      <Description>Animal Intake and Shelter ServicesOur doors are open to receive any animal in need 365 days a year. Our Adoption Center provides a second chance at a happy life for more than 5,400 cats and dogs every year. Foster families provide a temporary loving home for animals that are not ready for adoption due to illness or immature age. Our S.A.F.E. program provided temporary housing for animals whose owners are experiencing crisis situations, e.g., domestic violence, medical emergency, home foreclosure, fires, or floods. Our humane investigators responded to 3,600 complaints of cruelty and neglect each year, educating owners about proper pet care, or in some case they must remove the animal from a life-threatening situation. During the year, our free Behavior Hotline assisted 2,000 pet owners with issues they were experiencing with their pets. Our behaviorists also performed behavior evaluations on our animals helping to make the best match for the pet and potential owners. During the year, 1,000 dogs and owners graduated from dog training classes (ranging from puppy pre-school to advanced training) that helped to build a stronger bond between them.</Description>

        <Description>Hospital and Clinical ServicesSurgical sterilization is the most effective way to reduce the pet overpopulation problem. We are Chicago's oldest and largest spay/neuter clinic, offering the general public reduced cost surgeries and free surgeries feral cats and pit bull/pit mix breeds. During the past year our veterinarians performed over 12,000 spay/neuter surgeries. Our Charity Veterinary Clinic provided quality veterinary services to 1,200 low-income pet owners who would otherwise not be able to afford the needed treatment. Helping to save more lives, our 3 in-house clinics, The Bruckner Rehabilitation &amp; Treatment Center, Virginia Butts Berger Cat Clinic, and our dog rehabilitation center provided veterinary treatment to 600 dogs and 1,200 cats during the year. Our veterinarians perform examinations and necessary treatment to every animal housed in our facility. Prior to adoption, every animal is given vaccinations and a physical examination and spay or neuter surgery (if they have not). Dogs receive a heartworm test and cats receive a Feline Leukemia test.</Description>

        <Description>Humane Education, Community Outreach and CommunicationEach year, the Society's humane educators present messages of respect and compassion for all living beings to 26,000 Chicago area school children and community members.

We also conduct an anti-violence after-school program for at-risk high school students, teaching them positive alternatives to the violence that surrounds them. And our most recent addition, an early childhood development program helping to teach respect and compassion to the very young. A host of summer educational programs enhance children's respect and appreciation for animals and the environment.</Description>

        <ReturnReference>Description of Uncertain Tax Positions Under FIN 48:</ReturnReference>
        <Explanation>The Society's adoption of the Income Tax Topic regarding uncertain tax positions of GAAPUSA on November 1, 2009 had no effect on its financial position as management believes the Society has no material unrecognized income tax liabilities. The Society would account for any potential interest or penalties related to possible future liabilities for unrecognized income tax liabilities as income tax expense. The Society is not likely to be subject to examination by tax authorities for federal, state or local income taxes for periods before 2007. Prior to adoption of the Income Tax Topic, the Society accounted for tax positions under a contingent loss model, requiring recognition of a tax liability when it was both (1) probable that it had been incurred as of year-end and (2) the amount could be reasonably estimated.</Explanation>

        <Explanation>When the current president was hired in 2008, the Board of Directors utilized the services of a professional Executive Search Firm both to determine a field of qualified candidates and to determine a salary range for the successful candidate. The range was determined by a confidential salary survey of like organizations. Subsequent salary increases for the president have been based on performance and economic conditions. The salary for the Vice President for Business Administration and Finance was initially set by an informal salary survey of like positions at similar organizations taking into consideration internal equity. Subsequent salary increases for the Vice President have been based on performance and the salary pool for exempt staff during that year.</Explanation>
