The organization coordinated the rescue of 16 wolfdogs from the Barstow Animal Shelter and arranged their safe transport to qualified rescue organizations and sanctuaries in Colorado, Wisconsin, and Northern California. Apex also secured the release of seven wolfdog puppies and six adult wolfdogs confiscated during a law enforcement operation, placing all of the puppies in Qualified homes and transporting the adults to Oregon, where the organization raised the funds necessary to build a new enclosure for their long-term care. In another rescue effort, Apex saved six wolfdogs from a hoarding situation in Northern California. Two of these animals were brought to Apex, where a new enclosure was constructed to provide them with permanent care. One wolfdog required several months of rehabilitation before being transported to a qualified sanctuary in New Mexico, while the remaining animals were placed with approved rescue organizations and permanent homes. Apex also rescued a wolfdog named Wolfy from a homeless encampment along with her two 2-day-old puppies after Wolfy had suffered a gunshot wound that required the amputation of one of her legs. The organization provided emergency veterinary care for Wolfy while staff and volunteers hand-raised the newborn puppies around the clock, ultimately ensuring all three animals were placed in loving, permanent homes. In addition to its rescue efforts, Apex provided free educational presentations to more than 3,000 students, promoting a greater understanding of wolves and wolfdogs. The organization also presented its Humanity of Wolves presentation to sold-out audiences at the Aquarium of the Pacific, Oak Canyon Nature Center, and Muzeo Museum, furthering its mission of educating the public and dispelling myths surrounding these often misunderstood animals. 527185 true true false false false false false false false false true false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false true false false false false false false false false true 0 0 false 2 true false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 7 5 true false false false false false false true false false false true false false false false false false X Steve Wastell 6615759261 1431 E Soledad Pass Rd Palmdale CA 93550 Paula Ficara Corrsp Sec 50.00 0.00 X 81146 0 0 Steve Wastell Treasurer 50.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Todd George Chairman 4.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Yuka Kobayashi Director 4.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Ian Winer Secretary 4.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Margareta Marro Director 4.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Suzi Landolphi Director 4.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 81146 0 false false false 0 583306 78432 583306 Program Services 55759 55759 Related Merchandise Sales 5080 5080 60839 8069 8069 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 652214 68908 X 0 0 0 0 81146 81146 0 32074 29829 2245 0 608 565 43 44169 41077 3092 0 0 0 0 0 0 11092 10316 776 3717 3457 260 2531 2354 177 0 0 71667 66650 5017 5191 4828 363 0 0 5036 4683 353 0 43059 40045 3014 2819 2622 197 Direct Animal Expenses 154283 143483 10800 Transportation 25779 23974 1805 External Rescue 10673 9926 747 Computer/Software 8537 7939 598 58378 54291 4087 560759 527185 33574 0 207890 58828 122389 0 0 0 0 0 0 2805 2872 302431 171398 124091 131033 388615 561781 0 0 0 457 3457 723858 880360 5000 500 137705 166438 142705 166938 X 581153 713422 581153 713422 723858 880360 X 91455 40814 X false false false X 263524 352163 435406 781284 568661 2401038 0 0 263524 352163 435406 781284 568661 2401038 0 2401038 0 0 0 2401038 60839 1.00000 1.00000 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 302431 171398 131033 131033 Credit Card Payable 12334 SBA EDIL 98288 Vehicle Loan 55816 166438 Ian Winer Director Vehicle X 50000 false true true X 1 20811 Market Value X Food and Supplies 1 57621 FMV false false false Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 8b Minutes are being kept for each meeting.
