Our four primary program areas are rescue, rehabilitation, re-homing and community engagement.Rescuing and rehabilitation involves a variety of activities. We bring dogs and cats into our facility from many sources. Owner surrenders accounted for 65% of our intakes last year. These families, for a variety of reasons find it necessary to give up their dog or cat. Transfers from other shelters, primarily municipal, who are open intake and required to euthanize for space accounted for 30% of our intakes in 2018. The final 5% are a result of cruelty seizures, assistance with natural disasters such as Hurricane Harvey or animals abandoned at our shelter. In 2018, we rescued almost 900 dogs and cats.The average length of stay (los) in our shelter last year was 29 days for dogs and 45 for cats. The cost to care for a dog during an average los is $900 and a cat is $500. This includes the cost of food, initial medical care such as spay/neuter, vaccinations and disease testing, micro-chipping, housing costs and staff time for things like cleaning, and enrichment and training activities which are vital to keep animals in good mental health during a stay in a shelter environment.When we re-home dogs or cats, we work hard to make sure adopters and animals are a good fit for each other. Our adoption counselors and pet care specialists talk with adopters about their lifestyle (do they have kids, are they active, etc.), what they're looking for in a dog or cat and then offer suggestions about which animals in our shelter might best fit into their homes. Basic care and training is discussed as well as any special medical needs. After families go home, we follow up with them at regular intervals to see how things are going and if we can provide any assistance. Since the largest percentage of our intakes come from owner surrenders, keeping animals in their homes is a big focus for us. If we can reduce the number of owners who want to surrender their animals, we will be able to pull more from open admission shelters like TAW and help reduce the euthanasia rate in our community to save more animals.Community engagement at the Tulsa SPCA takes many forms. Medically, in 2018 we served over 3,700 dogs and cats through low-cost medical services such as spay/neuter, vaccinations, micro-chipping, and minor needs clinics. Oftentimes, clients decision to surrender an animal is due to lack of funds to provide basic care. Services such as these make sure dogs and cats remain healthy and are able to stay in their homes with families who love them. Our staff is also present in schools from pre-k to college. We offer presentations on topics like proper care and treatment for animals and anti-bullying. There is a documented link between animal abuse and abuse against humans. Research shows, teaching children empathy leads to decreased bullying and it is easier to first teach children to be empathetic to animals. We visit colleges to do things such as offer an area to de-stress during final exams. Visits to nursing homes, hospitals and hospices through our Pets Are Love (PAL) program began some time ago and research now supports what we have seen for years. Animals provide documented health benefits both physical (decreased blood pressure, cholesterol and triglycerides) and mental (decreased feelings of loneliness and a stress causing hormone called cortisol and increased levels or serotonin which is associated with happiness and contentment). Additionally, we have a cruelty investigator on staff who investigated over 800 complaints in 2018. Although Oklahoma does not give us the ability to take legal action against anyone, our investigator goes out to investigate reports from the public about suspected neglect or cruelty. His focus is education and providing assistance but when necessary, submitting a report to the authorities for further investigation and potential prosecution. This year, we continued delivering dog food through our cruelty program and for the year assisted over 700 animals, giving out over 8,000 lbs of food. By delivering food to the household we can assess the situation and can then offer assistance or education on any other issues noticed at the time of delivery.We do all of this with private donations. Local SPCAs like us are NOT a part of a national organization and do not regularly receive funding from them. 1113934 true true false false false false false false false true true false false true false false true false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false true 22 0 true 52 true false false false false false false true true false 0 false false false false false false false false false false false false X 16 16 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true true false false OK X Mindy Tiner 9184287722 PO Box 581898 Tulsa OK 74110 Bill Nance Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Julie Brugger Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Kip Herburger III Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Kjerstie Johnson Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Brooke Ellis Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Dillon Waters Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Mary Green Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Lacy Wulfers Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Faith Orlowski Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Lesley Stone Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Jen Bladen Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Jene Harmon President 4.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Charlotte Henry Vice President 3.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Nicole Trantham Past President 4.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Jessica Luong Secretary 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Susan Rogers Treasurer 4.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Mindy Tiner Executive Dir. 40.00 0.00 X 75653 0 0 75653 0 false false false Builders Unlimited Inc PO Box 471650 Tulsa OK 74147 Construction 548513 1 21228 384637 59045 405865 Animal Care 541900 238991 238991 238991 66279 66279 0 0 1800 1800 1800 1800 1650 1650 1650 1650 93407 21228 32706 60701 0 0 Change in assets held 541900 -89133 -89133 Land head right income 541900 11211 11211 Miscellaneous income 541900 52218 52218 -25704 749582 213287 69729 0 0 0 0 75653 64305 10591 757 0 590170 577057 12589 524 0 23089 7917 15165 7 48163 46366 1703 94 0 0 3850 3850 0 0 0 8804 4164 4451 189 0 57756 31797 24560 1399 12979 8847 3902 230 0 34444 33205 1239 8228 4525 3497 206 0 0 0 0 30602 29072 1530 33023 31576 1375 72 Animal Expense 243278 243278 Misc Expense 23349 12650 10699 Repairs and Maintenance 15200 14705 495 Taxes and Licenses 4928 4470 434 24 0 1213516 1113934 96080 3502 27 0 1503765 824569 428687 375385 0 0 0 0 0 9868 28010 707102 405357 229285 301745 2978245 2497978 0 0 0 1268417 1981803 6418294 6009490 45288 183758 45288 183758 X 4708354 4355665 529300 334715 1135352 1135352 6373006 5825732 6418294 6009490 -463934 -83340 X true X true X true false X 681937 1286812 1361031 1522591 413879 5266250 0 0 681937 1286812 1361031 1522591 413879 5266250 0 5266250 24475 27419 20400 27512 69729 169535 0 9434 135166 140180 -25704 259076 5694861 542879 0.92470 0.93180 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 1203406 -43375 33928 1126103 1180306 63100 40000 1203406 1121859 92524 34077 1180306 1168775 30000 -40962 35954 1121859 1189775 21000 1168775 1.00000 true false false 81036 81036 334341 205207 129134 259666 195362 64304 32059 4788 27271 301745 Beneficial Interest in trusts 1126103 Construction in Progress 855700 1981803 666242 -83340 -83340 749582 749582 1213516 1213516 1213516 Part V, Line 4: Intended uses of the endowment fund.
