Adoptable companion animals are provided to the general public for a fee and provided to senior citizens and disabled individuals at discounted fees or at no charge. The Seattle Humane Society neither euthanizes animals for lack of space nor places time limits on animals available for adoption. For the years ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, the placement rate was 97.8% and 97.9%, respectively. 563879 428194 Community Services: The Seattle Humane Society is the cornerstone of nurturing successful relationships between people and pets. Workshops focus on strengthening companionship, such as introducing babies and pets, or animal behavior topics. The Seattle Humane Society's dog training classes enhance companionship by not only training animals to better dispositions but also improving their socialization skills. Other programs and services include:Our organization is dedicated to teaching children the importance and value of kindness and respect for all living creatures, educating guardians about their pets' needs and behaviors, and increasing awareness within our community about animal welfare issues.Curriculum Materials: We offer age-specific materials and resources for use in classrooms and youth programs. Each packet contains information and lesson plans on kindness, responsible pet care, pet safety, choosing a pet and pet overpopulation.Campus Tours: We offer campus tours for children and adults that include an age-appropriate discussion of our organizations programs and services, responsible pet care, pet overpopulation and kindness towards animals.Dog Training Classes: We understand that dog training classes enhances the relationship between pet and guardian and lays the foundation for a strong, lifelong relationship between guardian and dog. This year 1,622 people and their pet attended our classes.Our dog training classes use positive and gentle training methods to ensure each dog's success. Students learn to use a clicker, a science-based system for teaching new behaviors with positive reinforcement, as a marker signal to tell the dog when he is doing the desired behavior.People and Pet Workshops: Workshops focus on strengthening companionship between people and their pets by offering fun and educational topics to pet owners. Each year, we bring back old favorites as well as offer new topics to pet enthusiasts throughout our community. This year, 145 individuals participated in workshops.Humane Teen Club: In September 2002, we launched The Humane Teen Club (HTC) to provide volunteer opportunities for 13 to 15 year-olds and teach them to the benefits of animal companionship. HTC focuses on the importance of animal companionship and welfare through monthly meetings featuring educational presentations and service projects. Teens that complete the program requirements and graduate from the club, may apply to volunteer in selected volunteer programs at The Humane Society for Seattle/King County before turning 16-years old.Pet Food Bank: Many years ago, we noticed senior citizens giving up custody of their pets at our Adoption Center for lack of money to care for them. Because studies show that the companionship of a pet can greatly improve the quality of life for people living with disabilities, illness, or little social contact, The Humane Society responded by initiating the Pet Food Bank in October 1983.The Pet Food Bank provides monthly delivery of supplemental pet food to pets of 1,520 low-income senior citizens each month, providing more than 91 tons of pet food last year. 512618 122893 Veterinary Clinic: The Seattle Humane Society operates a spay/neuter clinic for low-income pet owners and offers vaccination and microchipping services. Spay or neuter surgery is performed on every dog or cat prior to adoption. 5126174 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 26 0 1 139 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 1 0 X 23 23 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 WA X X Ken Farmer 4256410080 13212 SE Eastgate Way Bellevue WA 98005 Chris Falco Board Chair 3.00 X X 0 0 0 James Linardos Vice Chair 3.00 X X 0 0 0 Janette Adamucci Vice Chair 3.00 X X 0 0 0 Annette Jacobs Vice Chair 3.00 X X 0 0 0 Aaron Knudsen Treasurer 3.00 X X 0 0 0 Shaheed Khan Secretary 3.00 X X 0 0 0 Kaycee Krysty Chair Emeritus 3.00 X X 0 0 0 Michelle Foreman Barnet Board 3.00 X 0 0 0 Chris Bayless Board 3.00 X 0 0 0 Asher Bearman Board 3.00 X 0 0 0 Elaine Coles Board 3.00 X 0 0 0 Gene Colin Board 3.00 X 0 0 0 Kathy Connors Board 3.00 X 0 0 0 Jocelyn Hanson Board 3.00 X 0 0 0 Noelle Harmon Board 3.00 X 0 0 0 Lynn Kilbourne Board 3.00 X 0 0 0 Franz Lazarus Board 3.00 X 0 0 0 Calvin Rowland Board 3.00 X 0 0 0 Daryl Russinovich Board 3.00 X 0 0 0 Jim Schuler Board 3.00 X 0 0 0 Lynda Silsbee Board 3.00 X 0 0 0 Jason Stoffer Board 3.00 X 0 0 0 John Wenstrup Board 3.00 X 0 0 0 Mary Kay Wright Board 3.00 X 0 0 0 John Corby Board 3.00 X 0 0 0 Jeff Christianson Board 3.00 X 0 0 0 Tori Dotson Board 3.00 X 0 0 0 Mike Ellison Board 3.00 X 0 0 0 Woody Hertzog Board 3.00 X 0 0 0 Susan Redmond Board 3.00 X 0 0 0 David Loewe CEO 40.00 X 137963 0 6008 Kenneth Farmer CFO 40.00 X 100406 0 6008 Brynn Blanchard VP of Development 40.00 X 109757 0 6008 348126 0 18024 3 0 0 0 0 40213 962588 8936693 1109889 9939494 Adoption Fees 812900 601150 601150 Education/Other Service 812900 258445 258445 Obedience Training 812900 209360 209360 Spay/Neuter Fees 812900 129061 129061 1198016 213487 213487 11431913 11062564 369349 369349 369349 641601 962588 462377 179224 179224 33010 8621 24389 24389 87416 53717 33699 33699 11957658 1198016 0 820148 282137 170992 98359 12786 3238289 2748574 344180 145535 363811 334000 22856 6955 367556 310448 40477 16631 1619 1619 38863 15469 23020 374 47640 47640 27863 24720 515 2628 141385 83399 869 57117 527463 165822 1880 359761 112303 110751 1534 18 63162 56456 1728 4978 15869 9240 230 6399 117884 116682 585 617 42737 42064 446 227 Animal Food & Supplies 815441 806817 2284 6340 Repairs & Maintenance 181702 109580 7808 64314 Fundraising 122801 917 19 121865 Expansion Planning 54545 54545 21710 20243 188 1279 6584780 5126174 650782 807824 X 2037609 905570 3504192 441852 4857995 6059364 65969 88705 183042 182066 194414 196833 4469108 2497098 1138070 1972010 6263198 14026924 18244489 23873324 498100 822757 234456 383801 732556 1206558 X 7452075 8595883 9407862 13418887 651996 651996 17511933 22666766 18244489 23873324 5372878 -218045 0 X X 0 1 X 1 0 X 5012561 4602137 8278835 10455329 9939493 38288355 5012561 4602137 8278835 10455329 9939493 38288355 2898134 35390221 111832 144330 117915 106145 213487 693709 38982064 8405071 0.90790 0.87200 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 1059480 67429 38474 1088435 931699 150290 22509 1059480 900017 175 66225 34718 931699 882411 30785 19208 32387 900017 763604 70000 78304 29497 882411 0.00000 0.60000 0.40000 0 0 296524 296524 2941227 1522683 1418544 1231357 974415 256942 1972010 11765092 -218047 16860 -201187 11966279 -8621 -8621 11957658 6610261 16860 8621 25481 6584780 0 6584780 Part V, Line 4: General Endowment is for the general use of the organization.
