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 year 2016 saw a total of 256 EAC adoptions bringing the total number of adoptions since inception to 500. 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 482 students (new and continuing), spent concentrated time with 1,065 dogs and cats, performed assessments of 511 dogs for the shelters and 77 dogs for Humane Education programs as well as 159 handling assessments, answered 536 behavior hotline calls and e-mails, taught 25 HEAL Level Training classes for volunteers, 28 staff trainings covering multiple dog handling techniques, and taught 93 hands-on classes such as Adoption Academy, All-Star Agility, and Shelter Scents providing out-of-kennel activities for 355 shelter dogs. 660261 12100 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 1,283 calls which resulted in 801 formal complaints. Officers checked on the health and welfare of over 9,046 animals, resulting in the seizure of 32 animals. Of the 6 criminal cases filed, all with the District Attorney's Office, 2 resulted in convictions, 1 had an office hearings, and 3 are pending. 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 2016 to assist in rescuing animals during the Sand Fire, a wildfire that erupted in the Angeles National Forest in Los Angeles County. DART participated in one joint training to keep them at the ready, as well as career and disaster fairs.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 26 families (including 38 children) housing 28 dogs, 19 cats in loving homes while their human families received much needed emotional support from domestic violence shelters and professional counselors. APS and Behavior & Training presented two Dog Behavior for Law Enforcement courses hosted by the Hermosa Beach California Police Department training 80 police officers, detectives, supervisors, and federal Drug Enforcement Administration agents from across the state how to quickly identify the threat level presented by a dog by assessing the dog's body language thereby avoiding unnecessary shooting incidents. The response to this POST-certified program continues to be very positive and participants greatly appreciated our non-judgmental approach and the options offered. 810901 304241 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. This program uses shelter dogs as the medium for these effects. Thirty-five dogs and 64 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 38 graduates in fiscal year 15-16. 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.Now in its 13th year, Friends for Life Summer Camp had 370 campers (ages 8-13) and 46 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. 60620 Approximately 396 volunteers donated a total of 52,005 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, special events, and spcaLA outreach commitments. 60620 5858068 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 37 0 1 116 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 GEORGE G STRONG JR DIRECTOR 1.00 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 ROBERT S SPAN ESQ VICE CHAIR 1.00 X X 0 0 0 DIANE EYLER EXECUTIVE V.P. 40.00 X 159625 0 26039 MADELINE BERNSTEIN PRESIDENT 40.00 X 228400 0 36564 JR SITMAN DIRECTOR OF INFORMATION TE 40.00 X 102193 0 20009 Brittin Ross DVM Director of Veterinary Services 40.00 X 100746 0 13123 ELIZABETH DE LA ROSA VP HUMAN RESOURCES 40.00 X 113257 0 23339 704221 0 119074 5 0 1 0 Newport Creative Communications 21 Railroad Avenue Suite 1 Duxbury MA 02332 Direct Mailing Services 426167 1 20017 5050377 200196 5070394 BOARD & GROOMING 812900 457114 457114 ANIMAL PLACEMENT FEE 900099 388835 388835 OTHER ADOPTION CENTER CHARGES 900099 304241 304241 ANIMAL SHELTER CONTRACTS 900099 232884 232884 OTHER SHELTER CHARGES 900099 44482 44482 12100 12100 1439656 535284 535284 6010 6010 4950853 5101161 -150308 -150308 -150308 2228 20017 1969 259 259 391776 249040 142736 141755 981 MISCELLANEOUS 900099 11808 11808 11808 7055839 1136105 458095 391245 393909 311189 63025 19695 3150438 2494241 490105 166092 140654 105619 31043 3992 715784 580625 83911 51248 280276 244167 21780 14329 27500 27500 104569 23644 60300 20625 72157 72157 134971 103463 18883 12625 85563 83485 876 1202 15495 11918 2521 1056 53753 53753 151264 129874 11742 9648 30997 24577 5365 1055 19310 18581 716 13 359782 332612 26064 1106 261518 238015 20295 3208 VETERINARY SERVICES and 321078 321078 Direct Mail Components 278802 278802 EQUIP RENTAL & MAINTENA 241594 212975 21528 7091 BANK & CREDIT CARD FEES 162637 144723 17914 690302 423529 57130 209643 7692353 5858068 1014941 819344 882539 491877 2552222 2317590 97001 108477 137462 153913 34271 67322 13987024 5546903 8728699 8440121 16065142 14423202 4372862 7218258 1750 1750 32871948 33222510 437830 509837 7000000 7000000 7437830 7509837 X 24139315 24428996 1116221 1105095 178582 178582 25434118 25712673 32871948 33222510 -636514 915069 0 X X 0 1 X 1 0 X 5468082 6105834 4074333 4970538 5070394 25689181 1387336 1183308 1225942 1339468 1376346 6512400 3047 15431 18478 6855418 7292189 5315706 6310006 6446740 32220059 15000 15375 18395 15000 20075 83845 9119 9119 15000 15375 27514 15000 20075 92964 32127095 394589 370854 384151 433442 541294 2124330 287714 326137 334378 400985 457114 1806328 682303 696991 718529 834427 998408 3930658 63590 7185 13851 10336 12008 106970 7601311 7996365 6048086 7154769 7457156 36257687 0.88610 0.90380 0.10840 0.09030 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 3711375 6939114 1276868 779831 497037 629391 481428 147963 631072 574269 56803 8440121 ALTERNATIVE INVESTMENTS 212771 F FEDERAL AGENCY SECURITIES 99792 F CORPORATE BONDS & NOTES 6905695 F 7218258 X 7900720 915069 915069 6985651 72157 -1969 70188 7055839 7622165 1969 1969 7620196 72157 72157 7692353 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.
