Dogs rescued from meat trade arrive in southern Oregon
Pooches never
had beds before
By RYAN PFEIL

MEDFORD
—
The
new digs for eight dogs that
arrived at the Southern Oregon
Humane Society last weekend
include amenities the pooches
never have had before.
“They’ve never had beds
before. Their entire life,”
says Kailani Miranda, SoHu-
mane animal behavior super-
visor. “Never had blankets or
anything.”
The quality of life for
canines Maverick, Renata,
Hugo, Klaus, Bashful, Tommy,
Darby and Petunia certainly has
improved. They were recently
rescued from the dog meat
trade thriving in several Asian
countries such as China, South
Korea and Vietnam, according
to the Animal Welfare Institute.

Kailani Miranda, SoHumane animal behavior supervisor,
plays with Renata, one of eight dogs rescued from the
meat trade in Thailand.
The institute estimates mil-
lions of dogs are killed for food
annually, typically kept in poor,
unhygienic living conditions
such as “cramped rusty, cages
stacked on top of each other”
as they wait, the website says.
Many of the animals die from

EUGENE — The Eugene Opera has canceled
the rest of its season because of debt.
The Register-Guard reported poor ticket sales
to the opera’s most recent production contributed
to a $165,000 shortfall.
Eugene Opera General Director Mark Beudert
says the nonprofi t will focus on fundraising for
now, and he’s confi dent it won’t have to fi le for
bankruptcy or shut down.

Toast for Tails
SoHumane got involved
with the rescue at its annual
Toast for Tails fundraiser event,
where Ashland residents Jeff
Rinkoff and Janis Rosenthal
donated the airfare portion of a
travel package that brought in
$7,550 for the organization. The
winning bidder, Las Vegas res-
ident Heather Heath, was able
to travel to Thailand, where the
Soi Dog Foundation is based.
Heath picked up and “chaper-
oned” the dogs back to the San
Francisco airport, where SoHu-
mane offi cials waited to greet
the dogs and transport them
back to the Rogue Valley. They
arrived Saturday.
“That was really exciting,”
Miranda says. “They spent way
too long in those crates. The
fl ight got canceled, and they
had to stay an extra night, so to
get them and get them safe and
comfortable, it felt really good
to be able to get them off the
plane.”
Rosenthal got involved in
doing her part to fi ght the dog
meat trade after seeing a TV
news story with graphic images
of dogs being weighed before
they were sent to slaughter.
“I felt like the blood drained
out of me. It was the most hor-
rifi c thing I have ever seen,”
Rosenthal said.
Doing well
Miranda said the animals
are doing well. Some, like
Maverick and Klaus, are more
shy, while others, like Renata
and Hugo, come right up to
their cages, noses twitching
and tongues lolling greedily for
kisses.
“They’re a little bit nervous
and scared, but most of them
are very, very friendly,” she
says, adding they will be ready
to adopt soon.
SoHumane’s Saving Train
program has rescued dogs from
high-kill shelters in Califor-
nia and Hawaii. In effect since
2006, the program has saved
7,590 dogs. But this is the fi rst
time it has received animals
from Thailand.
“This is our fi rst experience
with it, and we’re delighted to
be part of it,” Evans says.

them before release, a method
of controlling overpopulation.
“By reducing the number of
unwanted animals being born,
the problem of overpopulation
decreases and the unnecessary
suffering of animals ceases,”
the Soi Dog website reads.
But the organization also
operates a shelter and animal
hospital, which takes in ani-
mals that have been abused or
are unable to survive on their
own because of age or illness.
“They rehabilitate the dogs,
bring them to their facility, get
them ready to be adopted and
then they adopt them out all
over Canada and the United
States,” SoHumane director
Karen Evans says.
Sun through high clouds
A pair of boots possibly
belonging to a woman who
went missing in Elsie were
found Sunday and turned
over to the Clatsop County
Sheriff’s Offi ce.
Brianna Renne Judge, 23,
has been missing since she
left a residence at about 9
p.m. on Jan. 10.
Deputies conducted a
ground search in the Elsie
area on Sunday but did not
fi nd any clues. Local resi-
dents found the boots on the
Highway 103 bridge near
Tweedle Road . No other
items of interest were located
following another search of
that area.
Recent weather and snow-
melts have presented chal-
lenges for searchers along
the Lower Nehalem River,
but the Sheriff’s Offi ce said
it will conduct air and river
searches this week. Anyone
with helpful information is
encouraged to call the Sher-
iff’s Offi ce at 503-325-2061.
