mailmen in
heaven? If there are, will I have to apologize?
P.S. Dear God: When I get to heaven,
will I still be neutered?
AFV Low Cost Spay/Neuter Clinic Statistics…
Since opening our low cost spay/neuter clinic on July 1, 2013,
there have been 6058 surgeries performed, 13,526 vaccinations
administered, and 987 microchips implanted through February
2015.
Thanks to everyone who
made the clinic a reality and
to all those using its services. Many thousands of
lives have been saved
thanks to you!
Please don’t give bunnies, chicks or any other animal for
Easter. Give chocolate instead!

News from our Humane Educator, Marissa Charrier
Hello Animal Friends,
I’m Marisa Charrier, AFV’s humane educator. My job is to teach
compassion for animals, the importance of spaying and neutering
to control pet overpopulation, and why we should adopt shelter
animals. I do this by giving shelter tours to individuals and groups of
all ages, attending community events, and giving presentations at
local schools.
I’m also implementing free monthly workshops at AFV that will cover topics such as grooming, tips for successful training, and pet first
aid. My vision for these workshops is to provide our community with
the knowledge to properly care for its pets without having to spend
a lot of money. I also want to cover the importance of choosing the
right pet for your family. What many people don’t realize is that it
may take several months for a pet to adjust to their new environment; because of this issue, we often get adopted pets returned to
us. We want to help avoid this by giving the public the information
they need for a successful adoption.
I will host our annual Furry
Friends Kids’ Camps
where children will learn
the responsibilities of pet
guardianship, bite prevention and kindness toward
animals. We will be offering a spring session during Spring Break (March
30 to April 3) as well as
several sessions during
the summer, beginning
June 8. Please watch our
website for more details.
I’ve also started Toys and Teach kindness.
Tour sessions where
community groups come to the shelter and make toys to donate to
the animals and then tour our facility. It’s a fun and easy way to
help the animals with the added bonus of seeing the toys in action
before the group leaves!
If you’re interested in any of these events, have an idea for a workshop, or are interested in donating your time for one of our workshops, please do not hesitate to contact me at 951-674-0618,
ext. 210, or at [email protected].
With your help, we can make our community a safer place for the
animals.

Adoption is Forever (or Should Be)
When potential adopters fill out an application to adopt a new
pet at AFV, the first question they’re asked is, “Are you willing
and able to make a LIFETIME commitment to the care of this
pet (15+ years)? Yes or No
Of course, everybody checks the “Yes” box. But, life happens,
memories dim, and all too often the animal is brought back to
the shelter—perhaps not the next day, week, or month, but maybe in six months or even six years. If the new animal does not
get along with the other animal(s) in the home or has another
issue that shows itself in the first few days, it’s perfectly understandable that the match just was not the right one and the animal should be returned so he can have a second chance to find
another family.
But, all too often, it seems
that family members suddenly develop allergies
they never had before, the
child who was begging for
a cat or dog a few years
earlier goes off to college,
the family buys new carpeting and the animal is
returned (this actually has
happened!) or the family
moves...and back comes
the animal that he (and
we) thought had found his
forever home. What hapThe way it should be.
pened to that “Yes” answer in the check box?
Adopting an animal should always be a family affair and the
decision to adopt should not be made lightly. If a child goes off
to school, why does the animal have to be given up? If a family
moves, why can’t the animal make the move, too? Of course,
every situation is different, but bringing the animal back to the
shelter should always be a last resort decision. The easy way
out for you is not the easy way out for the deserted animal.
Often, they cry and become depressed; they cannot comprehend why they have been deserted by their family. How would
you feel in their place?
Animals are not objects to be discarded when they become inconvenient. Please consider the animal you bring into your life a
family member that you will love and cherish for the rest of his
Sometimes, All We Can do is Ask, “Why?”
At AFV, we see many dogs arriving at the shelter that look as if they
have never been groomed in their entire lives. Just imagine how it would
feel to never have had a bath, your nails
trimmed, or your hair washed and cut.
Part of our responsibility as pet guardians
is to keep our dogs bathed and groomed. If
you can’t afford regular grooming, please
don’t adopt a pet with a long coat. There
are plenty of short-haired dogs (and cats)
from which to choose. There is no excuse
to keep an animal in the miserable condition that this poor dog and many others like
him have had to endure.

Toby’s Story
Spring 2015
My Name was Lonely
By Susie Watters
In August 2010, I was running around with some of my friends
when I got “nabbed” by the animal police and put in the “slammer”.
There were a lot of us in separate cages in a trailer for small dogs
(at the old shelter). I was very sad. Then SHE walked in! Our eyes
met and she walked right over to me. I tried to give her my most
sorrowful face so she would feel sorry for me. Then she took me
out into an enclosed area and sat down. I ran over and crawled
into her lap. Then I threw myself back into her arms so she could
hold me like a baby. I was really milking it…I wanted to go home
with her!
Well, it must have worked! She took
me home and I met my new “dogsister”, Sadie. She told her husband
that she was so glad I was such a
mellow dog. Actually, I was pretty
sick when she got me and I wouldn’t eat. She got down on the floor
and hand-fed me for the next three
days. The veterinarian said I had an
upper respiratory infection and gave
me some medicine and I soon began to feel better.
After about a week, I was feeling
like my old self again. I wanted her
to know that I was better so I started running around, barking and
carrying on! Oh, I was happy! Her husband looked at her and
said, “Yes, it’s a good thing you got such a mellow dog!” They both
laughed.
I’ve learned all kinds of manners and commands. I love going on
walks all around the trails at The Farm in Wildomar. I am a really
good dog because I want her to know how much I appreciate my
new home and my new “parents”. Ahhh….life is good!!!
(Susie’s note: Toby is now a 7-year-old Pomeranian-Pekingese
mix, rescued from Animal Friends of the Valleys. They were wonderful! I strongly encourage anyone looking for a dog or cat to
adopt a wonderful shelter pet. I think they know you saved them…
they are so appreciative!)
New BFFs from our off site adoption show
at the Temecula PETCO!
Hi, my name was Lonely. I am an old lady dog with a white face. I
was brought to AFV by a man I barely knew, but I followed him and
wagged my tail as we walked into the Surrender area. I didn’t know
what that meant, but there were a lot of sad people in there. The
person who brought me in said, “I need to get rid of this thing…” He
was talking about me. A sad woman said that I wasn’t a “thing”, but
a dog. Another sad woman said some things to the man, also, but I
don’t remember what she said. Then the women left and the man
put a leash around my neck and sat down and started writing
(humans do this a lot.) I was starting to get a little nervous, being
called a “thing” and all.
In just a little bit, a man with a white fur face came in and walked
over to me. He ran his hand down my back, then petted my head.
Then he looked at me and said, “I will take this dog. She’s mine
now and you can leave.” Everyone in the room fell silent. The old
man with the white face just like me told the woman behind the
desk that he was going to take me to his home. I didn’t know him,
but his hand felt really good when he petted me. The woman said I
would have to stay a few days so I could get my shots. The old man
said, “Okay, but you call me when she’s ready.”
A few days later, the old man came with another dog. They put us
both in a large fenced place and then we sniffed each other and
that was a little boring. There was a little girl watching me and the
other dog. The old man went to her and asked her what she would
name me if I was her dog. She thought and thought, then she said,
“I would name her Rosie.” The old man said that was a good name,
and that from now on I would be Rosie. I really like having my own
special name and I was really starting to like the old man with the
white face like mine.
When we left AFV together, an announcement was made that a
senior had just adopted a senior. I don’t know what that means, but
everybody was really happy.
Now I wasn’t “Lonely” anymore. My name is Rosie, with a nice
home with a nice pack of nice dogs. I even have my own cat whose
name is Louie. I love my old man with a white face like me, and I
follow him everywhere. He pats me on the head a lot and says,
“Good girl, Rosie.”

A Dog’s Last Will and Testament
Before humans die, they write their last will and testament,
give their home and all they have to those they leave behind.
If, with my paws, I could do the same, this is what I’d ask…
To a poor and lonely stray, I’d give my happy home, my bowl and cozy bed,
soft pillow and all my toys; the lap, which I loved so much; the hand that
stroked my fur; and the sweet voice that spoke my name.
I’d will to the sad, scared shelter dog the place I had in my human’s loving
heart, of which there seemed no bounds.
So, when I die, please do not say, “I will never have a pet again, for the loss
and pain is more than I can stand.”
Instead, go find an unloved dog, one whose life has held no joy or hope,
and give my place to him.
This is the only thing I can give…
The love I left behind.

cruel to animals cannot be

Did you know that the shelter uses approximately 960 cans of wet
food and thirty 50 lb. bags of dry food (1500 lbs.) each month?
Now, that’s a lot of groceries!
If you’re wondering how you can help the
homeless dogs in our community, please
donate food to the shelter! To avoid upsetting tummies, please donate IAMS or
Pedigree.
You can always send a monetary donation, too, with a note requesting that it be
used to purchase food.
Lots of hungry mouths at the shelter will
thank you!

In the spirit of the
Christmas Season,
Annika, Alex and
Isabella Jost came to
the shelter to make a
donation. They wanted to be sure that our
shelter pets were well
cared for during the
holiday season. Many
thanks, ladies!! We
appreciate the gesture and made sure it was put to good
use for the animals!
The Black Family adopted a 6month-old Lab they named
Brooks and fell so in love with
him that they wanted to share
the love with everyone at the
shelter.
We are so happy Brooks is in
such a wonderful family and is
so well loved!
Girl Scout Daisy Troop 726 visited us recently. They
earned their Rosie petal by collecting donations for their
homeless
animal
friends. We
appreciate
all the hard
work they’re
doing to
make our
world a
better
place.
Thank you, Daisies!
And look what Macey Fredrickson brought in for the shelter animals during the holidays. The animals had a real
Christmas feast with all these tasty food items. A huge
thank you, Macey!
By Christine Antonelli, AFV Donor Programs and Special
Programs Supervisor: I met an incredible family last December.
They came to the shelter on the one year anniversary of their
daughter's passing. They brought donations they had gathered
and made a cash donation in their daughter's name. They
brought the actual money their daughter had been saving her
entire life. It was extremely touching and I am happy I had the
opportunity to meet them...a truly wonderful family looking to
carry on their daughter's passion for animals and celebrate her
life. We wish them the best and hope that they are able to find
comfort and peace. I wanted to pass along a few words from
them...
"In honor of our daughter Kathryn Elizabeth Crosby’s memory,
donations of blankets, towels, toys and funds were made to
Animal Friends of the Valleys on 12-15-14. The Crosby Family
will carry on Kathryn’s great
love and passion for animals by making an annual
run for contributions in her
name: Memorial for Kathryn
Crosby’s Cause for Critters
to animal shelters and foster homes nearby. A big
heart felt Thank You goes
out to Tanya Gault and family, Juliana Russo and family, Cindy Barbosa and family, the Hohnstines, the
Shears, the Barochiereis,
Stefanie Ackerman and
family, Irene Holland, the
Jamniczky Family and the
Klaisle Family for your generous contributions."
Kathryn and her sister Kaitlyn with a
friend.
Thank you and God Bless,
Scott, Kristy and Kaitlyn Crosby
Here is Troop 45, who recently donated some handcrafted dog
toys to the animals. They also toured the shelter, and by the end
of the tour they were excited to see that their toys were already
in use. Thank you from everybody at the shelter for your very
thoughtful and kind donations.
If you or your organization are interested in touring the shelter or
scheduling a visit to your school, please contact our humane
educator at 951-674-0618, ext. 210, or Humane Educator@

Thinking of Declawing Your Cat?
Have You
Heard?
World Spay Day was February 24 and AFV, along with Lucky Chi
Dog Rescue, observed the day by giving out free spay/neuter
vouchers to residents of the cities we serve. Lucky Chi also gave
each person a $10 gift card (while supplies lasted) when picking up
their animal after surgery. (For residents with Chihuahuas and/or
pit bulls, Lucky Chi gave two $10 gift cards!) All that residents had
to do was come into the shelter and sign up. In all, 284 vouchers
were given out (approximately $25,000 worth!) We thank everyone
who participated. Each of you saved many future animal lives.
AFV works with many rescue groups and we were thrilled when
Labs and More Dog Rescue pulled up to the shelter recently and
rescued 10 large
dogs! So often, it is
the large dogs that
aren’t as readily
adopted as the
smaller dogs, so we
give a big thanks to
Labs and More as
well as all the other approved rescues with whom we work (200
total!) A big thanks, also, to our rescue coordinator Monica Alexander who arranges everything!
Speaking of rescues, it isn’t just cats and dogs that enter the shelter. AFV recently received a “stray” blue and gold macaw that was
found sitting on someone’s porch! No one
ever claimed the bird
and, with the help of The
Beak Squad Parrot Club
of Menifee and Last
Chance at Life All Breed
Rescue in Oceanside, he was rescued, taken to an avian vet for a
check up and soon adopted by a family experienced with macaws.
The photo shows “Biscuit” showing off for his new family!
And away we go! Our dogs (cats,
too!) are still being flown to areas
that have fewer animals available
for adoption. Most recently, eight
dogs flew out of Los Angeles with
Best Friends Animal Society “Pup
My Ride” program to the Oregon
Humane Society in Portland. Over
130 AFV animals have been flown,
mostly to the northwestern U. S., in the past year. Thanks to Best
Friends, Bark Avenue Foundation, Wings of Rescue and Shelter
Me for including AFV animals in their rescue flights!
Too often, people think that declawing a cat is a simple surgery that “somehow” removes a cat’s nails — similar to a
person having his nails trimmed. Unfortunately, that is far
from the truth.
Declawing involves the amputation of the last bone of each
toe. The same procedure on a human being would be to cut
off each finger at the knuckle. (Ouch!) The wounds are
closed with stitches or a surgical glue and the feet are bandaged.
Declawing sometimes causes behavioral problems.
Declawed cats
might stop using
the litter box. For
several days after
surgery, shredded
newspaper is often
put in the litterbox
while the paws are
healing. Getting
used to the new
material, along
with the pain of scratching in the box, can cause the cat to
stop using the litter box altogether.
A cat that has been declawed will often resort to biting because she no longer has her claws for defense. If she happens to escape outdoors, she will have no way to defend
herself. If there are other pets in the home, such as dogs or
other cats, the declawed cat may resort to hiding since she
cannot scratch if another pet is harassing her.
For a cat, scratching is a normal behavior. It is up to you to
provide suitable materials for her to scratch on. You can
provide scratching posts, sisal, carpet scraps and a variety
of other things. It’s also important to keep her nails trimmed.
There are even plastic caps that you can purchase made
especially to be glued onto your cat’s nails that will prevent
clawing damage to your furniture and curtains. The caps
need to be
replaced approximately
every six
weeks.
Declawing is
cruel and
unnecessary.
With a little
thought, you
should be
able to come
up with the purrfect solution to keep your cat happy and
your furniture like new.

Without the help of our many supporters we would not be able to continue helping the animals in need. Thanks to these
