3 Message from the President: A record 198 dogs rescued, 32 dogs in loving sanctuary homes, new teams of volunteers pulling dogs at even more shelters and all our bills paid off by end of the year. This has been a truly great year and none of it would have been possible without you and your support. Many of the dogs we rescued from hopeless situations and gave them not just hope but medical attention, loving families and a promise that we will always be there if they need us. BJ was pulled from the Harbor shelter in San Pedro. At 1 ½ years old he was already completely blind from cataracts. We asked you to help us give him his sight back and you answered without hesitation. One surgery and six weeks recovery later he was running on the beach with his new mom and dad, chasing the seagulls. Dresden was found wandering the streets in Alta Loma as a stray. No one came forward to claim him but his foster mom thought he was perfect so she adopted him. Now he is repaying her by training to become her service dog. We are very proud of Dresden and the work he does. He is a shining example of what rescue dogs are capable of. Old and sick Caleb could not even lift his head when our volunteer saw him in the kennel at the Fresno shelter. With food, medical care and tons of love we got Caleb back on his feet and adopted him to an amazing family who understands that old dogs still have a lot to offer. Reef was just one more stray dog among hundreds in the Camarillo shelter when we grabbed him. Now he is a very important part of a wonderful family. He goes surfing, hiking, and takes care of the boys. Their lives would not be the same without him. Looking forward to this coming year, at SCCR we are looking for new ways to rescue more dogs than ever. Whether you are a once a year donor, Face Book fan, foster mom or monthly donor you are what makes the work we do possible. We thank you for being an important part of the Second Chance rescue team and helping us save lives, one Cocker Spaniel at a time. Sincerely, Elizabeth Mazzetti, President 3

6 Volunteers We have no paid staff. Our volunteers do all the work and they are amazing. They perform administrative and technical duties. They retrieve cockers from shelters, transport them, aid in their evaluation and medical care, provide temporary homes for them, introduce them to potential adopters at mobile events, conduct home safety checks, and follow up post adoption to ensure all issues are addressed. All our special events are planned and executed by this group of dedicated volunteers. They are committed to our mission of saving cocker spaniels and our success is based on their efforts.

Adoptions and Sanctuary Placements At any one time we have approximately 20-30 adoptable cockers and at least 25 sanctuary cockers in our foster homes.

8 Adoptions and Sanctuary Placements At any one time we have approximately adoptable cockers and at least 25 sanctuary cockers in our foster homes continued the unfortunate trend of increased numbers of dogs in shelters needing rescue. We were able to increase our adoption rate this year by increasing our mobile events in various venues and by using Adopt-a-Pet as well as Petfinder to market our available dogs. Facebook and our blog were used to spotlight particularly critical cases. Year Dogs adopted Dogs In Sanctuary Total to Date Projected for

Programs Adoptions: We mainly pull cockers from the Sacramento, Kern County and other central valley shelters; also San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara and the Ventura county shelter in central California

9 Programs Adoptions: We mainly pull cockers from the Sacramento, Kern County and other central valley shelters; also San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara and the Ventura county shelter in central California as well as shelters in the San Francisco Bay Area and LA county. We will take dogs from other shelters if we have the space. We will also take in owner surrenders if we have open foster homes but dogs at risk take priority. All dogs are temperament tested, given a vet check, micro-chipped, vaccinated, spay/neutered and given any medical care or behavior training needed before the dogs are adopted. This typically runs to the hundreds or thousands of dollars per dog. Adopters fill out an application, have a phone interview, home visit and pay an adoption fee. Sanctuary Program: If we get dog who is 12 years or over or has a severe and chronic medical problem that will make him difficult to adopt out then we will put the dog into our sanctuary program where they will live out their lives in a permanent foster home where we pay for all medical care. Cocker Placement Service: We offer a placement service for people who need to find a new home for their cocker when we don t have an open foster. We require that the dog is spayed or neutered, current on his vaccines and has seen a vet in the last 4 months. We will meet and evaluate the dog. Post his picture on our website, screen the calls and handle the adoption. They must provide a home for the dog while we are looking for an adopter. Events Weekly Adoption Events rotating locations at Petfood Exress and Petco in Sacramento and and Petsmart in Folsom every Saturday. Times and locations are listed on the website.
