Humane law enforcementinvestigation and field services our humane law enforcement department pursues cases of animal cruelty and neglect, enforces laws, educates the public on proper care for their animals, and rescues animals from emergency situations. Serving as the voice for the voiceless, this department has made a significant impact on the lives of animals. In fiscal 2011-12, twelve cases were prosecuted, but thousands more were resolved to ensure the welfare of the innocent animals involved. A sizable case involved 117 animals that were seized from a pet store, held in our protective custody for three months, and ultimately adopted. Beyond investigations of animal cruelty, our field services officers provide assistance to the municipalities of oceanside and vista by retrieving stray animals and responding to animal-related calls as part of our contractual responsibilities. 1,845 cases of neglect, abuse or request for assistance were responded to.cruelty and neglect reports responded to 1,845cases resolved 1,817cased submitted for prosecution 12animals seen in the field 13,305animals taken into custody (relinquished and seized) 399notices of violation 1,269pre- and post- seizure hearings 10pet shop, stable/feed store, rodeo, circus, foster and other inspections 171educational speaking engagements 38animal bite quarantines 433number of field services calls to provide assistance ****** 7,240 ****** calls include reports of animals running stray, animals left in hot cars, calls for police assistance and calls to perform animal welfare checks in oceanside and vista.animal rescue reserve (arr)animals are especially vulnerable during times of disaster, and the strength of our animal rescue reserve provides the assistance and expertise needed to perform rescue operations and save lives. The animal rescue reserve (arr) consists of a specially trained team of volunteers equipped to rescue animals threatened by natural disasters such as fires, floods, and other emergency situations. Few realize the impact of this mighty group. Arr volunteers have been dispatched to hurricane relief centers, fire zones and some of the most challenging environments where the lives of animals have been threatened.hours of arr volunteer training 4,519hours spent executing rescue 248animals assisted in emergency situations 38

Activity 3

Community outreach community programs and humane educationthe goal of our community programs and humane education department is to branch out across the community, impacting more people and providing more education and information to help spread seeds of compassion across the community. In the past fiscal year, the humane education department reached 37,411 youth and adults through its many programs. Some examples include the animal adventure camp held each year in the spring and summer, special lectures offering tips and useful information for pet owners, and fun gatherings where people can enjoy the company of fellow animal lovers while socializing their animals. Another unique program is project keppt (keeping every person and pet together), which occurs monthly at both our central and north campuses. Here, support is provided to those in the community who need assistance in keeping and caring for their companion animal. We offer a vaccination clinic, pet food bank, licensing, micro-chipping, behavior and training advice, pet-friendly housing referrals and more. Also through this department, we are proud to offer humane education and useful resources to create a brighter tomorrow.adult program participationdoggie cafe 546 happy hour lectures 243 pet loss support group 116 pet first aid classes 115on site adult participation 1,020 info booths 15,537 speaking engagements 261off-site adult participation 15,798total adult participants 16,818youth program participationanimal adventure camp (spring and summer) 435 birthday parties 1,151 storytimes 303 home-school programs 186 scout programs 497 general tours 990on-site youth participants 3,562school outreach 16,842 project trust ******* 355off-site youth participants 17,031 ******* project trust (teaching respect using sympathy and training) is a three-week long after school program that teaches compassion and respect for all living things in underserved areas of the community.pet-assisted therapy (p-at)the love and companionship an animal can provide is a special gift that everyone deserves. But for some, age or life circumstances prevent the opportunity to enjoy the wagging tail of a dog, the comforting purr of a cat or the furry snuggle of a rabbit or guinea pig. The san diego humane society's pet-assisted therapy program touched the lives of thousands last year, as volunteers brought dogs, rabbits, and guinea pigs to patients at convalescent homes, hospitals, mental health centers, abused children's homes, juvenile detention centers and more. Sharing the gift of love, spreading seeds of joy, and boosting spirits is the amazing work of our pet-assisted therapy team. 12,876 people at 639 facilities enjoyed the unconditional love of a pet-assisted therapy animal this year.total facilities visited 639 total people reached 12,876project keppt*total people impacted 10,254 total animals impacted 9,441number of enrolled families** 390number of enrolled animals 878 *project keppt (keeping every person and pet together) provides vital assistance to pet owners in need.
