THE ORGANIZATION STRIVES TO CREATE A WORLD WHERE EVERY LOVING DOG AND CAT HAS A HOME, WHERE EVERY LONELY PERSON HAS A COMPANION ANIMAL, AND WHERE CHILDREN LEARN TO CARE. false false 2481888 802445 ANIMAL CARE & ADOPTIONS:This year, ARF adopted 2,665 cats and dogs. Each animal is behaviorally and medically evaluated, medically treated as needed, spayed or neutered, and microchipped prior to adoption. Dogs and cats are well cared for and safe at ARF while they await new loving homes. 2076357 702460 CLINIC:ARFs clinic provides medical care and surgeries for animals rescued and adopted out by the organization. Through its public spay and neuter programs, ARF reduces the oversupply of companion animals by preventing breeding of pets in Contra Costa County, and provides low-cost spay and neuter surgeries to community members and other rescue organizations. Through ARFs mobile Clinic, low-cost spay and neuter surgeries are provided to the public. ARF performed 3,900 surgeries this year which helps break the cycle of companion animal overpopulation. The mobile Clinic also provides free wellness care, vaccinations, and spay and neuter surgeries to pets belonging to veterans of the U.S. military at local VA campuses, and charitably provided services to 845 pets. Through ARFs Emergency Medical Fund, 133 veterinary care exams were provided for 102 cats and dogs belonging to low income residents of Contra Costa County, California, helping to keep pets in their existing homes. 1611678 140840 735277 COMMUNITY PROGRAMS:ARFs Community Outreach includes the annual industry conference, Business of Saving Lives, which had 190 attendees from 51 different organizations; Emergency Preparedness initiatives; FoodShare, which delivered 166,320 pounds of pet food and litter; Safety Net, which prevented the surrender of 537 dogs and cats to public shelters through counseling and financial assistance to at-risk families; and Resource Center that responded to 2,194 animal-related inquiries from the public. ARFs Pet Hug Pack visiting animal programs 203 therapy animals and their volunteer handlers provided comfort and animal-assisted intervention to 70,899 people in hospitals, hospice, long-term care centers, schools, libraries, and other facilities. ARFs annual Animals on Broadway welcomed more than 4,000 visitors, many with their four-legged animals, to visit booths for other community animal rescue groups, view adoptable animals, and to participate in pet wellness offerings. ARFs Pets and Vets program matches VA-referred veterans who suffer from PTSD with specially selected shelter dogs at no cost. The program then leads teams through a 10 month-long intensive program which directs the veterans in training their dogs to become their own skilled service animals. Veterans experience the therapeutic benefits of living with a dog as they learn and train as a team in a structured class environment in comradery with other veterans. ARF also provided 2,520 pounds of free pet food and assistance with veterinary expenses to veteran clients. This year, 34 dogs were placed with veterans and 19 teams graduated from the program as full-fledged service dog teams. 707890 395800 6877813 true true false false false false false false false true true false false false false true true false false false false false false false true false false true false true false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false true 36 0 true 154 true false false false false false false true true false 0 false false false true false false false false false false X 12 12 true false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true true true false CA X X ELAINE DURKIN FINANCE DIR 9252963155 2890 MITCHELL DRIVE WALNUT CREEK CA 94598 TONY LA RUSSA Chairman 25.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 GREGORY L MCCOY ESQ President 6.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 JENNIFER HALL Vice President 1.50 0.00 X X 0 0 0 TIMOTHY KRISCH Director 1.50 0.00 X 0 0 0 NEAL MITCHELL Treasurer 0.50 0.00 X X 0 0 0 STEVE PARRISH Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 JOHN STEINER Director 0.50 0.00 X 0 0 0 STEVE DEGNAN Director 0.50 0.00 X 0 0 0 KARA CARTER Secretary 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 BIANCA LARUSSA Director 0.50 0.00 X 0 0 0 JIM HEIM Director 1.50 0.00 X 0 0 0 DAYNA SAYRES Director 0.50 0.00 X 0 0 0 ELENA BICKER Executive Dir. 40.00 0.00 X 299770 0 7098 STEPHANIE ERICKSON OP.
