We view dogs and cats not as mere animals, but as family members. As their guardians and custodians, it is our duty to reduce the overpopulation and suffering of abandoned and unwanted dogs and cats. We believe pet spaying and neutering is an effective way to achieve this end and we are committed to providing quality, affordable spay and neuter services for pet owners. We believe adoptable, homeless dogs and cats deserve a chance at life and to live in a loving home, and we support this ideal through animal rescuing, animal sheltering, and pet adoptions. We believe the bond between people and pets is healing, both emotionally and physically, and we provide canine companionship to residents of local nursing homes, rehab centers, and area hospitals. We believe stewardship of our animals is not innate, but learned, and we educate the pet owne 13 13 65 132 0 2720086 3508960 3425470 2555339 12965 8403 69449 53951 6227970 6126653 0 0 2721843 2993591 42956 61445 348691 1977374 1826124 4742173 4881160 1485797 1245493 4454976 5721204 339266 264420 4115710 5456784 IMPROVING THE LIVES OF ANIMALS AND PEOPLE. false false 4090395 Veterinary Clinics:Despite the pandemics disruption to business, our aggregate number of patients increased to approximately 254,641.Our unique veterinary services in 2020 included: 8,068 pet exams; 3,379 Lab Tests; 3,857 Spay & Neuter Surgeries; 609 Non-Spay & Neuter Surgeries; 1,400 Dental Services (including dental surgeries); 450 X-rays; 22,498 vaccinations, and 8,100 non-exam procedures (ear cleans, anal gland express, nail trims, et al).Animal Samaritans has several donation and grant-funded programs to help pet owners pay for the veterinary care their animals need. These programs include our Animal Care Fund for low-income pet owners, military discount fund, and our Senior Pet Wellness Program, which subsidizes pet care for senior pet owners on a limited income. As you might expect, the demand for these programs is high.No-Kill Shelter and Pet Adoptions:In 2020, we adopted out 125 dogs and 75 cats, down 22 pets from 2019. Due to the pandemic, we substituted our live pet adoption segments at KESQ TV3 and KMIR TV6 with videotaped clips of adoptable animals. The pandemic also forced a temporary freeze on our successful Dog Samaritans pet adoption partnership with The Westin Mission Hills Resort and Spa in Rancho Mirage. Thankfully, the program has resumed in 2021.During kitten and puppy seasons (spring and summer), we relied heavily on pet foster volunteers. Our Pet Foster Care Program relies on compassionate, animal-loving volunteers to house and care for shelter animals when we have no room for them. Fostering assignments may be as short as one night and as long as six months.Humane Education:In 2020, schools in our Desert Community closed in March along with many area businesses. Accordingly, our Humane Education presentations that began on January 2 stopped March 12. While schools were open, we reached 3,335 students. We also presented our humane education materials to an additional 82 people at events outside area schools for a total of 3,417 people reached. This means, due to school closures and other COVID-related measures, our educator saw 10,746 fewer people in 2020.In a typical year, our education staff visits classrooms throughout the Valley, often with a Guinea pig or pet therapy dog, and teaches grade-appropriate subjects to school children. Lesson plans include How to Be a Responsible Pet Owner, How to Be Safe Around Dogs, How to Recognize and Report Animal Cruelty, How to Show Compassion to All Living Creatures, and our popular Dont Bully Animals lesson plan.Come summertime, our Education Department normally hosts Summer Critter Camps, but in 2020 we were forced to cancel them. These camps are for children ages 7 through 12 and focus on the programs core teachings that students learn during the school year. Critter Campers also enjoy interacting with live reptiles, birds, rodents, and dogs, creating animal-themed arts and crafts, and playing animal-themed games.Animal Companion Therapy:Not surprisingly, the pandemic also interrupted our Animal Companion Therapy (ACT) program last year. In a normal year, members of our ACT program bring their therapy dogs to various venues looking for some unconditional pet affection and companionship for their residents and clients.During the first two and a half months of 2020, our ACT members gave 277 volunteer hours to the program, consisting of roughly 50 hours with local hospital patients, 100 with residents of local assisted living and nursing home facilities, and 115 in places such as high schools, colleges, libraries, homes for troubled youth, and safe havens for victims of domestic abuse.During this brief pre-COVID period, they visited 36 different locations, including hospitals, nursing homes, special needs facilities, schools, and hospitals and saw more than 6,000 clients.These facilities included: Atria Assisted Living, Bella Villagio Senior Living, Brookdale Rehab Center, Eisenhower Memory Care, Desert Rose Skilled Nursing Facility, Safe House of the Desert, Palm Desert High School, Desert Regional Medical Center, John F. Kennedy Hospital, and many more.Animal Rescue:Now in its 10th year, the Adoption Alliance Animal Rescue Program has saved more than 13,700 adoptable, at-risk dogs and cats. Last year, while animal control agencies here and around the country were restricted to emergency animal intake only, our rescue program saved 588 adoptable, at-risk animals, or an average of 49 per month.Specifically, the numbers for 2020 show we rescued 395 dogs, 137 puppies, 12 adult cats, 29 kittens, and 15 additional pets, which included turtles and tortoises, domesticated chickens, rabbits, guinea pigs, a pot-bellied pig, a senior horse, and a hedgehog. 4090395 true true false false false false false false false true true false false false false false true false false false false false false true true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 16 0 true 65 true false false false false false true true false 0 false false false false false false false X 13 13 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true true true false CA X X SHEILA PRESTON 7606013989 72120 PETLAND PL THOUSAND PALMS CA 922762950 ROBERT MILLS Veterinarian, DVM 40.00 0.00 128462 0 0 TOM SNYDER CEO 40.00 0.00 X 122531 0 0 ROLLAND REGNERY Veterinarian, DVM 40.00 0.00 120456 0 0 NANCY CARLSON Veterinarian, DVM 40.00 0.00 106045 0 0 BRIAN REGAN Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 DEA FRANCK Secretary 3.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 MARK DODGE Vice President 3.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 PATRICK EVANS Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 SANDY BEAKEY Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 BARBARA FLANAGAN Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 MARCIA ERICKSON Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 LANNY SEESE Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 LEN BETZ President 5.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 BERT GARLAND Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 JOHN SCHOOLER Treasurer 3.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 MARIA MACHUCA Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 AURORA WILSON Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 477494 4 false false false 0 528500 2980460 2032 3508960 CLINIC INCOME 2555339 2555339 2555339 17560 17560 0 0 0 9157 -9157 -9157 -9157 112663 58712 53951 53951 0 0 0 6126653 2563742 53951 X 0 0 0 0 122531 104151 12253 6127 0 2439729 2065823 255608 118298 59943 49226 7040 3677 151315 120514 21047 9754 220073 178751 30662 10660 0 11175 7450 3725 14576 10412 2082 2082 0 61445 61445 0 209323 156481 52842 27894 16309 11585 43764 30681 8531 4552 24725 7653 1351 15721 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 202719 182447 10136 10136 52361 37401 7480 7480 MEDICINES 271538 271538 REPAIRS & MAINTENANCE 176778 139745 24040 12993 MEDICAL SUPPLIES 138348 138348 LABORATORY 117991 117991 534932 455474 58119 21339 4881160 4090395 442074 348691 297729 176739 275995 1441151 0 31441 13606 0 0 0 24031 90086 13763 25820 4946060 2257269 2509080 2688791 1212525 1253511 0 0 0 90412 31500 4454976 5721204 295748 263068 26518 1352 17000 339266 264420 X 3531122 4902862 584588 553922 4115710 5456784 4454976 5721204 1245493 95581 X false true X true false X 666691 1058198 1418503 2720086 3508960 9372438 2920544 3229476 3308888 3425470 2555339 15439717 0 0 0 3587235 4287674 4727391 6145556 6064299 24812155 0 0 24812155 2336 9767 14536 12965 17560 57164 0 2336 9767 14536 12965 17560 57164 0 20212 104125 24867 69449 53951 272604 3609783 4401566 4766794 6227970 6135810 25141923 0.98690 0.98760 0.00230 0.00200 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 266111 24088 290199 236677 8115 21319 266111 250000 -11397 1926 236677 1.00000 true false false 49573 49573 2570918 660895 1910023 1009515 456530 552985 1062346 926339 136007 253708 213505 40203 2688791 6290103 95581 95581 6194522 -67869 -67869 6126653 4949029 67869 67869 4881160 4881160 Part V, Line 4: Intended uses of the endowment fund.
