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 10 10 60 108 0 1418503 2720086 3308888 3425470 14536 12965 24867 69449 4766794 6227970 0 0 2447305 2721843 32850 42956 310103 1849807 1977374 4329962 4742173 436832 1485797 4477394 4454976 1955881 339266 2521513 4115710 IMPROVING THE LIVES OF ANIMALS AND PEOPLE. false false 4006107 Veterinary Services & Animal Shelter/Adoption CenterVeterinary Clinics:Demand for our veterinary services continues to rise. In 2019, Animal Samaritans veterinary clinics served 64,584 pet owners, an increase of 9,191 over 2018. Our aggregate number of clients increased to approximately 240,462.Our unique veterinary services in 2019 included: 9,858 pet exams; 4,181 Lab Tests; 6,090 Spay & Neuter Surgeries; 206 Non-Spay & Neuter Surgeries; 2,005 Dental Services (including dental surgeries); 549 X-rays; 42,984 vaccinations, and 12,252 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 Animal Shelter & Adoption Center:In 2019, our small no-kill animal shelter was hit by an airborne fungal infection that forced us to postpone adoptions, quarantine and treat our pets for November and December. In addition to treating all the animals daily and sanitizing the entire shelter with disinfectants, in early 2020 we replaced the shelters airducts and A/C units. As a result of the fungal outbreak, our pet adoptions in November and December were few and came from off-site locations. For the year, we adopted out 163 dogs and 59 cats, up 4 pets from 2018 despite being closed for adoptions the last two months. As mentioned earlier, we are embarking on a capital campaign to build a much-needed Pet Adoption & Humane Education Center.To reach prospective new adopters, we continued to use our relationships with KESQ TV3, KMIR TV6 and Alpha Media to highlight our adoptable shelter animals. We also, brought in a Marketing & Public Relations Intern from nearby California State University San Bernardino, Palm Desert Campus to increase our presence on social media and increase the visibility of our adoptable pets.Additionally, we continued our popular dog adoption partnership with The Westin Mission Hills Resort and Spa in Rancho Mirage, where we showed an adoptable shelter dog for adoption in their resort lobby. On average, one of our shelter dogs was adopted from the Westin every 2 weeks. 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.Community Outreach ProgramsHumane Education:In 2019, our Humane Educators saw 13,900 students from the Deserts three school districts, and an additional 263 adults & children at community events for a total of 4,163 educational visits. This was an increase of 3,094 students over 2018, thanks to the addition of a second part-time educator. They brought live animals into the classrooms, often a Guinea pig or pet therapy dog. She discussed grade-appropriate subjects with the school children, such as how to be a responsible pet owner, how to be safe around dogs, how to recognize and report animal cruelty and abuse, and how to show respect to all living creatures, and our popular Anti-Bullying of Animals lesson plan. With the help of our dedicated volunteers, our Education Department hosted five Critter Camps over the summer. 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 enjoyed interacting with live reptiles, birds, rodents, and dogs, creating animal-themed arts and crafts, and playing animal-themed games. Animal Companion Therapy (ACT):Our Animal Companion Therapy (ACT) program is coordinated by a staff member and therapy visits are made by dedicated dog owners and their canine companions. Before being accepted into the program, canine candidates must pass their Canine Good Citizen training and behavioral testing from a certified animal trainer. In 2019 our ACT members gave more than 1,400 volunteer hours to the program, uplifting the lives of children with disabilities, the elderly, and the sick. Visits roughly 300 hours with local hospital patients, 650 with residents of local assisted living and nursing home facilities, and 500 in places such as high schools, colleges, libraries, homes for troubled youth and safe havens for victims of domestic violence.They visited more than 40 different hospitals, nursing homes, special needs facilities, schools, and hospitals and saw more than 19,000 clients. These facilities included visits to residents at Brookdale and Atria Assisted Living facilities; Desert Regional, Eisenhower and JFK Hospitals; local memory care facilities; rehabilitation centers; California State University San Bernardino; local high schools; Shelter from the Storm; Safe House and dozens of community events. Adoption Alliance Animal Rescue:Now in its 9th year, the Adoption Alliance Animal Rescue Program has saved more than 13,000 adoptable, at-risk dogs and cats. Last year, with the help of many devoted volunteers, our rescue program saved 859 adoptable, at-risk animals, or an average of 72 per month. Specifically, the numbers for 2019 show we rescued 374 dogs, 261 puppies, 14 adult cats,105 kittens, and 47 additional pets, which included turtles and tortoises, domesticated chickens, rabbits, guinea pigs, and a goat. We also directly placed an additional 8 dogs and cats with new owners. Community Cat Program: The year 2019 marked the third and final year of involvement in the Community Cat Program, a three-year initiative to reduce the overpopulation of homeless cats and kittens and reduce the euthanasia of felines at the Riverside County Animal Shelter (RCAS). In 2015, Best Friends Animal Society awarded a million dollar grant to Palm Springs Animal Shelter, who requested our assistance with spaying and neutering community cats. In March 2016, we began fixing unaltered cats. For the past three years, cat trappers from Best Friends, Loving All Animals, and Palm Springs Animal Shelter identified cat colonies, trapped unfixed cats, and brought a majority of them to Animal Samaritans for spaying and neutering (and additional medical attention when needed). Afterwards, the program trappers would return the altered cats to their colonies or place of origin. (Palm Springs Animal Shelter spayed and neutered a portion of the cats as well.) After three years, through our combined team efforts, we spayed and neutered nearly 11,000 cats and reduced shelter deaths at RCAS by more than 5,000 animals. 4006107 true true false false false false false false false true true false false false true false true false false false false false false true true false false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false true 9 0 true 60 true false false false false false true true false 0 false false false false false false false X 10 10 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 TOM SNYDER CEO 40.00 0.00 X 106058 0 3279 BRIAN REGAN Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 DEA FRANCK Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 MARK DODGE Vice President 3.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 BARRY KAUFMAN Treasurer 3.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 SANDY BEAKEY Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 BARBARA FLANAGAN Secretary 3.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 MARCIA ERICKSON Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 LANNY SEESE Director 3.00 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 T SCHOOLER Treasurer 3.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 106058 3279 1 false false false 0 1575 2718511 44419 2720086 CLINIC INCOME 3425470 3425470 3425470 12965 12965 0 0 0 0 236891 167442 69449 0 0 0 6227970 3438435 0 0 0 0 109337 87470 16400 5467 0 2173932 1843349 231977 98606 60263 47796 10084 2383 181191 143593 32848 4750 197120 159309 28105 9706 0 3691 2461 1230 12725 9089 1818 1818 0 42956 42956 0 221744 193963 1286 26495 86815 45830 40985 44520 29698 9123 5699 20293 9591 1693 9009 0 0 13868 11218 2017 633 0 0 68700 54960 6870 6870 0 199273 179345 9964 9964 52500 37502 7498 7500 MEDICINES 374602 374602 MEDICAL SUPPLIES 163830 163830 LABORATORY 163131 163131 BANK FEES/CREDIT CARD FEES 91879 83610 160 8109 459803 365760 64890 29153 4742173 4006107 425963 310103 243155 297729 822420 275995 0 61006 31441 0 0 0 22966 24031 43638 13763 4619638 2110558 2633297 2509080 650912 1212525 0 0 0 90412 4477394 4454976 226705 295748 1695176 26518 34000 17000 1955881 339266 X 2016120 3531122 505393 584588 2521513 4115710 4477394 4454976 1485797 108400 X false true X true false X 1168014 666691 1058198 1418503 2720086 7031492 3060952 2920544 3229476 3308888 3425470 15945330 0 0 0 4228966 3587235 4287674 4727391 6145556 22976822 0 0 22976822 7116 2336 9767 14536 12965 46720 0 7116 2336 9767 14536 12965 46720 22831 20212 104125 24867 69449 241484 0 4258913 3609783 4401566 4766794 6227970 23265026 0.98760 0.98800 0.00200 0.00170 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 236677 8115 21319 266111 250000 -11397 1926 236677 1.00000 true false false 49573 49573 2570918 594974 1975944 753628 430450 323178 985603 872384 113219 259916 212750 47166 2509080 SERVICE CONTRACTS PAYABLE 17000 17000 6503812 108400 108400 6395412 -167442 -167442 6227970 4909615 167442 167442 4742173 4742173 Part V, Line 4: Intended uses of the endowment fund.
