Form 990, Part III, Line 4a DIRECT ANIMAL CARE SERVICES CONTINUED FROM PART III, LINE 4A CLEVELAND AMORY BLACK BEAUTY RANCH (CABBR) IN MURCHISON, TX IS A 1,437 ACRE SANCTUARY FOR NEARLY 650 ANIMALS, REPRESENTING 44 SPECIES, WHO WERE RESCUED FROM DIRE SITUATIONS. RESCUED ANIMAL RESIDENTS RANGE FROM EXOTIC TO DOMESTIC SPECIES, INCLUDING HORSES AND BURROS, CATTLE AND BISON, EMUS AND OSTRICHES, PIGS, TORTOISES, BIG CATS, BEARS, KANGAROOS AND SEVERAL PRIMATE SPECIES. ANIMALS RESCUED FROM CRUELTY CASES OR OTHER FORMS OF ABUSE RECEIVE VETERINARY CARE AND A PERMANENT SAFE HAVEN. IN THE PERIOD from JANUARY 1 THROUGH MARCH 11,2024, CABBR WAS ABLE TO ACCEPT ONE NEW RESIDENT, A MINIATURE HORSE NAMED SPICY JALAPENO WHOSE PERSONALITY MATCHES HIS NAME. SPICY CAME TO THE SANCTUARY FROM A LAW ENFORCEMENT SEIZURE. HE WAS UNDERWEIGHT AND HIS HOOVES HAD GROWN SO LONG THEY CURLED UP. INFRASTRUCTURE IMPROVEMENTS IN THE FIRST PART OF 2024 INCLUDED THE COMPLETION OF A RETAINING WALL AND THE CONSTRUCTION OF A NEW HAY BARN. TEN YEARS AGO, FOREVER FOUNDATION, AN INNOVATIVE PROGRAM PROVIDING HORSE TRAINING AT NO COST TO EQUINE RESCUE ORGANIZATIONS THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY WAS FOUNDED AT THE EQUINE CENTER AT CABBR. THIS PROGRAM UTILIZES AN ONLINE PLATFORM FOR LEARNING AND TRACKING THE TRAINING PROGRESS OF EACH HORSE COMBINED WITH LIVE TRAINING CLINICS. FOREVER FOUNDATION UTILIZES A HOLISTIC APPROACH TO TRAINING THROUGH TRUST, COMMUNICATION AND LEADERSHIP AND HAS BECOME A NATIONAL RESOURCE FOR ASSISTING EQUINE FACILITIES WITH DEVELOPMENT OF THEIR OWN TRAINING PROGRAMS. THE FOREVER FOUNDATION TRAINING ENHANCES THE SKILLS NEEDED TO REHABILITATE AND WORK WITH DIFFICULT HORSES, EXPANDING THE OVERALL CAPACITY OF GROUPS TO TAKE IN EQUINES WITH PAST TRAUMATIC EXPERIENCES. RESCUED HORSES WITH FOUNDATIONAL TRAINING ARE FAR MORE ADOPTABLE, AND THE LIKELIHOOD OF LONG-TERM ADOPTION SUCCESS IS SIGNIFICANTLY HIGHER. IN THE FIRST QUARTER OF 2024, 34 ORGANIZATIONS WERE ENROLLED IN THE PROGRAM REPRESENTING APPROXIMATELY 680 HORSES. DUCHESS SANCTUARY IN OAKLAND, OR IS A 1,120-ACRE FACILITY ESTABLISHED IN 2008 TO CARE FOR FORMERLY ABUSED, EXPLOITED, AND NEGLECTED EQUINES. MARES RESCUED FROM THE PREGNANT MARE URINE (PMU) INDUSTRY AND THEIR OFFSPRING COMPRISE A LARGE PART OF THE HERD AT THE SANCTUARY. BLM MUSTANGS AND OTHER HORSES AND DONKEYS RESCUED FROM POTENTIAL SLAUGHTER AND VARIOUS DIRE SITUATIONS MAKE UP THE BALANCE OF THE EQUINE POPULATION. DUCHESS ALSO SERVES AS A WILDLIFE HABITAT WHERE THE EQUINE SHARE ACREAGE WITH LARGE FREE ROAMING HERDS OF ELK, DEER AND OTHER NATIVE WILDLIFE. IN EARLY 2024, THE SANCTUARY WAS ABLE TO PURCHASE A NEW FARM VEHICLE TO AID IN CONSISTENTLY PROVIDING EXEMPLARY CARE OF ITS AGING POPULATION OF 150 EQUINES. RURAL AREA VETERINARY SERVICES (RAVS) HAS BEEN A FUND FOR ANIMALS PROGRAM SINCE 2018. RAVS PROVIDES ESSENTIAL ANIMAL HEALTH CARE SERVICES IN REMOTE COMMUNITIES WHERE POVERTY AND GEOGRAPHIC ISOLATION MAKE REGULAR VETERINARY SERVICES INACCESSIBLE, PRIMARILY ON NATIVE AMERICAN RESERVATIONS IN AZ, ND, SD, AND WA. In Q1 2024, RAVS HELD THREE FIELD VETERINARY CLINICS OFFERING VETERINARY MEDICAL CARE INCLUDING WELLNESS/PREVENTIVE CARE AS WELL AS TREATMENT FOR A RANGE OF ILLNESSES AND INJURIES. CLINICS WERE SUPPORTED BY 21 VOLUNTEERS WHO PROVIDED 1,512 HOURS OF SERVICE. RAVS ALSO CONTINUED TO WORK REMOTELY WITH TRIBAL PARTNERS TO ADDRESS URGENT ANIMAL CARE NEEDS. IN TOTAL, 2,137 ANIMALS RECEIVED MEDICAL CARE AND 235,000 LBS. OF PET FOOD WERE DISTRIBUTED TO FAMILIES IN NEED. Form 990, Part III, Line 4b HUMANE EDUCATION AND ADVOCACY CONTINUED FROM PART III, LINE 4B THE FUND'S PROGRAMS PROVIDE CAPTIVATING EXPERIENCES VIA PERSONALIZED TOURS, INTERN AND EXTERN PROGRAMS FOR PROFESSIONAL STUDENTS AND VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES FOR VISITORS FROM AROUND THE WORLD. GUESTS LEARN ABOUT ANIMAL PROTECTION ISSUES RELATING TO FACTORY FARMING, WILDLIFE AND HABITAT PROTECTION, ANIMALS IN RESEARCH, HORSE SLAUGHTER, AND OTHER PRESSING CHALLENGES. CLEVELAND AMORY BLACK BEAUTY RANCH PROVIDED ANIMAL CARE EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES TO NINE INTERNS WHO WORKED 1,329 HOURS, A ONE YEAR CLINICAL VETERINARY INTERN, AND FIVE VOLUNTEERS WHO WORKED 120 HOURS. CABBR ALSO WELCOMED 40 VISITORS TO THE SANCTUARY FOR EDUCATIONAL TOURS. THE RURAL AREA VETERINARY SERVICES (RAVS) PROGRAM TRAINS VETERINARY STUDENTS IN ESSENTIAL CLINICAL SKILLS AND A HUMANE ETHIC TO PREPARE AND INSPIRE THEM TO INCORPORATE COMMUNITY SERVICE IN THEIR CAREERS TO ADDRESS THE GROWING GAP IN ACCESS TO CARE. VETERINARY PROFESSIONALS ARE ENGAGED IN EDUCATION AND MEANINGFUL SERVICE OPPORTUNITIES THAT IMPROVE THEIR SKILLS AND ENCOURAGE ONGOING INVOLVEMENT IN ANIMAL PROTECTION ISSUES. IN THE FIRST THREE MONTHS OF 2024, RAVS TEACHING CLINICS PROVIDED HANDS-ON FIELD TRAINING TO 21 VETERINARY PROFESSIONALS AND STUDENTS. AN ADDITIONAL 67 VETERINARY STUDENTS AND PROFESSIONALS WERE REACHED VIA VIRTUAL TRAINING LABS, WEBINARS AND EDUCATIONAL OUTREACH SESSIONS TO EXPAND SKILLS AND AWARENESS OF ACCESS TO CARE ISSUES. BY SHARING RESOURCES AND TRAINING OTHERS, RAVS IS HELPING THOUSANDS MORE ANIMALS RECEIVE THE CARE THEY NEED. THE WORK OF THE FUND FOR ANIMALS DIRECTLY SUPPORTS THE HUMAN-ANIMAL BOND, WITH ALL OF ITS EMOTIONAL, PSYCHOLOGICAL, AND SOCIETAL BENEFITS. THE ORGANIZATION'S WORK ALSO BENEFITS HUMANS BY ENSURING THAT HOMELESS, UNDERSERVED AND SOMETIMES DANGEROUS ANIMALS ARE CARED FOR WITH COMPASSION AND IN A MANNER CONSISTENT WITH FUNDAMENTAL PUBLIC HEALTH AND SAFETY INTERESTS.
