We view pets not merely as animals, but as members of our families. As their guardians and custodians, it is our aim to reduce the overpopulation and suffering of abandoned and unwanted dogs and cats. We believe pet spaying and neutering is an effective way to achieve this end and we are committed to providing quality, affordable spay and neuter serv ices for pet owners and to our community's largest public animal shelter, Riverside County Animal Shelter in Thousand Palms. We believe adoptable, homeless dogs and cats deserve a chance at life and to live in a loving home, and we support this ideal through animal rescuing, animal sheltering, and pet adoptions. We believe the bond between people and pets is healing, both emotionally and physically, and we provide Animal Companion Therapy (aka Pet Therapy) to residents of local nursing homes, r false false 8631703 Veterinary Clinics: In 2023, our veterinary clinics outperformed services from 2022. Last year we saw approximately 18,262 animal patients, which increased our aggregate number of patients to more than 297,575. Our unique veterinary services in 2023 included: 11,510 Pet Exams; 5,291 Lab Tests; 6,503 Spay & Neuter Surgeries; 6,502 Non-Spay & Neuter Surgeries; 1,314 Dental Services (including dental surgeries); 1,304 X-rays; 12,608 Vaccinations, and 13,023 non-exam procedures (ear cleanings, anal gland express, nail trims, et al). In 2023, our first year providing ophthalmology services, our specialty team saw 412 ophthalmology patients. Additionally, in year two of our Pet Oncology department, we treated 329 dogs and cats with cancer. Depending on the type, severity, and invasiveness of the disease, our Board-certified doctors provide three primary treatment options: Chemotherapy, Immunotherapy, and Cryotherapy. Animal Samaritans offers several financial aid programs to help pet owners pay for the veterinary care their animals need. These programs include our Animal Care Fund for low-income pet owners, and our Senior Pet Wellness Fund, which subsidizes pet care for senior pet owners on a limited income. In 2023, we provided $160,639.48 in financial aid assistance to 325 pet owners. As you might expect, the demand for these programs is high. Additionally, our Cade L. Morrow Fund helps cover the costs of medical care for abandoned, abused and homeless animals. Last year we provided $6,437.23 to cover the costs of veterinary services for adoptable homeless animals that may not have survived without this care. After providing life-saving veterinary care, we then adopted out or provided safe haven for these animals. With significant assets coming to our Cade L. Morrow Fund in 2025, we will establish (per the donor's request) the Cade L. Morrow Endowment Fund to ensure veterinary care for homeless and/or abused animals in perpetuity. Shelter and Pet Adoptions: Last year our small no-kill animal shelter adopted out 347 homeless animals. Adoptions included 40 dogs (canines four-months and older), 17 puppies, 8 adult cats, and 89 kittens. This was an increase of 63 adoptions over 2022. Humane Education: Last year we again saw more teachers welcoming our Humane Educator back to their classrooms following the restrictions on visitations that occurred in 2020 and 2021 from COVID-19. In 2023, our bi-lingual educator presented state-accredited humane education lesson plans to 6,115 students in our area Coachella Valley, Desert Sands, and Palm Springs Unified School Districts. This was an increase of 1,409 students over last year. Additionally, we provided humane education services to 279 adults at community at local career fairs and a disaster preparedness expo. As in 2023, our Humane Educator and her volunteers hosted eight free Summer Critter Camps, primarily for financially disadvantaged students. These camps are for children ages 7 through 12 and focus on the program's core teachings that students learn during the school year. Critter Campers also enjoy interacting with live reptiles, birds, rodents, and dogs, creating animal-themed arts and crafts, and playing animal-themed games. 8631703 true true false false false false false false false true true false false false false false false false false false false false false true true false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 7 0 true 93 true false false false false false true true false 0 false false false false false false false X 12 12 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true true true false CA X X The Organization 7606013989 72120 Petland Pl Thousand Palms CA 92276 Dr Catherine Gilabert Veterinarian, DVM 40.00 0.00 448391 0 0 Dr Arthur Klomhaus Veterinarian, DVM 40.00 0.00 378386 0 0 Dr Elizabeth Fogel Veterinarian, DVM 40.00 0.00 235390 0 0 Dr Linda Boone Veterinarian, DVM 40.00 0.00 180305 0 0 Dr Pamela Ko Veterinarian, DVM 40.00 0.00 175442 0 0 Tom Snyder CEO 40.00 0.00 X 137026 0 0 Len Betz President 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Mark Dodge Vice President 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 John Schooler Treasurer 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Fera Mostow Secretary 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Sandy Beakey Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Marcia Erickson Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Patrick Evans Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Barbara Flanagan Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Bert Garland Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Clark Hallren Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Lanny Seese MD Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Aurora Wilson Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 1554940 6 false true false Dennis Macy 72120 Petland Pl Thousand Palms CA 92276 Medical Services 153457 1 3816 1932371 1936187 Clinic Income 7844359 7844359 7844359 201962 201962 0 0 0 0 318694 74595 244099 0 0 0 10226607 8046321 0 0 0 0 137026 116472 13703 6851 0 4287452 3858707 214373 214372 0 783934 705541 39197 39196 704538 634084 35227 35227 0 0 0 0 59108 59108 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 Clinic Expense 2592140 2592140 General & Admin 534838 534838 Shelter Expense 190529 190529 Capital Campaign 177366 177366 539135 356864 8223 174048 10006066 8631703 845561 528802 1444734 2106220 2371277 271831 0 40961 0 0 0 0 260258 215378 31719 32147 4950934 2611207 2439379 2339727 1156218 3070313 0 0 0 410998 416699 8155544 8452315 320433 368389 320433 368389 X 5888324 6137139 1946787 1946787 7835111 8083926 8155544 8452315 220541 28274 X false true X true false X 2720086 3508960 2016167 2811375 1936187 12992775 3425470 2555339 5016586 6632798 7844359 25474552 0 0 0 6145556 6064299 7032753 9444173 9780546 38467327 0 0 38467327 12965 17560 17423 24285 201962 274195 0 12965 17560 17423 24285 201962 274195 0 69449 53951 131706 181517 244099 680722 6227970 6135810 7181882 9649975 10226607 39422244 0.97580 0.98390 0.00700 0.00260 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 266091 5740 271831 306947 -37934 2922 266091 290199 16748 306947 266111 24088 290199 236677 8115 21319 266111 1.00000 true false false 49573 49573 2570918 845092 1725826 1037085 615913 421172 1200562 1067076 133486 92796 83126 9670 2339727 Part V, Line 4: Intended uses of the endowment fund. The organization has funds held with the Community Foundation, Riverside California (TCF). These funds were previously held in the organization's cash reserves and were moved to the community fund by the board in order to diversify their investments, as well as lay the groundwork for a proper endowment in the future. Earnings on these funds are held and reinvested in the endowment pool. The organization reports the fair value of the funds held with TCF in the statement of financial position, and reports changes in the value of the fund as gains or losses in the statement of activities.

In total, our Pet Therapy Volunteers and their canine ambassadors logged 1068 hours of volunteer services, an increase of 861 hours over 2022. Additionally, our volunteers and therapy dogs visited 66 participating locations, an increase of 43 locations over last year. Some of these locations included: Atria Senior Assisted Living, Banyan Treatment Center, Brookdale Assisted Living & Memory Care, Destiny Hospice, Neuro Rehabilitation Center, John Glenn Middle School, Palm Springs High School and The Bob Hope USO. OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 5: Animal Rescue: This charitable resource for adoptable, treatable at-risk homeless shelter animals is provided free of charge to the County of Riverside and greater Desert community. Last year we rescued 693 animals from Riverside County Animal Shelter in Thousand Palms, an average of 58 animals per month. This was a decrease of 184 animals over 2023. Because our Animal Rescuer retired in August, the program was without a rescuer the last quarter of the year while we recruited and interviewed candidates to fill this important role. Throughout 2023, we worked with 279 animal rescue agencies. Specifically, the numbers for 2023 show we rescued 364 adult dogs, 258 puppies, 24 adult cats, and 27 kittens from RCAS. Additionally, we saved another 20 pets, including: Adult domesticated rabbits, wild bottle baby rabbits, turtles and tortoises, domesticated chickens, guinea pigs and hamsters, and two bearded dragons.
