Court Case Dogs. The Safe Humane Chicago (SHC) Court Case Dogs (TM) Program is a first-of-its-kind in the country, and it improves the quality of life for dogs impounded at Chicago Animal Care & Control (CACC) as a result of criminal proceedings against their current or former owners - in fact, saves their lives. It is a collaboration of SHC with CACC, law enforcement, the criminal justice system, and the animal rescue community and depends on funding from numerous individual and business cash and non-cash donations as well as grants. Court Case Dogs are impounded as "evidence" associated with the criminal court cases of their owners, whether their owners were cruel, abusive, neglectful or convicted felons. Each year hundreds of these dogs are trapped in the legal system and suffer from the unjust and incorrect perception that they are "damaged goods." In fact, they are dogs who have "done the time but not the crime" and show themselves to be resilient. What began in January 2010 as a partnership between SHC, Best Friends Animal Society and CACC to advocate for, support and re-home these animals is now a thriving program managed by SHC with support from other programs built to engage under-serviced or justice-involved people who have been impacted by trauma. Court Case Dogs are given a second chance at a great life by a long line of heroes: police; animal control officers; the justice system; Court Advocates; CACC; veterinarians; volunteers, professional dog trainers and behavior consultants; partnering rescue groups; and the families that welcome them into their homes. SHC offers them lifetime behavioral support as needed, free of charge to their shelters, fosters or owners. Court Case Dogs beat the odds. Whereas about 2% of them made it out of impoundment alive before the program began, the program saved more than 90% of them in 2018. During its first eight years ending 12-31-2018, the program saved 1,245 dogs, 1,162 of whom were adopted. With only 4 dogs in the program at CACC as of 12-31-2018, 1,237 have been transferred to more than150 partner rescue groups for rehoming. Their average length of stay at CACC (part of which they were not yet owned by CACC because of ongoing legal matters) has been improved from an average of 256 days at program start to an average 40 or so days by 12-31-2018. Keep in mind that length of stay at CACC is affected by many different actions, decisions and communication, legal constraints, shelter and adopter perceptions, and available resources of professionals, staff, community members and organizations, including the following: offenders / owners at time of impoundment; laws and policies; police; CACC; prosecutors; judges; available veterinary, behavioral, transportation and homing resources; inter-agency communications; social networking; and marketing, all of which is not under the control of any one organization but is monitored by SHC and part of our extensive network. In addition, Court Case Dogs give back to our communities by being model companions, service dogs, therapy dogs, ambassador dogs, sports stars, demonstration dogs and loved pets, among others. You can read their stories on our website (https://safehumanechicago.org) and on social media. All of this requires recruiting, training, managing and supporting community volunteers, and our staff devotes considerable resources to this. Program successes are measured in numbers of Court Case Dogs saved and successfully homed, including returns; decrease in time impounded or fostered; and successful rehoming. In 2018, 75 or so volunteers donated approximately 1,750 hours to Court Case Dog program activities. Court Case Dogs are also included in the playgroups that SHC manages at CACC. In 2018, volunteers devoted approximately 3,000 hours in playgroups with Court Case and other CACC dogs. Including all activities with the Court Case Dogs at CACC in 2018, more than 150 volunteers donated approximately 7,000 hours to the program. Demographics of program beneficiaries: A majority of the animal victims helped by the Court Case Dog Program are, of course, dogs and of those, approximately 70% are perceived to be or labelled "pit bull" dogs. A small number of cats were saved as well. But four-legged animals are not the only ones who benefit. The Court Case Dog program brings numerous community members together to help animals as well as people and their families; and the program serves as a foundation for all the other Safe Humane programs: Lifetime Bonds, Community Re-Entry, VALOR - Veterans Advancing Lives Of Rescues, youth programs, Collaborative Justice and community outreach efforts.
4b (Code:   ) (Expenses $ 42,826 including grants of $ 0 ) (Revenue $ 43,810 )
Animal program services provided by Safe Humane Chicago (SHC) at Chicago Animal Care and Control (CACC) other than the Court Case Dogs Program but which includes services for Court Case Dogs as well: playgroups, manners classes, in-kennel enrichment (IKE), out-of-kennel enrichment/walking, as well as helping with almost weekly rabies vaccinations for recently impounded dogs, dog behavioral assessments and volunteer training. Following are some specifics: During 2018 SHC continued to manage and maintain playgroups for CACC dogs' mental and physical exercise, trying out and facilitating the play for more than 1,200 dogs. Note that SHC facilitated the building of playlots. In 2012 SHC received funding from Animal Farm Foundation to build playlots and begin running and managing playgroups. Every year, additional funding helped maintain the playlots. In 2016 a Court Case Dog adopter and SHC donor and volunteer donated funds for a second playlot to be devoted to dogs who are recovering or exposed mainly to upper respiration infections, dogs who cannot be mixed with the healthy population. In 2018, work began on new dog runs for the isolated or unhealthy dogs. In other programs, by 2018 year-end, SHC hosted 5 to 6 days of playgroup per week, 2 formalized enrichment sessions per week, and additional enrichment opportunities throughout the week as they arose. 3 days of weekly manners classes were also maintained. Current metrics track how many dogs are evaluated each month, participation in programs by each dog, and each dog's outcome. In addition, during 2018, a majority of dogs at CACC were also helped by more accurate assessments of dog-dog sociability and handling as well as regular mental and physical exercise. In addition, the SHC Playgroup Coordinator led a team of 3-6 volunteers with SHC pro-bono veterinarian and Board member J.B. Bruederle, DVM, to vaccinate 1,148 dogs so they could be tested in playgroup and participate in off-side events and programs - a 29% increase over the 889 dogs vaccinated by the team in 2017. The more than 1,200 dogs in playgroup in 2018 is a 45% increase over the 826 in playgroups in 2017 while maintaining an average live release of approximately 95% for all dogs evaluated in group (pass, retest, or decline). Some 55 volunteers devoted approximately 3,000 hours in playgroups with Court Case and other CACC dogs. More than 7,500 human-canine interactions were tracked in enrichment activities for year ending 12/31/18. SHC also engages volunteers to help adopt out animals or transfer them to rescue groups, provide support for low-cost and free services for companion animals, and provide education and training for community residents or CACC visitors. Including all activities at CACC in 2018, more than 175 volunteers (not including our corporate volunteers) donated approximately 8,500 hours. The populations served/included in SHC programming at CACC are diverse in species, race/ethnicity, income, education, employment and age; and they live throughout Cook and its collar Illinois counties.

Outreach and Education. Safe Humane Chicago (SHC) programming other than that reported by individual program name includes community outreach and education, special events that raise awareness about Safe Humane while also raising needed funds to manage and implement programs, and special projects mainly with government agencies. Community outreach and education include presentations for children, youth and adults outside of the program areas discussed elsewhere. These presentations are designed to help community members further our mission. There are three main types of outreach in order of numbers provided in 2018: (1) Corporate or Group Volunteer Days which introduce corporate employees or other groups to Chicago Animal Care & Control (CACC) and SHC programs and provides these volunteers the opportunity for hands-on work with the animals and our volunteers; (2) participation in community events and professional conferences that further our mission and may raise funds; and (3) "Kids, Animals and Kindness" presentations that teach children how to connect with animals safely, including proper techniques for approaching and handling animals, thus helping to avoid bites; humane treatment and proper care of animals, including the importance of spay/neuter programs and adequate veterinary care; why dog fighting and animal abuse are bad; and beneficial activities with dogs. Overall in 2018, SHC successes were due in large measure to the commitment of approximately 300 volunteers who gave some 10,000 hours and to the generous donations of individuals and businesses that were allocated among all the SHC programs according to need. An independent contractor helped to coordinate volunteer efforts and finalized volunteer communications such as newsletters. SHC continued to distribute its book "A Ruff Road Home: The Court Case Dogs of Chicago," which documents the stories from rescue by police to adoption of 21 of the first Court Case Dogs. By 12-31-2018, all but 100 of the 2,500 books printed were distributed for donations that funded SHC programs. Demographics of program beneficiaries: The populations served/included in SHC programming are diverse in species, race/ethnicity, income, education, employment and age; and they live throughout Cook and its collar Illinois counties.

Lifetime Bonds. Lifetime Bonds (LB) programming in 2018 continued (a) at the Illinois Youth Center in Chicago (IYCC) for incarcerated males ages 13-19 (LB IYCC) in collaboration with Chicago Animal Care and Control (CACC), (b) in Kane County (LB KC) in collaboration with Northern Illinois University, the 16th Judicial Circuit Court Services and Anderson Animal Shelter during the first part of the year and then at the Illinois Youth Center in St Charles (LB SC) with Northern Illinois University and Aurora Animal Control; and (c) with the YMCA's Youth Safety & Violence Prevention (YSVP) program at CACC (LB YSVP). The Safe Humane Chicago (SHC) program with the jobs-training program at CACC for adults with the City of Chicago's Department of Family Services and Westside Health Authority (working with adults seeking community re-entry) also continued, but because of its focus on job opportunities and training, the program has been recategorized and is being tracked separately as Community Re-Entry. Following are more details about each of these programs. (a) and (b) The LB model is built on the success of the programming at IYCC. Initiated in the last half of 2009, LB IYCC is a collaboration among IYCC (and the Illinois Department of Juvenile Justice (IDJJ)), CACC and SHC. Working with adult volunteers, youth learn to bond with, socialize, and train shelter dogs, improving the quality of their lives and in fact saving their lives by making them more adoptable. Consistent with role model and leadership development and Positive Youth Development (PYD) principles, incarcerated youth are provided opportunities to participate in structured activities; develop skills; form pro-social relationships with adults, peers and dogs; and engage in efforts that benefit the community through leadership and personal commitment. The Lifetime Bonds goal at IYCC is to help incarcerated youth develop valuable relationships and lifetime skills while in custody and the assets needed to successfully reenter the community and avoid re-offending. The 12- to 15-week session involves weekly, 60-90 minute sessions during which 10-15 young men work with adult volunteers and dog trainers. Key objectives for the youth include learning dog handling and training skills using positive, relationship-based reinforcement; learning and practicing communication skills by interpreting dogs' body language and responding appropriately and compassionately; developing a sense of social responsibility by learning about animal abuse and population issues and giving back to the community by saving dogs' lives; learning about facts and fictions regarding dogs, particularly common types; learning about animal-related careers through guest speakers (dog trainers, dog business owners, dog groomers, dog masseuses, and dog agility instructors, among others); and helping to place shelter dogs in loving homes. During the first quarter of each session, trained SHC Ambassador Dogs work with the youth on basic companion, handling and training skills; and during most of the remainder, SHC Court Case Dogs and other CACC shelter dogs are brought to IYCC so that dogs and youth can help and learn from each other. Upon release from IYCC, LB graduates may participate in internships with our Court Case Dog program, helping to socialize and advocate for dogs who are victims in animal abuse or cruelty cases. These jobs allow youth to build on the pro-social skills they learned in the program and further support their successful reentry into the community, significantly reducing the likelihood of recidivism. The key challenge is to connect with social workers who are assigned to help these young men during their re-entry to encourage and facilitate their continuing participation. In 2018, at IYCC 36 new youth graduated from four 12-week-long sessions, working with some 30 CACC shelter dogs; at LB KC in Elgin with 16th District Judicial Court Services, 7 youth worked with 15-18 dogs from Anderson Animal Control; and at IYC SC in 2 sessions (August-December), 14 youth worked with 16 dogs from Aurora Animal Control. LB programming successes are measured in numbers of justice-involved youth and at-risk dogs reached, the surveys and evaluations given to the youth before and after each session, and, if applicable, the recidivism rate of program participants in state institutions. Between 2010 and 2018, Lifetime Bonds at IYCC has served more than 430 youth. By focusing on the assets of court-involved youth, we help young people develop healthy attitudes, behaviors, skills and relationships, while reducing crime and the number of youth reentering the juvenile justice system. We seek to help these youth help the dogs who have been abused. Between 2010 and 2018, close to 100 at-risk dogs have been helped and adopted into loving homes. Last, (c) SHC continued a program with the YMCA's Youth Safety & Violence Prevention (YSVP) teens at CACC to provide them with the skills needed to safely handle, train and socialize at-risk shelter dogs who are impacted by violence. The youth participate in pro-social activities with adult volunteers, and they help to improve the quality of life of shelter dogs. They are also exposed to important messages about compassion, empathy, and the connection between animal violence and human violence as well as kindness to people and animals. They are introduced to job opportunities in the animal welfare community. Having at first paid stipends to the youth participants, we found more qualitative success when we did not pay stipends, so that did not continue in 2018. SHC served 28 youth and worked with approximately 50 shelter dogs. The primary populations served are youth between the ages of 12 and 21 and adults, primarily of African-American, Hispanic and Caucasian ethnicity and from low-income families who live in the south and west sides of Chicago in communities most impacted by violence (including abuse of both people and animals) and lack of resources for their human family members as well as their companion animals. The majority of LB participants are male, as all are male at the IYC facilities where SHC provides programming. Approximately half of the YMCA's YSVP participants were female in 2018. A minority but significant number of the youth at IYCC is from low-income families who live outside the city of Chicago, in Chicago suburbs and Illinois counties west of Cook (particularly Joliet and Rockford areas), and the youth in LB KC are mainly from Kane County or surrounding areas.

Youth Programs. Partly as a replacement for the Safe Humane Chicago (SHC) Youth Leaders program, which we ceased in 2017, we contracted with Chicago Public Schools (CPS) for a one-time, pilot program for students in four Englewood high schools that were slated to be closed at the end of the 2017-2018 school year: John Hope, TEAM Englewood, Paul Robeson and William Raines Harper. Reaching youth in neighborhoods impacted by few services and high rates of violence and trauma is particularly important because of the alarming number of Chicago children exposed to violence, particularly dog fighting, which is associated with other risks such as family violence, illegal weapons, illegal drugs, gambling and gang activity. The Youth Ambassadors Program was based on the very successful SHC Youth Leaders Program developed and proven in two CPS high schools, Walter Payton and Robert Lindblom, and the Lifetime Bonds programs at two Illinois Youth Centers (IYC Chicago and St. Charles) and YMCA's Youth Safety and Violence Prevention (YSVP). The actual programming was restructured to meet the needs of the participating students, the timetable, and the logistics required, all with CPS participation and support. The project was part of the CPS commitment to supporting CPS students with Social-Emotional Learning skills, job skills and innovative, engaging after-school programming. It met twice weekly for approximately two hours for nine weeks on Mondays and Wednesdays after school from April 9, 2018, through June 6, 2018 (excluding Memorial Day), for a total of 17 classes per school. The session included an orientation, 11 or 12 classes in their schools, 2 or 3 field trips to animal facilities, a field trip to a local elementary school, and a graduation. A curriculum template and schedule was developed and tweaked as circumstances allowed or required. Between 6 and 25 students from each school worked with Safe-Humane-trained adult handlers with dogs and facilitators in each of the classes. Participants worked with Safe Humane Ambassador Dogs and met shelter dogs at Chicago Animal Care and Control and Animal Welfare League on Wabash Avenue near the schools. They were also exposed to fun and healthy ways to interact with dogs, observing and trying dog agility activities with trained dogs. 30 adults participated in 17 classes in each of the four schools. The students were Chicago public high school students in the four high schools identified, ages 14-18, of diverse race/ethnicity but mainly African-American and Hispanic. The majority were from low- to middle-income families.

VALOR - Veterans Advancing Lives Of Rescues. Safe Humane Chicago (SHC) suspended regular VALOR programming in 2018 due to lack of funding for a program manager or for mental-health or social-service support for individual veterans; but we continued to help VALOR graduates and other military veterans with their own animals. Piloted in late 2014, the VALOR program partnered U.S. military veterans who are clients in the Veterans Project of the nonprofit Thresholds organization with abused and neglected dogs in the SHC Court Case Dog Program. Five or six VALOR veterans worked with Court Case Dogs in a structured 8-week education program with two, 2-hour sessions per week for the veteran-dog teams, customized by SHC trainers, with input from mental health professionals, where appropriate. Each veteran-dog team is paired with a skilled handler, supervised by an oversight trainer. The veterans learned new skills as they provided socialization, training and a brighter future for these animals. Quantitative and qualitative measures of outcomes were used to evaluate this successful program. A nine-minute information video produced pro bono by Karl Productions is available online. In 2017, we partnered with the Jesse Brown VA Recreational Therapy Department to provide military veterans and their caseworkers. The populations served by this program are diverse in specie (human and canine), race/ethnicity, education, employment and age; and they live in Cook County (primarily Chicago). The 28 veterans who have participated in the program represent all four branches of the military (Amy, Air Force, Navy and Marines) and include both males and females. They range in age from 30 to 60. Most were African-American with a small percentage Hispanic or Caucasian.

Community Re-Entry: Safe Humane Chicago (SHC) continued the Re-Entry program at Chicago Animal Care and Control (CACC) for workers through the City's Department of Family Services in a jobs-training agreement with Westside Health Authority who cleaned the dog pavilions. The program uses the Lifetime Bonds model in classes offered twice weekly but with more emphasis on job skills. Participants worked with the SHC trainer and adult SHC-CACC volunteer handlers and facilitators with the following key objectives: (a) safe and humane handling of the dogs whose kennels they clean, reading dog body language, understanding cage presence and cage entries/exits, and positive/relationship-based training techniques and benefits; (b) learning and practicing communication skills by interpreting dogs' body language and responding appropriately and compassionately; (c) reinforcing a sense of social responsibility by discus8sing animal abuse and population issues and allowing them to give back to the community by saving and improving dogs' lives; and (d) introducing participants to animal-related employment opportunities which exist within the animal welfare and pet industries. They participate as volunteers on their break. Because of the number of staff, we have sometimes divided the group in half, one on Mondays and one on Wednesdays, with roughly the same curriculum on both days each week. In 2018, some 40 WHA staffers participated in the program, working with more than 100 CACC shelter dogs and 12 SHC volunteers or staff. The primary human populations served are adults, primarily of African-American, Hispanic and Caucasian ethnicity and from low-income families who live in the south and west sides of Chicago in communities most impacted by violence (including abuse of both people and animals) and lack of resources for their human family members as well as their companion animals. The majority of participants are male.

Collaborative Justice, including Court Advocacy. Collaborative Justice includes Safe Humane programs and initiatives that focus on justice and humane treatment for animals and their families who are the victims of violence or other trauma; provide tools for preventing as well as responding to animal abuse and its connection to interpersonal violence; connect those without adequate resources for their companion animals to affordable, accessible ones; and offer education and training to professionals and volunteers that can make our communities safer and more humane. They fall into two categories: (1) Court Advocacy, in which volunteer Court Advocates follow and report on court cases involving animal abuse of all kinds and advocate for the victimized animals and people in court and the community; and (2) education and training for law enforcement, prosecutors and other attorneys, courtroom personnel (including judges), animal control professionals, and social and animal welfare professionals. (1) The Court Advocacy program encompasses all efforts required to train and support the volunteer Court Advocates in representing abused animals and their families in court and to provide the resources needed for restorative justice in these cases. Our focus is on state and local laws. Resources include educational and reference materials about the laws, associated policies and procedures, best practices for humanely treating the victims, and community resources needed for effective collaboration. We also pay for professional, veterinary forensics where needed, usually necropsies, and the transportation of evidence to a laboratory. In 2018, some 30 volunteer Court Advocates (including a core of some 15 very active Advocates) went to court almost every day of the week in Cook County and other nearby counties to follow some 200 cases that had multiple hearings and included some 400 animal victims in addition to human victims. A majority of the animal victims were dogs and, of those, a majority of them were identified as "pit-bull" dogs. Because of this effort, animal victims can be assessed, socialized and trained, and rehomed more expeditiously. Volunteer Court Advocates donated more than 1,000 hours of their time in court and in training and occasional planning sessions, helping to reduce the average length of stay of a Court Case Dog at CACC. (2) The training we provide to professionals focuses on the connection between animal abuse and interpersonal violence, enforcing animal-related laws, effective sentencing and humanely treating animals, particularly those trapped in the judicial system. We occasionally train prosecutors in the misdemeanor courtrooms and review animal-related procedures annually with Circuit Court judges for 90-minute sessions. In 2018 we offered but were not able to schedule criminal-justice-related trainings. Nevertheless, we provided materials in court to professionals who asked for or needed them. Also, the video series from 2013 which we produced in partnership with the U.S. Department of Justice Office of Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS) and the National Canine Research Council, "Police & Dog Encounters: Tactical Strategies and Strategic Tools for Keeping Our Communities Safe and Humane," continued to be used as a start of ongoing, dynamic training for law enforcement in their encounters with dogs in communities. Publicly released in 2014, the series is available free of charge through the COPS Office portal on its website, www.cops.usdoj.gov, as well as https://safehumanechicago.org. Demographics of program beneficiaries. The populations served by this programming are diverse in specie (humane, canine, feline and, less often, equine and others), race/ethnicity, income, education, employment and age; and they live throughout Cook and its collar Illinois counties. Overall, the programming includes in some way community members and stakeholders and justice and community welfare professionals as well as abused or neglected animals.

Return Reference Explanation
Form 990, Part III, Line 2 Safe Humane Chicago provided Chicago Public Schools (CPS) with a one-time-only Safe Humane Youth Ambassadors Program in four high schools in the Englewood community: John Hope, TEAM Englewood, Paul Robeson and William Raines Harper. It is based on Safe Humane's very successful Youth Leaders Program developed and proven in two CPS high schools, Walter Payton and Robert Lindblom and the Lifetime Bonds programs at the Illinois Youth Center Chicago and with 16th Judicial Circuit (Kane County) Court Services and YMCA's Youth Safety and Violence Prevention (YSVP). The actual programming was restructured to meet the needs of the participating students, the timetable, and the logistics required, all with CPS participation and support. The project is part of the CPS commitment to supporting CPS students with Social-Emotional Learning skills, job skills and innovative, engaging after-school programming.
Form 990, Part III, Line 3 For the 2017-2018 school year, Safe Humane Chicago (SHC) suspended Youth Leaders programming due to funding and staffing constraints, recognizing the high logistical costs associated with going to elementary schools across the city. SHC took a hiatus in VALOR programming due mainly to the lack of mental-health or social-service support that our partners at the VA Hospitals could provide and lack of funding for a program coordinator or manager. SHC renamed and refocused the "Re-Entry" programming with the cleaning staff at Chicago Animal Care & Control (CACC), removing it from the list of Lifetime Bonds programs, which is focused on youth and young adults and creating a Community Re-Entry category to incorporate the emphasis on job skills and opportunities.
Form 990, Part III, Line 4d Other Programs with Program Service Accomplishments include (1) Lifetime Bonds, (2) Youth Programs, (3) VALOR - Veterans Advancing Lives Of Rescues, (4) Community Re-entry and (5) Collaborative Justice. Each are described separately.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11b All the numbers and text of the 2018 Form 990 were reviewed in pieces by the Board of Directors. The complete copy was distributed to all Board members before filing.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 12c At one Board meeting each year, the Board discusses conflict of interest issues and requires all Board members to complete a form attesting to the details of any conflict of interest issues.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15 The Executive Committee provided information to the Board of Directors about comparability compensation data for the Executive Director position in 2015 but has not reviewed data since then because the position is not being paid.

Form 990, Part XI, Line 9 This is an adjustment made for balancing: something is not entered correctly in our online Quickbooks about fundraising, mainly because of category changes made when we moved the books to an online version. This contributed to the late filing (in an attempt to reconcile exactly). We are working through that for 2019 and will file a corrected return for 2018 as needed.

Explanation:
In 2018 our bookkeeper died unexpectedly (9/23/2018) in the midst of finishing 2017 990 filings and starting to get the 2018 numbers in place for 3rd quarter. Our ED and BOD scrambled to get bookkeeping in place and to figure out the changes that had been made at that point and what needed to be done to complete that. In 2019 we also changed our bookkeeping software to Quickbooks Online from the desktop version, which turned out to be a major change with differences in how some of the accounts and categories were tracked, particularly in regards to fundraising events. When the ED, who is filing these 2018 numbers, worked through the final filings using the e-file system, Form 990 Online, things did not match. We have been diligently working to fix the problems, which turned out to be considerably more complicated than expected.
