Across the country, shelters saw record-breaking numbers of dogs entering their systems, while adoptions and donations declined to their lowest levels in over a decade. Doggie Protective Services (DPS) felt the weight of these trends deeply. For nearly five months, our Safehouseour primary holding facilitywas closed while we awaited necessary permits. Without that vital space, we were unable to house dogs temporarily while awaiting foster placement. This meant that every intake had to go directly into a foster home, and our rescue model simply wasnt designed for that. Dogs we would normally have been able to help had to be turned away, and we were unable to assist community members in crisis who desperately needed temporary shelter for their pets. Even amid these challenges, we never lost sight of our mission. We continued to do what we do beststep in when others cant, and save lives others might overlook. 0 0 0 One of our most inspiring cases was Roadie, a 4-month-old black Lab who came to us with what was initially believed to be a broken paw. Upon evaluation, we discovered his entire front leg was shattered, every bone in his paw was broken, and the leg had been degloved. His injuries were severe and gruesome, but we refused to give up on him. Roadie underwent five surgeries over nine months before he was finally cleared for adoption. His perseverance and spirit became a beacon of hope for our entire team. Throughout 2024, we also treated more than 30 puppies suffering from parvovirus, a deadly and costly disease. Each case can easily cost thousands of dollars, yet with the skill and dedication of our experienced fosters, we were able to provide both in-home and veterinary care where appropriate. Against the odds, we saved 19 of those puppiesan extraordinary success rate in a disease where fewer than 40% typically survive. In 2024, we also cared for over 75 senior dogs, some of the most medically vulnerable and costly animals we take in. These older dogs often require extensive veterinary care before theyre ready for adoption, but our team is committed to ensuring they live out their golden years in comfort and love. 0 0 0 uring a year when French Bulldogs were being surrendered to shelters in unprecedented numbers, we took in more than 20 of them. Nearly all required medical care. Four had extensive, long-term needs: one underwent double ear ablation surgery, another required six months of specialized ophthalmology care, and two others suffered from severe skin conditions that took eight months of treatment to heal. Beyond rescuing and rehoming, we continued to serve our community in other ways. Through our outreach program, we provided pet food and supplies to unhoused individuals, ensuring that their beloved dogs and cats could remain with them and cared for. Much of this food comes from donations we cant use within our own rescueso rather than letting it go to waste, we redirect it to people and pets in need. We also maintained our youth volunteer program, which continues to thrive. High school students earn community service hours through hands-on volunteer work with our rescuebut most choose to stay on well beyond their required hours. They help at our biweekly Meet & Greet adoption events, engage with the public, and represent the compassion and teamwork our organization stands for. Through their service, these students gain responsibility, time management skills, and a deep understanding of empathy and community care. Even in one of our hardest years, Doggie Protective Services remained steadfast in our mission: to save lives, educate our community, and make a lasting impactone dog, one family, and one act of compassion at a time. 637916 true true false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false 0 0 0 false false false false false false false false false false X 4 4 false false false false false true false true true false false false false false false false false false TERA MCcURRY 6503802007 28032 BENIGNI MENIFEE CA 92585 X MELISSA BROWN PRESIDENT 3.00 X 0 0 0 GLORIA JAEP TREASURER 3.00 X 0 0 0 TERA McCURRY DIRECTOR 6.00 X 0 0 0 HENRY ESCALERA DIRECTOR 5.00 X 0 0 0 false false false 301539 301539 ADOPTIONS 813312 391255 0 0 391255 692794 391255 0 0 1500 0 1500 0 1365 0 1365 0 64456 64456 0 0 SUPPLIES 180124 180124 0 0 VETERNARIANS 228828 228828 0 0 TRANSPORTATION 146622 146622 0 0 BOARDING 10937 10937 0 0 81609 6949 74660 0 715441 637916 77525 0 101224 78577 4500 4500 105724 83077 0 0 X 105724 83077 105724 83077 105724 83077 -22647 X false false false X 0 0 479303 295569 391837 357068 301539 1825316 0 0 0 479303 295569 391837 357068 301539 1825316 0 0 0 1825316 1825316 1.00000 1.00000 0.00000 0.00000 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED SECURITY DEPOSIT 4500 4500 Pt VI, Line 7a ALL OFFICERS SHALL BE ELECTED TO HOLD OFFICE FOR ONE (1) YEAR.
