Benefactors unleash donations for phenomenal

***
The year 2003 was another incredible year for
everyone at the SPCA of Texas – both for twoand four-legged creatures. It was a year filled with
numerous challenges and rewards – a year that
ended with us basking in the highest of highs as
we were graciously gifted with a million dollar
donation from the Betty Moroney Norsworthy
Trust, presented by her brother, trustee James
Moroney Jr., for our future new facility. The adoption wing will be
named in memory of
Mrs. Norsworthy. What
a way to end the year!

the path of connecting
people and pets – thus enriching the lives of both –
is shared by our tenacious staff, our most appreciated volunteers and our dedicated board of
directors. But our vision couldn’t happen without people like you who are the key to making
it all possible. Without each one of these elements,
we could not have made the amazing strides that
we did last year. As for me, it is a great privilege
to serve as your board chair for one of the largest
and most well-respected animal welfare organizations in the world.
Yes, 2003 was phenomenal. Our many
accomplishments made a positive impact on the

suites, kitty condos, Chateau Chardonnay, Hairy’s
Room, heartwarming murals and enlarged outdoor exercise runs. All helped foster a healthier
and less stressful environment – and made happier animals. These animals were adopted at a
much faster rate than ever before because of the
change in their environment so that many more
could have their opportunity to shine.
Along with tremendous growth, 2003 was
also a year of change. We said a fond farewell
to our president, Warren Cox, upon his retirement
after leading the SPCA to monumental heights
during his 13 years of dedicated service and leadership. And, shifting to a new direction, which
included finding a new leader to guide us through
this journey, we welcomed Thomas W. Karr, a
former West Point department head and financial
advisor, as interim president of the SPCA to assist
us in our search for our new president and a new
downtown facility.
Because the Texas Department of Transportation
announced that it will re-engineer the downtown
Mixmaster directly through our Dallas property,
we had to start making plans to move to a new
location. Although the course seems rough, and
the timetable is uncertain, we look forward to
funding and building a new, state-of-the-art facility in Dallas to better serve the community.
And speaking of responding to the community, our Rescue and Investigation mission prospered as we voted for, and then watched, new
humane laws against animal cruelty be strengthened and enforced. Heartbreaking cases in which
hundreds of severely abused, diseased, starved
and filthy dogs, cats, and horses – rescued by
the SPCA – turned into heartwarming stories as

The highlights presented here are an unaudited summary of our financial performance. Our full audited accounts will be available upon request once they are completed for 2003. The SPCA of Texas is
a private, 501(c)(3) non-profit animal welfare organization that does not receive funds from the city
of Dallas, state or federal government. Additionally, we are not an affiliate or branch of any other
national organization. We rely solely upon the support of caring individuals, corporations and foundations to bring our programs to the public and to give the animals in our community the care they
deserve. For a copy of our audited financials, call 214-651-9611, Ext. 127.

Both McKinney and The Colony have prospered in 2003, with each adopting more animals

That one wonderful day, the entire campus was

Each year, approximately 8-12 million animals
reach the doors of animal shelters across the country. In the Dallas/Ft. Worth Metroplex alone, it is
estimated that up to 270,000 animals enter shelters each year. As an open door facility, the SPCA
gladly takes in every animal that comes our way.
The SPCA of Texas took in 24,887 animals
in 2003. Of those, Dallas received 10,709 animals, McKinney received 10,394 and The
Colony received 3,784. This includes dogs, puppies, cats, kittens and other types of animals.
And if you wonder what the “other” category is,
it includes chickens, cows, donkeys, ducks,
emus, ferrets, gerbils, goats, guinea pigs, horses, iguanas, mice, ostriches, pigs, rabbits, rats
and snakes – among others.
other agencies, our officers performed 1,177
investigations in 22 different cities in 10 counties, traveling 52,447 miles and answering 13,227
calls. Thanks to our supporters, the Humane Law
Enforcement Department was assisted by
$26,039, more than double from 2002.
These phone calls are often requests for
investigation or rescue because the animals don’t
have water, food, shelter or care. Other calls often
include cruel confinement or abuse concerns.
Most animals investigated or rescued are dogs,
cats, horses and cattle.
The SPCA’s Humane Law Enforcement
and Rescue Services Division also actively participates in the legislative process when proposed legislation impacts animals, inspects
places where animals are used, kept, sold, traded or bartered, and monitors animals used on
movie sets and in television programs in the
Dallas/Ft. Worth area.
On November 16, 2003, the SPCA of Texas transferred
a Bengal tiger cub, found in Frisco, to the Wild Animal
Orphanage in San Antonio. Ozzy is living out the rest

Martin Spay/Neuter Clinic in Dallas and Spay/
Neuter Clinic in McKinney spay or neuter all
adoptable pets before they are placed with their
new families and also offer affordable surgeries
to the public. In 2003, both clinics opened their
doors on weekends as well.
Since the opening of our first clinic in 1976,
we have “fixed” almost 150,000 dogs and cats!
In 2003, the SPCA performed 9,789 spay/neuter
surgeries. Thanks to the Spay and Neuter Club
(SNIP), 394 donations provided $12,012 to help
end the cycle of unwanted dogs and cats for qualified patient spay/neuter surgeries. Also, to help

No littering:
Instituted in 2002, the Perry Rescue Ambulance
Service, which lends a helping paw to the city’s
injured stray animals, is an extension of the
Rescue and Investigations Department. The service is funded through 2006 from a generous grant
from the Phoebe and Russell H. Perry Fund of
the Communities Foundation of Texas, Inc.
In 2003, officers rescued 361 injured stray animals from the streets. The SPCA responds to calls
in Dallas and Dallas County between 8 a.m. and
6 p.m. daily. As other funding becomes available,
the SPCA hopes to expand to a 24-hour service.
The number is 214-651-PETS (214-651-7387).
Once a call is received, officers evaluate the
injured animal and then transport it to one of the
SPCA’s animal care centers, Highland Park
Animal Clinic, or an emergency clinic for treatment. However, because of lack of funding and
medical resources, some animals other than pets
are transported to a wildlife rescue agency.

neutering and micro-chipping all of the SPCA’s
animals. Our mission of increasing the number
of animals arriving, staying for a short period,
and then leaving for a happy and good home
is being reached. We make good use of every
one of your donations of time and financial support. However, your support is needed now
more than ever.
We are on the path toward a new downtown
facility – not just another animal shelter, but a
timeless facility where our helpless critters will
reside in an environment much like their next
home. A colorful, clean, friendly, hotel-type facility that all will be proud of as an integral part of
such a great city.
These grand dreams – to offer the best to people, as well as pets – can only be made possible
by you and by our community. Only together as
a team can we achieve great success.
We must also strive to strengthen our core
programs, thus strengthening our cities and our
communities. These four-legged creatures depend
on us for their survival. And they ask nothing
from us except our love and our care. We must
never forget that as we go forward.
Thank you for trusting and believing in our
organization. We promise to invest your time and
money wisely and to use it to the best of our abilities for the animals. In the coming year, our
Promise Fund Capital Campaign for the new
facility will be launched. Again, we extend our
deepest gratitude for the contribution in memory of Betty Moroney Norsworthy. But it takes a
community to make it happen.
Please share our imminent move with your
friends and business associates and encourage
them to support our capital campaign. Fund drives,
jean days, car washes, garage sales, wish list
drives, benefits and parties, as well as outright
donations, all help the animals, dollar by dollar.
Thank you for supporting the SPCA of Texas.

The year 2003 proved to be another benchmark
for media coverage, with 31 regularly scheduled
donated weekly media spots (valued at $40,000
per week) and an increase in the overall total
amount of scheduled and unscheduled media.
Regularly scheduled media placements for 2003
maintained their estimated value of $2 million
per year, and SPCA spokespersons performed
298 unscheduled media interviews on a variety
of topics from rescue and investigations to
humane education.
The media team continued to make strides
with Spanish-speaking media, developing new
relationships at Hispanic Broadcasting Corp. (now
owned by Univision
Radio), which owns
four of the 11 Hispanic
radio stations in the
Metroplex. New publications, including La

published by Belo, are

running our press

Saturday evening newscast is now in its third year.
In addition, the media department posted
photos and descriptions of 3,800 adoptable animals to its website in 2003, an increase of 26%
over 2002. We also posted 551 VIP animals (those
pets here for more than 30 days) to our site on
www.petfinder.com.
With volunteer support, the media relations
department coordinated the translation of 30 press
releases and 103 pet tips into Spanish, wrote and
edited content for three 16-page issues of Animal
Talk, substituted for SPCA spokespersons during
22 television and radio appearances, served as
SPCA spokespersons or accompanied others for
133 TV and radio appearances, and issued 136
press releases, media advisories and calendar listings – 106 in English and 30 in Spanish.

As the SPCA of Texas prepares to unveil plans
for an innovative, new and potentially 50,000
sq. ft. animal welfare complex on five to eight
acres, the new facility is fast becoming more
than just a vision. The SPCA finds itself at a critical juncture with Project Pegasus Mixmaster
Freeway expected to be approved by the federal highway authority in the third quarter of 2004.
The current home at 362 S. Industrial Blvd. is
about to become a new on-ramp of I-35 by as
early as 2007.
What is an organization to do when every
storage closet has been turned into treatment
wards and offices and even the barn next door has
been turned into storage? Project Pegasus has
made that decision for the SPCA. Leaving behind
the prison-like image of so many shelters, the new
animal welfare complex will incorporate innovative ideas currently tested in the Industrial
Boulevard location renovations and provide
home-like settings for the animals. The primary
focus is to make a healthy and joyous place to
nurture both people and pets.

Animals Transferred to:
With a wonderful $1,000,000 gift granted by
Mr. James Moroney, Jr., trustee for his late sister’s charitable trust, Betty Moroney Norsworthy,
the adoption wing has already been named in her
memory. The CatNip Garden has been named in
memory of John H. Newkirk and the Critter
Fitness Center has been named for Kathryn
Goyne. These gifts have helped the SPCA of
Texas begin the daunting task of raising $5 million or more to purchase land and build a new
facility or renovate an existing building.
We need the help of all our loyal supporters and all the animal lovers in the Metroplex
to make the new animal care complex possible.
Together we must ensure that the crucial work
of the SPCA of Texas continues and that the
investment we make in the new animal welfare
complex produces the desired result – an end to
needless euthanasia and strengthened bonds
between people and pets. We hope you will join
us in making a commitment to compassion. For
a list of naming opportunities or more information, call 214-651-9611, Ext. 127.
The SPCA of Texas provides humane services for
the following municipalities:
City of Anna, City of Celina, City of Frisco,
City of Hackberry, City of Lavon, City of Lowry

At the SPCA of Texas, every tail wags and every
cat purrs for the volunteers. These kind and dedicated pet people spend time working as adoption
counselors, TLC givers, docents, fosters, event
coordinators and in many
other areas for the most
noble of causes: to find
every animal a wonderful
home. Without the volunteers, the SPCA’s programs
for people and pets would
Pedro
not exist.
A volunteer force of 1,100 deeply devoted people, of which 460 were newcomers, gave 36,000
hours in 2003. Based on a minimum wage computation, the monetary value of those hours was
estimated at $384,000. This calculation does not
come close to accurately measuring the value of
our volunteers’ dedication and compassion for the
homeless animals in our care. In addition, community court-appointed service hours totaled 7,132.
Volunteers show love,
dogged determination
Paws, reflect:

Nine lives and counting:
The Moody Medical Annex treats illnesses ranging from kennel cough, upper respiratory and eye
infection, to recovery from minor surgery. Pets
that spend time in the
annex are given medication and are checked
by a veterinarian daily.
Medications cost an
average of $7 a day per
animal, so the SPCA
relies heavily on the
generosity of its supporters to help heal
these sick pets. In 2003,
628 sponsors helped
treat 513 sick pets by giving $81,760. Of those
513 pets, 462 were treated and released, 21 were

We live in a busy world, and the SPCA understands that people often don’t have the time or
opportunity to visit our animal care centers, so
our offsite team takes our animals into the community where the people work, live and play.
Hardly a weekend goes by when we don’t
have an offsite event. This past year, in addition
to our yearly staple locations such as NorthPark
Center, the Galleria, the Dallas Auto Show, Neil
Sperry’s All Garden Show, the St. Patrick’s Day
Parade, Easter at Lee Park, the Dallas Home &
Garden Show and Metroplex-wide PETCO and
PETsMART stores, among others, the SPCA’s offsite department was present at the following new
venues: Grapevine Mills Mall, Stonebriar Center,
the Parks Mall in Arlington, Hulen Mall in Ft.
Worth, Renovation 2003, Southwest Airlines,
Premiere Place office building (Dallas), Viva
Dallas! Latino Expo, Burnett Plaza office building (Ft. Worth), the Oak Cliff Centennial and the
U.S. Dog Agility Competition in Las Colinas.
These venues enable us to find homes for our
needy animals and raise money through donations and merchandise sales. In addition, a store
for SPCA and other pet-friendly merchandise is
now available online at our website.
