Return Reference Explanation
Part II B, lines 1(A)- 1(I) GENERAL - THE ASPCA'S MISSION TO PREVENT CRUELTY TO ANIMALS IS PRIMARILY ADVANCED THROUGH A SERIES OF SIGNIFICANT DIRECT CARE PROGRAMS. OUR NATIONAL RELOCATION PROGRAM TO SAVE LIVES OF AT-RISK HOMELESS ANIMALS, PARTNERSHIPS WITH COMMUNITIES TO INCENTIVIZE MORE LIVE RELEASE AND RESCUE FOR HOMELESS ANIMALS, PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT FOR SHELTERS AND RESCUE ORGANIZATIONS, A BEHAVIORAL RESEARCH CENTER TO REHABILITATE UNDERSOCIALIZED, FEARFUL DOGS FROM PUPPY MILLS, HOARDING AND OTHER CRUELTY CASES, A COLLABORATION WITH THE NEW YORK CITY POLICE DEPARTMENT, OUR CRUELTY INTERVENTION ADVOCACY PROGRAM TO ADDRESS THE ROOT CAUSES OF SUFFERING IN HOARDING CASES, AND OUR ASPCA ANIMAL HOSPITAL, SPAY/NEUTER OPERATIONS AND ADOPTION CENTER IN NEW YORK CITY ARE ALL LABORATORIES FOR UNDERSTANDING THE MYRIAD PROBLEMS ANIMALS FACE AND INFORM OUR WORK TO ADVANCE POLICIES THAT WILL PREVENT CRUELTY IN THE FUTURE. THE LESSONS WE TAKE FROM THESE PROGRAMS ENABLE US TO BRING EXPERT VOICES AND INFORMED OPINIONS TO OUR WORK FOR LAWS TO DETER CRUEL TREATMENT OF ANIMALS. 1A. VOLUNTEERS: WE WORK WITH VOLUNTEERS HOLDING CITIZEN TRAINING WORKSHOPS IN LOCAL COMMUNITIES, PROVIDING OPPORTUNITIES FOR THEM TO JOIN OUR STAFF AT THE STATE AND FEDERAL CAPITOLS TO PROMOTE OR OPPOSE LEGISLATION THROUGH MEETINGS WITH LEGISLATORS AND THEIR AIDES. WE EMPLOY TRAINING TOOLS SUCH AS WEBINARS AND CONFERENCES. 1B. PAID STAFF OR MANAGEMENT: ASPCA MANAGEMENT AND STAFF STRATEGIZE AND COORDINATE OUR PUBLIC POLICY EFFORTS AIMED AT ENHANCING OUR ABILITY TO PERFORM DIRECT CARE WORK AND TO HELP PREVENT CRUELTY. WE CULTIVATE AND EXPAND CONTACTS WITHIN GOVERNMENT BODIES, INCLUDING LEGISLATURES AND REGULATORY AGENCIES, AND WORK WITH OTHER NATIONAL AND LOCAL ORGANIZATIONS TO PROMOTE HUMANE POLICIES. 1C. MEDIA ADVERTISEMENTS: PERIODICALLY, WE BUY ADVERTISEMENT SPACE IN PUBLIC-POLICY-FOCUSED NEWSPAPERS (E.G., ROLL CALL, THE HILL) THAT MEMBERS OF CONGRESS AND THEIR STAFFS REGULARLY READ. THE ADVERTISEMENTS ARE STRATEGICALLY SCHEDULED (OFTEN AHEAD OF A CRUCIAL COMMITTEE VOTE OR FLOOR VOTE) TO MAXIMIZE EXPOSURE AND TIMELINESS TO OUR ISSUES. WE ALSO BUY STRATEGICALLY TARGETED ADVERTISING SPACE ON SOCIAL MEDIA (E.G., FACEBOOK) FOR THE SAME PURPOSE. 1D. MAILINGS TO MEMBERS, LEGISLATORS, OR THE PUBLIC: WE COMMUNICATE WITH OUR MEMBERS, UNPAID VOLUNTEERS, LEGISLATORS AND THE PUBLIC THROUGH MAILINGS, EMAIL, AND ELECTRONIC ALERTS TO UPDATE AND INFORM AS WELL AS TO ENCOURAGE THEIR PARTICIPATION IN POSITIVE OUTCOMES FOR ANIMALS. WE EMPLOY TRADITIONAL AND SOCIAL MEDIA TOOLS TO INFORM THE PUBLIC OF LEGISLATION, REGULATIONS, AND OTHER POLICIES THAT PROMOTE ANIMAL WELFARE OR THAT ARE HOSTILE TO IT AND TO PROVIDE THEM WITH SUPPORT AND TOOLS FOR POLICY CHANGE. 1E. PUBLICATIONS, OR PUBLISHED OR BROADCAST STATEMENTS: EACH TIME A NEW ISSUE OF THE ASPCA ACTION MAGAZINE IS PUBLISHED (USUALLY FOUR TIMES PER YEAR), WE ARRANGE TO HAVE A COPY DELIVERED TO EVERY CONGRESSIONAL OFFICE (551 TOTAL). WE ALSO PROVIDE A COPY OF THE ASPCA CALENDAR TO EVERY OFFICE YEARLY. 1F. GRANTS TO OTHER ORGANIZATIONS FOR LOBBYING PURPOSES: THE ASPCA PROVIDES GRANTS TO ORGANIZATIONS TO PROMOTE ANIMAL WELFARE INCLUDING THOSE WORKING TO FURTHER ANIMAL PROTECTION EFFORTS IN LOCAL AND STATE LEGISLATURES AND CONGRESS AS WELL AS IN REGULATIONS AT ALL LEVELS. 1G. DIRECT CONTACT WITH LEGISLATORS, THEIR STAFF, GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS, OR A LEGISLATIVE BODY: THE ASPCA PROMOTES ANTI-CRUELTY LEGISLATION THROUGH DIRECT CONTACTS WITH FEDERAL AND STATE LEGISLATORS, THEIR STAFF, GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS AT ALL LEVELS, AND LOCAL LEGISLATURES. OUR STAFF, UNPAID VOLUNTEERS, AND CONSULTANTS WORK TO INFLUENCE LEGISLATION TO HELP ANIMALS THROUGH SUCH CONTACTS. 1H. RALLIES, DEMONSTRATIONS, SEMINARS, CONVENTIONS, SPEECHES, LECTURES, OR ANY OTHER MEANS: THE ASPCA HOLDS VOICES FOR ANIMALS DAYS, LOBBY DAYS, LEADERSHIP TRAINING SUMMITS, CITIZEN LOBBYING WORKSHOPS, INCLUDING SPEECHES AND SEMINARS, AND GIVES PRESENTATIONS AND SPEECHES TO ENCOURAGE PUBLIC AWARENESS OF HUMANE LEGISLATION AND TO PROMOTE ACTION INFLUENCING POSITIVE OUTCOMES FOR ANIMAL WELFARE POLICY. 1I. OTHER ACTIVITIES: THE ASPCA WORKS CLOSELY WITH OTHER NATIONAL, STATE, AND LOCAL SHELTERS AND ANIMAL WELFARE ORGANIZATIONS AS WELL AS OTHER INDUSTRY OR NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATIONS WITH COMMON INTERESTS TO ALIGN PUBLIC POLICIES WITH BEST PRACTICES FOR ANIMAL WELFARE AND TO ENSURE THAT LAW ENFORCEMENT, FIELD WORK, DISASTER RELIEF, ANTI-CRUELTY EFFORTS, AND SHELTERING OPERATIONS ARE ABLE TO BEST PROTECT ANIMALS. THE ASPCA EMPLOYS PROFESSIONAL CONSULTANTS TO SUPPORT AND INFORM OUR LOBBYING EFFORTS AND WE CONDUCT COALITION WORK, INTERNAL COORDINATION AND GRASSROOTS NETWORKING AND CULTIVATION FOR HUMANE PUBLIC POLICY ADVANCEMENT.

THEY CONTINUE TO OFFER THEIR SPAY/NEUTER STRATEGIES INCLUDING DOOR-TO-DOOR ADVOCACY, FULLY SUBSIDIZED SERVICES AND MOBILE CLINICS IN KEY AREAS, BUT IN ADDITION TO STERILIZATION, THE COMMUNITY MEDICINE TEAM NOW OFFERS SERVICES LIKE VACCINATIONS, PREVENTATIVE MEDICATIONS, TREATMENTS FOR SKIN DISEASE, EAR DISEASE AND GASTROINTESTINAL ISSUES, AND REFERRALS TO PARTNERS FOR MORE SPECIALIZED CARE --AN EFFORT TO PREVENT RELINQUISHMENT AND FOCUS ON PET RETENTION. THE PROGRAM IS AVAILABLE IN EAST NEW YORK (BROOKLYN), AND ROLLOUT IN LOS ANGELES IS ANTICIPATED FOR 2016. IN AUGUST 2015, THE ASPCA ACQUIRED ASHEVILLE, NORTH CAROLINA-BASED HUMANE ALLIANCE (HA), THE NATION'S LEADING TRAINING AND EDUCATION ORGANIZATION FOCUSED ON HIGH-QUALITY, HIGH-VOLUME SPAY/NEUTER. THE ACQUISITION WAS THE CULMINATION OF $6 MILLION IN ASPCA SUPPORT FOR HA PROGRAMS OVER THE PAST DECADE. SINCE ITS FOUNDING IN 1994, HA HAS PERFORMED 386,025 SPAY/NEUTER SURGERIES -- 23,970 IN 2015. HA'S CLINIC TRAINING PROGRAM HAS INTRODUCED SPAY/NEUTER CAPABILITIES TO 141 CLINICS IN THE U.S. AND CANADA. AS A PROGRAM OF THE ASPCA, HA WILL CONTINUE ITS IMPORTANT WORK WITH AN EXPANDED CAPACITY FOR VET STUDENTS, VETERINARIANS AND A NUMBER OF SPAY/NEUTER CLINICS AND PRACTITIONERS NATIONWIDE TO REACH MORE AT-RISK ANIMALS AND REDUCE THE NUMBER OF HOMELESS PETS ENTERING SHELTERS.
Form 990 Part III Line 4b PUBLIC EDUCATION AND COMMUNICATIONS (EXPENSES: $40,630,292) EDUCATING THE PUBLIC AND BRINGING AWARENESS TO ITS PROGRAMS AND HOW PEOPLE AND ORGANIZATIONS CAN GET INVOLVED IS CRITICALLY IMPORTANT TO THE ASPCA'S MISSION. THE ASPCA HAD OVER 44.1 MILLION VISITS TO ITS WEBSITE IN 2015, BRINGING AWARENESS TO SUPPORTERS AND THE PUBLIC AT LARGE BY PROVIDING INFORMATION ON ACTION THEY CAN TAKE ON BEHALF OF ANIMALS. AS PART OF THE ASPCA'S EDUCATION PROCESS, SOCIAL MEDIA POSTINGS UPDATED THE PUBLIC OF REGULATORY WINS AND PROVIDED DETAILS OF THE ASPCA'S ANTI-CRUELTY EFFORTS. THE ORGANIZATION'S PROMOTIONS GENERATED MILLIONS OF SOCIAL MEDIA IMPRESSIONS. THE PUBLIC WAS UPDATED ON ACTION THAT CAN BE TAKEN TO ENSURE THAT ANIMALS ARE GIVEN THE GREATEST POSSIBLE PROTECTION UNDER THE LAW AND MADE AWARE OF HOW EACH PERSON CAN HELP THIS EFFORT. MORE THAN 200 ADVOCACY E-MAILS WERE SENT IN 2015 TO ASPCA SUPPORTERS URGING THEM TO TAKE ACTION ON A WIDE RANGE OF ANIMAL WELFARE ISSUES. WITH THE HELP OF ADVOCATES, THE ASPCA SECURED NEW ANIMAL PROTECTION LAWS AND REGULATORY WINS FOR ANIMALS AT THE NATION'S CAPITAL AND IN STATE LEGISLATURES FROM CALIFORNIA TO NEW YORK. THE ASPCA DISTRIBUTED MORE THAN 1,650,000 COPIES OF ITS MEMBER MAGAZINE, ASPCA ACTION, AND 15,000 COPIES OF ITS ANNUAL REPORT IN 2015. ASPCA ACTION INCLUDES INFORMATION ON ASPCA EVENTS AND PROGRAMS AS WELL AS PET CARE BEHAVIOR AND ADVICE. LEGISLATIVE AND ANIMAL ADVOCACY NEWS KEEPS MEMBERS UP-TO-DATE ON CURRENT AND FUTURE INITIATIVES AND HOW THEY CAN HELP ENSURE THAT ANIMALS RECEIVE NECESSARY PROTECTION UNDER THE LAW. THIS MAGAZINE CAN ALSO BE OBTAINED ON THE ASPCA WEBSITE, WHICH HAS MANY ADDITIONAL EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES FOR THE PUBLIC. IN 2015, THE ASPCA WAS ONE OF THE NATION'S LEADING VOICES IN THE MEDIA ON ANIMAL CRUELTY AND WELFARE ISSUES. HIGH-PROFILE MEDIA OUTLETS FEATURING THE WORK OF THE ASPCA FIRMLY POSITIONED THEIR EXPERTS ON CRITICALLY IMPORTANT TOPICS INCLUDING BLOOD SPORTS, THEIR GROUNDBREAKING PARTNERSHIP WITH THE NEW YORK POLICE DEPARTMENT (NYPD), ANIMAL HOMELESSNESS AND SHELTERING, SPAY/NEUTER, BETTER LEGAL PROTECTIONS FOR COMPANION AND FARM ANIMALS AS WELL AS SAFETY NET PROGRAMS THAT KEEP PETS OUT OF SHELTERS AND IN HOMES. IN TOTAL, THE ASPCA GENERATED MORE THAN 22,000 FAVORABLE MEDIA PLACEMENTS ACROSS TRADITIONAL MEDIA OUTLETS AND BLOGS IN 2015. IN ITS FIRST FULL SEASON OF OPERATION, THE ASPCA'S NEONATE KITTEN NURSERY GENERATED PROMINENT VISIBILITY FROM A NUMBER OF HIGH-PROFILE NATIONAL AND NYC MEDIA OUTLETS, SHEDDING LIGHT ON A VERY VULNERABLE POPULATION OF ANIMALS DURING THE KITTEN SEASON. THE ASPCA'S SECOND-ANNUAL NATIONAL DOG FIGHTING AWARENESS DAY - WITH THE ADDITION OF THE #GETTOUGH CAMPAIGN - BROUGHT INCREASED MEDIA VISIBILITY AND AWARENESS AROUND THE IMPORTANT ISSUE OF DOGFIGHTING. THE ASPCA ALSO RELEASED RESULTS FROM A NATIONAL POLL DETAILING THE STRUGGLES LAW ENFORCEMENT FACE IN ADDRESSING DOGFIGHTING, RESULTING IN DOUBLE THE MEDIA EXPOSURE GENERATED FOR THIS CAMPAIGN COMPARED TO ITS INAUGURAL YEAR. IN CONJUNCTION WITH ITS RESPONSE TO MULTIPLE INVESTIGATIONS AND LARGESCALE DOGFIGHTING RESCUES IN 2015, THE ASPCA'S EXPERTISE ON DOGFIGHTING WAS FIRMLY POSITIONED IN NATIONAL AND LOCAL MEDIA THROUGHOUT THE YEAR. THE ASPCA ALSO CONTINUED TO BRING ATTENTION TO THE PLIGHT OF ANIMALS RAISED FOR FOOD IN THE U.S. A COALITION INCLUDING THE ASPCA, THE HSUS, MASSACHUSETTS SPCA AND THE ANIMAL RESCUE LEAGUE OF BOSTON ANNOUNCED A 2016 BALLOT INITIATIVE TO IMPROVE CONDITIONS FOR PIGS, VEAL CALVES AND EGG-LAYING HENS. THE NEWS OF THIS IMPORTANT LEGISLATIVE INITIATIVE WAS REPORTED WIDELY BY BOTH NATIONAL AND LOCAL MASSACHUSETTS MEDIA OUTLETS. IN LOCAL NEWS OUTLETS ACROSS THE NATION, THE ASPCA'S SECOND-ANNUAL HELP A HORSE DAY EVENT INCLUDED MORE RESCUE GROUPS THAN IT DID IN 2014, AND RESULTED IN INCREASED MEDIA VISIBILITY FOR THE ASPCA AND PARTICIPATING GROUPS. IN AUGUST, THE ASPCA'S ACQUISITION OF NORTH CAROLINA-BASED HUMANE ALLIANCE GENERATED WIDESPREAD LOCAL COVERAGE IN THE COMMUNITY'S PRIMARY NEWS OUTLETS.
Form 990 Part III Line 4c COMMUNITY OUTREACH (EXPENSES: $24,085,398) THE ASPCA ADOPTION CENTER BROKE RECORDS WHEN THEY FOUND HOMES FOR 4,601 ADOPTABLE PETS IN 2015 -- A 21% INCREASE OVER 2014. THE ASPCA ALSO TRANSFERRED 67 ANIMALS TO PARTNER ORGANIZATIONS TO FIND HOMES AND REUNITED 74 ANIMALS WITH THEIR OWNERS. IN SEPTEMBER, THE ASPCA LAUNCHED ITS ADOPTION AMBASSADORS CAMPAIGN. A TOTAL OF 750 AGENCIES NATIONWIDE SIGNED UP TO IMPLEMENT THE PROGRAM IN THEIR SHELTERS. TO ASSIST THEM, THE ASPCA PROVIDED ONLINE RESOURCES, ACCESS TO MENTOR SHELTERS AND FUNDING TOTALING NEARLY $250,000 TO 96 AGENCIES IN 39 STATES. AS PART OF OUR COMMITMENT TO REDUCE THE NUMBER OF AT-RISK ANIMALS IN NEW YORK CITY, THE ASPCA TRANSFERRED 2,435 FELINES FROM ANIMAL CARE CENTERS OF NYC -- HELPING 63% MORE CATS THAN IN 2014. MANY OF THEM BECAME RESIDENTS OF THE ASPCA KITTEN NURSERY, WHICH OPERATED ITS FIRST FULL SEASON IN 2015 AND TOOK IN MORE THAN 1,500 AT-RISK KITTENS. BY YEAR-END, 1,300 OF THESE KITTENS WERE PLACED INTO HOMES. THE ASPCA COMPLETED RENOVATIONS AT THE FACILITY THE ASPCA KITTEN NURSERY SHARES WITH OUR GLORIA GURNEY CANINE ANNEX FOR RECOVERY AND ENRICHMENT (CARE) WARD, ENABLING THE CARE PROGRAM TO REHABILITATE MORE THAN 100 DOGS RESCUED THROUGH OUR PARTNERSHIP WITH THE NYPD. COMMUNITY OUTREACH EFFORTS ALSO INCLUDE ASPCA COMMUNITY PARTNERS IN CITIES OR REGIONS WHOSE MAJOR ANIMAL SHELTERING AGENCIES HAVE APPLIED AND BEEN ACCEPTED TO WORK INTENSIVELY WITH ASPCA EXPERTS TO SAVE AT-RISK ANIMALS IN THEIR AREAS. IN 2015, THE ASPCA'S FOUR ACTIVE PARTNERS WERE CHARLOTTE, NORTH CAROLINA; MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, FLORIDA; LOUISVILLE, KENTUCKY; AND ALBUQUERQUE, NEW MEXICO. THROUGH THE SUCCESS OF VARIOUS PROGRAMS LIKE OFFSITE AND JOINT ADOPTION EVENTS, WAIVED ADOPTION FEES AND PET RETENTION PROGRAMS, THE COMMUNITIES COLLECTIVELY SAVED 63,333 ANIMALS IN 2015. THE ASPCA'S BI-COASTAL RELOCATION PROGRAMS TRANSPORTED A TOTAL OF 7,773 ANIMALS FROM OVERCROWDED SHELTERS TO PARTNER ORGANIZATIONS WHERE THEY HAD A BETTER CHANCE OF FINDING HOMES. THE TEAM ORGANIZED 115 RELOCATION FLIGHTS AND CONDUCTED 226 GROUND TRANSPORTS -- COVERING A TOTAL OF 207,000 MILES. THE WEST COAST TEAM EXCEEDED ITS 2015 GOAL AND TRANSPORTED 4,293 ANIMALS, ALMOST 72% MORE THAN PLANNED. ON THE EAST COAST, THE ASPCA LAUNCHED THE NANCY SILVERMAN RESCUE RIDE (NSRR) PROGRAM IN JANUARY TO TRANSPORT DOGS FROM THE SOUTHEAST TO THE NORTHEAST OVER A THREE-YEAR PERIOD. THIS NEW PROGRAM RESULTED IN 3,480 OF OUR TOTAL ANIMAL RELOCATIONS IN 2015.
Form 990 Part III Line 4d OTHER PROGRAMS ANTI-CRUELTY PROGRAMS (EXPENSES: $33,749,932 INCLUDING GRANTS OF $13,476,946) FOR 150 YEARS, THE ASPCA HAS DEVELOPED INNOVATIVE PROGRAMS TO HELP END ANIMAL CRUELTY AND SAVE THE LIVES OF ANIMALS ACROSS AMERICA. IN 2015, THE ASPCA REACHED NEW MILESTONES AND EXPANDED PROGRAMS TO HELP MORE ANIMALS NATIONWIDE. SINCE THE INCEPTION OF THE NYPD-ASPCA PARTNERSHIP IN 2014, MORE THAN 5,400 MEMBERS OF THE NEW YORK CITY POLICE DEPARTMENT (NYPD) HAVE BEEN TRAINED BY THE ASPCA IN HOW TO RESPOND TO ANIMAL CRUELTY COMPLAINTS, ENSURING EFFECTIVE ENFORCEMENT AND PROTECTION OF NEW YORK CITY'S ANIMALS. ASPCA-TRAINED NYPD OFFICERS ARE MAKING MORE REFERRALS TO THE ASPCA THAN EVER BEFORE. IN 2015, STATISTICS SHOW ACROSS-THE-BOARD INCREASES AS COMPARED TO 2014: 10,864 CALLS TO 311, UP 1,933 CALLS; 158 ARRESTS, UP 24 ARRESTS; 63 SUMMONSES, UP THREE SUMMONS; 13 SEARCH WARRANTS, UP BY FOUR; 676 ANIMALS RESCUED, AN INCREASE OF 254 MORE ANIMALS. WHEN AN OFFICER RESPONDS TO A REPORT OF SUSPECTED ANIMAL CRUELTY AND DETERMINES THAT NO CRIME HAS BEEN COMMITTED BUT THE ANIMALS AND PEOPLE INVOLVED NEED ASSISTANCE, HE OR SHE CONTACTS THE ASPCA'S CRUELTY INTERVENTION ADVOCACY (CIA) PROGRAM. THESE REFERRALS HAVE INCREASED FROM 16 IN 2014 TO MORE THAN 70 IN 2015, AND HAVE ASSISTED APPROXIMATELY 175 ADDITIONAL AT-RISK ANIMALS. THE ASPCA FIELD INVESTIGATIONS & RESPONSE (FIR) TEAM RESPONDS TO URGENT SITUATIONS ACROSS THE COUNTRY INVOLVING ABUSED, NEGLECTED AND DISPLACED ANIMALS. IN 2015, FIR LED 17 DEPLOYMENTS, 45 INVESTIGATIONS, FILED 444 CRIMINAL CHARGES, AND RESCUED AND/OR ASSISTED 12,283 ANIMALS, RESPONDING TO SITUATIONS INVOLVING ANIMALS THAT WERE NEGLECTED AND/OR ABUSED. DEPLOYING FROM COAST TO COAST, FIR RESPONDERS TRAVEL YEAR-ROUND, WORKING WITH LAW ENFORCEMENT TO RESCUE ANIMALS AND DECREASE THE NUMBER OF AT-RISK ANIMALS IN COMMUNITIES NATIONWIDE. IN 2015, FIR RESPONDERS ASSISTED IN THE AFTERMATH OF HISTORIC FLOODS IN SOUTH CAROLINA, STEPPED IN TO RESCUE DOGS FROM A NORTH CAROLINA DOG FIGHTING OPERATION, AND ASSISTED DURING A DEVASTATING CALIFORNIA WILDFIRE. IN MOULTON, ALABAMA, THE FIR TEAM RESCUED APPROXIMATELY 300 ANIMALS FROM DEPLORABLE CONDITIONS AT THE SITE OF AN OVERCROWDED ANIMAL SHELTER. THE ASPCA PROVIDED MEDICAL CARE, FOOD, SHELTER AND ENRICHMENT FOR THESE ANIMALS. NEARLY ONE MONTH AFTER THEIR RESCUE, THE ASPCA HELD A LARGE-SCALE ADOPTION EVENT ATTENDED BY MORE THAN 900 POTENTIAL ADOPTERS. THE FORENSIC SCIENCES AND ANTI-CRUELTY PROJECTS TEAM HELPS PROVIDE ANIMALS WITH GREATER PROTECTION UNDER THE LAW. IN ADDITION, ASPCA STAFF ROUTINELY PROVIDES TRAINING AT VETERINARY COLLEGES AND CONFERENCES, AS WELL AS TRAINING FOR LAW ENFORCEMENT PROFESSIONALS, ON THE ROLE OF VETERINARY FORENSICS IN HANDLING, REPORTING AND DOCUMENTING ANIMAL ABUSE. IN 2015, A TOTAL OF 600 ANIMALS RECEIVED FORENSIC EXAMS BY THE ASPCA. TO SUPPORT PROSECUTORS IN DOG FIGHTING CASES, OUR FORENSIC VETERINARIANS PREPARE REPORTS AND PROVIDE PROSECUTORS WITH BACKGROUND ON THE PSYCHOLOGY OF ANIMAL ABUSE IN DOMESTIC VIOLENCE CASES. IN SEPTEMBER AND DECEMBER OF 2015, FORENSIC SCIENCES AND ANTI-CRUELTY PROJECTS TEAMED WITH ASPCA GOVERNMENT RELATIONS TO PRESENT BRIEFINGS TO MEMBERS OF CONGRESS ON THE FEDERAL PET AND WOMEN SAFETY (PAWS) ACT. THIS LEGISLATION WOULD INCREASE RESOURCES FOR THE CARE OF PETS FOR VICTIMS OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AND CREATE NEW PENALTIES FOR SOME FORMS OF ANIMAL ABUSE ASSOCIATED WITH SUCH VIOLENCE. THE ASPCA CRUELTY INTERVENTION ADVOCACY (CIA) PROGRAM HELPS DECREASE THE NUMBER OF AT-RISK DOGS AND CATS IN COMMUNITIES BY PROVIDING PET OWNERS WITH ACCESS TO VITAL RESOURCES SUCH AS VETERINARY CARE, PET SUPPLIES, BOARDING AND MORE. IN 2015, CIA MANAGED 517 HOARDING CASES AND ASSISTED 821 ANIMALS. PARTNERING WITH THE NEW YORK CITY POLICE DEPARTMENT (NYPD) AND ANIMAL CARE CENTERS OF NYC ENABLES CIA TO IMPROVE THE WELFARE OF THOUSANDS OF PETS, ALLOWING THEM TO REMAIN WITH THEIR OWNERS. IN 2015, CIA LAUNCHED THE EAST NEW YORK PET PROJECT IN BROOKLYN, NEW YORK. LEVERAGING THE ASPCA'S COLLECTIVE EXPERTISE AND RESOURCES, THE TEAM SELECTED AN UNDERSERVED AREA TO PILOT SERVICES SUCH AS INCREASED MEDICAL SERVICES, SPAY/NEUTER PROCEDURES, DOG HOUSES AND FENCE REPAIR TO KEEP PETS IN HOMES. IN 2015, THE TEAM AT THE ASPCA'S BEHAVIORAL REHABILITATION CENTER AT ST. HUBERT'S ANIMAL WELFARE CENTER IN MADISON, NEW JERSEY, CONTINUED TO HONE THEIR REHABILITATION PROGRAM PROTOCOLS AND SAVE LIVES. AFTER GRADUATING MORE THAN 200 DOGS FROM THE PROGRAM SINCE ITS 2013 LAUNCH, THE REHABILITATION CENTER MAINTAINS A HIGH SUCCESS RATE. IN 2015, WORK CONTINUED ON THE EXPANSION OF THE PROGRAM AND THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE NEW FACILITY IN WEAVERVILLE, NORTH CAROLINA, SCHEDULED TO OPEN IN 2017. THE TEAM WELCOMED 77 EXTERNAL VISITORS AND HOSTED REPRESENTATIVES FROM 22 ANIMAL WELFARE ORGANIZATIONS THAT LEARNED ABOUT THE REHABILITATION CENTER'S INNOVATIONS, PROCEDURES AND PLANS FOR THE FUTURE. IN 2015, THE ASPCA FARM TEAM WORKED TO ENCOURAGE CONSUMER LEGISLATIVE AND REGULATORY ADOPTION OF HIGHER WELFARE FARMING STANDARDS. THIS WORK CENTERED AROUND EDUCATING THE PUBLIC ON THE PLIGHT OF FACTORY FARMED ANIMALS; CONNECTING CONSUMERS WITH RESOURCES TO HELP THEM DECIPHER THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MEANINGFUL AND MEANINGLESS WELFARE CLAIMS ON FOOD; AND FIGHTING FOR LAWS AND REGULATIONS THAT IMPROVED FARM ANIMALS' LIVES AND INCREASED AGRICULTURAL TRANSPARENCY. ACCOMPLISHMENTS INCLUDED EXPOSING THE DANGERS OF AG-GAG; IMPROVING THE LIVES OF BROILER CHICKENS; FIGHTING EXTREME CONFINEMENT OF HENS, SOWS AND CALVES; INCREASING PUBLIC AWARENESS OF FOOD LABELS; IMPROVING THE USDA ORGANIC LABEL; EXPANDING WELFARE-CONSCIOUSNESS; AND SHIFTING PUBLIC PROCUREMENT TO HIGHER-WELFARE SOURCES. IN 2015, LEGAL ADVOCACY CONTINUED TO PROVIDE SECOND CHAIR LEGAL SUPPORT TO LAW ENFORCEMENT AND PROSECUTORS ACROSS THE COUNTRY. THE DEPARTMENT PROVIDED SUBSTANTIAL ASSISTANCE IN APPROXIMATELY 20 CASES NATIONWIDE IN ADDITION TO ITS WORK IN NEW YORK CITY, DEVELOPING PARTICULAR EXPERTISE WITH STATE STATUTES THAT ALLOW FOR QUICKER DISPOSITION OF SEIZED ANIMALS. IN A CLEWISTON, FLORIDA, PUPPY MILL CASE, LEGAL ADVOCACY WORKED CLOSELY WITH THE COUNTY ATTORNEY TO FILE A PETITION FOR CUSTODY THAT ULTIMATELY RESULTED IN THE OWNERS VOLUNTARILY RELINQUISHING THE ANIMALS, THEREBY ALLOWING THE ANIMALS TO BE PLACED IN NEW HOMES SHORTLY AFTER SEIZURE. LEGAL ADVOCACY ALSO FILED 15 PETITIONS UNDER NEW YORK'S SECURITY POSTING LAW, SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCING THE TIME THAT ANIMALS SEIZED IN NEW YORK CITY POLICE DEPARTMENT CASES ARE HELD IN LEGAL LIMBO. ON THE CIVIL LITIGATION FRONT, LEGAL ADVOCACY SUBMITTED AN AMICUS (FRIEND OF THE COURT) BRIEF IN SUPPORT OF A PLAINTIFF IN REYNOLDSBURG, OHIO, WHO IS CHALLENGING A MUNICIPAL ORDINANCE BANNING PIT BULLS. THE PUPPY MILLS TEAM CONTINUED TO RAISE AWARENESS AND PROVIDE PROTECTION FOR PUPPY MILL DOGS ACROSS THE U.S. IN 2015, THE NOPETSTOREPUPPIES.COM WEBSITE WAS REDESIGNED TO MAKE IT MORE MOBILE-FRIENDLY; THE SITE NOW ALSO INCLUDES A COMPREHENSIVE SNAPSHOT OF LAWS AND LEGISLATION ACROSS THE COUNTRY AND PROVIDES OPPORTUNITIES FOR SUPPORTERS TO TAKE ACTION. IT HOUSES MORE THAN 21,000 PHOTOGRAPHS TAKEN BY U.S. DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE (USDA) INSPECTORS AT LICENSED BREEDING FACILITIES WHERE VIOLATIONS WERE FOUND, GIVING CONSUMERS AN INSIDE VIEW INTO THE CONDITIONS AT SUBSTANDARD BREEDING FACILITIES AND LINKING SOME OF THEM TO PET STORES THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY THAT HAVE SOLD PUPPIES FROM THESE BREEDERS. THE ASPCA, IN COLLABORATION WITH OTHER ANIMAL WELFARE GROUPS, FILED A PETITION FOR RULEMAKING WITH THE USDA, URGING THE AGENCY TO IMPROVE THE STANDARDS OF CARE FOR DOGS KEPT IN FEDERALLY LICENSED COMMERCIAL BREEDING FACILITIES FOR USE IN THE PET TRADE. THE ASPCA ALSO WORKED ON FEDERAL, STATE AND LOCAL LEGISLATIVE EFFORTS TO HELP PROVIDE MORE PROTECTIONS FOR DOGS IN PUPPY MILLS. IN 2015, THE ASPCA SUPPORTED MANY LOCALITIES IN PASSING BILLS TO PROHIBIT OR RESTRICT RETAIL PUPPY SALES TO KEEP SOME OF THE VERY WORST BREEDERS FROM SOURCING TO LOCAL PET STORES. IN 2015, GOVERNMENT RELATIONS (GR) HELPED FURTHER THE MASSACHUSETTS FARM ANIMAL CONFINEMENT BALLOT MEASURE, COLLECTING SIGNATURES TO HELP QUALIFY A MEASURE FOR THE NOVEMBER 2016 BALLOT THAT WOULD REQUIRE FARM ANIMALS TO HAVE ENOUGH ROOM TO TURN AROUND AND EXTEND THEIR LIMBS. THE GR TEAM WORKED TO ENABLE MORE EFFECTIVE RESPONSES FOR ANIMAL VICTIMS OF MANMADE AND NATURAL DISASTERS. THE TEAM ALSO HELPED STRENGTHEN STANDARDS FOR DOGS AND CATS SOLD IN PET STORES, PARTICULARLY IN NEW YORK AND NEW JERSEY. ON THE FEDERAL LEVEL, GR WORKED TO ENACT TOUGHER STANDARDS TO IMPROVE THE LIVES OF FARM ANIMALS AT FEDERALLY RUN RESEARCH FACILITIES. THE ASPCA SUCCESSFULLY WORKED TO INCLUDE STRONG LANGUAGE IN THE FY2016 OMNIBUS BILL REQUIRING THE U.S. MEAT ANIMAL RESEARCH CENTER (USMARC) AND THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE'S OTHER FEDERALLY RUN AGRICULTURAL RESEARCH FACILITIES TO COMPLY WITH IMPROVED ANIMAL WELFARE STANDARDS. NOW, FOR THE FIRST TIME, USMARC AND SIMILAR FACILITIES CONDUCTING FARM ANIM

FORM 990, PART VI, LINE 15 The Audit Committee of the ASPCA Board is the authorized compensation-setting body that reviews and approves the compensation of the "Disqualified Persons" of the ASPCA. The ASPCA engages an independent compensation expert to conduct a compensation study to assess the reasonableness of each "Disqualified Person's" total compensation in accordance with the rebuttable presumption "safe harbor" provisions of Section 4958 of the Internal Revenue Code. The compensation expert assesses the reasonableness of each person's total compensation based on comparability data for the positions under review and provides such data and analysis to the Audit Committee for its review. The comparability data are drawn from industry surveys and data sources for comparable positions in organizations of similar scope, operating budget, and type. With respect to "Disqualified Persons" other than the President & CEO, the Audit Committee reviews the compensation expert's study and comparability data and the President & CEO's analysis of each individual's performance, deliberates, and votes on whether to approve the total compensation recommendation proposed by the President & CEO. (The person whose compensation is under review is not present and does not participate in the deliberations, except that such person may answer questions that will help the committee in its deliberations.) With respect to the President & CEO, the Audit Committee reviews the compensation expert's study and comparability data, deliberates, and votes on a recommendation for the President's total compensation (including performance bonus), which recommendation it provides to the full Board of Directors. The full Board of Directors assesses the Audit Committee's recommendations and votes whether to approve the total compensation (including performance bonus) for the President & CEO. For all "Disqualified Persons," the Audit Committee documents the basis for its determinations concurrently with the approval of the compensation by drafting minutes of the meeting at which the determinations were made. The minutes include the following information: 1. The terms of the approved compensation and the date approved; 2. The names of members of the Audit Committee who were present during discussion of the compensation and those who voted on it; 3. The comparability data that was relied on by the Audit Committee and how such data was obtained; and 4. Any actions (such as recusal) taken by a member of the Audit Committee having a conflict of interest. The Audit Committee then approves the minutes within a reasonable period of time after its preparation. Similarly, the board documents the basis for its determination of the president & ceo's compensation concurrently with the approval of the compensation by drafting minutes of the meeting at which the determination was made.
