Mr. Chip helps out at Pearson’s Corner
Recently, Pearson’s Corner Elementary School embarked on a school-wide reading campaign on January 11, 2010. To kick-off the event, the school organized several assemblies where the children met “Chip”, a former Hanover Humane Society pup. The children learned about Chip, his mom, and his brother and sisters who all were in Hanover Humane’s foster program. The children asked “Chip” questions, and then he walked around to meet all of them in the assembly hall. As a show of thanks, the children gifted “Chip” with some goodies that he could share with Hanover Humane’s foster animals. “Chip” enjoys going out in public to meet people and share information about Hanover Humane’s Adoption, Education, and Prevention Programs.

If you’d like to meet “Chip” and have him come to your special event, birthday party, etc. please email him at info@hanoverhumanesociety.org to obtai more...
Did You Know?
According to the Cornell Feline Health Center, the conventional formula for converting a cat’s age to “people years” is not accurate. Contrary to popular wisdom, a year in the life of a feline is not the same as seven years for their human caretaker. Instead, a one-year-old cat is equivalent to a 16-year-old human adolescent. A two-year-old cat is equivalent to a 21-year-old person. After that, each cat year is equivalent to four human years. Therefore, a 5-year-old cat would be 33 years old in people years. A 10-year-old cat would be 53, and a 15-year-old kitty would be 73 in human...
Never Too Early to Educate!
On March 14, 2008 HHS Board member Cathy Nault visited the preschoolers at New Hanover Presbyterian Church with a Husky mix puppy named Trixie in tow. Together, they read a book titled “Tails Are Not For Pulling” and demonstrated appropriate ways to pet and interact with a dog. The eager group of 3-5 year olds then helped the older children at the school during their “Coins for Critters” campaign. The Hanover Humane Society supported the campaign by allowing the class that raised the most money to name a dog that comes into our program. The winning class chose “Gallagher” which was assigned to a new puppy in May. Meanwhile, the preschoolers received a coloring book, crayons, magnet and literature from HHS, PetSmart and Banfield Veterinary Clinic. The teachers asked great questions and were eager to learn, too! In fact, Cathy is not sure who enjoyed the visit more, the kids or the adults! (Note: Trixie has been adopted, but at print time, Gallagher was still...
