THE APL PROVIDES SHELTER, CARE, AND MEDICAL TREATMENT TO ANIMALS THAT HAVE LOST THEIR HOMES AND/OR SUFFERED CRUELTY OR NEGLECT. 0 0 3049041 518375 ANIMAL SHELTERING, CARE & OUTREACH*: THE APL OPERATES A 34,000 SQUARE FOOT SHELTER AND RESOURCE CENTER FOR ANIMALS THAT HAVE BEEN SURRENDERED BY THEIR OWNERS, IMPOUNDED BY OUR HUMANE AGENTS, TRANSFERRED IN FROM OTHER OVERCROWDED SHELTERS OR IN RESPONSE TO EMERGENCY SITUATIONS, AND FOR STRAY CATS BROUGHT IN BY GOOD SAMARITANS. ONCE AT THE APL, THEY RECEIVE SHELTER AND ALL OF THE CARE AND TREATMENT THEY NEED UNTIL THEY CAN BE PLACED FOR ADOPTION. WHEN THE SHELTER IS FULL OR WHEN ANIMALS HAVE SPECIAL NEEDS THAT WILL BE BETTER MET IN A HOME, THEY ARE PLACED WITH TEMPORARY, VOLUNTEER FOSTER FAMILIES UNTIL THEY CAN COME BACK TO THE APL FOR ADOPTION. IN 2021, MORE THAN 1,600 OF THE 4,515 ANIMALS THAT WERE ADMITTED TO THE APL RECEIVED CARE IN **************** (SEE SCHEDULE O FOR CONTINUATION) **************** ...FOSTER HOMES. BY THE END OF 2021, WE HAD PLACED 4,172 OF THOSE ANIMALS THROUGH ADOPTIONS, BEING RETURNED TO THEIR OWNERS, OR BEING TRANSFERRED TO OTHER RESCUE GROUPS OR SHELTERS FOR ADOPTION RESULTING IN AN OVERALL 91% SAVE RATE. THROUGH "PROJECT CARE" (COMMUNITY ANIMAL RETENTION EFFORT), THE APL HELPS INCOME-QUALIFIED PET OWNERS IN CLEVELAND BY PROVIDING THEM WITH ACCESS TO CARE AND RESOURCES, SUCH AS PET FOOD, GROOMING, BASIC VETERINARY CARE, THAT THEY WANT AND NEED FOR THEIR PETS. IN 2021, PROJECT CARE ASSISTED MORE THAN 1,300 DESERVING PETS IN THE CITY OF CLEVELAND. THE APL RELIES ON THE SUPPORT OF PRIVATE DONORS AND VOLUNTEERS TO MAKE ALL OF THIS WORK POSSIBLE. THE APL DOES NOT RECEIVE GOVERNMENT FUNDING FOR OPERATIONS. IT ALSO IS NOT GOVERNED BY AND DOES NOT RECEIVE REGULAR OPERATING SUPPORT FROM ANY NATIONAL ANIMAL WELFARE ORGANIZATION. 457739 10936 HUMANE INVESTIGATIONS*: THE APL IS THE LEAD AGENCY IN CUYAHOGA COUNTY FOR INVESTIGATING ANIMAL CRUELTY, NEGLECT, AND ABANDONMENT. UNDER OHIO LAW, THE CLEVELAND APL'S BOARD OF DIRECTORS IS AUTHORIZED TO APPOINT HUMANE SOCIETY AGENTS TO ENFORCE LOCAL AND STATE ANIMAL PROTECTION LAWS. THOSE APPOINTMENTS MUST THEN BE APPROVED BY THE CUYAHOGA COUNTY PROBATE COURT. THE APL DOES NOT RECEIVE PUBLIC FUNDING IN SUPPORT OF THIS PROGRAM; IT IS FUNDED SOLELY BY DONATIONS. IN 2021, THE HUMANE INVESTIGATIONS TEAM OPENED 1,622 NEW INVESTIGATIONS OF SUSPECTED ANIMAL ABUSE AND EITHER IMPOUNDED OR RESCUED 1,163 ANIMALS. THE APL'S HUMANE SOCIETY AGENTS ALSO SEEK JUSTICE FOR ANIMAL VICTIMS OF ABUSE BY WORKING WITH PROSECUTORS TO CONVICT THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN CHARGED WITH **************** (SEE SCHEDULE O FOR CONTINUATION) **************** ...ANIMAL CRUELTY OR NEGLECT. UNDER OHIO LAW, HUMANE AGENTS ARE MANDATED REPORTERS FOR CHILD AND ELDER ABUSE AND NEGLECT. THE EXPENSES SHARED IN THIS SECTION REPRESENT THE CORE COST OF OPERATING OUR HUMANE INVESTIGATIONS PROGRAM. IT DOES NOT INCLUDE THE COST OF CARING FOR THE ANIMAL VICTIMS OF CRUELTY THAT COME IN THROUGH THIS PROGRAM, WHICH RANGES FROM BASIC DAILY CARE TO EXTENSIVE, SOMETIMES COMPLEX, VETERINARY CARE TO HEAL THEIR BROKEN BODIES AND SAVE THEIR LIVES. 1173886 0 SHELTER VETERINARY SERVICES*: THE APL VETERINARY CLINIC PROVIDES SPAY/NEUTER, MEDICAL, AND OTHER SURGICAL SERVICES FOR ANIMALS THAT HAVE BEEN ADMITTED TO THE APL FOR REHOMING. ALL CATS, DOGS AND RABBITS ARE STERILIZED PRIOR TO BEING ADOPTED FROM THE APL. THROUGH DONATIONS TO THE SECOND CHANCE PROGRAM, ANIMALS THAT HAVE BEEN SURRENDERED TO THE APL'S SHELTER AND HAVE INJURIES OR ILLNESSES THAT CAN BE SAFELY AND HUMANELY TREATED WILL RECEIVE THE CARE (MEDICAL AND/OR SURGICAL) THAT THEY NEED SO THEY, TOO, CAN FIND A NEW HOME. IN 2021, 3,096 SHELTER ANIMALS WERE STERILIZED, AND 2,854 SHELTER ANIMALS RECEIVED 8,139 DIAGNOSTIC TESTS, TREATMENTS, PROCEDURES, AND/OR SURGERIES. 380991 321359 ANIMAL WELFARE CLINIC (AWC)*: THE APL'S AWC PROVIDES SPAY/NEUTER SERVICES FOR COMMUNITY CATS THROUGH TRAP-NEUTER-RETURN (TNR) AND SPAY/NEUTER SERVICES FOR ADOPTABLE ANIMALS FROM OTHER SHELTERS AND RESCUE GROUPS. IN 2021, 3,235 COMMUNITY CATS WERE STERILIZED THROUGH THE TNR PROGRAM AND 1,727 ADOPTABLE ANIMALS FROM OTHER PARTNER SHELTERS AND RESCUE GROUPS WERE STERILIZED.* DURING 2021, DEMAND FOR PROGRAMS, SERVICES, AND RESOURCES TO HELP PETS IN THE COMMUNITY SURPASSED PRE-PANDEMIC LEVELS. HOWEVER, CONSISTENT WITH NATIONAL TRENDS, OTHER SHELTER PROGRAM AND SERVICE NUMBERS HAD NOT YET RETURNED TO PRE-COVID-19 LEVELS. THIS CAN BE ATTRIBUTED TO A COMBINATION OF THE IMPACT OF ONGOING COVID-19 PRECAUTIONS DURING PART OF THE YEAR AND TO THE CHANGING LANDSCAPE IN ANIMAL WELFARE AND SHELTERING THAT HAS BEEN DRIVEN BY PROGRAM SUCCESS. SOME ELEMENTS OF THE "CHANGING LANDSCAPE" WERE ALREADY IN MOTION. FOR EXAMPLE, AGGRESSIVE SPAY/NEUTER EFFORTS AND AN INCREASED FOCUS ON STRATEGIES THAT DECREASE PREVENTABLE PET SURRENDER ARE BRINGING ANIMAL INTAKE DOWN AND ALLOWING US TO PUT MORE RESOURCES INTO SAVING ANIMALS THAT REQUIRE ADVANCED, OFTEN EXPENSIVE, CARE. OTHER ELEMENTS CONSIST OF LESSONS LEARNED DURING THE SHUTDOWN THAT WE ARE TRYING TO APPLY LONG TERM. FOR EXAMPLE, KEEPING THE NUMBER OF ANIMALS HOUSED IN THE SHELTER BELOW THE TIPPING POINT BETWEEN SUPPORTING ANIMAL HEALTH AND HAPPINESS AND INCREASING STRESS AND THE LIKELIHOOD OF DEVELOPING SHELTER-ACQUIRED ILLNESSES, SUCH AS UPPER RESPIRATORY INFECTIONS. WITH THAT SAID, BY THE END OF 2021, THE APL WAS FULLY OPEN TO THE PUBLIC AND MOST PROGRAMS AND SERVICES WERE AT, CLOSE TO, OR TRENDING BACK TO PRE-PANDEMIC LEVELS DESPITE A FEW DIFFERENT APPROACHES. 380991 321359 5061657 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 0 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 5 0 1 87 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 20 20 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 OH X X SHARI GIBBS ANDRUS 2163771619 1729 WILLEY AVENUE CLEVELAND OH 44113 X CHRIS ANDERSON TREASURER 2.00 X X 0 0 0 ED PAVLISH EMERITUS 2.00 X 0 0 0 SHILPI BISWAS DIRECTOR 2.00 X 0 0 0 DEAN MUELLER VICE CHAIRPERSON 2.00 X X 0 0 0 KATHY TATMAN CHAIRPERSON 2.00 X X 0 0 0 TANZIE DANIELS DIRECTOR 2.00 X 0 0 0 AGELEKE ZAPIS DIRECTOR 2.00 X 0 0 0 MICHAEL COHAN DIRECTOR 2.00 X 0 0 0 RITA MAIMBOURG PAST CHAIRPERSON 2.00 X X 0 0 0 KARA DOWNING DIRECTOR 2.00 X 0 0 0 ELIZABETH HAGEN MD DIRECTOR 2.00 X 0 0 0 KAREN KAMINSKI DIRECTOR 2.00 X 0 0 0 DAWN SWIT DIRECTOR 2.00 X 0 0 0 JULIE TROTT-HEISEY DIRECTOR 2.00 X 0 0 0 MICHAEL WEIGAND DIRECTOR 2.00 X 0 0 0 MICHELLE NEWLAND DIRECTOR 2.00 X 0 0 0 TRISH DECENSI SECRETARY 2.00 X X 0 0 0 SACHIN JAVA DIRECTOR 2.00 X 0 0 0 SAMANTHA JOSEPH DIRECTOR 2.00 X 0 0 0 ANTOINETTE PERRY DIRECTOR 2.00 X 0 0 0 CHRISTINE SNYDER DIRECTOR 2.00 X 0 0 0 SHARI GIBBS ANDRUS SENIOR DIRECTOR OF FINANCE 50.00 X 82574 0 4907 SHARON A HARVEY PRESIDENT & CEO 50.00 X 173843 0 8194 JUDITH HUNTER SENIOR DIRECTOR OF DEVELOP 50.00 X 110967 0 6554 ALLISON LASH DVM MEDICAL DIRECTOR 50.00 X 142468 0 6914 509852 0 26569 3 0 1 0 RKD GROUP 1286 IMPERIA DRIVE HENDERSON NV 89052 DIRECT MAIL 373016 1 513422 631700 7277940 145017 8423062 PROGRAM SERVICE REVENUE 812900 846670 846670 846670 458713 458713 3515219 2670304 844915 844915 844915 34298 513422 67281 -32983 -32983 FFCRA PAYROLL CREDITS 999999 4000 4000 4000 10544377 850670 0 1270645 256417 121690 108651 26076 2812201 2396039 100165 315997 76802 52383 16796 7623 337278 284655 27507 25116 255015 208648 18234 28133 13830 13830 10000 10000 72000 72000 219725 219725 69390 69390 126754 120972 5287 495 105874 57692 6477 41705 81278 53292 11252 16734 145276 122410 11433 11433 4823 4823 22685 19329 1378 1978 539077 452825 43126 43126 85686 59576 20932 5178 ANIMAL CARE 727126 727126 CAPITAL CAMPAIGN EXPENS 166675 166675 POSTAGE 151823 1082 1380 149361 IN-KIND SUPPLIES RECEIV 145017 145017 209495 148268 4074 57153 6634247 5061657 456082 1116508 5017181 5181424 1830255 1859041 268193 220320 12864 18201 21178906 5742833 14639814 15436073 17925774 20472050 3205945 3454571 42900026 46641680 4616237 2742284 4616237 2742284 X 30086404 38183093 8197385 5716303 38283789 43899396 42900026 46641680 3910130 1705477 0 X X 0 1 X 1 0 X 8161253 12409085 6336879 6808430 8423062 42138709 1041431 1098969 1038829 721486 846670 4747385 9202684 13508054 7375708 7529916 9269732 46886094 4902776 8976296 3118805 2108322 3472481 22578680 0 4902776 8976296 3118805 2108322 3472481 22578680 24307414 257859 316696 502957 556268 458713 2092493 257859 316696 502957 556268 458713 2092493 9460543 13824750 7878665 8086184 9728445 48978587 0.49630 0.49380 0.04270 0.04380 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 386 0 1 72000 72386 0 PART II-B, LINE 1: 1G: DURING 2021, THE CLEVELAND APL PRESIDENT & CEO: - PHONE CALL WITH SEN.
