2016 annual report

2016

Report to the Community

A Personal Message from Our Leadership Dear Friends, 2016—the eve of our 50th year—marked another year of innovation and life-saving achievements here at PAWS. You, our dedicated donors and supporters, were there every step of the way, standing up as champions for animals and supplying a safety net to thousands in need. We remain incredibly humbled by your commitment to the animals.

The numbers speak for themselves. In 2016, 4,333 cats and dogs were cared for, 4,460 wild animals of 150 species admitted, and more than 6,800 children and adults engaged in educational programs designed to inspire compassion toward animals. That’s a whopping 15,593 heartbeats touched by PAWS. Many of you have joined the capital campaign efforts to build a new facility for PAWS, and we welcome you all to join us on this journey. The design and construction plans are complete, and ground breaking on the new 25-acre campus is planned in 2018. Once complete, more than 10,000 animals a year will receive care in purpose-built, state-of-the-art facilities.

In welcoming and sun-filled public spaces, the breadth of all this inspiring work will finally see

the light of day, with educational opportunities for children, adults, and veterinary professionals alike. If you’d like to learn more, please give us a call at 425.412.4030—we love to share the plans!

As we look to the future, we will continue to innovate, educate and advocate for animals.

Together, we will remain focused on making a better world for animals and people.

In the meantime, we hope you’ll be inspired and delighted by the accomplishments highlighted within these pages. Because of your unwavering support and investment, lives are transformed every day. And the impact of those compassionate steps you take to help animals is undeniable; we see it in the faces of happy adopters who’ve found their perfect companion, and in the energy of wild patients as they are returned to their native habitats.

Our Mission PAWS is a champion for animals— rehabilitating injured and orphaned wildlife, sheltering and adopting homeless cats and dogs, and educating people to make a better world for animals and people.

With heartfelt gratitude,

Our Vision Leslie Chandler President, PAWS Board of Directors

Annette Laico Chief Executive Officer

PAWS envisions a world where all people recognize the intrinsic value of animals and consistently make choices that demonstrate compassion and respect.

PAWS Helps Animals Find Their Way Home It’s true what they say—there’s no place like home. And, with your unwavering support, 2016 saw staff and volunteers working tirelessly to help more than 8,700 cats, dogs and wild animals in need find their second chances.

From the Barred Owl who recovered from a touch-and-go eye injury as a result of a window strike, to Pit Bull mix Ruby and her six tiny puppies—rescued from a hoarding situation— there have been countless heartstrings pulled and many happy endings made.

Wildlife patient numbers were up eight percent over 2015, with 4,460 wild mammals, birds, reptiles and amphibians of 150 species admitted for treatment and rehabilitation.

Highlights included caring for our first ever Great Egret patient, 12 American Black Bear cubs, nine Harbor Seals, 18 Bald Eagles and six Bobcats. We also treated a staggering 1,346 songbirds, and were privileged to care for

several endangered species, state-monitored species and species of concern, including 25 Western Pond Turtles, seven Ospreys and six Vaux’s Swifts.

Our companion animal adoption experts helped 3,732 cats and dogs find new homes.

15,000 was also something of a magic number this year, as we celebrated the 15,000th adoption at PAWS Cat City since its doors opened in 1997, and 15,024 animals rescued through the Placement Partner Program since its inception in 2005.

While this program assists other shelters close to home, our nationwide safety net grows ever stronger. Throughout the year, hundreds of cats and dogs were rescued and transferred to us from states including Arkansas, California, Georgia, Mississippi, Oklahoma, Texas and Tennessee. As part of The Humane Society of the United States’ Emergency Placement Program, we helped 20 cats and kittens rescued from flood-impacted areas of Louisiana find forever homes within weeks of their arrival.

And in mid-November, the ASPCA/Wings of Rescue Holiday Airlift kicked off our Home for the Holidays promotion, which resulted in a record-breaking 445 happy endings made between Thanksgiving and year-end.

Rescued from a golf course in November, this American Beaver was thin and had several bite wounds. Following supportive care and treatment, he was released to excellent beaver habitat in the mountains.

Chubbs was rescued from an overcrowded Tennessee shelter by Wings of Rescue, and flown to PAWS on Valentine’s Day. She was soon love-struck and snuggling with her purrrfect parents at PAWS Cat City!

PAWS Helps People Help Animals Making the world a better place for animals and people is an aspiration we take very seriously, and one we cannot achieve alone. We are fortunate to have incredible support from kindhearted citizens in our community and beyond, who volunteer their precious time to help transform animals’ lives every single day.

In 2016, an average of 400 volunteers per month collectively contributed more than 61,900 hours of compassionate care over the course of the year—from assisting with animal care and enrichment, to helping keep the shelter and wildlife enclosures in working order, and advocating for animals within the community.

Volunteer foster families continued to have a huge impact on saving more lives, caring for 2,207 cats, dogs, kittens and puppies in 2016.

This extended network of animal champions steps up at a moment’s notice to nurture newborns, or provide peaceful time away from the shelter for cats and dogs recovering from surgery or illness.

Receiving more than 26,500 calls and emails from the public in 2016, thankfully people continued to have a place to turn with their questions or concerns about wild and companion animals. And through a vibrant education program for all ages, 6,878 children and adults were inspired with ways to help animals—be it creating the perfect backyard habitat for their wild neighbors, or striving for a stronger relationship with their own furry companions.

By extending resources into the broader community, we can prevent animals from ever needing to enter the shelter and help keep families together. Launched in January 2016, the Pet Pantry Program shares donations of pet food that we cannot use with local food banks.

In 12 months, more than 1,000 pounds of food—alongside leashes, litter boxes, toys and other supplies—was donated to seven local food banks for redistribution to clients with a cat or dog in their home.

Top: Spending dedicated one-on-one time with adoptable cats and dogs is just one of the ways volunteers contribute invaluably to daily life at the shelter. Here, an adoptable cat enjoys extra attention from a volunteer at PAWS Cat City—a treat for both involved!

Middle: Volunteer work groups increased significantly in 2016. 331 individuals served a total of 1,187 hours assisting with group activities, including landscape maintenance and building projects.

PAWS Shares Ideas, Knowledge & Compassion The sharing of ideas through partnerships and collaboration remains key to making a difference in so many animals’ lives. In 2016, we were privileged to collaborate with many local and national agencies, including the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, The Humane Society of the United States, National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration, Tulalip Tribes, University of Washington, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife and Wings of Rescue.

Our hands-on veterinary and rehabilitation training opportunities continue to attract students from around the country. In 2016, we hosted eight veterinary and 17 rehabilitation students in our wildlife veterinary externship and rehabilitation internship programs, and welcomed four visiting veterinarians and six veterinary students to our companion animal clinic.

PAWS has its roots in advocacy and—after a call to action to animal lovers in late April—we were delighted to report the passing of the

Anti-Cruelty Bill. This bill has strengthened Washington State animal abuse laws, closing loopholes and improving statutes relating to the crimes of animal cruelty, animal fighting, and leaving or confining an animal in a motor vehicle or certain enclosed spaces.

The introduction of an early childhood education program, scout group activities, and hands-on volunteering for ages 16 and under demonstrated our ongoing commitment to children and teens in our community. One Girl Scout Leader commented, “It was a great combination of information about adopting, being responsible, and how PAWS helps.”

Over the course of the year, more than 4,200 children aged three years and older were engaged in learning about compassion for animals, through a combination of Kids Who Care classroom programs, on-site tours and custom activities.

Acknowledging that it’s never too late to learn, our program of interactive adult education events inspired more than 2,500 people to learn more—from vegan cooking and dog behavior, to the rising popularity of the catio, an outdoor enclosure that provides the perfect solution to keeping your feline friends and wildlife safe. We also connected with communities throughout the region at a variety of events, including Feather Fest, Puget Sound Birdfest and Monroe Swift Night Out.

Working alongside staff, a wildlife veterinary extern gains invaluable, hands-on experience during the examination of an American Black Bear patient. Given a clean bill of health, he was later released into the mountains by state wildlife officials.

By engaging students in fun and interactive education programs, children learn valuable lessons about the importance of appreciating, respecting and helping animals.

PAWS Provides Professional Care for Animals One of the important roles our wildlife hospital plays is to monitor for diseases affecting wildlife populations. In March, the arrival of a Little Brown Myotis Bat, found by hikers on a trail unable to fly, led to a sobering discovery: the first clinical case in western North America of White-nose Syndrome (WNS), a disease that has killed millions of bats in eastern North America. Despite our best efforts, the bat passed away. However, we remain vigilant, evaluating all bat patients for signs of WNS and educating the public on the importance of reporting sightings of sick or deceased bats to the appropriate state agencies. Media interest in this story was high, and included an Emmy Award-winning documentary producer interviewing PAWS Wildlife Veterinarian Dr. John Huckabee as part of a short film for PBS outlets, which aired in April 2017. You can watch it at paws.org/WNS. PAWS’ wildlife hospital also serves as a referral facility for challenging cases due to the staff’s experience in successfully treating extensive, difficult-to-manage wounds. In early spring, a Bald Eagle was transferred from another wildlife

center. Thought to have been on the losing end of a territorial dispute, he had a deep and severe facial injury exposing portions of his skull and nasal cavity. After stabilization, several surgeries and extensive wound management, the eagle healed fully and was released in May. PAWS’ companion animal medical team performed 2,674 spay/neuter surgeries in 2016, and 246 shelter animals benefitted from other procedures, including dentals, hernia repairs, mass removals and biopsies.

One such animal was Smudge, a six-year-old cat suffering from a life-threatening case of hepatic lipidosis (fatty liver syndrome). The condition was caused by Smudge not eating on her own for an extended period, and treatment would involve her being fed through a tube. Veterinarian Liz Vincenzi carried out the procedure to place the tube, and—under the care of a stellar staff person who committed to fostering Smudge, and feeding her through the tube multiple times a day—she made a full recovery.

Above: A baby American Black Bear patient—one of 12 bears cared for in 2016—receives a thorough health check by our wildlife veterinary experts.

Below left: Baymax fell ill shortly after arriving in November. The cause? A baseball in his stomach!

Following successful surgery, and recovery in foster care, this gentle giant was soon back to his old self. He started the new year on a brighter note, finding his perfect family.

Below right: This Big Brown Bat was found in a flower pot on someone’s apartment balcony. She was carefully taken to PAWS, where she was fed every two hours with a syringe and eyeshadow sponge soaked with food, until she was stronger and ready to be released.

Above: These adorable baby Barred Owls are two of three cared for during the summer of 2016. Found separately by concerned citizens, orphaned and in need of help, they were admitted to the wildlife hospital in May. After their intake examinations, our wildlife veterinarians were happy to report that both patients were uninjured and perfectly healthy. They just needed time to grow older and stronger before they could be returned to the wild. That happy day came in July, when they were released to fl y free once more.

Cover: In the loving arms of volunteers, adoptable kittens like Baylee enjoy daily snuggles on their journeys toward finding their perfect forever families.

All of the animals pictured in this annual report, and thousands of others, were saved because of the support of people like you. Thank you.
