Adoptable companion animals are provided to the general public for a fee. 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, 2013 and 2012, the placement rate was 97.1% and 96.5%, respectively.Most of the animals received each year in our Adoption Center are cats and dogs; however, we also accept and care for rabbits, hamsters, gerbils and other rodents. Most of our shelter guests were strays, rescued from shelters where the animals have time limits and are put to death if not rescued or from owners who can no longer care for their pets (total of 6,730 animals). We neither euthanize animals for lack of space nor place time limits on animals available for adoption as long as they remain healthy and well adjusted.Our adoption advisors focus on making the right connections between people and animals. Last year we placed 5,960 dogs, cats and critters. From providing health exams, vaccinations, and spay/neuter surgeries to performing temperament evaluations, each animal is looked at individually by our professional staff of veterinarians, veterinary staff, and adoption experts. We enhance our ability to adopt animals into the right homes by offering specialized programs:MaxMobile Offsite Adoption: Takes education and adoptable animals to many locations throughout our community and completed more than 260 adoptions this year.Animal Socialization Program: Specially-trained volunteers play an important part in the day-to-day socialization of our adoption animals.Cat Behavior and Socialization: Increases the adoptability of our cats by providing exercise, mental stimulation, basic grooming and socialization.Dog Behavior and Socialization: Uses positive reinforcement techniques to help increase the adoptability of our dogs by encouraging them to display desired behaviors including focusing on the person, sitting, and walking on leash. Volunteers also provide the dogs with exercise, socialization time and love.Foster Parents: Volunteers provided temporary care in their homes for 5,483 animals with short-term special needs until they could be made available for adoption. Most foster animals are injured, sick, or kittens and puppies that are too young to be place for adoption.Volunteer Programs: Our work on behalf of animals is supported by more than 1,800 volunteers that donated 198,501 hours last year. Our volunteers function in dozens of programs on our campus and throughout the community. 473752 322230 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 1,512 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, 171 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 1,492 low-income senior citizens each month, providing more than 91 tons of pet food last year. 412412 131008 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. We play an active role in reducing the number of unwanted animals born in our community by providing free spay/neuter surgery for every dog, cat and rabbit we adopt, and operating a spay/neuter clinic for income restricted pet owners. We performed 3,565 sterilizations for adoption animals and 2,517 for the public.We also microchip all dogs and cats we adopt and offer microchip identification to animals of low-income pet owners. 6,500 microchips were implanted in adopted and public animals.Staff veterinarians also performed 1,384 other surgeries on dogs and cats to save their lives and make the suitable for re-homing. 4501472 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 11 0 1 120 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 1 0 X 18 18 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 Kaycee Krysty 3.00 X X 0 0 0 Mary Kay Wright 3.00 X X 0 0 0 James Linardos 3.00 X X 0 0 0 Chris Falco 3.00 X X 0 0 0 John Corby 3.00 X X 0 0 0 Janette Adamucci 3.00 X 0 0 0 Michelle Foreman Barnet 3.00 X 0 0 0 Chris Bayless 3.00 X 0 0 0 Asher Bearman 3.00 X 0 0 0 Elaine Coles 3.00 X 0 0 0 Jeff Christianson 3.00 X 0 0 0 Kathy Connors 3.00 X 0 0 0 Tori Dotson 3.00 X 0 0 0 Michael Ellison 3.00 X 0 0 0 Jocelyn Hanson 3.00 X 0 0 0 Elwood Hertzog 3.00 X 0 0 0 Franz Lazarus 3.00 X 0 0 0 Susan Redmond 3.00 X 0 0 0 Daryl Russinovich 3.00 X 0 0 0 Jim Schuler 3.00 X 0 0 0 Lynda Silsbee 3.00 X 0 0 0 John Wenstrup 3.00 X 0 0 0 Dean Kattler 3.00 X 0 0 0 Leslie Phinney 3.00 X 0 0 0 Kathleen Conroy 3.00 X 0 0 0 Jonathan Hensley 3.00 X 0 0 0 Glenn Shapiro 3.00 X 0 0 0 Michele Vivona 3.00 X 0 0 0 David Loewe 40.00 X 131000 0 5484 Kenneth Farmer 40.00 X 93667 0 5484 Robert Crauer DVM 40.00 X 107927 0 5484 332594 0 16452 2 0 0 0 0 45555 1064566 7168714 948717 8278835 Adoption Fees 812900 646855 646855 Obedience Training 812900 196393 196393 Spay/Neuter Fees 812900 131008 131008 Education/Other Service 812900 125837 125837 1100093 117915 117915 1016484 940508 75976 75976 75976 402925 1064566 445919 -42994 -42994 31882 3762 28120 28120 85283 57730 27553 27553 9585498 1100093 0 206570 243807 152238 83464 8105 2802970 2362614 247263 193093 311329 276775 17377 17177 305929 256825 30365 18739 2500 2500 36784 13985 22400 399 16096 16096 42652 33561 8683 408 116879 72557 960 43362 458168 152415 2766 302987 105229 103802 1392 35 67117 57218 2691 7208 12734 9217 326 3191 124449 121435 989 2025 30298 29779 336 183 Animal Food & Supplies 728455 720130 2494 5831 Repairs & Maintenance 179686 114339 7697 57650 Fundraising 114535 659 1 113875 Expansion Planning 106611 106611 24658 21423 862 2373 5830886 4501472 446162 883252 X 629994 809236 441168 1451782 615285 3177049 11553 26029 152653 169133 88965 145677 2947559 2288372 670204 659187 5025630 5373399 7635452 11811492 303214 422067 152568 256010 455782 678077 X 5807706 6413361 720143 4068058 651821 651996 7179670 11133415 7635452 11811492 3754612 199133 0 X X 0 1 X 1 0 X 3860218 3551856 5012561 4602137 8278835 25305607 3860218 3551856 5012561 4602137 8278835 25305607 2302289 23003318 109227 102631 111832 144330 117915 585935 25891542 7004107 0.88840 0.88910 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 900017 175 66225 34718 931699 882411 30785 19208 32387 900017 763604 70000 78304 29497 882411 547900 215704 763604 168455 400050 -15534 5071 547900 0.70000 0.30000 0 0 296524 296524 1680994 1555404 125590 970041 732968 237073 659187 9821134 199133 36503 235636 9585498 0 9585498 5867389 36503 36503 5830886 0 5830886 Description of Intended Use of Endowment Funds: Part V, Line 4: General Endowment is for the general use of the organization.
