Mission
At Animal Samaritans we champion compassion and respect for all living creatures, with a primary focus on dogs, cats, and the people who love them. We view pets not merely as animals, but as members of our families. As their guardians and custodians, it is our aim to reduce the overpopulation and suffering of abandoned and unwanted dogs and cats. We believe pet spaying and neutering is an effective way to achieve this end and we are committed to providing quality, affordable spay and neuter services for pet owners and to our community's largest public animal shelter, Riverside County Animal Shelter in Thousand Palms. We believe adoptable, homeless dogs and cats deserve a chance at life and to live in a loving home, and we support this ideal through animal rescuing, animal sheltering, and pet adoptions. We believe the bond between people and pets is healing, both emotionally and physically, and we provide Animal Companion Therapy (aka Pet Therapy) to residents of local nursing homes, re
Program accomplishments
- Veterinary Clinics: In 2024, our veterinary clinics outperformed services from 2023. Last year we saw approximately 23,332 animal patients, which increased our aggregate number of patients to more than 320,907. Our unique veterinary services in 2024 included: 11,402 Pet Exams; 4,771 Lab Tests; 6,785 Spay & Neuter Surgeries; 5,171 Non-Spay & Neuter Surgeries; 1,085 Dental Services (including dental surgeries); 986 X-rays; 15,503 Vaccinations, and 12,178 non-exam procedures (ear cleanings, anal gland express, nail trims, et al). In 2024, our second year providing ophthalmology services, our specialty team performed 7,569 ophthalmology procedures. Additionally, in year three of our Pet Oncology department, we performed 6,952 procedures on dogs and cats with cancer. Depending on the type, severity, and invasiveness of the disease, our Board-certified doctors provide three primary treatment options: Chemotherapy, Immunotherapy, and Cryotherapy. Animal Samaritans offers several financial aid programs to help pet owners pay for the veterinary care their animals need. These programs include our Animal Care Fund for low-income pet owners, and our Senior Pet Wellness Fund, which subsidizes pet care for senior pet owners on a limited income. In 2024, we provided $156,131 in financial aid assistance to 330 pet owners. As you might expect, the demand for these programs is high. Additionally, our Cade L. Morrow Fund helps cover the costs of medical care for abandoned, abused and homeless animals. In 2024 we provided $8,104 to cover the costs of veterinary services for adoptable homeless animals that may not have survived without this care. After providing life-saving veterinary care, we then adopted out or provided safe haven for these animals. With significant assets coming to our Cade L. Morrow Fund in 2025, we will establish (per the donor's request) the Cade L. Morrow Endowment Fund to ensure veterinary care for homeless and/or abused animals in perpetuity.Expenses $9,180,953
- Shelter and Pet Adoptions: In 2024 our small no-kill animal shelter adopted out 351 homeless animals. Adoptions included 89 dogs (canines six-months and older), 85 puppies, 4 adult cats (one year and older), and 173 kittens. This was an increase of 4 adoptions over 2023.
- Humane Education: Last year we saw more teachers welcoming our Humane Educator back to their classrooms. In 2024, our bi-lingual educator presented state-accredited humane education lesson plans to over 12,000 students in our area Coachella Valley, Desert Sands, and Palm Springs Unified School Districts. Additionally, we provided humane education services to adults at local community events. Our Humane Educator and her volunteers also hosted seven free Summer Critter Camps, primarily for financially disadvantaged students. These camps are for children ages 7 through 12 and focus on the programs core teachings that students learn during the school year. Critter Campers also enjoy interacting with live reptiles, birds, rodents, and dogs, creating animal-themed arts and crafts, and playing animal-themed games.
- Animal Companion Therapy: In 2024, our ACT volunteers and their therapy dogs continued seeing more local residents. Our pet therapy volunteers, their canine ambassadors and our other extraordinary volunteers, numbering 294 individuals in total, logged 9,287 hours of volunteer service - an increase of 8,219 hours over 2023. Some of the locations served include: Atria Senior Assisted Living, Banyan Treatment Center, Brookdale Assisted Living & Memory Care, Destiny Hospice, Neuro Rehabilitation Center, John Glenn Middle School, Palm Springs High School and The Bob Hope USO.
- Animal Rescue: This charitable resource for adoptable, treatable at-risk homeless shelter animals is provided free of charge to the County of Riverside and greater Desert community. In 2024 we rescued 604 animals from Riverside County Animal Shelter in Thousand Palms, an average of 50 animals per month. This was a decrease of 89 animals over 2023 but an achievement none the less.
