SECOND CHANCE HUMANE SOCIETY | Annual Report 2009 | 3

Allison Branson, DVM President, Board of Directors

Kelly Goodin Executive Director

Dear Friends & Fellow Animal Lovers,

We are proud to present this Annual Report for 2009 to you as it reflects the successes we have accomplished toward our overall goals and mission. Although difficult to convey in a few short pages, this report outlines the breadth and depth of the programs and services that we provide to our communities.

We are delighted to have this opportunity to share our

achievements, which reach far beyond singularly operating a shelter. We rescue hundreds of orphaned pets every year but we also make a difference through our Community Outreach and other Programs.

None of our triumphs would be possible without the financial

support of our individual donors, leadership of our Board of Di-rectors, expertise and dedication of our staff, and the commit-ment of our volunteers. You, our supporters, are the foundation Second Chance rests securely upon and we are grateful for this opportunity to update you on what we have collectively attained.

2009 was an economically challenging year, we saw in-

creases in neglected and abandoned pets, and we saw de-creases in the availability of funds for non-profit organizations. Donors had to cut back on their generosity and even patrons of our Thrift Shop had to reduce their spending. In response, we developed an approach which further increased our operational efficiency and reduced our expenses without compromising the quality of care we provide our shelter pets or the services we provide our communities, such as spay/neuter financial assis-tance.

As we progress into 2010, our conservative fiscal policies,

combined with the backing of supporters like you, ensures that Second Chance will continue to be there for our furry friends in need, through good times and challenging times. We can share with confidence that Second Chance Humane Society is an or-ganization experiencing continued health and a very positive future, a future shaped by our vision of Loving Homes for All Pets. And again, we couldn’t do it without you!

In Gratitude,

PROGRAMS & Services

Located in southwestern Colorado, Second

Chance Humane Society serves the City of Ouray, the Towns of Mountain Village, Nor-wood, Placerville, Ridgway and Telluride, and the unincorporated areas of Ouray and San Mi-guel Counties, comprising a human population base of approximately 11,000. Our Shelter/Foster Program provides abandoned, abused, neglected and homeless dogs and cats a safe haven until they can be reunited with their fami-lies or adopted into new forever homes. In addi-tion to the Shelter/Foster Program, Second Chance has developed numerous programs and services having the goals of: educating the pub-lic on pet overpopulation issues and the humane treatment of animals, promoting spay/neuter practices, strengthening community awareness and interest in adoptable animals, and furthering the human-animal bond.

Saving Animals’ Lives Pets Under the Care of Second Chance

All pets that come under the care of Second

Chance Humane Society receive comprehen-sive health and behavioral needs assessments upon arrival, including temperament testing of dogs using nationally accepted criteria. Pets that arrive with health problems receive all nec-essary veterinary care.

Second Chance Humane Society has a strict policy that all adoptable pets are spayed or neu-tered, vaccinated and micro-chipped prior to leaving the shelter for their new home.

Pets that arrive with behavioral issues or manageable temperament problems receive special attention tailored to the corrective steps needed to rehabilitate them.

Animals having special medical needs re-ceive comprehensive veterinary care and treat-ment. Working in collaboration with The Wags and Menace Foundation, Second Chance has established The Wags and Menace Foundation Medical Fund, designated for offsetting the cost for non-routine procedures. During 2009, 24 pets having special medical needs were cared

for using these funds. Care ranged from treat-ment for fractures, a crushed hip, a mass re-moval, repair of a lacerated foot, to treating parasite infestations. Were it not for this care, many animals would have died, or at best, been relegated to a low quality of life.

Additional care for the orphaned pets in-volves dedicated volunteer efforts providing them with regular exercise, basic training, and socialization. This leads to a reduction in the pet’s stress levels, elevates their immune sys-tems, and lifts their spirits, resulting in minimal disease or virus outbreaks within the shelter, better adapted pets, and increased adoption rates.

Spay/Neuter Assistance Program

Second Chance Humane Society offers fi-nancial assistance to Ouray and San Miguel County residents who would otherwise not be able to afford the costs to spay/neuter their pets. Spay/neuter is the most effective and humane way to reduce pet overpopulation and Second Chance strives to help make this possible for all pet parents to do their part in saving lives.

2009 rebate amounts were as follows: Cat Neuter $45 Cat Spay/Dog Neuter $55 Dog Spay $65

In 2009 a total of 49 pets were sterilized as a result of the financial incentive provided to pet parents by our Spay/Neuter Rebate Program.

Feral Cat Program

Working to save lives beyond the pets under

our direct care, Second Chance Humane Soci-ety operates a Feral Cat Program for trapping, testing, spay/neutering, vaccinating and releas-ing feral cats back into the territory from which they came. Such practice manages the prolif-eration of feral cats by returning sterilized cats to their domain, thereby controlling the influx of new feral cats. Further, cats that test positive for FIV/FELP are euthanized to prevent these untreatable diseases from infecting other feral cats or the domestic cats sharing their area.

The past success of this program has re-duced the need for intervention, with only 6 feral cats needing management in 2009. However, it is critical to continue this program to maintain healthy and non-reproducing colonies through-out our region.

Promoting Responsible Pet Parenting

Second Chance Humane Society believes in the power of prevention to reduce the incidence of homeless pets.

By offering services such as Lost Pet Pre-vention, Pet Behavior Support, and Pet Place-ment, Second Chance works to maintain pets in their current home environment and reduce the number of pets left homeless in the region.

Lost Pet Prevention

Second Chance uses its pet columns and web site to promote collars with identification tags and microchips as the best insurance that a lost pet can, with help, find its way home. Be-cause collars may not be appropriate for cats and a dog can so easily become separated from its collar, Second Chance strongly advocates micro-chipping. All pets adopted from Second Chance are micro-chipped and this service is made available to stray pets being retrieved from the shelter by their parents or to the gen-eral public via the monthly low cost micro-chipping clinics offered at the Second Chance Shelter.

When pets are lost the key to their safe re-turn is quick action. Second Chance offers nu-merous resources to assist in swift pet/parent reunification such as: an animal hotline, web posting of lost and stray pets, information for contacting local law enforcement, and access to pet industry and media agencies that assist with finding lost pets.

In 2009 2 lost cats and 8 lost dogs micro-chipped by Second Chance were safely re-turned home. Overall, 49 pets were reunited with their families as a direct result of the ser-vices provided by Second Chance.

Pet Behavior Support

Pet Behavioral issues that lead many people to relinquish ownership of their pets to shelters are often easily corrected through understand-ing why the pet is displaying undesirable behav-iors and then applying appropriate, consistent, and humane corrective steps.

Although SCHS does not take responsibility for correcting a pet's behaviors, we are commit-ted to helping pets stay in their homes whenever possible, and can help with general behavioral advice and/or referrals to help find the best an-swers. This service is available through our Ani-


mal Helpline, our weekly pet columns and on-line blogs.

We strongly encourage pet parents to call the Animal Helpline at the first signs of behav-ioral issues, so that behaviors do not escalate to the point of injury of other persons, animals, or property.

During 2009 Second Chance assisted 52 pet parents with behavioral problems. Of these, over 20 pet surrenders were averted. Pet Placement

In the event that a parent must surrender a

pet, Second Chance offers assistance for find-ing a suitable home. Although the responsibility remains the pet parent’s, we can help in the fol-lowing ways:

Placing the pet on our webpage of adopt-able pets.

Matching the pet parent with someone on our "wish-list" searching for a particular pet breed/type.

Assessing whether the pet can be ac-cepted into our shelter.

Providing information about resources and nearby shelters for placing your pet.

In 2009 Second Chance assisted pet parents

with placing 66 pets in new homes.

Weekly Pet Column

The Second Chance Pet Column provides humane education, tips for handling behavioral problems, pet care information, and news about our organization. Published weekly in three re-gional newspapers, the Pet Column is typically written by one of our shelter pets. Surpassing its 200

th issue, the Pet Column has broad read-

ership and is a local favorite. Past issues of the Pet Column are archived on our web site. Second Chance Web Site

The Second Chance web site located at www.secondchancehumanesociety.org provides information about our adoptable pets, programs and services, upcoming events, volunteer op-portunities, organization and governance, and Thrift Shop. Averaging 500 visitors per month, the web site also serves as a resource for hu-mane education and accepts on-line donations.

Promoting the Human-Animal Bond Adoption and Reuniting Pets with Families

Every healthy, treatable and rehabilitatable dog and cat that arrives at Second Chance leaves either reunited with its family, or adopted into a new forever family (directly or through a


partner organization). Second Chance does not have a limit on the amount of time that a pet can stay in our Shelter, nor do we allow space avail-ability to alter our resolve to place all pets in a safe home environment. Our network of foster homes and partnering placement agencies en-ables us to cope during periods of peak Shelter intake.

All effort is made to identify stray pets upon arrival at our shelter and reunite them with their families in real time. Whereas in both 2002 and 2003 we were unable to reunite any pets with their families, in 2009 a total of 49 dogs and cats were reunited.

Our adoption process is a rigorous one with emphasis placed on every adoption being a suc-cessful one.

Since 2002, Second Chance has experi-enced a compounded annual adoption rate in-crease of 33%, leading to 317 pets being placed in adoption homes during 2009.

While our reclaim and adoption results may pale in comparison to larger agencies in metro-politan areas, on a human per capita basis they as much as triple the performance of these lar-ger agencies.

Pet Power Program

Pet Power is a form of Animal Assisted Ther-

apy - a growing practice in which pets are en-rolled to help people in various ways. The Sec-ond Chance Pet Power program involves volun-teers taking shelter pets to nursing homes in Montrose, CO to visit with the residents there.

Through research it has been determined that Animal Assisted Therapy programs provide many positive physical health benefits for peo-ple with problems like high blood pressure and other heart risks, as well as emotional issues such as depression and anxiety.

We’ve also learned that our shelter pets really thrive in this program, providing them a chance to get out of the shelter for a while and socialize with people.

Mobile Adoption Program

Second Chance Humane Society operates

the Mobile Mutts and Meows adoption RV to

reach out beyond our shelter for promoting pet adoption. Winter venues for mobile adoption include the nearby Petco Store and the KOTO

Ski Swap in Telluride. During the Summer, popular venues include Ouray, Ridgway and Telluride farmers’ markets, and local events.

During 2009 Second Chance took the RV to 19 events with an average adoption rate of 1 per event.



Collaborations

Second Chance works very hard to promote the human-animal bond throughout our service area and has learned that the most effective way to do this is through collaboration with the community, local governments and partner or-ganizations.

We conduct planned meetings with the com-munity to provide information and solicit feed-back to align our programs and services with community needs. For many of our events fundraising is a secondary interest, while form-ing relationships and gaining supporters and volunteers are primary.

Meeting with county, city and town govern-ments are conducted at least annually to learn of the broader animal welfare and control issues and develop solutions in partnership.

Collaboration with individual animal welfare organizations is critical to our ability to save as many lives as we are able. For example, some-times transferring out pets to partner agencies increases their options for adoption while trans-ferring pets in from other agencies having time restrictions will save that pet’s life.

On a broader scale, we collaborate with other animal welfare organizations, like The Wags & Menace Foundation, to develop funding to care for pets having special medical needs. Leveraging the influence of Colorado’s entire western slope, we are a member of the Western Colorado Animal Resource Coalition (WeCARe) which led to the opportunity to receive a 2009 grant from Maddie’s Fund, a foundation dedi-cated to creating a no-kill nation.

Looking ahead to our upcoming capital fund-raising campaign we worked with neighboring animal welfare organizations and the Animal As-sistance Foundation to tap into world-renowned non-profit consulting resources and practical in-formation for planning the campaign.

Within our immediate service region we col-laborate with, and receive funding from, local government entities who recognize that the ser-vices we provide support their animal control efforts and promote a safer, more compassion-ate community reflecting a greater quality of life.

Additionally we garner financial support and training opportunities from local organizations

which are similarly dedicated to the betterment of the overall region, such as the Telluride Foun-dation. These examples are but a short list of the many entities with whom we collaborate. Without these and the many others left unmentioned we would be unable to fully carry out our mission.

PLANNING for Our Future

SUSTAINABILITY Current Operating Income Sources

Second Chance Humane Society relies upon earned income, public support and local govern-ment funding to operate its many programs. Net income (excluding Income Earning Expense) for 2009 was $320,000 with the following break-down:

As evident in this breakdown, during 2009 Second Chance derived 60% of its operating revenue from earned income, particularly in-come generated by our Thrift Shop (52% of to-tal). In recent years our growth of earned in-come has not maintained pace with the growth of operating expense for our Shelter and pro-grams. While we have been able to realize growth in the amounts of public support and government funding received, we must acceler-ate earned income growth to ensure control of destiny. Sources of Operating Income Growth

The amount of income that can be generated by our Thrift Shop is constrained by the physical size and characteristics of the Shop build-ing. Such constraints can create limitations on accepting larger item donations and necessitate the expense of off-site storage for seasonal

items. Additionally, Shop layout is not condu-cive to an efficient workflow for processing do-nations, and the Shop grounds were designed/altered so as not to protect the building from seasonal flooding.

To address these issues Second Chance has embarked on a modest program of improve-ments to the Thrift Shop property. Much of the funding for these improvements was received from grants specifically designated for this pur-pose.

Exterior improvements necessary to prevent potential flooding were completed in the fall of 2009. Planned 2010 improvements include the addition of an on-site building for general stor-age and display of large items for sale, reas-signment of interior space to improve workflow and increase efficient use of retail space, and parking lot improvements.

Inevitably, even the expanded capacity en-abled by the ongoing Thrift shop improvements will fail to keep pace with organizational operat-ing costs as the need for our services grow. As a part of its advanced planning, Second Chance is searching for ways to reduce dependency on Thrift Shop revenue. Meanwhile, we remain in continued pursuit of additional public support and government funding.

CAPITAL INVESTMENT New Shelter

The present Second Chance Humane Soci-ety Shelter is located in Ridgway, Colorado. The Shelter property has been leased by Sec-ond Chance since the fall of 2004. Although this arrangement is workable, it has several draw-backs, foremost among these is the fact that we have reached Shelter capacity. Although we have never had to turn a homeless pet away, our waiting list for intake of owner surrendered pets grows and our dependence upon tempo-rary foster placement increases. Additionally, the facility was designed as a residence and not a shelter, thus creating various workflow chal-lenges and inefficiencies.

Shelter location is also an issue. Located in a business section of Ridgway, our neighbors include a restaurant having an outside patio ad-

jacent to our outside dog kennels and exercise yard. Striving to be a good neighbor at all times, we have the added expense of a dog yard moni-tor during restaurant business hours to discour-age barking dogs.

Second Chance has, for a long time, had a new purpose-built shelter in its future plans, but the realities of funding limitations and the neces-sity to manage responsibly have caused us to defer such a major commitment. In 2003, how-ever, we were able to fully pay off the note on the property that will become the location for our new shelter.

Feedback received in community meetings clearly indicates that there is a growing desire for us to move forward with a new shelter that we hope will translate into support when it be-comes a viable choice. Determining the feasibil-ity of capital fundraising is a top priority for Sec-ond Chance looking forward to 2010. In the in-terim, new Shelter design is ongoing.

Capital Fundraising Campaign

The feasibility of a successful capital fund-

raising campaign is of paramount concern, par-ticularly in the economic environment of 2009 - 2010. Beyond having a clear understanding of construction cost, with our present Shelter, Sec-ond Chance has garnered the experience to un-

derstand what it will cost to operate the new Shelter. We are concerned that once a capital fundraising campaign is begun it will have a cannibalizing effect on the funds needed to sup-port ongoing operations. For this reason the dollar amount set for the campaign will include the cost for operating the new Shelter for its first three years.

Assessing feasibility and planning for the up-coming capital fundraising campaign is a strate-gic priority for 2010.


As a partner of the West-ern Colorado Animal Re-source Coalition (WeCARe), Second Chance was awarded 2009 grant funding from Maddie’s Fund, a foun-dation dedicated to eliminat-ing euthanasia of healthy and treatable dogs and cats.

The current grant funds support the collection and sharing of shelter statics to establish a baseline for the WeCARe region. These statistics are expressed us-ing the criteria and common language of the Asilomar Accords.

Beyond the numbers, We-CARe partners collaborate to place pets in homes throughout the region, rather than each individual agency having to rely solely on its own limited local re-sources.

While Second Chance

deeply mourns the loss of any life, six pets that were d e e m e d u n h e a l t h y /untreatable upon arrival at the shelter were humanely euthanized. In addition to these six, another seven pets were of such poor health that they died in ei-ther shelter or veterinary care.

2009 MADDIE'S FUND STATISTICS: SECOND CHANCE HUMANE SOCIETY

FINANCIAL Report

Earned income accounted for 74% of Second Chance’s 2009 gross income. Public support - dues, foundation grants and donations - accounted for 22%, and funding from local governments ac-counted for the remaining 4%.

Second Chance Humane Society is a fiscally conservative organization that never loses site of its mission, Saving Animals’ Lives. To that end, 71% of our operating expense directly benefitted the animals through costs for sheltering, medical and rehabilitative care, and our many preventative programs. General Operations expense - accounting ser-vices, administrative costs, and labor - were managed to only 12% of total ex-penses.

Our Balance Sheet for year-end 2009 reflects a financially strong organization, having over $544,000 in total assets. Of our cash assets, the sum of $94,000 is restricted to the purpose of operating and constructing a new shelter. Similarly, $142,000 of our fixed assets relate to property owned as the location for our fu-ture shelter.
