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, as long as they remain healthy. For the years ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, the placement rate was 96.5% and 94%, respectively.Most of the animals received each year in our Adoption Center are cats and dogs; however, we also accept and care for rabbits, other rodents, and birds. 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 adopted and from owners who can no longer care for their pets (total of 6,064 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 adoptions 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 surgery 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 300 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 4,448 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 1,400 volunteers that donated 190,000 hours last year. Our volunteers function in dozens of programs on our campus and throughout the community. 491158 292071 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 organization's 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 1,434 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, 238 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- years old 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 1,347 low-income senior citizens each month, providing more than 80 tons of pet food last year. 210432 94924 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 3,261 sterilizations for adoption animals and 2,415 for the public.We also microchip all dogs and cats we adopt and offer microchip identification to animals of low-income pet owners. 5,500 microchips were implanted in adopted and public animalsStaff veterinarians also performed 1,192 other surgeries on dogs and cats to save their lives and make the suitable for re-homing. 4149422 1 1 0 1 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 0 1 14 1 1 116 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 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 John M Corby 3.00 X X 0 0 0 Mary Kay Wright 3.00 X X 0 0 0 Michele M Vivona 3.00 X X 0 0 0 Chris Falco 3.00 X X 0 0 0 James Linardos 3.00 X X 0 0 0 Janette Adamucci 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 Kathleen Conroy 3.00 X 0 0 0 Tori Dotson 3.00 X 0 0 0 Michael Ellison 3.00 X 0 0 0 Jonathan Hensley 3.00 X 0 0 0 Elwood Hertzog 3.00 X 0 0 0 Kaycee Krysty 3.00 X 0 0 0 Dean Kattler 3.00 X 0 0 0 Leslie Phinney 3.00 X 0 0 0 Daryl Russinovich 3.00 X 0 0 0 Mark Christopher 3.00 X 0 0 0 Sean McCann 3.00 X 0 0 0 Mauricio Gonzalez de la Fuente 1.50 X 0 0 0 Jennifer McCausland 1.50 X 0 0 0 Kenneth McGraw 1.50 X 0 0 0 Edward Pasatiempo 1.50 X 0 0 0 Gary Vitalone 1.50 X 0 0 0 Herb Weisbaum 1.50 X 0 0 0 Daniel Rosen 1.50 X 0 0 0 David Loewe 40.00 X 118903 0 1331 Kenneth Farmer 40.00 X 85257 0 5236 Robert Crauer DVM 40.00 X 102985 0 5236 307145 0 11803 2 0 0 0 0 32163 760382 3809592 474783 4602137 Adoption Fees 812900 631782 631782 Obedience Training 812900 167930 167930 Education/Other Servic 812900 124141 124141 Spay/Neuter Fees 812900 94924 94924 1018777 144330 144330 1368564 1278597 1988 89967 -1988 87979 87979 313291 760382 305983 7308 7308 21645 3880 17765 17765 86141 64248 21893 21893 5900189 1018777 0 279275 234643 142593 84129 7921 2509809 2176255 188713 144841 283517 265119 14185 4213 309397 267579 28756 13062 1932 1417 509 6 34192 11665 22191 336 17830 17830 82714 5696 7346 69672 55981 26909 236 28836 450468 161324 3003 286141 127350 120264 2126 4960 43477 37089 2276 4112 9355 6793 99 2463 167107 160189 1158 5760 30305 29807 317 181 Animal Food & Supplies 633033 625936 1230 5867 Repairs & Maintenance 154371 110624 9047 34700 Fundraising 101633 163 517 100953 5247114 4149422 383668 714024 X 1397936 629994 271106 441168 570826 615285 28830 11553 173087 152653 66193 88965 2834249 2164045 786096 670204 3929302 5025630 7223376 7635452 410359 303214 175355 152568 585714 455782 X 5444625 5807706 572001 720143 621036 651821 6637662 7179670 7223376 7635452 X 653075 -111067 X X 0 1 1 X 0 X 3342488 3860218 3551856 5012561 4602137 20369260 3342488 3860218 3551856 5012561 4602137 20369260 1607499 18761761 265500 109227 102631 111832 144330 733520 21102780 6390141 0.88910 0.88120 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 0 0 0 0 882411 30785 19208 32387 900017 763604 70000 78304 29497 882411 547900 215704 763604 168455 400050 -15534 5071 547900 0.72000 0.28000 0 0 296524 296524 1680994 1431275 249719 856731 732770 123961 670204 5900189 5247114 653075 -111067 -111067 542008 5803841 -111067 14719 -96348 5900189 0 5900189 5261833 14719 14719 5247114 0 5247114 Description of Intended Use of Endowment Funds: Part V, Line 4: General Endowment is for the general use of the organization.
