Got a story idea for Bloodworks 101? Send us a text message There's a common misconception that when you adopt a pet, you're saving that animal's life. It's a one-way street, right? Well, at the Portland Humane Society, Jim Nelson can tell you that pets give us so much in return. On this edition of Bloodworks 101, Jim and Oregon Humane Society's Laura Klink tell producer John Yeager about that strong bond between people and their pets that's such a big part of our Give Blood Rescue a Human campaign. 

Last week, Oregon State Police, joined by multiple state and local agencies, completed a search of a roadside zoo in Bandon on the Southern Oregon Coast. More than 300 animals were seized and relocated to animal sanctuaries or rescue facilities. Three animals, including a camel, were euthanized because they were determined to be in such poor health they could not be transported or treated, according to OSP. The Oregon Humane Society, the Coos County Sheriff’s Office, the Oregon Department of Agriculture and the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife assisted OSP with the four-day search and criminal investigation, which is ongoing. The now-closed West Coast Game Park Safari opened in 1972 and lured visitors with a chance to encounter exotic animals like tigers, lions, chimpanzees and emus. Over the years, it had garnered numerous complaints from community members and organizations like People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals over suspected animal neglect and possible violations of state wildlife regulations. Inspectors at the Department of Agriculture cited the roadside zoo 78 times in the past year alone for animals that had gone missing, appeared underfed or were denied adequate veterinary care, among other violations of the Animal Welfare Act.  Jefferson Public Radio reporter Justin Higginbottom has been following this story and joins us with more details.

My guest for this episode is Kim Mosiman. In 2009, Kim – a practice manager and veterinary technician – with Columbia Equine Hospital's veterinarian, Dr. Scott Hansen, founded Sound Equine Options. They founded it to assist the growing number of area horse owners who could no longer afford to properly care for their animals. Since 2009, Sound Equine Options has grown into a licensed rescue focusing on ending the cycle of abuse, neglect, abandonment, and suffering for local horses. Sound Equine Options assists with law enforcement cases, often in partnership with the Oregon Humane Society. They currently have working relationships with law enforcement agencies in several counties in Oregon and Clark and Klickitat counties in Washington. By caring for abused, neglected, and abandoned horses, Sound Equine Options fills a great need not met by local or state governments, which often lack the resources needed to address the increasing numbers of unwanted horses. Here's what to expect during the episode: Unwanted horses: The role of nonprofit equine rescue and sanctuary organizations. What are the different types of horse rescue? What are common problems that occur with founder CEOs? Why must a nonprofit organization develop a clear mission? Why choose board members that will go along with you and those that deal well with change? And much more! Connect with Kim Mosiman!

Having a four-legged family member brings a new level of joy, and benefit, to a home. Studies have shown the positive health benefits pets can have on their humans from lowered blood pressure, improved mental/emotional health, and even lowered risk for heart disease. Knowing not all pets are meant to hit the open road for a walk or a run, did you know not all dogs are meant for the same? We are talking with the Oregon Humane Society this week on best practices when exercising with your dogs to keep you both safe and healthy.

Still a relatively new field, veterinary social work is gaining traction in clinics and shelters across the country. (The host of this show, Debrah Lee, LCSW leads the Veterinary Well-Being program at DoveLewis Veterinary Emergency & Critical Care Hospital in Portland, OR.) Vetmed professionals often joke that they went into the field because they get along better with animals than people. But companion animals are inextricably linked to the humans that care for them. In this episode, Kelly Bremken, MSW, a veterinary social work intern at the Oregon Humane Society, explains how her role impacts both animals and humans in the community. We also discuss how the advent of veterinary social work has legitimized the need for greater emphasis on mental health and self-care in the industry.

GUEST: Dr. Steve Kochis is chief medical officer at the Oregon Humane Society. His veterinary specialties include infectious diseases, immunology and emergency medicine. He received his Bachelor of Science in Animal Sciences and DVM from Cornell University. Dr. Kochis has served as President of the Portland Veterinary Medical Association and currently serves on its Executive Board. MAIN QUESTION: How can an organization create a happy, productive team and retain staff? TAKEAWAYS: * Creating a positive culture of trust and respect where people are valued helps with staff retention, recruitment and leads to happy clients and successful medical outcomes. * Making staff feel valued can include relatively simple and inexpensive things such as celebrating birthdays, bringing in healthy snack foods, or a coffee cart where everyone gets to pick their favorite fancy drink. For bigger organizations, such options could include a food truck or shaved ice truck once a month where the organization pays for staff to pick something they like. * When seeking new team members, hire someone who is a good fit with the team; someone you'd want to go to work with each day can be more important than experience because kindness and respect are harder to teach. * Staff on site might not know about or appreciate the hard work of those working remotely so it’s important to let people know what others on the team are contributing. * Remember that some people don’t like public recognition so find other ways to let them know their work is appreciated. * Veterinary social work – that area where human needs arise in the practice of veterinary medicine – is an important area of work that nonprofit clinics and shelter clinics can benefit from exploring.
