Our fully functioning Adoption & Care Center located inside the PetSmart houses up to 21 dogs and 9 cats and is open seven days a week. Fiscal 2017 saw the total number of EAC adoptions since inception hit 1000. Behavior, training, agility and specialty classes increase the ability of adopters to effectively communicate with their pet, enhancing the human animal bond, as well as developing enrichment activities to help shelter animals cope with the stress and anxiety of life in a kennel. Our Behavior and Training Department enrolled 506 students (new and continuing) reflecting a 5% increase over the prior year, spent concentrated time with 883 dogs and cats, performed assessments of 373 dogs for the shelters and 124 dogs for Humane Education programs as well as 105 handling assessments, answered 678 behavior hotline calls and e-mails, taught 17 HEAL Level Training classes for volunteers, 15 staff trainings covering multiple dog handling techniques, and taught 87 hands-on classes such as Adoption Academy, All-Star Agility, and Shelter Scents providing out-of-kennel activities for 175 shelter dogs. 642146 9701 Animal Protection Service program (APS) investigates animal cruelty cases throughout California, and assists in the prosecution of individuals and organizations who neglect or abuse animals. This year the APS staff fielded 2,447 calls which resulted in 1,225 formal complaints. Officers checked on the health and welfare of over 16,909 animals, resulting in the seizure of 10 animals. Of the 8 criminal cases investigated, 2 were filed with the District Attorney's Office, 2 were filed with the City Attorney's Office, 2 resulted in convictions, and 3 cases are pending, 1 with the U.S. Attorney, 1 with the State Attorney General, and 1 with the City Attorney. The Disaster Animal Response Team (DART), a blend of staff and volunteers, rescues and provides temporary shelter and front-line veterinary care for animals during emergencies both local and national. The DART Team was activated in 2017 to assist Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department and Los Angeles County Animal Control in a four-day operation to takedown the largest cockfighting ring in United States history with the discovery of 7,852 game fowl. DART is working with the Los Angeles County Office of Emergency Management in the development of the Animal Emergency, Landslide and Dam Failure Annexes. DART members also obtained training from the Los Angeles County Fire Department and Urban Search and Rescue in large animal rescues.The Animal Safety Net program provides an undisclosed safe haven for pets of battered individuals who fear leaving their pets behind where they are vulnerable to harm by a violent partner. This year the program helped 39 families (including 33 children) housing 47 dogs, 22 cats in loving homes while their human families received much needed emotional support from domestic violence shelters and professional counselors. In addition, the ASN Program received a $100,00 grant from the Annenberg Foundation to help support and expand the program. APS staff members reached the community in varied ways in FY2017. Humane Officers presented at 4 Humane Education summer camp presentations to educate and explain animalcruelty laws and proper animal husbandry to children. Humane Officers also presented 4 similar presentations to Japanese tour groups who visited spcaLA facilities.APS was also invited to Washington, DC, to be part of a Law Enforcement & Canine Encounters forum held by the United States Department of Justice, Office of Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS), in partnership with Strategic Applications International (SAI) to ensure the safety of officers, the public and canines during calls of service. 872776 323791 The internationally acclaimed Teaching Love and Compassion (TLC) program is designed to instill empathy into at-risk youth while simultaneously providing anger management skills and conflict resolution tools to use in lieu of violence. FY2017 saw TLC reach a milestone of 100 classes completed! This program uses shelter dogs as the medium for these effects. Thirty-eight dogs and 76 students participated in one of 9 programs held this year. It is a cure for violent behavior as it aims to restore empathy where it has lapsed. JTLC, a shorter version of TLC, is a court mandated program that is offered to qualified convicted juvenile offenders who participated in animal abuse or some kind of violent behavior. Working with the Office of the District Attorney, the judiciary, the defense bar and the probations department, this program held 8 sessions and produced 33 graduates in fiscal 2017. In addition, Humane Education continued teaching the Elective Programs (EP). The EP is a 16-week, in-school elective program for students in grades 6-8 and teaches the power of empathy and non-violent choices through lessons on responsibility, diversity, tolerance, and kindness. A total of 55 students completed the program this year. In addition, H.E. collaborated with a team from Marymount University and the Animal Welfare Institute to develop a research study on our Diversion (jTLC) Program; data collection will begin during the 2017-2018 fiscal year.Now in its 14th year, Friends for Life Summer Camp had 332 campers (ages 8-13) and 67 Counselors-in-Training (ages 14-17) learning respect and compassion for all living things. Camp activities include hands-on dog training-an activity that makes shelter dogs more adoptable-as well as puppy and kitten handling. Humane Educators spoke at three Domestic Violence (DV) Centers regarding the ASN program and its components, reaching 30 advocates for victim of domestic violence. On-line presentations were available for download in both English and Spanish for teachers to use in their classrooms throughout the United States and many foreign countries. The Girl Scout merit badge Pet Care Workshops (PCWs) continued to be in high demand. 34171 1400 Approximately 418 volunteers donated a total of 43,386 hours of their time in a variety of different capacities. Many participated in the HEAL (Helping Enhance Animals' Lives) and the Cat Care programs promoting good manners and obedience with our dogs and clicker-training with the cats. These programs provide stimulation for the shelter animals, helping reduce stress and anxiety, thereby making the animals more attractive to potential adopters. Other volunteers participated in the Foster Care program by opening their homes to care for bottle fed newborn kittens and puppies or sick, injured, or abused animals; the Animal Assisted Therapy program , bringing animals to visit with children and adults in hospitals, homeless shelters and other facilities serving those who are disabled, ill, aged, and confined; and Humane Education programs. Additionally, volunteers assisted in the day to day care of shelter animals through cleaning, feeding and, grooming Laundry volunteers washed mountains of towels and blankets regularly. Still more volunteers did isolation puppy/dog socialization, low cost vaccine clinics, mobile adoptions, and outreach events. Finally, volunteers supported office activities, 34171 1400 5795220 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 31 0 1 107 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 9 9 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 CA X Randy Sheriff 8887722521 5026 W JEFFERSON BLVD LOS ANGELES CA 90016 ROLLIN RANSOM ESQ CHAIRMAN 1.00 X X 0 0 0 ROBERT S SPAN ESQ VICE CHAIR 1.00 X X 0 0 0 EVE M CODDON DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 RONALD B TUROVSKY DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 SAMANTHA A CALDWELL DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 BART ZITNITSKY DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 MARIANN N ETTORE CPA SECRETARY 1.00 X X 0 0 0 TODD BREWER treasuRER 1.00 X X 0 0 0 GEORGE G STRONG JR DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 DIANE EYLER EXECUTIVE V.P. 40.00 X 163179 0 25534 MADELINE BERNSTEIN PRESIDENT 40.00 X 230750 0 36057 ELIZABETH DE LA ROSA VP HUMAN RESOURCES 40.00 X 116268 0 22801 JR SITMAN DIRECTOR OF INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY 40.00 X 105809 0 19747 Brittin Ross DVM DIRECTOR OF VETERINARY SERVICES 40.00 X 102668 0 14050 718674 0 118189 5 0 1 0 Newport Creative Communications 21 Railroad Avenue Suite 1 Duxbury MA 02332 Direct Mailing Services 437773 1 41714 7117383 134656 7159097 BOARD & GROOMING 812900 420134 420134 ANIMAL PLACEMENT FEE 900099 391607 391607 ANIMAL SHELTER CONTRACTS 900099 330324 330324 OTHER ADOPTION CENTER CHARGES 900099 323791 323791 OTHER SHELTER CHARGES 900099 49969 49969 6131 6131 1521956 522783 522783 9566 9566 6493971 6292621 201350 201350 201350 1557 41714 512 1045 1045 355509 213039 142470 141634 836 MISCELLANEOUS 900099 8743 8743 8743 9567010 1252199 420970 734744 424721 335530 67955 21236 3142259 2458543 511323 172393 149205 112602 32217 4386 738699 598651 88732 51316 278520 239641 24210 14669 27700 27700 102457 30194 23134 49129 74683 74683 135550 112691 11600 11259 60944 59814 438 692 17885 14482 2428 975 68819 68705 114 131731 116777 11096 3858 36216 28038 5357 2821 9473 9458 15 361275 337736 21886 1653 259137 234540 21471 3126 VETERINARY SERVICES and 316639 316639 Direct Mail Components 287260 287260 EQUIP RENTAL & MAINTENA 222567 196297 20187 6083 BANK & CREDIT CARD FEES 197451 177223 20228 604569 347659 52454 204456 7647760 5795220 996985 855555 491877 1104969 2317590 3021799 108477 84743 153913 130418 67322 54391 14022952 5861479 8440121 8161473 14423202 16917608 7218258 7137945 1750 1750 33222510 36615096 509837 344865 7000000 7000000 7509837 7344865 X 24428996 27910823 1105095 1180826 178582 178582 25712673 29270231 33222510 36615096 1919250 1638308 0 X X 0 1 X 1 0 X 6105834 4074333 4970538 5070394 7159097 27380196 1183308 1225942 1339468 1376346 1455539 6580603 3047 15431 1557 20035 7292189 5315706 6310006 6446740 8616193 33980834 15375 18395 15000 20075 15100 83945 9119 25417 34536 15375 27514 15000 20075 40517 118481 33862353 370854 384151 433442 541294 532349 2262090 326137 334378 400985 457114 420970 1939584 696991 718529 834427 998408 953319 4201674 7185 13851 10336 12008 8743 52123 7996365 6048086 7154769 7457156 9578255 38234631 0.88560 0.88610 0.10990 0.10840 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 0 0 178582 178582 178582 178582 178582 178582 178582 178582 178582 178582 1.00000 0 0 799204 799204 10650489 3963787 6686702 1289823 822804 467019 495994 411288 84706 787442 663600 123842 8161473 ALTERNATIVE INVESTMENTS 206837 F FEDERAL AGENCY SECURITIES 99279 F CORPORATE BONDS & NOTES 6831829 F 7137945 X 11134677 1638308 5000 -20 1643288 9491389 74683 938 75621 9567010 7577119 5000 -938 4062 7573057 74683 20 74703 7647760 Part V, Line 4: INCOME GENERATED BY THE ENDOWMENT IS TO BE USED TO SUPPORT THE ORGANIZATION'S MISSION.

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 12c Conflict of Interest Policy - For members of the Board of Directors of the Los Angeles SPCA/Southern California Humane Society The Los Angeles SPCA/Southern California Humane Society (hereafter LASPCA) is engaged in a variety of activities that have the common goal of promoting the interests of the LASPCA. The activities of the LASPCA are often conducted in conjunction with programs and contractual arrangements that involve other parties and organizations. The LASPCA's reputation and relationships with outside organizations and individuals, as well as its relationships among its Directors and donors, are of utmost importance. In addition, these relationships are often the product of substantial investments of the LASPCA's resources, energies and efforts. The LASPCA therefore has a strong interest in all of its activities and must maintain policies that are designed to protect its financial interests. A key policy is that members of the Board of Directors, as fiduciaries of the LASPCA, must comply with this conflict of interest policy. The policy recognizes that the LASPCA has the obligation and the right to insist upon the undivided loyalty of its Directors throughout the term of their service. In keeping with this obligation, the LASPCA requires the following commitments from its Directors, subject to the provisions of all applicable federal, state and local laws: 1. Every Director has a legal and ethical responsibility to promote the LASPCA's best interests. No Director may engage in any conduct or activities that are inconsistent with the LASPCA's best interests or that in any manner disrupts, undermines or impairs the LASPCA's relationships with any LASPCA supporter or donor, or any outside organization, person or entity with which the company has or proposes to enter into an arrangement, agreement or contractual relationship of any kind. 2. Directors must not, either during or subsequent to the term of their service, interfere with, disrupt or impair any relationship between the LASPCA and any employee, consultant, representative or any outside organization with which the LASPCA has or proposes to enter into a contractual relationship, arrangement or program. 3. Directors, including a director's spouse or immediate family member, may not engage in any outside activity or accept a position in any outside organization that either interferes with their ability to devote their full and best efforts to the LASPCA's interests or raises an actual or potential conflict of interest or the possible appearance of a conflict of interest. Activities which may raise an actual or potential conflict of interest include, but not limited to, the following: (a) Accepting employment from, serving on the Board of or providing services directly or indirectly to any charitable or humane organization, or any organization or person acting on behalf of such charitable or humane organization, whose interests may conflict with the interests of the LASPCA; (b) Having a direct or indirect financial interest in or relationship with another charitable or humane organization whose interests may conflict with the interests of the LASPCA, except that ownership of less than 1% of the publicly traded stock of a corporation will not be considered a conflict; (c) Engaging in any activity having the effect of diverting any opportunity due the LASPCA to any other charitable, humane or other organization or person; (d) Committing the LASPCA to give its financial or other support to any outside charitable or humane organization or political religious or other group or activity without proper approval; or (e) Using proprietary or confidential LASPCA information for personal gain or to the LASPCA's detriment. As used herein, "Director" includes the Director and the Director's spouse and immediate family members. The Executive Committee of the Board of Directors of the LASPCA reserves the right to determine that other relationships that are not specifically covered by this policy represent actual or potential conflicts of interest. 4. Directors have an affirmative obligation to notify the Chairman of the Board of Directors if the Director (or the Director's spouse or an immediate family member) becomes involved in any activity that might raise a conflict of interest. Directors who have any questions whatsoever regarding this policy or the potential impact of outside activities on their position as Directors should contact the Chairman of the Board before engaging in such activities. The Executive Committee will review and determine conflict of interest issues. The review shall be made a matter of record. Any Director (including any Executive Committee member) who is the subject of a conflict of interest review may not participate in any vote on the matter or be counted in determining the quorum for any Board meeting at which the disclosure is considered. The minutes of the Board meeting will reflect the disclosure and the result of the Executive Committee's review. In any case in which the Executive Committee determines that a relationship between a Director (including the Director's spouse or immediate family member) and an outside organization or individual presents an actual or potential conflict of interest, the Executive Committee shall bring the issue to a meeting of the Board of Directors. The Board may by majority vote take whatever action it determines to be appropriate to avoid or prevent the continuation of the actual or potential conflict of interest. Such action may include, but is not limited to, the right to remove any Director from the Board.
