We successfully adopt into loving homes almost 18,000 orphaned dogs, cats, puppies and kittens per year from our Port Washington, NY headquarters. The League conducts an International Pet Adoptathon where shelters across the world join us in staying open for 36 consecutive hours to adopt as many animals as possible, and a Tour For Life where mobile units rescue and adopt animals from shelters. The League has adopted out over 1 million animals across the country since its inception in 1944. The Mutt-i-grees initiative was implemented nationally by the League as a key element in increasing shelter pet adoptions in an effort to elevate mixed breed dogs to a higher status in the eyes of potential adopters. Our adopters are asked to add their newly adopted pet as well as any other shelter rescue pets that they own to our Mutt-i-grees Registry. This includes them as part of the Mutt-i-grees Community, which elevates the value of all Mutt-i-grees (shelter and rescued animals) to reduce animal cruelty. 14337088 23985 5730919 Veterinary Care and Spay/Neuter-the on site Medical Center is staffed by veterinarians, technicians, volunteers and administrative personnel. This full service hospital provides 24 hour care for all pets who are sheltered by the League each year. Low cost veterinary services are provided for pets in need of such care. Spay USA, a program of the League, is a nationwide network and referral service for affordable spay/neuter procedures. 5258871 199879 29897 Humane Education- The League conducts humane education through a multifaceted approach. Education material is provided via direct mail, website, and through various media including newspapers, magazines, radio and TV. The Mutt-i-grees Curriculum is an innovative program that builds on children's affinity for animals and highlights the unique characteristics and desirability of Mutt-i-grees, or shelter pets. The goal of the Mutt-i-grees Curriculum is to enable children to grow up to be calm, confident and caring. The Curriculum teaches social and emotional skills and is unique in its bridging of humane education and the emerging field of Social and Emotional Learning (SEL). SEL is a process by which children learn to manage their emotions, get along with others, have empathy and compassion, and discover essential teamwork skills. These skills are important in life, but also in academic achievement. Studies show that children do better in school when they are socially and emotionally competent. Most importantly, the Curriculum is viewed as a social and intellectual path to a no-kill nation, a path that will lead to the adoption of a dog or cat from a shelter as the only responsible choice for young adults to make. 0 0 0 32825932 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 1 76 0 426 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 1 0 X 5 4 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 AK AL AR AZ CA CO CT DC FL GA HI IL KS KY LA MA MD ME MI MN MO MS NC ND NH NJ NM NY OH OK OR PA RI SC TN UT VA WA WI WV X X Valerie A Fields 5168837900 Lewyt St Port Washington NY 11050 J John Stevenson President/Director 40 2 X X 340227 0 23038 Gerald Tirozzi Treasurer/Director 2 0 X X 0 0 0 George Repper Director 2 0 X 0 0 0 Roger Weeks Director 2 0 X 0 0 0 Yasuko Yamaguchi Secretary/Director 2 0 X X 0 0 0 Joanne Yohannan Sr VP- Operations 40 2 X 217177 0 21614 Valerie Fields Sr VP- CFO 40 2 X 178500 0 7169 Jill Burkhardt Sr VP- Development and Marketing 40 0 X 162903 0 18535 Mark Verdino VP- Chief of Veterinary Staff 40 0 X 142015 0 18535 Roberta Franklin VP of Corporate Partnerships 40 0 X 141567 0 5687 Diana Zaferiou VP- Event Promotion & Corp/Foundation Giving 40 0 X 110470 0 9948 Diane Johnson VP- Medical Services 40 0 X 109737 0 7385 Diana Russo VP Human Resources 40 0 X 109724 0 18535 Jennifer Walsh VP- Direct Mail 40 0 X 108047 0 18535 Briana Mirchel Sr Veterinarian 40 0 X 110212 0 7385 1730579 0 156366 11 0 1 0 Antech Diagnostics Inc PO Box 101113 Pasadena CA 91189 Medical Diagnostic Tests 481553 Marks Paneth & Shron 88 Froehlich Farm Blvd Woodbury NY 11797 Accounting and Auditing 116100 Peter Rippullone 130 Shore Rd Port Washington NY 11050 Architect 105486 3 59840 0 534492 0 0 31206416 1292880 31800748 Spay/Neuter and Vet Care 900099 5730919 5730919 0 0 Pet Rescue and Adoption 900099 1245412 1245412 0 0 Humane Education 900099 29897 29897 0 0 0 0 0 0 7006228 321455 0 0 321455 0 0 0 0 619451 0 0 619451 12000 0 0 0 12000 0 12000 0 0 12000 3295921 500 3821233 0 -525312 500 -524812 0 0 -524812 80625 534492 122869 -42244 0 -42244 0 0 0 0 0 0 499638 253968 245670 245670 0 0 33030 0 0 33030 33030 39471526 7251898 0 418880 255849 255849 0 0 0 0 0 0 1624805 1115845 126034 382926 0 0 0 0 11169625 10072157 375853 721615 0 0 0 0 4399986 3827652 183922 388412 1029747 877265 53908 98574 0 0 0 0 78471 66537 15219 -3285 126100 0 126100 0 0 0 0 0 314778 314778 107811 0 107811 0 415910 387682 6584 21644 632175 530781 0 101394 1048396 670757 172197 205442 685224 531407 18691 135126 0 0 0 0 404359 242615 80872 80872 304599 288458 362 15779 0 0 0 0 12443 8777 0 3666 47058 0 47058 0 0 0 0 0 765020 459012 153004 153004 240919 144551 48184 48184 Direct response expense 2664334 0 0 2664334 Program education materials 7778331 7778331 0 0 Animal rescue, adoption and medical expense 5192750 5163611 9246 19893 Events and public relations 219051 202294 0 16757 330504 202351 29444 98709 39848245 32825932 1554489 5467824 X 9548857 7409495 0 2139362 20872830 21315746 162093 238765 0 7902702 7310669 0 0 50393 262009 637716 157616 213186 22693249 10744928 11419486 11948321 9324385 8403195 0 0 0 0 50101121 50117991 4369997 4916354 0 0 0 0 0 1308621 1099825 0 6841439 6006724 12520057 12022903 X 11936437 12536439 25181711 25095733 462916 462916 37581064 38095088 50101121 50117991 X -376719 -98309 0 0 0 989052 X 0 1 X 1 0 X 25061099 29442123 27882956 50941360 31800748 165128286 25061099 29442123 27882956 50941360 31800748 165128286 16645785 148482501 1470918 974768 867253 918578 985936 5217453 170345739 31618255 0.87165 0.86692 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 462916 0 1891 0 1891 0 462916 462916 0 1559 0 1559 0 462916 462916 0 2581 0 2581 0 462916 462916 0 2806 0 2806 0 462916 462916 0 3226 0 3226 0 462916 0 1 0 0 0 0 3997698 3997698 0 13453717 7774147 5679570 0 0 0 0 0 4254357 2970781 1283576 0 987477 0 987477 11948321 0 Accrued Pension Liability 5110389 Gift Annuities Payable 896335 6006724 X Schedule D, Part V, Line 4 Earnings on permanent endowment funds will be used for organizational purposes as defined by the fund Schedule D, Part X, Line 2 The Organization has qualified under the provisions of Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code which provides for an exemption from federal income tax.
