For your next family member!

SUN P.E.T.S. was THRILLED to host its first-ever Paws in the Vineyard meet and greet event in 2013 on the beautiful grounds of Spyglass Ridge Winery in Sunbury. We invite you to join us in this exciting event again on October 12, 2014! This year’s event will be held from 11 am to 3 pm once again at Spyglass Ridge Winery in Sunbury.

This event is designed to be an informative experience that promotes public awareness and education on issues of responsible dog adoption and on decreasing overpopu-lation and random breeding through spay/neuter and con-scientious pet guardianship. SUN P.E.T.S. is committed to decreasing pet overpopulation and continues to strive to educate the public on the importance of spaying/neutering the family pet. Various rescue groups, pet ser-vices including pet trainers, pet sitters, pet boarding and veterinary services will be on site to provide information.

SUN P.E.T.S. HOSTING ITS 2nd ANNUAL

PAWS IN THE VINEYARD EVENT

Music/entertainment will be provided by Spyglass Ridge Winery. Dog food companies and dog treat businesses will also be present. This year’s event will also include a rabies clinic during the day, several dog agility demonstrations, and a blessing of the animals. Spy-glass Ridge Winery also offers its tasting room and wine tasting tent for those interested in trying their wines.

It will educate people of all ages, especially the next gen-eration, of the importance of choosing pet adoption rather than through a pet store, as well as encourage those to get involved and become heroes to our furry best friends. Celebrate our pet companions. You might find your new best friend. This is a dog and cat meet and greet event you just can’t miss! Mark Oct 12th from 11am – 3pm on your calendar and consider adopting an animal in need (no dogs or cats will be adopted out at this event, this is strictly a meet and greet event).

Dr. Matthew Murphy of Keystone Mobile Veterinary Services

died tragically in late September 2013, leaving a vast void in

the animal welfare field. Dr. Murphy was the veterinarian who

first collaborated with SUN P.E.T.S. in late 2011 to make our

dream of a regularly-scheduled mobile spay/neuter clinic for

cats a reality during the past two years.

In his honor, the SUN P.E.T.S. “Spay-A-Stray” fund has been

re-dedicated as “Dr. Murphy’s Spay-A-Stray Fund” as a perma-

nent memorial to honor this inspirational veterinarian.

Warren Fisher, VMD, has officially retired. Dr. Fisher ran the White Deer Ridge Animal Hospital in Montgomery, for thirty years. His wife, Paula, worked with him as his assistant. Together, they have participated in SUN P.E.T.S. low-cost spay and neuter program during the past 10 years.

Dr. Fisher graduated from the University of Pennsylvania Veterinary School. He served six years in the Air Force, three of which were in England and three in Japan. Dr. Fisher is also a certified Baptist Lay Minister, and the couple plans to do a lot of traveling, some of which will be on mission trips. Along with three children, four granddaugh-ters and a grandson “on the way,” Dr. and Mrs. Fisher are looking forward to a granddaugh-ter being adopted from Haiti.

Thank You, Dr. Warren Fisher!

“SUN P.E.T.S. has been a great organization to work with, and I am glad that we could help by of-fering reasonable rates to your clients,” Mrs. Fisher remarked. “Of course, it is always good to do what you can do to help control the pet population.”

Seeing a need for low-cost spay/neuter and vaccina-tion services for cats in this region, Kerry Perry, Executive Director, organized The Beckoning Cat Project clinic last winter to provide these services. Dr. Meghan Welch provides the veterinary services at this clinic. Dr. Welch hails from Maryland, but was originally from the Williamsport area, so accepting this position was a move home for her. Beckoning Cat Project clinic is located at 1417 East Third Street, in Williamsport, directly off the Faxon Street exit from Hwy 180. It is open Monday through Friday from 9:00 am - 5:00 pm and provides spay, neuter and vaccination services for cats only. However, ALL cats – pets, ferals, barn cats, strays, rescues, and TNR’d cats are welcome. There are no geographic or income eligibility requirements or limitations for cli-

Legislation Alert!!!!~

Support HB 1750 – to End 2 Shockingly Cruel Forms of Animal Abuse

Pennsylvania animal lovers – we need everyone who cares about animals in Pennsylvania to take action or this bill will not pass in the few remaining days the legislature will be in session in the fall. 1. There currently is no prohibition in Pennsylvania for

raising dogs and cats for human consumption. With-out HB 1750 there is nothing law enforcement can do when suspected cases are reported. HB 1750, intro-duced by Representative John Maher, will ban the raising, slaughter, processing, and offering of dogs and cats for human consumption.

2. Prohibits dogs and cats and other animals from being mechanically launched or tethered for trap or block shoots. In instances where those who torture animals as sadistic forms of entertainment, such as tethering dogs or cats or any animal to be shot, this will make it explic-itly illegal to do so. It will also finally put an end to Pennsylvania’s live pigeon shoots, horrific contests where live birds are launched before awaiting shooters, to be wounded or killed for money and prizes.

Support HB 1759 – Pet Store Disclosure Laws: Protect Puppies and Consumers in PA

What can you do? First, please contact your own state senator to ask them to vote yes AND help make sure HB 1750 receives a vote when the legislature returns this fall. Second, thanking the senators who were integral to moving this important bill, including the amendment to stop live launched ani-mal shoots, is also important since opposition is targeting them. Please send an e-mail thanking the following Sena-tors for their actions leading the way on HB 1750 either by sending an email or clicking on their name and send-ing a message through their web-site: Senators Stewart Greenleaf, Pat Browne, Richard Alloway II and Dominic Pileggi. You can also thank them on their Facebook pages. It is as simple as saying something like “Thank you for your leadership ending two horrifying cruelties in Pennsylvania. We look forward to passing this bill into law in the fall when the legislature returns to Har-risburg.” And Representative John Maher, the author and prime sponsor of HB 1750 deserves a huge thank

Puppies sold at Pennsylvania pet stores come from all over the country—and many come from breeders with numerous Animal Welfare Act violations.According to a report re-cently issued by the Auditor General, the Pennsylvania De-partment of Agriculture’s Dog Law Enforcement Office has failed to adequately enforce many provisions of the state’s puppy mill law, Act 119, which would ensure basic standards of care at commercial breeding kennels. What does this legislation do? To provide consumers with valuable information to help them make better-informed decisions, this law will:

Require pet stores to disclose information to consumers about the origin of their puppies, including the state in which the puppy was born and the breeder’s licensing information;

Require pet stores to provide documentation of a puppy’s medical history, including vaccinations, worming treatments, and other medical care given;

Require pet stores to document the age, breed and date of birth of the dog.

Don't keep this a secret...Please network far and wide so our representatives know this is serious legislatioin for many Penn-sylvanians! We are their VOICE!!!!

Veterinarians –Champions of Our Success

This is the third in a series of articles showcasing area Veterinarians that participate in our mission to offer

low-cost spaying, neutering and other services to the public.

Jennifer Hopkinson, VMD Animal Care Hospital

308 Hospital Drive, Lewisburg, PA

570-524-7560

Dr. Hopkinson met her husband, Michael, while they were both doing their undergraduate studies at Bloomsburg Uni-versity. She went on to the University of Pennsylvania and attained a VMD degree in the year 2000. Having grown up in York County, Dr. Hopkinson and her husband were fa-miliar with the Lewisburg area, and agreed that it would a wonderful place to raise their children.

In October of 2005, Dr. Hopkinson and her husband bought Animal Care Hospital from Alice H. Gora, VMD. Dr. Gora operated the clinic for 18 years and still works there one day a week, accord-ing to Dr. Hopkinson. Two other doctors, Jana Parson, DVM, and Katie Rumsy, DVM, also work at the hospital, in addition to 15 staff members and Michael Hopkin-son, Practice Manager. Dr. Gora started her association with SUN P.E.T.S., when she owned the hospital, and Dr. Hopkinson has continued on as an associate.

Dr. Hopkinson says internal medicine is her favorite area, along with homeopathic medicine. “The two can be mar-ried together,” says Hopkinson,” and nutrition is the base for everything. I do not believe there is one food for every dog, or one for every cat,” she says. “Also, laser and acu-puncture often work together very well. We send our pa-tients to a veterinary practice in Danville where an acu-puncturist comes to the clinic once a week.” Dr. Hopkin-son says her hospital uses laser therapy and she hopes that some day in the future, they can begin to do laser surgery. The use of ultrasound as a diagnostic tool has already ad-vanced treatments tremendously, according to Dr. Hopkin-son.

Dr. Hopkinson says that she really likes “all areas of veteri-nary medicine,” but says that euthanasia was one of the

hardest things she had to master as a new doctor. “As a veterinarian, I learned that euthanasia is a method to end an animal’s suffering, and that we must make it as easy as we can. It is one last gift that we can give a suffering ani-mal that allows them to leave their life with dignity.”

As for remarkable cases that she has worked on, Dr. Hopkinson says that she recently treated a cat that was near death and with a very low white blood count. “Someone had put her on antibiotics, and we decided to take her off of those and put her on vitamins. She pulled through nicely, and I think cats might really have nine

lives after all!” Dr. Hopkinson says that dogs with Addison’s disease are always a challenge, as the symptoms are full blown vomiting and diarrhea and loss of appe-tite. In addition, the adrenals stop pro-ducing the hormones needed by the ani-mals. “I had three cases of Addison’s dur-ing a three month period, right after I graduated from vet school!”

Dr. Hopkinson believes that continuing to educate peo-ple about the importance of having their pets spayed and neutered is most important. “We must teach them that there is help out there if they need to have their pets spayed or neutered, and the lesson has to begin with the message that it is not appropriate to dump off unwanted pets at farms and other areas.” Hopkinson says that the control of feral cats is a constant struggle, and low cost spay and neuter clinics are the only answer to bringing the population under control.

“When I win the lottery, I will go around and spay and neuter the pets of people that need help, and I will vacci-nate the animals and help their owners find homes for the unwanted ones,” says Dr. Hopkinson. It is the voice of that same little girl that picked up injured birds and animals so very long ago.

- by Gwen Hock

“I decided when I was in third grade that I wanted to be a Veterinarian,” says Dr. Jennifer Hopkinson. “That is all that I ever wanted to be.

As a child, I was always picking up injured baby birds and other animals and trying to fix them. It has turned out to be a great profession!”

Last winter, SUN P.E.T.S. and Haven to Home (H2H) Canine Rescue Organization were presented with the opportunity to rent space at 685 Cherry Street, in Milton. This building is located behind the Con-Agra factory, and was originally used as the Mil-ton Borough fire/ambulance company’s garage and living quarters until the company moved to a newer building. Owner Tim Burns, a devoted animal lover, is using half of the building for his martial arts studio and renting the garage area to SUN P.E.T.S. and Ha-ven to Home. This was a real “find” for SUN P.E.T.S. as it allows our organization to have indoor storage / meeting space for almost the same monthly cost as a storage locker. SUN P.E.T.S. board meet-ings are now held here on the second Monday of each month at 7:00 pm. All members are invited.

SUN P.E.T.S. has also been renovating this building’s

Our goal is to hold several high-volume clin-ics at this location as well as to schedule clinics in other locations within our 3-county service area. To achieve this goal, several area businesses and individ-ual volunteers have donated services, supplies, and hours of labor to make this dream a reality. SUNP.E.T.S. is so grateful for all of the help and support by so many local business owners and volun-teers. This project could not have happened without their ingenuity, commitment and help with so many tasks and building projects. Once construction has been completed and equipment/supplies are in place, SUN P.E.T.S. will be scheduling clinics as soon as possible.
