1 Vice President of Development Denver, CO A Nonprofit Community-Based Animal Welfare Organization Committed to Ending Pet Homelessness and Animal Suffering

2 The Dumb Friends League Mission For over 100 years, the Dumb Friends League has been working to end pet homelessness and animal suffering by providing a strong and steadfast voice for those who cannot speak for themselves. As the largest community-based animal welfare organization in the region, the Dumb Friends League cares for more than 20,000 homeless pets and horses each year at its four facilities and is a national model in animal welfare. The Dumb Friends League is leading the way in compassion through pre-emptive action, prevention, a commitment to no-suffering, and community collaboration. By working with communities, the Dumb Friends League prevents suffering by relying on its neighbors to trust them in reaching out when they cannot provide care, reporting abuse and neglect, and choosing adoption. They are encouraging lifelong veterinary care through regional organizational partnerships and tackling important animal welfare issues alongside an alliance of trusted experts. In creating excellent outcomes in animal welfare, the Dumb Friends League is growing overall community welfare in Denver and beyond. History of Dumb Friends League When the organization was founded in 1910, it was named after a London, England, animal welfare group called Our Dumb Friends League. In those days, the term dumb was widely used to refer to animals because they lacked the power of human speech. Today, the Dumb Friends League, headquartered in Denver, is the largest community-based animal welfare organization in the Rocky Mountain region providing a strong, compassionate and steadfast voice for those who cannot speak for themselves. Each year, the Dumb Friends League welcomes more than 20,000 homeless pets to their two shelters. At their main shelter in southeast Denver and the Buddy Center in Castle Rock, cats, dogs, rabbits and other small pets enjoy the comfort of a nurturing environment in state-ofthe-art facilities. No animals are turned away. In 2012, the Dumb Friends League expanded its mission to include abused and neglected equines. Located in near Franktown, Colorado the Dumb Friends League Harmony Equine Center takes in abused and neglected horses, ponies, mules and donkeys that have been removed from owners by law enforcement authorities. And in 2017, the Dumb Friends League opened its Solutions Cat Spay/Neuter Clinic in Denver, offering fully subsidized (no cost) spay/neuter surgeries for all Colorado cats, regardless of owner income. Remaining at the core of the Dumb Friends League s work is a commitment to community compassion and a partnership to end pet homelessness and animal suffering. 2

3 Opportunities and Challenges The leaders, staff, and volunteers at the Dumb Friends League are devoted to a community-based approach to ending pet homelessness and suffering through a wide range of programs that provide humane care, resources and education to the public about compassion for animals. These programs success depends on partnerships among the Dumb Friends League s many stakeholders and on the development of sustainable funding models. The Leadership Team The Dumb Friends League s staff are experts in animal welfare, and community outreach and education. Highly trained staff provide humane care for lost and relinquished pets. State-commissioned investigators work with law enforcement agencies to protect Colorado s companion animals and horses from mistreatment and neglect. And the entire team works to draw in community support, providing much needed resources and solutions. The challenges involved in animal welfare, both at the Dumb Friends League and throughout the greater community, are becoming increasingly complex. The Dumb Friends League s next VP of Development will be charged with tackling these challenges, working collaboratively with the leadership team in developing and coordinating strategic innovations and solutions in fundraising to support the work of other departments and programs and ensure excellent mission outcomes. Resources & Education The Dumb Friends League s success depends largely on community involvement. By providing resources and education they have built trust in the community around animal care and suffering, and encouraged community members to adopt and stay connected through services that help with pet behavior and training, the utilization of community outreach efforts like mobile spay/neuter clinics, connecting them to subsidized veterinary services for their pets, and providing free educational programs to students in grades K 12 and community groups of all ages combine messages of compassion and respect for animals. Community Partners The Dumb Friends League works with Colorado Veterinary Medical Association in a partnership to encourage lifelong veterinary care for pets, and transfer and placement partners to ensure as many animals as possible find homes. They collaborate with the Metro Denver Animal Welfare Alliance and Colorado Federation of Animal Welfare Agencies to tackle animal welfare issues throughout the region. And they work with a trusting community of individuals in the support of providing continuity, strength and, above all, compassion for our community. 3
