WILDLIFE REHABILITATIONA. CARING FOR ILL, INJURED, AND ORPHANED WILDLIFE WITH THE ULTIMATE GOAL OF THEIR HEALTHY RELEASE BACK INTO THE WILD IS THE CORE OF OHIO WILDLIFE CENTER'S SERVICE. IN 2022, WE ADMITTED 7,905 ANIMALS FOR CARE, WITH PEAKS OF 80-100 ANIMALS ADMITTED PER DAY IN MAY AND JUNE. ABOUT ONE QUARTER OF ALL ADMISSIONS ARE ORPHANED BABY ANIMALS WHO REQUIRE INTENSIVE CARE FROM OUR TEAM OF VOLUNTEERS TO GROW ENOUGH TO BE RELEASED. THIS IS THE LEADING CAUSE OF ANIMALS BEING PRESENTED TO THE ANIMAL HOSPITAL. OTHER SIGNIFICANT PATIENT ADMISSIONS ARE A RESULT OF SOME CONFLICT SUCH AS INTERACTIONS WITH DOMESTIC ANIMALS, COLLISIONS, AND/OR INAPPROPRIATE POSSESSION. B. OUR PROFESSIONAL REHABILITATORS AND VOLUNTEER TEAM PROVIDE A VARIETY OF CARE FROM BLOOD DIAGNOSTICS AND X-RAYS TO MEDICATIONS AND BONE SPLINTS. EVERY ANIMAL RECEIVES A COMPREHENSIVE EVALUATION TO DETERMINE ITS BEST CARE PLAN, ALTHOUGH ITS JOURNEY FROM OUR HOSPITAL TO THE WILD CAN TAKE MANY DIFFERENT PATHS.WE PARTNER WITH OUR TEAM OF VOLUNTEERS AS WELL AS LOCAL CORRECTIONAL INSTITUTIONS TO PROVIDE CARE FOR ADMITTED ANIMALS OFFSITE. PATIENTS REQUIRE REGULAR ONGOING FEEDING, QUIET SURROUNDINGS, AND CARE. THE CENTER'S PRE-RELEASE FACILITY REPLICATES NATURAL ENVIRONMENTS FOR ANIMALS ON THE LAST LEG OF THEIR JOURNEY. VOLUNTEERS PROVIDE BASIC NEEDS LIKE FOOD AND MONITOR ANIMALS FOR KEY BEHAVIORS TO ENSURE THEY ARE HEALTHY AND CAPABLE TO BE RELEASED BACK TO THE WILD.C. THE CENTER ACCEPTS WILDLIFE OF ALL SPECIES, BUT THE UNFORTUNATE TRUTH IS THAT MANY CASES ARE TOO SEVERE TO SUCCEED. THIS IS WHY WE'RE SO THANKFUL FOR THE SUPPORT OF OUR GROWING COMMUNITY OF DONORS AND VOLUNTEERS - THEIR HELP ENSURES THAT WE DO EVERYTHING POSSIBLE FOR OUR ANIMALS.2. SCRAM! WILDLIFE CONTROLA. SCRAM! WILDLIFE CONTROL WAS ESTABLISHED AS A SOCIAL ENTERPRISE PROGRAM OF OHIO WILDLIFE CENTER TO BOTH PROVIDE THE COMMUNITY WITH A HUMANE ALTERNATIVE TO CONVENTIONAL ANIMAL CONTROL SERVICES AND BOLSTER FUNDS AVAILABLE TO SUPPORT OUR WILDLIFE HOSPITAL. SCRAM! FOCUSES ON NON-LETHAL SOLUTIONS TO UNWANTED WILD ANIMALS IN RESIDENTIAL AND BUSINESS PROPERTIES, RELYING ON LONG-TERM EXCLUSION RATHER THAN TRAPPING AND EUTHANASIA. B. THE SCRAM! TEAM RESPONDS TO HUNDREDS OF SERVICE CALLS EACH YEAR, PLUS PROVIDES ROUTINE SERVICE THROUGH SIX AGREEMENTS WITH LOCAL CORPORATIONS AND MUNICIPALITIES. EXCLUSION SERVICES WERE TAILORED TO THIRTEEN DISTINCT SPECIES, WITH THE TOP 3 MOST-PREVALENT SPECIES BEING EASTERN GRAY SQUIRRELS, RACCOONS, AND BATS.C. SCRAM! CAN PROVIDE AN IMMEDIATE RESPONSE FOR CLIENTS WILLING TO PAY A FEE RATHER THAN WAIT FOR AN AVAILABLE VOLUNTEER. SCRAM! SERVICE CALLS INCLUDED RESCUES FOR ILL OR INJURED ANIMALS, ALL OF WHICH WERE BROUGHT TO THE HOSPITAL FOR FURTHER CARE.3. WILDLIFE & CONSERVATION EDUCATION PROGRAMSA. OHIO WILDLIFE CENTER STRIVES TO INSTILL A GREATER APPRECIATION AND UNDERSTANDING OF WILD ANIMALS AND CAN HELP PREVENT HARMFUL INTERACTIONS THUS REDUCING THE NUMBER OF ANIMALS ADMITTED TO ITS FREE ANIMAL HOSPITAL.B. OHIO WILDLIFE CENTER OFFERS EDUCATION PROGRAMS FOR ALL AGES. PROGRAMS RANGE FROM SUMMER DAY CAMPS AND ONSITE EVENTS TO CONSERVATION TALKS HELD WITH PROFESSIONAL CLUBS AND ASSOCIATIONS.C. ALL PROGRAMS ARE SUPPORTED BY OVER 60 ANIMALS AMBASSADORS REPRESENTING MANY OF OHIO'S NATIVE SPECIES. ALL OF OUR AMBASSADORS WERE PATIENTS OF OUR HOSPITAL AND BECAME AMBASSADORS WHEN THEY WERE DIAGNOSED AS NON-RELEASABLE, EITHER DUE TO A PERMANENT INJURY THAT AFFECTS THEIR ABILITY TO HUNT SUCCESSFULLY OR BECAUSE THEY HAD ALREADY HABITUATED TO HUMAN CARE. THESE ANIMALS ARE PERMANENT RESIDENTS OF OHIO WILDLIFE CENTER AND ARE CARED FOR EVERY DAY BY OUR EDUCATION STAFF AS WELL AS ROTATING INTERNS FROM OUR PARTNERSHIP WITH OTTERBEIN UNIVERSITY. 1202304 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 13 0 1 47 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 13 13 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 OH X THE ORGANIZATION 6147939453 6131 COOK RD POWELL OH 43065 LOLITA HAVERLOCK EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR 40.00 X 122716 0 4132 LORI WILLIAMS FINANCIAL MANAGER 20.00 X 25078 0 0 STORMY GIBSON 012022-032022 ASSISTANT EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR 40.00 X 17104 0 662 VALERIE SWIATEK CHAIR 5.00 X X 0 0 0 PATTY PETERS VICE CHAIR 5.00 X X 0 0 0 DAVID WOOD SECRETARY 5.00 X X 0 0 0 RYAN SENCIBOY TREASURER 5.00 X X 0 0 0 MICHAEL BARRIE DVM TRUSTEE 2.00 X 0 0 0 SUSAN BURTON TRUSTEE 2.00 X 0 0 0 KATHERINE FONTAINE TRUSTEE 2.00 X 0 0 0 AUDREY GLICK TRUSTEE 2.00 X 0 0 0 DR NICHOLAS A JEW DVM TRUSTEE 2.00 X 0 0 0 WHITNEY PORTER TRUSTEE 2.00 X 0 0 0 RUSTIN MOORE DVM TRUSTEE 2.00 X 0 0 0 BRIAN SELL TRUSTEE 2.00 X 0 0 0 AL VIVO TRUSTEE 2.00 X 0 0 0 164898 0 4794 1 0 0 0 0 172191 675876 25061 848067 SERVICE AGREEMENTS 900099 339161 339161 EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS 900099 141186 141186 480347 6713 6713 30662 3821 26841 26841 26841 1400 0 1400 1400 1400 37349 172191 34912 2437 2437 1365805 480347 0 37391 169692 117906 35195 16591 748701 520217 155284 73200 50857 35337 10548 4972 74818 51985 15518 7315 37047 27184 3776 6087 21057 21057 2584 2584 35700 17878 6682 11140 50572 34595 4201 11776 136140 104222 12222 19696 19976 19976 126460 100383 3075 23002 23176 16987 2339 3850 PROGRAM SUPPLIES 124600 124600 DUES AND SUBSCRIPTIONS 5918 4104 359 1455 OTHER EXPENSES 5873 5873 1633171 1202304 249199 181668 910267 49815 897267 1598939 102012 28975 7795 6573 3421588 1309023 2157462 2112565 425 346 0 80838 4075228 3878051 54408 57116 18306 4949 0 80838 72714 142903 X 3663885 3393298 338629 341850 4002514 3735148 4075228 3878051 -267366 0 X X 0 1 X 1 0 X 650245 630377 1126809 1717018 848067 4972516 650245 630377 1126809 1717018 848067 4972516 652521 4319995 190 31989 13846 47223 37375 130623 41428 7620 2437 51485 152 240 392 5155016 2719896 0.83800 0.83010 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 627191 627191 2365057 985363 1379694 154970 112659 42311 274370 211001 63369 2112565 ROU LEASE LIABILITY 80838 80838 X 1405613 1075 38733 39808 1365805 0 1365805 1672979 1075 38733 39808 1633171 0 1633171 PART X, LINE 2: THE ORGANIZATION IS ORGANIZED AS A TAX EXEMPT ORGANIZATION UNDER SECTION 501(C)(3) OF THE UNITED STATES INTERNAL REVENUE CODE (IRC).
