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 56% of our intakes in 2017. 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 35% of our intakes in 2017. The final 9% are a result of cruelty seizures, assistance with natural disasters such as Hurricane Harvey or animals abandoned at our shelter. In 2017, we rescued over 1,000 dogs and cats.The average length of stay (los) in our shelter was 27 days for dogs and 43 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, microchipping, 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.Community engagement at the Tulsa SPCA takes many forms. Medically, in 2017 we served over 3,300 dogs and cats through low-cost medical services such as spay/neuter, vaccinations, microchipping, 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 almost 750 complaints in 2017. 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 began routing requests for food assistance through our investigator. This allows him to deliver the food to the household and assess the situation. We 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. As you can see, we do so much more than just find homes for dogs or cats and hope you will be a part of our work. 946934 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 15 0 true 40 true false false false false false false true true false 0 false false false false false false false false false false X 17 17 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 2910 Mohawk Boulevard Tulsa OK 74110 Stacy Robinson Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Julie Brugger Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Jene Harmon 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 George Foldesy 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 Linda Davis Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Charlotte Henry Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Nicole Trantham President 6.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Jessica Luong Secretary 6.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Abby Lehman Vice President 4.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Susan Rogers Treasurer 6.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Mindy Tiner Executive Dir. 40.00 0.00 X 70117 0 0 70117 0 false false false 0 20807 1501784 84095 1522591 Animal Care 541900 226944 226944 226944 25712 25712 0 0 1800 1800 1800 1800 1079 1079 0 58081 20807 33824 24257 0 0 Change in value of trusts 541900 130587 130587 Land head right income 541900 9593 9593 140180 1941484 367124 27512 0 0 0 0 70117 59599 9817 701 502168 492379 9439 350 0 0 14315 14166 143 6 42001 40492 1431 78 0 0 5375 5375 0 0 0 27288 4104 22997 187 0 51289 28154 21895 1240 8938 4916 3799 223 0 33386 32143 1243 2640 1452 1122 66 0 0 0 0 18846 17904 942 22448 22021 408 19 Animal Expense 207156 207156 Misc Expense 16620 8209 8411 Repairs and Maintenance 13197 12677 520 Taxes and Licenses 2247 1562 649 36 0 1038031 946934 88191 2906 27 27 2380073 1503765 546602 428687 0 0 0 0 0 6006 9868 604040 374755 178599 229285 946210 2978245 0 0 0 1368910 1268417 5426427 6418294 19147 45288 3531 22678 45288 X 3524740 4708354 743657 529300 1135352 1135352 5403749 6373006 5426427 6418294 903453 65804 X true X true X true false X 609572 681937 1286812 1361031 1522591 5461943 0 0 609572 681937 1286812 1361031 1522591 5461943 0 5461943 14975 24475 27419 20400 27512 114781 0 9434 135166 140180 284780 5861504 251201 0.93180 0.94900 X 1180306 63100 40000 1203406 1121859 92524 34077 1180306 1168775 30000 -40962 35954 1121859 1189775 21000 1168775 1098276 134499 43000 1189775 0.03000 0.94000 0.03000 true false false 64038 64038 274456 196897 77559 259666 174636 85030 5880 3222 2658 229285 Beneficial Interest in trusts 1268417 1268417 2007288 65804 65804 1941484 1941484 1038031 1038031 1038031 Part V, Line 4: Intended uses of the endowment fund.
