abandoned domestic animals that have no other alternative.
to foster compassion for all living things through education.
to reduce pet overpopulation through spay/neuter programs.
to prevent cruelty by enforcing animal protection laws.
Weaving the Threads of Compassion
Like a giant tapestry, Rescue Village has grown into a unique and vital humane society serving the people
and animals of Geauga County and northeast Ohio. Rescue Village saves lives and heals souls. Every year,
our archive of stories grows. Some shine so brightly that they serve as eternal testaments to the
compassion that runs, like a thread, through everything we do.
Rescue Village is a home of sorts—a way station for animals who have been surrendered, abandoned,
abused, injured, or neglected.
The Rescue Village tapestry is made of hearty cloth. You need a durable and professional organization to
establish the direction, programs and services, and financial strength to grow a shelter like this one. You must
have a trained and devoted staff. It takes a willingness to go above and beyond to bring 94 cats into the shelter
and do everything possible to save their lives. Imagine the months it took to take care of them and get every
one possible adopted.
In all, we helped over 4,730 animals in 2013. Love and life-saving by the numbers is woven throughout
this Annual Report. There is a life force in this shelter . . . an unwillingness to give up on a dog who is 14 years
old with medical problems, yet lots of kisses and tail wagging left to go. There are cheers when a cat, hit by a
car, who has lost his sight, captures the heart of a family teaching kids the joy of unconditional love. There are
sounds of delight when a child in our summer camp gets to gently hold kittens and puppies . . . whose
uncertain futures were turned into second chances.
This past year is the story of 30 staff members, 427 volunteers, 18 board members, and 6,477 donors
who embrace a dream of kindness and compassion and were then willing to get their hands dirty, offer their
time, their talents, and their treasure to this special humane society on Chillicothe Road.
Sure, it is all about animals. Yet, it is also about the people—a two-way street and a sharing of love.
In animals we discover loyal companions and our better selves. As we move into the future, expanding and
remodeling Rescue Village, the threads of compassion will grow, saving even more animals, and immeasurably
enriching our lives.
Gratefully,

A Tale of Two Rescues
Rescues involve trained humane agents and
courageous people who dare to go inside
buildings that defy description. They may
have to humanely trap cats who are covered with
fleas and scared of our every move. They may carry
dogs in their arms who need help as soon as possible.
The first stages of an animal seizure are just the
beginning of a long and intense journey to save as
many as possible.
While humane agents and staff are out in the
field, a team is assembled back at the shelter getting
ready for the animals’ arrival. Crates or kennels are
readied. Medical supplies are counted and on hand.
Logistics are planned so that we can keep sick
animals coming in away from healthy animals
already inside the shelter. These are not one or two
day events. It may take months and will surely
test skills, emotions, and team work.
Imagine adding 94 cats and 34 dogs from
two different seizures to an already full shelter.
(An expanded shelter with room to house these
numbers will help.)
Our team is a combination of devoted staff
members and volunteers. Some have had training
from previous seizures or from being deployed to
do disaster pet rescue nationally.
The volunteers who work alongside the staff
have become knowledgeable about many things—
from proper cleaning to safely handling animals.
A deep trust has developed. Together we share will
and woe, mourn every loss, and celebrate every
victory.

Animals Helping People
When you adopt a kitten at Rescue Village,
chances are that she or he spent time with a
foster family. There is nothing like lots of human
touch and care to get a furry little kitten ready for a
new home. The fostering experience is magical and
hard work.
Talk about dedicated—babies that need bottle-
feeding wake up hungry all night long! Building and
coordinating foster networks is a core program at the
shelter. Kittens, puppies, and even adult animals that
may need to medically recuperate, count on people
who open their hearts as well as their homes.
W ho knew? Litters of puppies come to Rescue
Village by the dozens, each one cuter than
the next. Among them, there are superstars in the
making. This year, Rescue Village began partnering
with Miracles of Hope. This unique organization
trains service dogs for people with diabetes.
Our Dog Behavior Coordinator, already skilled at
spotting potential search and rescue dogs, evaluates
pups and makes recommendations. Two Rescue
Village youngsters, Stella and Tank, were the first
pups selected by Miracles of Hope. We wish them
years of love and living life with a purpose.

All Animals Deserve Our Moral Concern
W hat is the smallest animal you have
ever saved at Rescue Village?” he asked.
“Why, a tiny mouse,” we answered.
“What is the largest animal you have ever saved at
the shelter?” he continued. “That would be a horse,”
we offered. At least 14 species of animals have found
shelter and sweet relief at Rescue Village.
Compassion defines our every day work at the
shelter. Sometimes what is needed is softly soothing
a frightened dog whose owner has died. Then there
are times when we have to prosecute people who
violate the law and perpetrate cruelty or neglect.
There are countless actions taken along this
spectrum of compassion because we believe that all
animals deserve our moral concern. Every program
and service we provide flows from our Mission.
Living in a largely rural and agricultural county
and having sole responsibility for enforcing Ohio
humane law statutes, we expanded the scope of our
work. In 2005, the Rescue Village Barn was built.
The value we place on being guardians and
sentries at the gate drives us to protect and help
thousands of animals each year.
Rescue Village Humane Agents, Wendy Grellinger and Christian Courtwright,
are trained, certified, and given authority by the Geauga County court.
We receive no government funding for this essential service.
Lessons of Love
L ife is filled with “teachable moments.” For an
inner city child, a classroom program about
dog safety led to him touching a dog for the
first time in his life. A meeting between an eleven
year old and the sheriff ’s trained German Shepherd
sparked an imaginative conversation about all the
things she did not know animals could do.
Experiential education is what we do best.
A naturalist from the Geauga Park District wowed
kids about wildlife and even let them pet a skunk.
Campers met Beetle and Echo, two horses who
were rescued and up for adoption in our barn.
They got to groom the horses, and learned
about horse anatomy.
Rescue Village held its first interactive pre-school
story time in 2013. Forty pre-schoolers became
characters in a story, Stone Soup, and interacted
with therapy dogs to tell this tale about sharing and
giving to others in need.
We offer the region’s only year-round, large-
scale, humane education program. A visit from our
humane educator, especially with animals, captures
everyone’s attention. We hope that every point of
contact people have with the humane society leaves
them better role models of kindness towards
animals, people, and the environment.

Spaying and neutering animals saves lives.
Rescue Village is a hub for low-cost, high
quality spay/neuter programs in Geauga
County and the Chagrin Valley. Community forums
aim to educate about the benefits of spaying and
neutering our pets and recruit volunteers.
With our first “Fixin’ Frenzy” in 2013, we did a
whopping 53 spay/neuter surgeries in a single day.
Yes, we actually do get excited about this! If each one
of these surgeries prevented even one litter of kittens
or puppies from being born unwanted, we have already
saved hundreds of lives. Think about the impact of
2,679 spay/neuter surgeries through our collage of
spay/neuter programs . . . now, THIS is some kind of
wonderful.
“We, as humans, can control our population and if we care about critters—dogs and cats, who can’t
make decisions for themselves—then we work to spay and neuter as many as possible. There will be
no end to homeless animals unless we are committed to these humane population control programs.
I have seen more and more people coming to understand this and help to make this happen.”
—Brenda Donahue, volunteer with the CatSmart TNR program
Spay/Neuter: A Critical Part of Our Mission
559 Heroes and Heroines
Priceless, compassionate, creative, reliable,
unwavering, inspiring, focused, enthusiastic—
these are just a few of the words which
describe this irreplaceable group of extraordinary
individuals.
It is not surprising that over 100 people come to
the annual volunteer fair, where they get to meet staff
and learn about dozens of opportunities to assist.
Lisa may love dog walking while Loretta enjoys
welcoming the public at the front desk. Trish enjoys
making sure our events are sell-outs. Gary and Jim
keep the building up-to-snuff.
Every person who donates his or her time is
special. For the animals, these humans make their
lives better. It’s not just the cuddling and socializing
or laundry and cleaning. It is everything—including
stuffing envelopes, mucking stalls, and joining the
capital campaign steering committee. To save
animals’ lives takes a willingness to be generous,
hands on, and a team player.
At the end of each day (and volunteers serve
365 days a year), these 559 heroines and heroes are
our partners.

The Rescue Village staff cannot say enough about our volunteer corps
“A highlight of was
launching the ‘Raising
the Roof to Save More
Lives’ capital campaign
for the expansion and
renovation of Rescue
Village. The support has been tremendous.
We started the campaign in the summer of
, and ended the year with over $. million
in pledges—a great accomplishment.
When the doors of the new building open,
we will be rising to a new level of performance,
setting our sights on new accomplishments
with our ever-evolving programs and
activities. Together, we can do this.
Here’s to our continued success!”

Raising the Roof to Save More LivesTHE CAMPAIGN FOR RESCUE VILLAGE
2013 marked an exciting milestone in the history
of Rescue Village. Following a thorough feasibility
study, the Board of Trustees approved a plan to
launch a $3 million capital campaign to expand and
reconfigure the current shelter. We need more space
to serve more animals, save more lives, increase the
number of adoptions, as well as provide additional
operating funds for expanded operations.
The project will reconfigure the existing 10,500
square foot building and add 9,100 square feet of
additional space. A team of staff and volunteers
were engaged to envision the expansion and
reconfiguration of the back of house operations
areas, medical clinic, and support spaces. Ground-
breaking is slated for late spring or summer 2014.
The Leadership Phase began in May 2013
and by the end of the year Rescue Village board
members and leadership donors had committed
over $2.3 million in gifts and pledges. This total
includes a $1.5 million gift from an individual
donor who wishes to remain anonymous at this
time, but whose name will appear on the front of
the building after completion of the project. We are
grateful to all of our leadership donors for providing
early support and enthusiasm for this campaign.
As news of the campaign spreads, we are poised
to welcome thousands of people to help make our
dream come true. For more information, please
