Our Shelter to Service program trains carefully selected shelter animals to become psychiatric service dogs and emotion support animals, assisting veterans and other individuals coping with psychological trauma and mental health challenges. This year, 131 people were enriched by psychiatric service dogs, facility dogs, and emotional support animals. Joybound's Pet Safety Net program provided counseling, financial support, and resource referrals to help 1,100 families retain their pets during times of crisis. The Community Solutions team responded to 2,137 calls and emails, offering expert guidance to community members facing animal-related challenges. Joybound hosted monthly free Vaccine and Microchip Clinics to provide essential preventive care for pets in underserved communities - serving 2,938 cats and dogs during the year. These clinics were offered on the Joybound campus and at partner locations across Contra Costa County and help protect public health by delivering core vaccinations and by ensuring pets can be identified and reunited with their families through microchipping. By removing financial and logistical barriers, the program supports pet retention, helps keep pets healthy, and reduces shelter surrenders. Through the Community Veterinary Care fund (CVC) 442 veterinary exams were provided to pets from low-income households in Contra Costa County, ensuring these animals received critical veterinary care. Our Pet Food Pantry program provided 30,840 meals to ensure that cats and dogs did not go hungry. For grieving pet owners, Joybound held monthly Pet Loss Support Group meetings, providing support and care during a very difficult time to 43 people working through the loss of their pet. Joybound's Pet Hug Pack therapy animal program continued to provide emotional support and companionship to individuals in hospitals, schools, care facilities, and community outreach events. This year, Pet Hug Pack teams brought comfort and joy to 15,681 people across dozens of sites. All therapy animals are temperament-tested, healthy, and trained for their important roles. 4609290 283277 Animal Care & Adoptions:This year, Joybound People & Pets placed 2,041 cats and dogs into new, loving homes through its adoption program. Each animal was behaviorally and medically assessed, treated as needed, spayed or neutered, and microchipped prior to adoption. While awaiting placement, all animals received daily enrichment, compassionate care, and basic training to enhance adoptability and promote well-being. In addition to routine shelter operations, Joybound also provided emergency rescue relief by assisting animal organizations impacted by natural disasters. We transferred animals in need from areas affected by events like wildfires, provided urgent veterinary care and housing, and facilitated adoption placement. These collaborative efforts helped ease the burden on overcrowded shelters and gave displaced animals a safe path to recovery and a new home. 4195174 519343 Veterinary Clinic:Joybound's onsite veterinary clinic provides essential medical care and surgical procedures for animals in our adoption program. Additionally, through our public spay/neuter initiatives, we support community members and rescue partners in addressing companion animal overpopulation. A total of 4,888 spay and neuter surgeries were performed during the year for both shelter and public animals, helping to reduce shelter intakes and prevent unwanted litters. Another 283 quality-of-life surgeries were performed to enable dogs and cats to live their best lives possible. Additionally, 1,049 veterans received free veterinary wellness exams, vaccinations, and preventative treatments from Joybound's caring Clinic team. 1015860 254372 Animal Behavior and Training:Joybound provided a robust schedule of in-person training classes aimed at promoting positive pet behavior and strengthening the human-animal bond. This included 939 classes teaching basic manners, puppy social skills, kitten kindergarten and other group training sessions. Private consultations provided 1,450 dog and cat guardians with customized support either in person, virtually or by phone.Grooming Academy:Joybound's Grooming Academy was launched in June 2024 to address workforce barriers while supporting community pet wellness. The academy provides hands-on training in professional grooming for individuals facing employment challenges, including veterans and others with limited access to job opportunities. Graduates are equipped with marketable skills for careers in the pet care industry. At the same time, the program offers affordable grooming services to the public and to Joybound's shelter animals, improving adoptability and overall animal wellbeing. During the year, 46 students completed the Grooming Academy, and 1,510 public and shelter dogs were groomed with care.Service Volunteers:During the year, 779 active volunteers shared 56,918 hours of their time across Joybound's full breadth of programs - from fostering, to greeting visitors, to assisting with laundry, to walking dogs, to socializing cats.. you name it. Joybound could not accomplish all that we do without these selfless volunteers. 1015860 254372 14952756 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 74 0 1 179 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 15 15 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 CA X X X The Organization 9252561273 2890 Mitchell Drive Walnut Creek CA 94598 Jennifer Hall Chair 8.00 X X 0 0 0 Steve Degnan Vice Chair 4.00 X X 0 0 0 Kevin Fick Treasurer 4.00 X X 0 0 0 Morgan Forsey Secretary 4.00 X X 0 0 0 Greg Andrews Director 2.00 X 0 0 0 Rose Bollman Director 2.00 X 0 0 0 Shasa Curl Director 2.00 X 0 0 0 Angela De La Housaye Director 2.00 X 0 0 0 Jason Dombrosky Director 2.00 X 0 0 0 Mark Jennings Director 2.00 X 0 0 0 Gregory McCoy Director 2.00 X 0 0 0 Dayna Sayres Director 2.00 X 0 0 0 Pete Scott Director 2.00 X 0 0 0 Alice Tillett Director 2.00 X 0 0 0 Eric Willis Director 2.00 X 0 0 0 Susan Lee Vick CEO 40.00 X 298831 0 26091 Cheryl McKenna CFO 40.00 X 247245 0 20175 Wendy Taylor Chief of Staff 40.00 X 243930 0 18955 Raul del Barco Chief Talent Officer 40.00 X 242208 0 22423 Lisa Moore Chief Advancement Officer 40.00 X 247170 0 17264 Dr Wailani Sung Sr Director Animal Admissions 40.00 X 125524 0 11457 Dr Heather Budgin Director of Veterinary Medicine 40.00 X 151132 0 5187 Andrea Bell Director of Legacy Giving 40.00 X 135264 0 18291 1691304 0 139843 19 0 1 0 Empire Pavers Corp 927 W MacArthur Blvd Emeryville CA 94608 Construction 237760 Newport One 21 Railroad Ave Duxbury MA 02332 Professional fundraiser 213471 Henry Brothers 1602 Quito Ct Suisun City CA 94585 Construction 145931 Stella 184 Front St E Ste 401 Toronto Ontario CA Professional fundraiser 109600 4 152155 8842389 394489 8994544 Adoption & Education 624200 1200597 1200597 1200597 1870647 1870647 6239100 5518824 720276 720276 720276 98733 152155 98733 0 489933 104299 385634 385634 Suite income 900099 182625 182625 Other income 900099 17454 17454 200079 13371777 1200597 0 3176636 994749 827262 46611 120876 10124320 8419680 474397 1230243 142911 118849 6696 17366 1016592 845427 47635 123530 815307 678033 38203 99071 15225 15225 317226 317226 298214 294053 4090 71 98851 61593 6476 30782 576191 427027 26354 122810 729213 645960 34142 49111 127776 73187 32480 22109 109399 58714 22190 28495 5145 3906 594 645 1235784 902758 16214 316812 231680 216353 3755 11572 Animal care & supplies 773685 773685 Pet Safety Net 289777 268097 21312 368 Repairs and maintenance 283944 226008 24598 33338 Taxes, licenses & fees 144857 98166 23272 23419 15110 13998 1093 19 18345956 14952756 845337 2547863 676256 799621 1705993 1286485 1944769 866884 24610 257844 53907 77414 307708 316156 35242960 8797734 26639356 26445226 54541443 54746733 106453 108794 2965841 2681120 4885 339691 88971221 87925968 1067084 1333256 411219 296242 0 343771 1478303 1973269 X 80137751 80292107 7355167 5660592 87492918 85952699 88971221 87925968 -4974179 3433959 0 X 0 1 X 1 0 X 10175230 11226478 9965945 8782329 9031881 49181863 10175230 11226478 9965945 8782329 9031881 49181863 6954692 42227171 991087 1494473 1501962 1640934 1870647 7499103 200079 200079 56881045 3884195 0.74240 0.70140 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 52679425 6616203 5194156 68253 54033219 48417391 5688450 1358990 67426 52679425 43530140 1031366 4115906 196622 63399 48417391 45896801 3907827 -6035256 234378 4854 43530140 1856136 34494718 9855457 249214 60296 45896801 0.94860 0.05140 0 0 10532895 10532895 22214412 7438377 14776035 74297 74297 649811 538930 110881 1771545 820427 951118 26445226 Lease liability - operating lease 269943 Lease liability- finance lease 73828 343771 X 16947372 3433959 37337 104299 3575595 13371777 0 13371777 18487591 37337 104299 141636 18345955 0 18345955 Part V, Line 4: Joybound's Board Investment Committee established the sustainability fund to provide future financial stability and use toward its programs and general charitable purpose.

Generally accepted accounting principles provide accounting and disclosure guidance about positions taken by an organization in its tax returns that might be uncertain. Management has considered its tax positions and believes that all of the positions taken by Joybound in its federal and state exempt organization tax returns are more likely than not to be sustained upon examination. Joybound's returns are subject to examination by federal and state taxing authorities, generally for three and four years, respectively, after they are filed.
