Mission and programs · 2023

Mission

At Animal Samaritans we champion compassion and respect for all living creatures, with a primary focus on dogs, cats, and the people who love them. 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

Activities or mission (Part I)

Improving the Lives of Animals and People.

  • 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.

    Expenses $8,631,703

  • 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.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.
