Friends of Front Street Shelter continued our record of receiving the highest number of individual donations on the Big Day of Giving in 2023. We continued to return to in-person fundraising events in 2023 as more people were willing to venture out after the pandemic and enjoy the opportunity to congregate for a good cause.In addition to the program described below to provide part-time veterinarians for the Front Street Animal Shelter, we experienced other challenges in 2023. As we were able, Friends continued to help pet owners in need to obtain veterinary care, though the need far outstrips our resources. Nevertheless, donors funded almost $338,000 in direct aid for almost 250 owned pets in our community, eliminating the need to surrender those pets to all area shelters, not just Front Street. Recognizing the need to control a burgeoning population of community and feral cats, we sponsored a weekly spay/neuter day at the Community Spay Neuter Clinic at a cost of nearly $137,000 to fix and return almost 2,000 cats to their outdoor homes or feral colonies.We continued our efforts to help the animals coming into the Front Street Animal Shelter. We ensured that animals would have the veterinary care they need even if the shelter needs outside veterinary help, spending more than $66,000 in the effort. We realized that rescue organizations offer the greatest hope to keep euthanization rates as low as possible, so we continued to offer unprecedented cash grants to rescues who took animals with medical, behavioral, or other issues that make them difficult to adopt. We spent $114,000 on this groundbreaking effort. At a cost of more than $12,500, we also continued our innovative AdoptUs program for animals who need hospice care but still have love to give in the days they have left.We supported Front Streets monthly vaccination and microchip clinics, and Front Streets weekly pet-food pantry, both of which help everyone in need regardless of address or ability to prove their need. We sponsored events for rescues and other animal-welfare organizations to ensure their success, and we sponsored events where we can educate the public about Front Streets need for fosters and volunteers, and to publicize the benefits of spaying, neutering, and microchipping. We supported Home To Home, a re-homing website available to all who would otherwise need to surrender pets to all shelters in Sacramento County and beyond.We do much more than space permits here to benefit the lives of pets and people on both ends of the leash. We couldn't do it without the generosity of our big-hearted donors.A nationwide veterinarian shortage impacted shelters and clinics in and well beyond the Sacramento region. Friends of Front Street Shelter helped to alleviate the impact on the Front Street Animal Shelter by funding the hiring of part-time, on-call veterinarians at market rates and then seeking dollar-for-dollar reimbursement from the City. The cost of this undertaking has been in excess of $508,000 for 2023. Friends of Front Street seeks no additional fees or costs for providing this service to the shelter and the City. 1466466 true true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 31 0 true 2 true false false false false false true true false 0 false false false false false false false X 9 9 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true true true false CA X X Jim Houpt 9163967239 PO Box 22214 Sacramento CA 95822 Emily Blade Executive Dir. 40.00 0.00 X 74697 0 0 Dennis Greenbaum Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Katie Blomberg Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Brandon Pell Director 3.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Patty Manako Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Mariela Medina Director 5.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Georgann Eberhardt Treasurer Sec. 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Jim Houpt President 12.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Laryssa Braaten Vice President 4.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Lysa Royal Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 74697 0 false false false 0 55044 702277 757321 Veterinarian services 900099 508133 508133 508133 2664 2664 0 0 0 0 96353 55044 99952 -3599 -5958 0 0 0 1264519 508133 -3294 301896 301896 0 0 0 74697 64197 7000 3500 0 29171 24871 2900 1400 0 4335 3735 400 200 8413 7213 800 400 0 0 7512 7512 0 0 0 21918 21918 21680 21680 11474 9484 1000 990 0 0 0 1938 1748 190 0 5940 5940 0 0 0 2997 2562 290 145 Veterinary services / expenses 949626 949626 Shelter equipment and supplies 15798 15798 Foster program 14558 14558 Volunteer recognition 11480 11480 10977 9760 967 250 1494410 1466466 21059 6885 170497 183739 590579 385874 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 761076 569613 9454 47882 9454 47882 X 751622 521731 751622 521731 761076 569613 -229891 X false false false X 534369 721799 679268 726434 702277 3364147 0 0 534369 721799 679268 726434 702277 3364147 0 3364147 168 77 80 2664 2989 0 104475 -2743 28695 11541 51445 193413 3560549 508133 0.94480 0.94700 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED X X X X X X false CA Tails at Twlight 84166 32083 52083 5788 7043 45210 Paws to Party 67231 22961 44270 1043 24894 2175 13799 151397 55044 96353 6831 31937 2175 59009 99952 -3599 true A Place Fur Rescue 5610 Folsom Blvd Sacramento CA 95832 6250 0 Community Spay Neuter Clinic 3839 Bradshaw Rd Sacramento CA 95827 824901173 144707 0 Surgeries Howards Hound Haven 1145 Newcastle Rd Newcastle CA 95658 6000 0 Martina Animal Rescue 747 Rose Drive Benecia CA 94510 384030139 14050 0 Donation Rio Linda Feral Help Group PO Box 12 Rio Linda CA 95673 7950 0 Simbas Paw Dog Rescue 1500 W El Camino Ave Suite 13 Sacramento CA 95833 5700 0 SPCA Inc 6201 Florin Perkins Rd Sacramento CA 95828 941312343 5500 0 Donation The Chester Foundation 2515 Venture Oaks Way 135 Saramento CA 95833 35000 0 UCD School of Veterinary Med One Shields Avenue Davis CA 95616 6700 0 Foster dog tail amputation 3 6 Form 990, Part III, Line 2 A nationwide veterinarian shortage impacted shelters and clinics in and well beyond the Sacramento region.
