2014 - Kitsap Humane Society

2014
Annual Report
A Record-Breaking Year for
From our Executive Director
Dear Friends,
If you were to spend just a little time around our shelter, you would
begin to “get it” about how deeply our staff and volunteers care about
every single pet that comes through our doors. The feeling is palpable.
For many of the animals that come here, the transition from being
homeless to finding a loving home may happen within just a
few days. But many of our pets require a lot of extra effort, skill
and patience. Some require intensive medical treatment, which
can include surgery and recovery. Some require weeks of special
handling, behavior training and individual socialization. Some need
to be sent out to skilled foster homes for a greater level of individual
attention. If we see a path to adoption, our team puts together a
“treatment plan” and we then do everything within our means to help
that pet succeed.
A particular moving moment at our shelter is when a pet that’s been with us for a couple
of months finally finds the right adoptive home. It is not unusual for staff at the front desk to get on the PA system
and announce that “Tonker” or “Clara” is finally going home. At that moment, everyone around the shelter pauses,
smiles and cheers for that hard-earned success.
Last year we had close to a 95 percent success rate when it came to saving the lives of the pets that came through
our doors. And more volunteers and donors supported Kitsap Humane Society than ever before. These too are
things we cheer about. Thank you for accompanying us on this incredible journey of love and life-saving care.
Sincerely,
Eric Stevens
Executive Director

Kitsap Humane Society 2014 Annual Report
A Record Number of Lives Saved
5,192 animals rehomed - up 991
More than 5,000 animals passed through the doors of Kitsap Humane Society last year and were given a second
chance at life. All were cared for with compassion and respect for their individuality. To us, each animal has its own
unique story – from the very young kitten that fits in the palm of a hand to the older dog whose long-time owner
can no longer care for him. Some of the pets we sheltered were strays that had been lost or abandoned, while
others were surrendered by families unable to keep them. Many were rescued from overcrowded shelters where
they were at risk of being euthanized.
All of us at Kitsap Humane Society share a common vision – that every adoptable companion animal deserves
a home. And we’re willing to do whatever it takes for that to happen. Our Veterinary Services staff provides
life-saving medical treatment and surgery for pets that arrive at our doors in desperate need. Our Behavior
and Training Department coordinates enrichment, socialization and training for dogs by partnering with staff,
volunteers and adopters. It’s not unusual to find a particularly shy or anxious animal unwinding with staff in our
administrative offices.
In 2014, those efforts paid off. A total of 5,192 animals were rehomed (including 4,515 adoptions) – a new record
for the 106-year-old Kitsap Humane Society. We also continued efforts to reduce the number of unwanted animals
in the county by performing more spay/neuter surgeries (4,684) than ever before. Additionally, the quality of care
shelter animals receive went up another notch as we expanded our foster care and volunteer programs.
These are results to be proud of, for sure, but we’re not about to rest on our laurels. Thanks to the support of
donors like you, we’re well on our way to saving even more animals in 2015.
Maggie’s Story
Success!!!
Maggie exemplifies KHS’ dedication to giving every animal a second
chance at life. Surrendered to us in June when her former family felt
they couldn’t manage her and their other pets, Maggie had never
before been in a kennel environment. Scared and nervous, she hid
in the back of her kennel and avoided interacting with staff and
visitors. Behind that stressed exterior, Maggie was a loving family
dog who just needed to be understood. Maggie began working
with the Behavior and Training Department staff and dedicated
volunteers, and overcame her fear and stress inside the loud kennel
environment. Maggie also got special enrichment on outings away
from the shelter and learned important life skills like recall when offleash, and how to relax when left alone. After months of behavioral
support, heavy promotion and lots of love from staff and volunteers,
lucky Maggie found her new home. Maggie now lives in Poulsbo, where
she is showered with toys and adorable sweaters.
Thanks to
for generously donating the design and printing of this report.

Rescue
KHS’ New Rescue Me Program
Saving the lives of 1,221 animals
Kitsap Humane Society is in the business of saving lives, and through
our new Rescue Me Program, hundreds of animals at risk of euthanasia
at shelters across the region are being transported to KHS for adoption.
When KHS began transferring in at-risk dogs in 2013, support from
the community was overwhelming. In 2014 we expanded our reach,
saving even more lives through the Rescue Me Program. What started
as a partnership with a handful of shelters has blossomed into a
life-saving network of more than a dozen shelters across Washington
state and a number in Southern California. We had to increase the
role of our Transfer Coordinator to accommodate weekly (and more
frequent) transports and build relationships with our partner shelters.
Dedicated KHS volunteers help transport at-risk animals to our
shelter through all types of weather and at all hours of the day – even
overnight. Through a generous gift, KHS purchased a new, larger, more
efficient transport van that holds up to 30 animals. The Rescue Me
Program saved 1,221 dogs, puppies, cats and kittens from partner shelters in 2014.
Some of the shelters we partner with have no veterinarian on staff, or only a handful of kennels. As a result many
of the animals that came to us from these shelters were in danger of being euthanized. Now these animals are in
loving homes across the Puget Sound region.
Lucille’s Story
In the Nick of Time
When Kitsap Humane Society was contacted by a small, underresourced shelter in the south Sound region about a Shepherd-mix
puppy in urgent need of rescue, we had to help. The shelter had no
veterinarian on staff but knew that KHS had a phenomenal Veterinary
Services department and that we loved to help needy cases whenever
possible. On the day that 9-month-old Lucille was scheduled to be
euthanized due to constant and severe seizures, a KHS volunteer
rushed to the shelter and transported her back to KHS.
We rescued her just in time. Our Veterinary Services team quickly
got her epilepsy under control with medication, but as the seizures
subsided it became clear that a puppyhood of neglect had left Lucille
with few manners and skills a puppy her age should have. Behavior
and Training Department staff and volunteers worked with Lucille to
adjust to her seizure-free life, and just a few short weeks later, she was
adopted! Now named Kyna, she is loving life with her new owner and
doggie siblings.

Kitsap Humane Society 2014 Annual Report
Animal Control
Keeping Animals and Communities Safe
Kitsap Humane Society’s Animal Control Officers investigated
2,201 animal-related complaints in 2014, close to 350 of
which were cruelty complaints. In addition to recovering
strays and abandoned animals, Animal Control Officers
investigate cruelty, aggressive animal and nuisance reports
throughout all Kitsap County municipalities. KHS’s Officers are
also on call to assist local law enforcement agencies. From
livestock to injured companion animals, and everything in
between, Animal Control Officers face challenging cases
every day. Once back at the shelter, Animal Control Officers
work with shelter staff to triage cases, locate owners
whenever possible, and bring forward more serious cases
for prosecution.
Chelsea’s Story
Revival
When Animal Control Officers received a call through
911 for a sick and injured cat one morning in April, they
weren’t sure what they would find when they arrived
on scene on a country road in Seabeck. Emaciated,
dehydrated and lethargic, the orange female cat was stable
but in need of immediate medical attention. The Animal
Control Officer rushed her back to the shelter for care
and the Veterinary Services department got to work.
Named Chelsea by shelter staff, this sad cat was hooked
up to IV fluids and started on a feeding schedule to bring
her safely up to weight. Chelsea thrived with the love
and care she received from shelter staff and volunteers,
and within two short weeks she was healthy, happy and
adopted!

Rehabilitate
Rehabilitation Enhances Adoptability
Kitsap Humane Society staff, volunteers and community partners work together every single day to provide above
and beyond care and rehabilitation for shelter pets in need – helping to increase the likelihood of adoption.
Veterinary Care
Thousands of shelter pets a year receive basic veterinary treatment, including vaccinations, microchips and spay/
neuter surgery when they arrive at KHS. KHS’ Veterinary Services also provides advanced and specialty care for sick
and injured pets. Through partnerships with local veterinary clinics, KHS is able to rehabilitate and save pets that
would otherwise have faced euthanasia or perished due to a lack of diagnostics and treatment.
Behavior and Training
Kitsap Humane Society’s Behavior and Training Department works closely with the Adoption, Volunteer and
Foster Care departments to provide behavior support for shelter pets in need. Our goal is to decrease an animal’s
stress in the shelter and get them into a loving home quickly. When pets arrive with challenging behavior, or
become stressed in the shelter environment, staff and volunteers perform assessments and offer enrichment and
socialization. Once pets are adopted, we offer follow-up behavior and training support to help new adopters with
any issues that may arise.
Foster Care
KHS’s Foster Care Program provides home environments for animals too young, sick or stressed to be in a kennel
environment. In 2014, over 80 foster parents provided temporary homes for over 800 animals – over 200 more
animals than the year before.
Aria’s Story
Foster Care & Vet Services Tandem on Recovery
Aria came to KHS as an orphaned stray and went directly into a foster home
when she was 1 week old. When Aria’s foster parent noticed she had trouble
swallowing food, our Vet Services team discovered, after many checkups
and modifications to her diet, that Aria had a condition that restricted
her esophagus and made it impossible for her to swallow food properly.
Our veterinarians were willing to try a risky corrective surgery, but since
Aria had so much trouble eating, she was very small for her age and not
yet strong enough for surgery. Her foster parent bottle fed her around the
clock until she was 10 weeks old to get her healthy enough to undergo the
procedure. The surgery was a success and after a few weeks of recovery in her
foster home, Aria was adopted!

Rehome
Adoptions Soar
4,515 animals adopted - up 1,018
In 2014, Kitsap Humane Society found homes for 5,192 animals – 991 more than the previous year! Some were
reclaimed by owners, but most – 4,515 animals in total – were adopted. That’s a whopping 1,018 more adoptions
than in 2013!
KHS is proud of its proactive, progressive adoption program. We practice aggressive adoption outreach, holding
adoption events every weekend, either at the shelter or with our off-site adoption partners all over the Puget
Sound region. In 2014, we expanded the number of locations where we house and adopt out kittens and cats
during our busiest summer months. Our adoptable pets are also promoted online through a variety of channels to
give them as much exposure to potential adopters as possible. Staff and trained volunteers counsel adopters oneon-one to help them find the best match possible, and we provide adoption follow-up to make sure the new pet
is adjusting well. As a result of our efforts, KHS has one of the lowest euthanasia rates among large shelters in the
country – less than 5 percent.
Babe’s Story
Happy Ending
Little Babe the Chihuahua was brought to the shelter as a
stray in April wearing a collar with tags and a tiny sweater.
Unfortunately all of his tags were a dead end. A small, scared
dog, he had a difficult time trusting staff and volunteers and
could barely be handled for the first few days. Luckily, Babe
was able to move out of the kennels and into offices so that
he could be socialized and shown the world wasn’t such a
scary place.
Babe discovered that he loved to play fetch and would
spend hours throwing his own toy and then chasing after
it. After making much progress in the office setting, Babe
went into short-term foster care to learn all about living in
a home. In July, he was finally adopted and quickly became a
beloved family member in his new home in Gig Harbor!

Preventing Homeless Pets
Licensing
Kitsap Humane Society is now the pet licensing agent for Bremerton, the City of Poulsbo and Unincorporated Kitsap
County. In addition to cat and dog licenses, KHS even issues chicken licenses for the city of Bremerton. Licenses get
lost pets home faster, and licensing fees support our life-saving work.
Microchip and Vaccination Clinics
Kitsap Humane Society holds low-cost microchip and vaccination clinics for Kitsap County low-income pet owners
every month. Hundreds of pets and their owners benefited from this service in 2014.
Spay-Neuter Programs
In 2014, Kitsap Humane Society intensified efforts to reduce the number of unwanted and homeless animals
in the county. On the front line of that endeavor, our Veterinary Services Department performed 4,684 spay/
neuter surgeries – 277 more than the previous year! In addition to ensuring all cats and dogs are spayed or
neutered before adoption, KHS provides a low-cost spay/neuter program for about 2,000 low-income pet owners.
Through our Litter Abatement Program, we provide free spay surgery for any female dog or cat whose offspring is
surrendered to the shelter’s adoption program. KHS supports Trap-Neuter-Release (TNR) efforts in Kitsap County by
offering free - and low-cost spay/neuter surgery for outdoor and feral “community cats.”

Fiesta’s Story
It Took a Village
When Fiesta arrived at KHS in July, we knew we had to do what we could
to save her. Only a few months old, Fiesta was a sweet black lab-chow mix
puppy who had been hit by a car and suffered a very severe injury to her front
left leg. Unable to walk and in pain, Fiesta still managed to give a tail wag
and kisses to our medical staff. Fiesta’s leg was completely degloved in the
accident, and required intensive daily care, including frequent bandage
changes, as well as corrective surgery and physical therapy.
As a shelter with a tight budget, this level of medical care puts a strain on
our already limited resources. We put the word out about Fiesta’s situation,
and she was even featured in the Central Kitsap Reporter. Thanks to the
generosity of our donors, the needed funds were raised in record time so that
we could provide Fiesta with the care she needed. Fiesta went through weeks
of treatment and was fully rehabilitated. As soon as she became available,
lucky Fiesta was adopted by a loving family on Bainbridge Island.

KHS’s First Ever Kitty Lounge
Part of finding animals the right home is giving them an
opportunity to show off their fabulous personalities to
potential adopters! In an effort to improve the adoption
experience for cats AND adopters, KHS decided to build its first
ever cage-free, free-roam room, where cats could live stressfree, happy and healthy until they find their new home!
We launched our first ever online crowd funding campaign
in July to make our dream a reality. Over 60 donors helped
us raise the needed funds in less than three weeks.
Volunteers from the Teen Center of the Boys and Girls Club
of South Puget Sound helped us strip and clean a former
office space, and a talented, dedicated volunteer helped
transform the room into an amazing Kitty Lounge. The Kitty
Lounge has its own ventilation system, is able to be fully
disinfected, and has climbing shelves, a cat tree and other
furniture for the cats and visitors to enjoy.
