On November 1, 2012, Friends assumed operations of the City of Palm Springs' animal shelter. This partnership with the City to operate the shelter paved the way for a new and humane way of caring for shelter pets in the community. Committed to operating as a humane and compassionate animal care and adoption center, the shelter does not euthanize animals for space or for length of stay. As a public, open admissions shelter, Friends provides a safe haven for all animals, those who are readily adoptable, as well as those who require rehabilitation, training, and minor to severe medical treatment. The Palm Springs Animal Shelter is the only public shelter in the Coachella Valley operating under the no-kill philosophy, which, at times, creates a tremendous strain on operations. But we wouldn't do it any other way. Friends depends on the community to adopt, foster, volunteer, donate, and most of all, to believe that by working together, we can save lives. Friends of the Palm Springs Animal Shelter: * takes in lost, stray, abandoned, neglected, abused, and relinquished pets * provides quality medical care and socialization and enrichment to all animals entering the shelter, including neonatal puppies and kittens, and senior and hospice pets, both in the shelter and in loving foster homes * works to find all pets loving forever homes through an affordable, comprehensive yet convenient adoption process, focused on finding the right family for each pet * reunites lost pets with their guardians * provides dog licenses to Palm Springs residents * operates a weekly public low-cost vaccine clinic * provides low-cost microchips to the community * provides low cost/no cost spay neuter services to the entire Coachella Valley through our Fix A Friend program * operates a community Pet Food Bank to help low income, disabled, and/or infirmed Coachella Valley residents feed their beloved pets * manages a Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) program, helping to humanely reduce the number of free-roaming cats in the Coachella Valley thereby reducing the number of cats entering the Palm Springs Animal Shelter as well as the Riverside County Animal Shelter * serves as a resource for humane education in the Coachella Valley and beyond, with learning opportunities for animal advocates and volunteers of all ages 3573187 true true false false false false false false false false true false false false true false true false false false false false false false true false false false false true false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false true 29 0 true 96 true false false false false false true true false 0 false false false false false false false X 14 14 false false true false false false false true false false false true true true true true true true true false CA X Palm Springs Animal Shelter 7604165718 4575 Mesquite Ave Palm Springs CA 922643509 Daniel Rossi Executive Dir. 40.00 0.00 X 170757 0 0 Philip Caldwell Veterinarian 40.00 0.00 131981 0 0 Barton Verry Development Dir. 40.00 0.00 101970 0 0 Ginny Foat Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Dr Douglas Kunz DVM Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Tamara Hedges President 6.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Carl Johnson Vice President 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Bill Ruttan Director 5.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Louis Smith Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Jana Hayes Director 39.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Keith Zabel Vice President 9.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Tim Watts Secretary 6.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Lauren LeBaron Treasurer 6.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Scott Nevins Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Paul Ortega Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Alyson Yarberry Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Roger Tansey Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 404708 3 false true false 0 91617 13200 2269905 56482 2374722 Care and shelter fees 1267783 1267783 Clinic 198754 198754 Licensing 26429 26429 1492966 99656 99656 0 0 0 0 720562 91617 252942 467620 0 132782 90339 42443 42443 0 4477407 1635065 X 0 0 0 0 170757 124021 31624 15112 0 2263383 1977046 193719 92618 0 222790 191224 19701 11865 200666 174029 17987 8650 0 0 45601 39403 2752 3446 0 0 0 474849 343942 86189 44718 106884 4645 4278 97961 0 0 0 0 60441 42988 6205 11248 0 0 7673 7673 0 39780 39780 38970 38970 Animal care supplies 523849 523849 Facilities 120142 35959 39684 44499 Repair and maintenance 65015 29138 35682 195 Printing and graphics 57708 51163 3565 2980 211023 35780 119632 55611 4609531 3573187 647441 388903 1384490 681536 320549 0 134926 274877 610218 7420 0 0 0 55115 46198 40421 57682 333510 158880 130830 174630 188 1296177 0 0 0 1348 0 2678085 2538520 345555 340972 159453 161040 5550 1105 510558 503117 X 1785870 1260769 381657 774634 2167527 2035403 2678085 2538520 -132124 X false true X true false X 795119 1276775 2303380 1564393 2374722 8314389 275889 371835 460993 1434756 1535409 4078882 0 0 0 1071008 1648610 2764373 2999149 3910131 12393271 0 0 12393271 99656 99656 0 99656 99656 0 0 1071008 1648610 2764373 2999149 4009787 12492927 0.99200 1.00000 0.00800 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 79674 22181 57493 141723 51962 89761 112113 84737 27376 174630 1105 1105 5310147 832740 832740 4477407 4477407 5442271 832740 832740 4609531 4609531 X X X X X X false Faux Fur Ball 469403 69459 399944 56482 5650 111627 62392 Various Community Events 211854 22158 189696 5373 8369 3 130922 130922 2000 1049 812179 91617 720562 56482 13023 111627 71810 252942 467620 false false false false false false false false false Daniel Rossi Executive Dir. 170757 170757 X Auction Item 1 10000 FMV X Auction Item 1 10000 FMV X Auction Items 20 36482 FMV false false false Part I, Line 33, Revenues Not Reported Revenue included on the audited financial statements but excluded on the 990 totaled $832,740 for facility in-kind lease and services.
