HUMANE HOLLYWOODTHE "NO ANIMALS WERE HARMED" CERTIFICATION PROGRAM HAS SAFEGUARDED OVER HALF A MILLION ANIMALS ON THOUSANDS OF PRODUCTIONS WORLDWIDE IN THE LAST FIVE YEARS ALONE. SINCE 1940, OUR PROGRAM HAS BEEN AT THE FOREFRONT OF ANIMAL WELFARE IN FILMED ENTERTAINMENT. WE ARE THE ONLY INDUSTRY-SANCTIONED ORGANIZATION WITH OVERSIGHT OF ANIMALS IN FILMED PRODUCTION AND THE SOLE ENTITY TO AWARD THE INTERNATIONALLY RECOGNIZED NO ANIMALS WERE HARMED END-CREDIT CERTIFICATION TO PRODUCTIONS THAT MET OUR RIGOROUS STANDARD OF CARE. THE PURPOSE OF THE NO ANIMALS WERE HARMED CERTIFICATION PROGRAM IS TO ENSURE AND CERTIFY THE SAFETY OF ANIMAL ACTORS, WHICH ALSO RESULTS IN GREATER SAFETY FOR HUMAN ACTORS, IN THE PRODUCTION OF FILMED MEDIA. THE PROGRAM FUNDAMENTALLY:- PROTECTS ANIMALS USED IN FILM, TELEVISION AND COMMERCIAL PRODUCTION, NO MATTER WHERE FILMING OCCURS, DURING THE PRODUCTION AND ON SET.- SUPPORTS COMPLIANT PRODUCTIONS WITH RESPECT TO ANY IMPROPER ALLEGATIONS OF ANIMAL MISTREATMENT OR ABUSE, THROUGHOUT THE LIFE OF THE PROJECT WITHIN OUR SCOPE ON SET.- EDUCATES AND INFORMS FILM INDUSTRY PROFESSIONALS AND THE PUBLIC REGARDING THE HUMANE TREATMENT OF ANIMAL ACTORS IN THE GLOBAL MEDIA COMMUNITY.- ENFORCES AMERICAN HUMANE ASSOCIATION'S GUIDELINES FOR THE SAFE USE OF ANIMALS IN FILMED MEDIA (GUIDELINES) WITH SPECIALLY TRAINED CERTIFIED ANIMAL SAFETY REPRESENTATIVES.THE PROGRAM COVERAGE IS SIGNIFICANT FOR INTENSE ANIMAL ACTION SEEN IN FILMED MEDIA. THE NO ANIMALS WERE HARMED CERTIFIED ANIMAL SAFETY REPRESENTATIVES MONITORED 74.65% OF ALL INTENSE ANIMAL ACTION REPRESENTING 1,581 PRODUCTION DAYS FOR US AND INTERNATIONAL PRODUCTIONS. THE CERTIFIED ANIMAL SAFETY REPRESENTATIVES MONITORED 56% OF ANIMAL ACTION FOR A TOTAL OF 2,681 PRODUCTION DAYS. THE PROGRAM ISSUED 788 RATINGS AND AWARDED 699 "NO ANIMALS WERE HARMED" END-CREDIT CERTIFICATIONS.IN JANUARY 2014, WITH THE SUPPORT OF INDUSTRY LEADERS, THE NO ANIMALS WERE HARMED PROGRAM IMPLEMENTED A FEE-FOR-SERVICE BUSINESS MODEL, IN ORDER TO CLOSE THE GAP BETWEEN THE COST OF RUNNING OUR PROGRAM AND OUR GRANT AWARDS FROM INDUSTRY ADVANCEMENT AND COOPERATIVE FUND - SAG AND INDUSTRY COOPERATIVE FUND - AFTRA. THE PRODUCTION COMMUNITY HAS EMBRACED OUR NEW FEES DEMONSTRATING THE VALUE THEY PLACE ON OUR WORK AND MISSION TO PROTECT ANIMAL ACTORS. FOR FY 2015 THE PROGRAM HAD TOTAL SERVICE FEE REVENUE OF MORE THAN $1.3 MILLION. HUMANE HOLLYWOOD EDUCATED MILLIONS WITH THE AMERICAN HUMANE ASSOCIATION HERO DOG AWARDS, A PROGRAM INITIATIVE DESIGNED TO INSPIRE AND ENTERTAIN MILLIONS WHILE EDUCATING THEM ON THE POWER OF THE HUMAN-ANIMAL BOND AND THE ROLE OF WORKING DOGS IN SOCIETY. THE NATIONAL TELEVISION BROADCAST OF THE FOURTH ANNUAL AMERICAN HUMANE ASSOCIATION HERO DOG AWARDS FEATURING JAMES DENTON, BETH STERN, WILSON PHILLIPS AND MANY MORE WAS PRESENTED ON THE HALLMARK CHANNEL ON OCTOBER 30, 2014. IT WAS THE HIGHEST RATED SHOW IN OUR FOUR YEAR TENURE. THERAPY DOG SUSIE, A PIT BULL, TOOK HOME THE TOP HONOR FOR 2014'S AMERICAN HERO DOG. SUSIE WAS FOUND BEATEN AND ON THE VERGE OF DEATH IN A NORTH CAROLINA PARK. NURSED BACK TO HEALTH AND LATER ADOPTED BY DONNA LAWRENCE - HERSELF THE VICTIM OF A VICIOUS DOG ATTACK - THE PAIR HAVE GONE ON TO SUCCESSFULLY CHAMPION HARSHER LAWS FOR CONVICTED ANIMAL ABUSERS IN NORTH CAROLINA, KNOWN AS "SUSIE'S LAW". THIS REMARKABLE STORY IS THE SUBJECT OF THE INSPIRATIONAL FILM "SUSIE'S HOPE". TOGETHER, DONNA AND SUSIE VISIT SCHOOLS AND HOSPITALS TO BRING THE POWER OF ANIMAL-ASSISTED THERAPY AND TO BREAKDOWN STEREOTYPES ABOUT THE PIT BULL BREED. ADDITIONALLY, WE PRESENTED OUR FIRST-EVER AMERICAN HUMANE ASSOCIATION HERO VETERINARIAN AND HERO VETERINARY TECHNICIAN AWARDS, WITH DR.

HUMANE HEARTLANDTHE AMERICAN HUMANE CERTIFIED FARM ANIMAL WELFARE PROGRAM IS THE OLDEST, LARGEST, AND FASTEST-GROWING AUDITING, AND CERTIFICATION PROGRAM IN THE COUNTRY ADVOCATING FOR THE HUMANE TREATMENT OF FARM ANIMALS. THE PURPOSE OF THE PROGRAM IS TO IMPROVE AND VERIFY THE TREATMENT OF ANIMALS ON OUR NATION'S FARMS AND RANCHES UTILIZING EVIDENCE AND SCIENCE-BASED WELFARE STANDARDS, AND TO EDUCATE THE FOOD SUPPLY CHAIN AND CONSUMERS ABOUT THE SIGNIFICANCE AND BENEFITS OF THE HUMANE TREATMENT OF FARM ANIMALS.THIS PROGRAM CERTIFIES THE HUMANE TREATMENT OF ANIMALS IN NORTH AMERICAN FOOD PRODUCTION, AND ACHIEVED A SIGNIFICANT MILESTONE IN THIS FISCAL YEAR IN THE NATIONAL AGRICULTURE SECTOR. AMERICAN HUMANE ASSOCIATION'S FARM ANIMAL WELFARE PROGRAM EXPANDED FROM CERTIFYING THE HUMANE TREATMENT OF 400 MILLION FARM ANIMALS IN 2012 TO CERTIFYING OVER ONE BILLION FARM ANIMALS AT THE CLOSE OF THE FISCAL YEAR. IN FACT, THIS PROGRAM HAS GROWN 1,000% OVER THE PAST FOUR YEARS IN TERMS OF NUMBER OF ANIMALS IMPACTED THROUGH THE FARM ANIMAL WELFARE PROGRAM. THIS LANDMARK IS SIGNIFICANT BECAUSE AMERICAN HUMANE ASSOCIATION NOW CERTIFIES THE HUMANE TREATMENT OF NEARLY 10% OF THE ANIMALS IN NORTH AMERICAN FOOD PRODUCTION. THE HUMANE CERTIFICATION AND AUDIT STANDARDS ARE REGULARLY REVIEWED BY ITS SCIENCE ADVISORY COMMITTEE, AN INTERNATIONAL GROUP OF ANIMAL SCIENCE EXPERTS. THE THIRD PARTY AUDITS ARE CONDUCTED BY INDEPENDENT PAACO CERTIFIED AUDITORS. THE PROGRAM COVERS OVER 8,100 FARMS AND RANCHES THROUGHOUT THE UNITED STATES AND CANADA. THE AMERICAN HUMANE CERTIFIED SEAL IS NOW FOUND ON MANY PRODUCTS IN GROCERY STORES, INCLUDING DAIRY, CHICKEN, TURKEY, PORK, EGGS AND CHEESE PRODUCTS. AN OUTREACH INITIATIVE WITH CHEFS PROVIDES AN ONLINE "HUMANE TABLE" FEATURING RESTAURANTS AND RECIPES USING HUMANELY RAISED PRODUCTS.AMERICAN HUMANE ASSOCIATION DEVELOPED A THIRD GRADE SCHOOL CURRICULUM ON RAISING FARM ANIMALS HUMANELY AND HOW FOOD IS PRODUCED. THIS IS AVAILABLE IN OUR HUMANE EDUCATION INITIATIVES.

HUMANE RESEARCH AND THERAPYAMERICAN HUMANE ASSOCIATION'S FOUNDATION IS IN PROVIDING EVIDENCE-BASED SOLUTIONS FOR THE HUMANE MOVEMENT FOR THE BENEFIT OF CHILDREN AND ANIMALS, WHILE PROMOTING THE POWER OF THE HUMAN-ANIMAL BOND. ANCHORED BY TWO RESEARCH INSTITUTES - THE ANIMAL WELFARE RESEARCH INSTITUTE AND THE CHILDREN'S INNOVATION INSTITUTE - HUMANE RESEARCH AND THERAPY BRING PARTICIPATORY, PREVENTIVE SCIENCE TO OUR COMMUNITIES WITH ROBUST HUMANE SOLUTIONS IMPACTING OUR MOST VULNERABLE IN SOCIETY. AMERICAN HUMANE ASSOCIATION HAS BEEN DRIVEN BY SCIENCE-BASED RESEARCH AND OUTCOMES FOR OVER A CENTURY, AND CONTINUES THIS EFFORT IN MODERN TIMES THROUGH INNOVATIVE RESEARCH STUDIES.THE CANINES AND CHILDHOOD CANCER STUDY, LAUNCHED BY AMERICAN HUMANE ASSOCIATION IN PARTNERSHIP WITH ZOETIS, IS WORKING IN COLLABORATION WITH CHILDREN'S HOSPITALS ACROSS THE COUNTRY TO INVESTIGATE THE IMPACTS OF ANIMAL-ASSISTED THERAPY ON PEDIATRIC ONCOLOGY PATIENTS, THEIR PARENTS, AND THE THERAPY DOGS WHO VISIT THEM. THE CANINES AND CHILDHOOD CANCER STUDY IS A RANDOMIZED, CONTROLLED TRIAL THAT WILL EXAMINE SPECIFIC HEALTH EFFECTS THAT ANIMAL-ASSISTED THERAPY HAVE ON YOUNG CANCER PATIENTS AND THEIR FAMILIES. THE THERAPEUTIC BENEFITS OF ANIMAL-ASSISTED THERAPY FOR CANCER PATIENTS HAVE BEEN SHARED ANECDOTALLY BY DOCTORS, PATIENTS, CAREGIVERS AND ANIMAL HANDLERS FOR YEARS, AND THIS RESEARCH SEEKS TO PROVIDE EMPIRICAL EVIDENCE OF THE BENEFITS.IN APRIL, AN ARTICLE REGARDING THE CANINES AND CHILDHOOD CANCER (CCC) STUDY WAS PUBLISHED IN A PEER-REVIEWED JOURNAL - AUSTIN JOURNAL OF VETERINARY SCIENCE & ANIMAL HUSBANDRY. THE STUDY WAS ALSO FEATURED IN THE FOURTH EDITION (2015) OF THE HANDBOOK ON ANIMAL-ASSISTED THERAPY, WHICH IS WIDELY USED IN COLLEGE CLASSROOMS ACROSS THE COUNTRY AS "THE" TEXTBOOK ON HUMAN-ANIMAL INTERACTION.ON THE CONFERENCE FRONT, THE CCC RESEARCH TEAM PRESENTED AT THE AMERICAN SOCIETY OF PEDIATRIC HEMATOLOGY/ONCOLOGY ANNUAL MEETING IN MAY IN PHOENIX, ARIZ., WHICH BOASTS MORE THAN 1,000 PEDIATRIC HEMATOLOGY/ONCOLOGY PROFESSIONALS FROM AROUND THE WORLD, AND THE INTERNATIONAL SOCIETY FOR ANTHROZOOLOGY ANNUAL CONFERENCE IN JULY IN SARATOGA SPRINGS, NY, WITH MEMBERS REPRESENTING 30 COUNTRIES ACROSS THE WORLD. OUR RED STAR ANIMAL ASSISTED THERAPY TEAMS ARE ON THE GROUND YEAR-ROUND PROVIDING LIFE-HEALING COMFORT FOR CHILDREN WITH CANCER, COMMUNITIES STRUCK BY SEVERE WEATHER, AND MILITARY FAMILIES IMPACTED BY SERVICE. IN THE PAST YEAR, RED STAR ANIMAL ASSISTED THERAPY DEPLOYED 109 ANIMAL ASSISTED THERAPY TEAMS TO 23 SUMMER CAMPS AND MILITARY FAMILY RETREATS, IMPACTING 1,950 CHILDREN OF OUR NATION'S MILITARY IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE NATIONAL MILITARY FAMILIES ASSOCIATION'S OPERATION PURPLE.THE WAGS4PATRIOTS PROGRAM PROVIDES GRANTS TO MILITARY VETERANS IN ORDER TO HELP OFFSET THE COSTS OF TRAINING AND ADOPTING A POST-TRAUMATIC STRESS (PTS) SERVICE DOG. TO DATE, WE HAVE BEEN ABLE TO HELP EIGHT MILITARY VETERANS DIAGNOSED WITH PTS ADOPT A SERVICE DOG TO AID THEM IN COPING WITH MENTAL HEALTH SYMPTOMS CAUSED BY THEIR WAR EXPERIENCES. THESE DOGS HAVE ALLOWED THE VETERANS TO BECOME MORE INDEPENDENT, FEEL SAFE AND ACCEPTED, AND RECONNECT WITH THE PEOPLE AND THINGS THEY LOVE. IN ADDITION, AMERICAN HUMANE ASSOCIATION CONTINUED ITS SECOND YEAR OF PARTNERSHIP WITH THE WEATHER CHANNEL TO PROVIDE THE SERVICES OF "BUTLER" THE WEATHER CHANNEL THERAPY DOG WHO, WITH HIS AHA HANDLER, VISITS COMMUNITIES NATIONWIDE THAT HAVE BEEN IMPACTED BY SEVERE WEATHER. IN FEBRUARY, BUTLER VISITED BOSTON RESIDENTS IMPACTED BY RECORD SNOWFALL AND IN MARCH, HE TRAVELED TO ATLANTA TO VISIT A 16-YEAR-OLD BOY WHO WAS PARALYZED IN A SLEDDING ACCIDENT AND ASSISTED WITH HIS PHYSICAL THERAPY EXERCISES. IN APRIL, BUTLER TRAVELED TO MOORE, OK TO PARTICIPATE IN A COMMUNITY EVENT TO PROVIDE EDUCATION AND RESOURCES FOR PEOPLE EXPERIENCING WEATHER-RELATED ANXIETY AS STORM SEASON HEATED UP. THE FIRST WEEK OF MAY EVERY YEAR HAS BEEN SYNONYMOUS WITH KINDNESS FOR GENERATIONS OF CHILDREN AND ADULTS SINCE 1915. TO HELP CHILDREN, PARENTS AND TEACHERS MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN THEIR COMMUNITIES, WE LAUNCHED THE YEAR-LONG "KINDNESS 100" HUMANE EDUCATION CAMPAIGN TO MARK THE 100TH ANNIVERSARY OF OUR "BE KIND TO ANIMALS WEEK", THE OLDEST COMMEMORATIVE WEEK IN AMERICAN HISTORY. THE NATIONAL EDUCATIONAL CURRICULUM RELEASED IN THE SPRING REACHED 15 MILLION CHILDREN FROM PRE-K TO FIFTH GRADES, ENCOURAGING COMPASSION, RESPECT AND KINDNESS.DOGS HAVE BEEN ESSENTIAL TO THE U.S. MILITARY SINCE THE CIVIL WAR, AND THEY HAVE BEEN USED HEAVILY IN THE GLOBAL WAR ON TERROR. THEIR POWERFUL NOSES ARE CAPABLE OF DETECTING DEADLY HIDDEN WEAPONS CACHES AND IEDS, AND IT IS ESTIMATED THAT EACH DOG SERVING IN THE MILITARY SAVES AN ESTIMATED 150-200 LIVES ON THE BATTLEFIELD. UNFORTUNATELY, WHEN THEIR TOURS OF DUTY ARE OVER, THEY ARE NOT ALWAYS AFFORDED A RIDE HOME LIKE THEIR HUMAN COUNTERPARTS. THIS YEAR, AMERICAN HUMANE ASSOCIATION FUNDED THE TRANSFER HOME OF 21 MILITARY WORKING DOGS AND CONTRACT WORKING DOGS AND REUNITED THEM WITH THEIR FORMER MILITARY HANDLERS. PRIVATE ENTITIES LIKE AMERICAN HUMANE ASSOCIATION SHOULD NOT BE FOOTING THE BILL TO BRING HOME THESE FOUR-FOOTED MILITARY HEROES, AND THIS YEAR AMERICAN HUMANE ASSOCIATION SPONSORED LANGUAGE IN THE FY 2016 NATIONAL DEFENSE AUTHORIZATION ACT TO BRING HOME ALL MILITARY WORKING DOGS AND GIVE THEIR FORMER HUMAN HANDLERS THE FIRST RIGHT AT ADOPTION. THE BILL WAS PASSED WITH BIPARTISAN SUPPORT IN BOTH THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES AND SENATE IN THE SPRING AND THE FULL BILL WILL SOON BE FINALIZED AND SENT TO PRESIDENT OBAMA FOR HIS SIGNATURE. AS A THOUGHT LEADER IN THE HUMANE SPACE FOR 138 YEARS, AMERICAN HUMANE ASSOCIATION HAS ALWAYS SOUGHT TO SHARE ITS RESEARCH, PROGRAM OUTCOMES, AND SCIENCE-BASED SOLUTIONS WITH THE WORLD COMMUNITY FOR THE BROAD BENEFIT OF CHILDREN AND ANIMALS. TO CONTINUE AND EXPAND THIS OUTREACH, IN 2015 WE FURTHER RAISED OUR COMMITMENT TO SERVE AS A SOURCE OF INFORMATION AND PERSPECTIVE TO AMERICA AND ITS LEADERS, SUPPORTING THE FOUNDING OF THE CONGRESSIONAL CAUCUS FOR THE HUMANE BOND, FOUNDED AND CO-CHAIRED BY REP. GUS BILIRAKIS (R-FL) AND REP. HENRY CUELLAR (D-TX). THIS NEW CAUCUS WAS CREATED TO PROMOTE AND STRENGTHEN THE HUMANE BOND BETWEEN PEOPLE AND ANIMALS IN WORKING ENVIRONMENTS, OUR HOMES, HOSPITALS, EDUCATIONAL SETTINGS, THE WILD, AND AGRICULTURE, AND UNLEASH THE POWER OF OUR CONNECTION TO BENEFIT BOTH AND CREATE HEALTHY, SUSTAINABLE AND HUMANE COMMUNITIES. AMERICAN HUMANE ASSOCIATION HELD THREE CONGRESSIONAL BRIEFINGS ON CAPITOL HILL THIS YEAR. IN JULY WE HIGHLIGHTED THE IMPORTANCE OF DOGS TO THE MILITARY AND THE NEED TO BRING THEM ALL HOME. JUST BEFORE THE THANKSGIVING HOLIDAY, WE CAME TOGETHER TO SALUTE THE FARMERS, FOOD COMPANIES, CHEFS, AND GROUPS WORKING TO RAISE FARM ANIMALS HUMANELY AND PROVIDE A HUMANE TABLE TO AMERICA'S FAMILIES. FINALLY, IN JUNE WE HELD THE OFFICIAL LAUNCH EVENT FOR THE CONGRESSIONAL CAUCUS FOR THE HUMANE BOND, WHERE MEMBERS OF CONGRESS WERE INVITED TO COME MEET HUMAN AND ANIMAL CELEBRITIES, MILITARY WORKING DOG TEAMS, PAST HERO DOG AWARDS WINNERS, AND ANIMAL WELFARE EXPERTS AND LEARN ABOUT THE GOALS OF THE NEWEST CAUCUS ON THE HILL.

HUMANE INTERVENTIONOUR FAMED RED STAR RESCUE TEAMS RESCUE AND SHELTER ANIMALS IN CRISIS AND PROVIDE LIFESAVING TIPS AND DISASTER PREPARATION TRAINING TO PROTECT CHILDREN, FAMILIES AND COMMUNITIES BEFORE, DURING AND AFTER DISASTERS. THE PURPOSE OF HUMANE INTERVENTION PROGRAMS ARE TO PROVIDE INTERVENTION FOR COMMUNITIES IN CRISIS AND TO HELP BUILD MORE HUMANE COMMUNITIES NATIONWIDE THROUGH INITIATIVES LIKE GRANTS, SHELTER SUPPORT AND HUMANE EDUCATION. IN JUST THE PAST TEN YEARS, RED STAR RESCUE TEAMS WITH THEIR NEARLY 200 HIGHLY TRAINED VOLUNTEER FIRST-RESPONDERS NATIONWIDE HAVE RESCUED, CARED FOR AND/OR ASSISTED MORE THAN 80,000 ANIMALS. AMONG OUR RED STAR RESPONSES IN FY2015, OUR LEGENDARY TEAM RUSHED TO THE AID OF MORE THAN 100 ANIMALS FOUND IN TERRIBLE CONDITION AT A NEW JERSEY SHELTER. AMERICAN HUMANE ASSOCIATION'S RED STAR TEAM WORKED TO SAVE AND REHABILITATE THE ANIMALS, AND START THEM ON THE ROAD TO THEIR NEW LIVES AS MEMBERS OF LOVING FAMILIES.EMERGENCY FIELD RESPONSES DURING FY2015 INCLUDED RESCUING AND RELOCATING 66 ANIMALS IN DIRE NEED AT A RESERVATION IN SOUTH DAKOTA. WITHOUT OUR HELP, THESE ANIMALS WOULD HAVE DIED OR BEEN EUTHANIZED. THE TEAM SAVED 18 HORSES AND A MULE IN A MAJOR CRUELTY CASE. RED STAR STAFF AND VOLUNTEERS RAN A 24/7 CRITICAL CARE OPERATION FOLLOWING THE RESCUE UNTIL THE HORSES WERE STABLE ENOUGH TO BE TRANSPORTED TO A RESCUE FACILITY. RED STAR TEAM MEMBERS PROVIDED EMERGENCY CARE AND COMPASSION TO 70 FRIGHTENED DOGS RESCUED IN A DRAMATIC MULTI-STATE DOGFIGHTING RAID. IN ADDITION TO EMERGENCY RESPONSE, THE TEAM PROVIDED LIFESAVING EDUCATION AND OUTREACH WITH A DISASTER PREPAREDNESS TOUR OF THE NORTHEAST. SPONSORED BY BANFIELD PET HOSPITAL, EMERGENCY INSTRUCTIONS, VITAL TIPS, AND DISASTER KITS WERE DISTRIBUTED AT SPECIAL EVENTS IN STATES ACROSS THE REGION INCLUDING NEW JERSEY, PENNSYLVANIA AND NORTHERN VIRGINIA. THE EFFORT REACHED MILLIONS MORE PEOPLE THROUGH MEDIA FOLLOWING THE TOUR AND A LIVE BROADCAST ON FOX NEWS CHANNEL.THE RED STAR TEAM MAINTAINS A FLEET OF DISASTER RESPONSE VEHICLES AND BOATS, TO INCLUDE AN 82-FOOT TRACTOR TRAILER AND RIG THAT SERVES AS A MOBILE COMMAND UNIT AND VETERINARY MEDICAL AND TRIAGE UNIT. IN THE PAST YEAR, AMERICAN HUMANE ASSOCIATION'S SECOND CHANCE FUND PROVIDED MEDICAL AND EMERGENCY FUND GRANTS TO LOCAL SHELTERS AND RESCUE GROUPS. THE MEACHAM FUND PROVIDED SUPPORT TO VARIOUS ORGANIZATIONS TO PROVIDE RESOURCES TO HELP ANIMALS IN NEED.
