FORM 990, PART I, LINE 1 ORGANIZATION'S SIGNIFICANT ACTIVITIES: (CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1) ... OR ANY OTHER HUMANE SOCIETY, AND WE DO NOT RECEIVE GENERAL OPERATING FUNDS FROM THE CITY, STATE, OR COUNTY. The SPCA of Texas was incorporated by Texas State Charter on September 22, 1938. We are ALMOST 80 YEARS old, but we trace our roots to the late nineteenth century. The June 30, 1888 issue of the Dallas Morning News stated that the Dallas Humane Society (the SPCA of Texas' forerunner) was the first humane society in the state of Texas. In 1993, the Dallas SPCA, based in Dallas County, and the Humane Society of Texas, based in Collin County, merged to become the SPCA of Texas. The mission of the SPCA of Texas is to provide every animal exceptional care and a loving home. Today, the SPCA of Texas is the leading animal welfare organization in North Texas. The independent non-profit operates two animal shelters, a rescue center and an equine/livestock center: the DALLAS Animal Care Center in West Dallas, the Ellis County Animal Care Center in Waxahachie AND the Russell E. Dealey Animal Rescue Center in West Dallas, and the equine/livestock center in McKinney, Texas. These facilities provided shelter, rehabilitation and care for unwanted animals, which come to the SPCA of Texas from a variety of sources: after being held as strays from ellis county and unincorporated dallas county, surrendered by their owners, transferred from municipal shelters where time and space is limited, transferred from other shelters in the wake of natural disasters, or rescued and awarded to the SPCA of Texas in cases of abuse or neglect. The SPCA of Texas does not place time limits on animals accepted by its shelters and does not euthanize animals for lack of space. The shelters also serve as adoption centers where the public can meet and adopt pets. Adoptable shelter pets are spayed or neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, and kept healthy and happy by SPCA of Texas shelter veterinarians, shelter staff, and dedicated volunteers. Together with community partners for mobile and offsite adoptions, and assisted by generous partnerships with north Texas media, the SPCA of Texas found loving homes for more than 3,100 animals in 2022. The SPCA of Texas operates two low-cost veterinary clinics, the Myron K. Martin Spay/Neuter and Wellness Clinic in West Dallas and the Mary Spencer Spay/Neuter and Wellness Clinic at Village Fair in Southern Dallas. The clinics provide high-quality services at low costs so everyone can afford to be a responsible pet owner. SPCA of Texas veterinarians and medical teams spay or neuter, vaccinate, microchip and provide all needed medical care for every adoptable animal in its animal shelters, and also provide services to financially struggling or otherwise challenged pet owners with free or low services at the clinics and offsite at community centers and neighborhood gatherings, serving tens of thousands of animals each year. In addition, the SPCA of Texas partners with other animal welfare organizations and community funders to provide free spay/neuter surgeries, vaccinations and microchips for dogs located in specific low-income or underserved neighborhoods in Southern Dallas. In 2022, the SPCA of Texas spayed/neutered more than 9,000 pets and saw more than 10,000 general public wellness clients. Additionally, the SPCA of Texas fields a team of three full-time Humane Investigators, a Chief Investigator, a Case Manager and a Veterinarian who rescued more than 1,200 animals from cruelty and neglect across three North Texas counties and the city of Dallas in 2022. The investigators work with local law enforcement to investigate cruelty and rescue animals from abusive and life-threatening situations. Typical cases include puppy mills, animal hoarding, animal fighting, and abandoned livestock, as well as individual animals that are starving or injured. In addition, the SPCA of Texas partnerED with the Dal County District Attorney's Office's Animal Cruelty Unit and the Dallas Police Department to assist with investigating animal cruelty cases gather evidence, and bring the cases to trial. The SPCA of Texas employs approximately 160 North Texans. Over 1300 dedicated volunteers assist in animal care, pet and people programs, and fundraising. IN 2022 THE SPCA of texas WELCOMED 837 NEW foster volunteers WHO cared for over 1,300 animals in their homes in 2022. Tens of thousands of donors provide vital financial support through their annual gifts and estate plans. Giving to the SPCA of Texas is an investment. As a Four Star-rated charity on Charity Navigator and Guidestar Platinum-level charity, donors can be confident in good governance, sound fiscal management and commitment to accountability and transparency. The SPCA of Texas has four signature events, including Paws Cause; Strut Your Mutt, the Race to End Animal Cruelty; Fur Ball; and Home for the Holidays/Bark+Build, and a host of fundraising programs make the organization's animal care work possible. Giving opportunities include general giving, honor and memorial gifts, foundation corporate sponsorships, charitable bequests, affinity programs and more.
