2012 Kentucky Humane Society Annual Report 1

Dear Friends, 2012 was a momentous year for the animals at the Kentucky Humane Society. We pledged to save every single healthy, behaviorally sound pet we took in and to never euthanize a pet simply because of lack of space. I am thrilled to report that we met this ambitious goal: for the first time in our history, 100% of adoptable pets taken in by the Kentucky Humane Society were saved!

As Kentucky’s largest private, nonprofit sheltering agency, this was quite an accomplishment—and something that was made possible by the vision of our board, the compassion and innovation of our staff, the service of our volunteers and the impact of donors like you.

This achievement saved many lives, and it is proof that KHS’ proactive solutions to ending pet overpopulation—spaying and neutering, education and adoption—are working.

But as well as the Kentucky Humane Society did in 2012, there is still so much more to be done. There are still so many homeless, abused and neglected animals out there. Until every adoptable pet in our community has a loving, permanent home, the Kentucky Humane Society will be here. And we will need your help.

As you reflect on where to spend your talent, time and treasure in 2013, please consider how you can further help the Kentucky Humane Society’s lifesaving mission. Consider including the Kentucky Humane Society in your estate plans, or contribute to the KHS endowment, so that your gift can help pets far into the future. Or commit to volunteering to help our animals. However you decide to support our community’s homeless pets in 2013, you will be making a difference—and the animals will be grateful.

With gratitude, Lori Kane Redmon President-CEO

11,038 S.N.I.P. ClientsMore than 11,000 cats and dogs were spayed or neutered at our high-quality, donor-supported S.N.I.P. Clinic last year. This is the highest number on record—and 1,038 more than our 2012 goal. KHS opened the S.N.I.P. Clinic in 2007 as part of our proactive approach to ending pet overpopulation. Since the S.N.I.P. Clinic opened, our city’s two largest animal shelters have seen a significant decrease in the number of animals admitted. The S.N.I.P. Clinic serves animals from three primary sources: owned cats and dogs; adoptable pets from regional shelters that do not have adequate spay/neuter capabilities; and community, unowned cats (also known as feral cats).

In October our S.N.I.P. Clinic celebrated its 50,000th spay/neuter surgery. This milestone occurred two months ahead of schedule, thanks to the hard work and dedication of the S.N.I.P. staff and volunteers. The 50,000th animal to receive surgery at the clinic was Tippy, a Siamese mix cat, seen with clinic veterinarian Dr. Heather Thomas (pictured left).

At the Kentucky Humane Society, our impact is measured by the number of homeless animals

we save and the lives we touch.

6,091 Pets RehomedFor the third year in a row, more than 6,000 pets found homes through the Kentucky Humane Society, the state’s oldest and larg-est pet adoption agency. A total of 6,091 cats and dogs were rehomed by KHS in 2012, including 5,908 who were adopted at a KHS adoption cen-ter and 183 who were

transferred to other rescue organizations for specialized placement. KHS has nine permanent adoption locations—our Main Campus in South Louisville, our East Campus adjacent to Westport Village, and seven adoption centers located in Feeders Supply stores—making choosing the adoption option easy and convenient.

585 GraduatesLast year 585 dogs and their owners went through KHS Behavior Training classes, ranging from basic puppy to agility and special classes designed for dog-reactive dogs and very shy dogs. These classes help strengthen the human-animal bond, ensuring harmony in the home and helping keep pets out of area shelters. KHS behavior trainers use positive reinforcement techniques that make learning fun for pets and their people. KHS classes are open to any pet owner in the community, and every KHS adopter receives a coupon for a discounted class.

Maidey, a Labrador retriever mix, was found abandoned in a parking lot and brought to KHS. She was extremely timid and fearful of men. At KHS she received behavior training to help her gain confidence. After she was adopted, her family enrolled her in a KHS Manners for Life class. Maidey graduated with flying colors, and is a much loved member of her family.

IMPACTA Year of

Romeo, a three-year-old Chihuahua, arrived at KHS as a stray in November. He had a broken pelvis, a neurological disorder and was blind. KHS addressed his medical issues and reunited him with his family.

100% of Adoptable Pets SavedIn 2012 KHS made a commitment to save every single adoptable, behaviorally sound pet we took in and to never euthanize a pet because of lack of space. With the commitment of our board and staff and by asking pet owners to schedule appointments for incoming animals to ensure we had adequate kennel space, KHS saved 100% of the healthy, behaviorally sound animals who came through our doors—including elderly pets with medical issues, like Pearlie.

At 13 years old, Pearlie was found as a stray. She was filthy and covered in 10 pounds of matted fur and mud. She had a skin infection and her teeth were in terrible shape. After a haircut, medicated baths and the removal of numerous teeth, Pearlie is now enjoying her retirement with her new owner.

374 Lost Pets Returned to OwnersThe Kentucky Humane Society accepts stray dogs and cats as space allows and by appointment. KHS holds pets for the legally required stray hold period, giving owners the opportunity to reclaim their pets. After the stray hold period has passed, pets who pass our health and behavior assessment are placed for adoption. Last year KHS returned 374 lost pets to their owners or guardians—one quarter of all the strays we took in. To help increase the likelihood that stray pets are reunited with their owners, KHS microchips all our adoptable pets and offers low-cost microchipping of owned pets.

Working CatsOccasionally KHS receives cats who have successfully lived outside in the past and who do not adjust well to indoor life. In addition, some cats exhibit behavior issues that make them unsuitable for home adoptions. To give these cats options, KHS created its Working Cats program. Working Cats are placed in appropriate indoor/outdoor locations such as barns, warehouses and garages. In return for food, care and shelter, Working Cats help keep rodents away. Through this lifesaving, innovative program, KHS has placed 86 cats in 2012 and continues to attract interested adopters.INNOVATION

A Year of

The Kentucky Humane Society uses proactive approaches to end pet homelessness. KHS is often a national leader in the humane industry,

always willing to innovate and to lead the way to save more lives.

Free Rides & S.N.I.P. Surgeries

Lack of financial resources and transportation are two common

reasons pet owners cite for not spaying or neutering their pets. To address these

concerns, in 2012 KHS launched its Urban Transport program to provide free spay/neuter

surgeries and free rides to and from its S.N.I.P. Clinic, a high-quality, donor-supported public spay/neuter clinic. The program targets animals most at-risk of ending up in shelters—cats and pit bull terriers—and focuses on specific ZIP codes. Last year 423 cats and pit bull terriers in these neighborhoods were spayed or neutered through this proactive program—thanks to a generous grant from PetSmart Charities Inc. In addition to this program, the S.N.I.P. Clinic provided more than $12,000 worth of financial aid to low-income clients, ensuring that lack of finances did not prevent pet owners from spaying or neutering their pets.

Life-Saving PartnershipIn 2012 the Kentucky Humane Society partnered with Louisville Metro Animal Services (our city’s publicly funded shelter) and Alley Cat Advocates (a local nonprofit dedicated to spaying and neutering unowned cats) to apply to be a Partner Community with the ASPCA (the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals). After a rigorous, national selection process that included in-depth interviews, analysis and site visits, the ASPCA announced in August that Louisville had been chosen as its 2013 Partner Community. Just one city a year is chosen to join this prestigious alliance. Through the five-year partnership, Louisville’s participating agencies will receive expert advice, data analysis and funding opportunities from the ASPCA. The goal is to jointly save more animal lives by increasing the number of animals who are adopted, increasing spay/neuter surgeries and expanding programs that help keep pets in their homes and out of area shelters.

Behavior TrainingSince 2000 the Kentucky Humane Society has offered affordable positive-reinforcement behavior training classes for dogs and their owners. In 2012 KHS introduced a number of

new classes designed to help resolve specific issues that make dogs more likely to wind up in shelters, such as aggression toward other dogs, extreme shyness and separation anxiety. These classes provide practical support for overwhelmed owners, helping repair the human-animal bond.

Help LineIn June KHS launched a free Behavior Help Line as part of its proactive solutions to reduce the number of pets turned in to area shelters. Pet owners in our community, regardless of how they acquired their cats or dogs, can call the KHS Help Line at 502-509-4PET (4738) to receive expert advice. In 2012 more than 300 people called the Help Line and received free advice for common behavior issues—such as litter box issues, house soiling, excessive barking, destruction, fear and aggression.

KHS Help Line 509-4PET (4738)

KHS introduced a number of new behavior classes in 2012. Some are designed for dogs with specific behavior issues such as fear or aggression. Others are pure fun, such as Treibball (shown here), a competitive herding game played with balls.

Fragile PetsMany pets arrive at the Kentucky Humane Society with broken spirits or bodies. Some come to KHS in pain

from untreated illness, disease or traumatic accidents. Some exhibit behavior issues such as fear or anxiety.

Others have been physically and emotionally harmed by humans. In 2012 KHS expanded its efforts to save these

fragile animals, using more than $24,000 in donor-supported funds for medical and behavior diagnosis and treatment. In

addition, 112 shelter dogs went through KHS’ lifesaving Behavior Modification programs, which taught them appropriate behavior and readied them for adoption.

Helping Other SheltersAcross our state, many public shelters are overwhelmed with too many animals and not enough adopters. To help alleviate overcrowding and maximize the number of lives saved, KHS takes in as many animals from other high-volume shelters as we can and as space allows. Last year 3,271 dogs and cats were transferred to KHS from other shelters, including our ASPCA Community Partner, Louisville Metro Animal Services (LMAS). KHS is LMAS’ largest transfer partner, taking in 1,137 cats and dogs from our city’s public shelter in 2012.

Loretta and her kittens came to KHS in November, after they had been turned in to Louisville Metro Animal Services as strays. A KHS foster volunteer cared for the family until the kittens were old enough to be weaned and spayed or neutered. All have been adopted.

Rescue 2012 was a difficult year for many pets in our state and region. Many were left injured or homeless after tornadoes ripped through communities. KHS took in 52 pets from tornado-ravaged counties in Kentucky and Southern Indiana. Last year KHS also sheltered many animals who had been seized from cruelty investigations—including 65 dogs who were rescued from a horrific puppy mill by the ASPCA and eight dogs from Henderson County who were rescued from a hoarding situation. KHS found homes for all of these animals.

Kat, a five-year-old Bichon Frise, was brought to KHS after a puppy mill in Morehead, Ky., was shut down. Kat had spent her entire life in a small metal cage and was forced to breed constantly. Kat was adopted and is now a cherished member of a family.

COMPASSIONA Year of

Long-Term Resident CatsIt’s often hard for adult cats to compete with young, frisky kittens and playful teenagers—not to mention dogs and puppies. In fact, adult cats spend twice as long in shelters as kittens and three times as long as dogs before finding their forever homes. To highlight these often overlooked animals, during Adopt-a-Shelter Cat month in June, KHS waived adoption fees for long-term resident cats—those who had been at KHS for two months or longer. The public responded with an outpouring of compassion and support. By the end of the adoption promotion, 38 long-term resident cats had finally found loving homes.

True Blue (above) was brought to KHS after he was hit by a bus, his back leg shattered. Using donations, KHS took True Blue to an orthopedic specialist, who patched the puppy together with metal plates and pins (left). True Blue is now a happy, healthy dog who enjoys chasing balls and playing with his new family.

Seven days a week, cats and dogs are brought to the Kentucky Humane Society. Many were once loved. Some have been abused or neglected. All have nowhere else to go. At KHS, each animal is treated with love and compassion.

Ginger, a four-year-old tabby cat, had been at KHS for 10 months. With her common color and age, as well as her quiet personality, she was easy to overlook. When she was finally adopted, the entire KHS staff celebrated.

Community CatsCommunity, unowned cats (also known as feral cats) are the number-one contributor to pet overpopulation in our area. Often these cats have caretakers who feed them, but no one who owns them. Studies show the most effective way to control community cat populations humanely is to use the Trap-Neuter-Return (T-N-R) method. KHS partners with local advocacy group Alley Cat Advocates (ACA) to provide spay/neuter surgeries to these cats. ACA volunteers trap the cats and bring many of them to the KHS S.N.I.P. Clinic to be altered and vaccinated. ACA then returns the cats to their homes, where they continue to live out their natural lives, unable to breed. Over time, cat colonies decline naturally through attrition. Last year the Kentucky Humane Society’s S.N.I.P. Clinic altered 2,738 community cats, which accounted for 25% of all surgeries performed at the clinic.

The Kentucky Humane Society

has one of the oldest Humane Education

programs in the country. In 2012 a record number

558 campers attended one of KHS’ weeklong spring

break or summer camps. These positive, hands-on camps help

children build a sense of kindness, respect and responsibility while having fun. An additional 4,632 children were reached through KHS’ in-classroom B.A.R.K. program (Be Aware, Responsible & Kind), Girl Scouts or Boy Scouts programs or shelter tours. KHS Humane Education programs teach children to be responsible pet guardians, helping to create a more humane future.

SERVICEA Year of

172 Foster ParentsLast year 172 KHS foster parents cared for 1,114 animals until they were well enough or old enough to be adopted—including 109 puppies, 322 dogs, 625 kittens and 58 cats. Last year KHS started a behavior program for foster caregivers, training them to rehabilitate behaviorally challenged animals. Fourteen dogs spent time with foster caregivers trained to build the confidence of shy dogs or help dogs overcome resource guarding issues.

494 VolunteersWhether they are playing with kittens in a cat colony room or keeping pets warm as they wake up from surgery at the S.N.I.P. Clinic, our volunteers make a difference for our animals. KHS volunteers walk dogs, socialize cats, take photos and write bios of adoptable pets, answer phones and work at KHS fundraising events. In all, our 494 volunteers worked 121,148 hours last year, donating $2.6 million worth of services on behalf of our pets. KHS has volunteer programs for adults, high school students and children as young as 10 when accompanied by a parent.

11 Pets Find RefugeMany victims of domestic violence choose to stay with their abuser because they don’t want to leave a beloved animal behind. Working with the Center for Women and Families, the KHS Safe Haven program places animals owned by survivors of domestic abuse in secure, loving temporary homes. The survivors may reclaim their pets once they are on their feet and living in a safe, secure environment. Last year three cats and eight dogs found refuge through this program.

Teddy, a tiny Pomeranian, was brought to KHS after his owner sought refuge in a shelter for survivors of domestic violence. The little dog cowered, trembled and threatened to bite anyone who came near him. A KHS staff member took him in, loved him and taught him to trust. Teddy is now living in a secure, quiet home, where he no longer witnesses abuse.

The Kentucky Humane Society depends on the services of our

generous volunteers, who provide loving care for our pets. At the same time, KHS provides services to our community, helping strengthen the human-animal bond.

7,814 Pet Lodging ReservationsKHS Pet Resorts are popular with pets and their owners. Owners can choose a rustic setting for nature-loving pets at our Fern Creek Pet Resort or luxury accommodations for pampered pets at our Eastpoint Pet Resort. A number of á la carte activities may be added, from extra walks to Doggie Daycare to grooming. In 2012, 7,814 pet boarding reservations were made at the Kentucky Humane Society’s Eastpoint Pet Resort and Fern Creek Pet Resort – an 8% increase over the year before. Appointments for pet grooming increased by 18% over the year before, to 5,053 grooming appointments. All this is good news for shelter pets, as proceeds from the KHS Pet Resorts support our lifesaving mission.

Garfunkel and his brother, Simon, were found in a cardboard box, abandoned in a parking lot. They were just two weeks old and too young to be on their own. They were brought to KHS, where they were bottle fed and cared for by a foster volunteer until they were old enough to be neutered and adopted.
