Dear Friends of Peggy Adams,<br />
Reflecting on <strong>2021</strong>, it is clear we would not be where we are today without the tremendous<br />
support of our community and friends like you. We have such gratitude for all the loyal<br />
champions of Peggy Adams Animal Rescue League.<br />
In <strong>2021</strong>, we celebrated 96 years of service to the community and to the lost, homeless,<br />
neglected, and abused animals needing our care. Last year alone, more than 34,000 dogs<br />
and cats directly benefited from our programs and services. Over 13,600 animals received<br />
spay/neuter services and an additional 5,249 animals received medical services at no cost<br />
to the community through grant funding.<br />
Peggy’s Pantry Pet Food Bank fed more than 9,300 dogs and cats last year which totaled over<br />
173,000 pounds of food! We can’t thank our supporters enough for donating much needed<br />
items from our Wish List which enabled us to help feed these pets who might have otherwise<br />
had to be surrendered to local shelters like ours.<br />
It was also a monumental year for Peggy Adams when the doors of our much-anticipated Lesly<br />
S. Smith Pet Adoption Center opened to the public in April. We thank everyone who made this<br />
possible. And because of you – <strong>2021</strong> was also a record-breaking year for Peggy Adams with<br />
6,639 pets placed into new, loving homes!<br />
I hope you enjoy reading through the pages of this <strong>2021</strong> <strong>Impact</strong> <strong>Report</strong> and seeing the<br />
incredible difference you made. Please accept our sincerest gratitude and take great pride<br />
in the impact you are making through your caring support of Peggy Adams Animal Rescue<br />
League.<br />
TOGETHER…we are saving lives and building a more humane community.<br />
With compassion for the animals,<br />

MISSION DRIVEN<br />
Saving Sandy - A Dolly’s Dream Dog<br />
The team at Peggy Adams Animal Rescue League ensures that every animal is<br />
well cared for and loved throughout their stay in our shelter. While the average<br />
length of stay for adopted animals is 30 days, some animals, like Sandy, are<br />
with us longer than others, and the effort to find a forever home never weakens.<br />
We celebrate our long timers. Sandy’s story is all of their stories.<br />
The Dolly’s Dream project was created to rescue,<br />
rehome, and one day help restore the image of all<br />
“square head” bully breed type dogs. Peggy Adams<br />
Animal Rescue League finds homes and new families<br />
for hundreds of these dogs each year. These mixed<br />
breed dogs are now one of the most popular and<br />
most beloved dogs in America, and we are grateful<br />
for the support of Dolly’s Dream that provides for their<br />
waived adoption fees and benefits for adopters.<br />

BIGGEST<br />
ADOPTION<br />
YEAR EVER!<br />
Lesly S. Smith Pet Adoption Center Opens<br />
ADOPTIONS<br />
Since opening on April 1, <strong>2021</strong>, the Lesly S. Smith Pet Adoption Center has become a cornerstone on the Peggy Adams campus. Thanks<br />
to the remarkable support of our Homeless No More capital campaign contributors, the new building provides state of the art space to<br />
shelter dogs and cats while they await their forever homes. Last year, the increased in space allowed us to take in more homeless and<br />
surrendered animals and experience our biggest adoption year ever. The Homeless No More Campaign raised over $18 million from<br />
dedicated donors who saw the need for expansion.<br />
Joining Forces in the Face<br />
of Natural Disasters<br />
In <strong>2021</strong> Peggy Adams, alongside fellow rescue groups,<br />
stepped in for animals at risk due to severe weather events<br />
in the U.S. In March, after winter storm Uri impacted Texas<br />
with freezing temperatures and power outages, we led the effort<br />
to rescue 70 dogs from the Austin area, 53 of which received<br />
medical care at Peggy Adams prior to being adopted. In Cover Girl Lucky<br />
September, we worked with the Florida Association Adopted: October 13,<strong>2021</strong><br />
of Animal Welfare Organizations to rescue 270 dogs from Hurricane Ida Rescue<br />
Louisiana and Mississippi, like Lucky, who were displaced by the<br />
devastation caused by Hurricane Ida. Peggy Adams was one<br />
of twelve rescue organizations who received dogs for care and adoption.<br />
We are grateful to our donors who have afforded us to have the space and resources that<br />
allow us to answer the call when homeless animals and our fellow rescue organizations<br />
are in need.<br />

MISSION MOMENTS<br />
FINDING QUALITY HOMES<br />
Olivia<br />
In November <strong>2021</strong>, Olivia was found outside a home injured<br />
and alone. She was dirty and had a traumatic injury to her<br />
right leg, leaving a bone exposed. The limb was injured<br />
beyond saving; Olivia’s right paw was amputated after her<br />
arrival at Palm Beach County Animal Care & Control and<br />
she was transferred to Peggy Adams Animal Rescue League<br />
for much-needed recovery, TLC, and medical care.<br />
After time spent being cared for by our team, Olivia’s<br />
upbeat and charming personality started to blossom. She<br />
was chosen to attend the annual music festival, Bark Back<br />
Benefit, in hopes of finding a forever home.<br />
Sure enough, she had a potential adopter<br />
anxiously waiting to meet her.<br />
Her adopter, Jenna, shares her experience<br />
meeting Olivia: “The night before Bark<br />
Back I saw a collage of the dogs that were<br />
needing adoption and I immediately was<br />
drawn to Olivia. When I saw and met<br />
her, I loved her and I felt a bond I can’t<br />
describe. She seemed to be comfortable<br />
with me right away, and since the day we<br />
adopted her she’s always by my side. She<br />
is so loving towards everyone, she likes to<br />
cuddle and gives hugs.”<br />
Olivia<br />
Adopted:November 21,<strong>2021</strong><br />
Feodor<br />
Feodor, found as an ill and outdoor cat,<br />
entered our Fospice program due to being<br />
diabetic and positive for FIV (Feline<br />
Immunodeficiency Virus). He was with us<br />
for 150+ days before being adopted and<br />
ADORED by a college student. Feodor is<br />
now receiving royal treatment. Feodor’s<br />
charming new life is documented on his<br />
official Instagram page “life of feodor”<br />
and is followed by 134 adoring fans!<br />

and animal care specialists provide for the overall<br />
health and wellness of our shelter and foster dogs and<br />
cats, including those needing special care for illness or<br />
injury. In addition, through private grant funding and the<br />
generosity of donors, we are able to offer programs that<br />
help community pet owners with reduced cost general<br />
wellness exams, vaccinations, spay and neuter surgeries,<br />
and end of life care.<br />
If needed, shelter animals are able to receive treatment from<br />
an outside veterinary specialist for life threatening injuries<br />
thanks to the support of donors who give to “Olivia’s Fund.”<br />
In <strong>2021</strong>, 27 animals received the surgery needed by a<br />
specialist and were given a new chance for a happy life. To<br />

In December <strong>2021</strong>, Hemi showed up on Karen’s back porch limping and not able to walk<br />
on his hind leg. She brought him to Peggy Adams for care. In addition to broken bones,<br />
Peggy Adams’ medical team found Hemi suffering from a skin disease, ear mites, an<br />
infected wound, and lice. “I thought that I would let him get the care he needed and get<br />
adopted to a new family. A week later, I caught his brother and returned to Peggy Adams<br />
with him. I asked how Hemi was doing and found out that the doctors at Peggy Adams<br />
had to amputate Hemi’s back leg since it had multiple fractures. At that point I decided<br />
to adopt him myself. I have a family of rescue cats, and some have disabilities or other<br />
deformities. It gives me extreme joy to watch Hemi grow and live on even though he is a<br />
tripod. I love this little boy - thank you for everything you did for Hemi!”<br />

Sonny<br />
SONNY<br />
Adopted: June 27, <strong>2021</strong><br />
Sonny came to Peggy Adams Animal Rescue<br />
League after being dropped off at a local<br />
emergency clinic in April <strong>2021</strong>. The ER clinic<br />
knew he was injured and that Peggy Adams<br />
would be able to give him the best chance at<br />
getting better. Sonny was limping and x-rays<br />
showed he had a femoral fracture.<br />
The surgery he needed is called a femoral head<br />
ostectomy (FHO) and it is not a surgery that<br />
had been performed at Peggy Adams before.<br />
With the help of one of the the University of<br />
Florida shelter medicine interns, we were able to<br />
remove the broken femoral head so Sonny can<br />
be comfortable again while walking. When we<br />
anesthetized Sonny for surgery, he vomited a<br />
large piece of what appeared to be leather so<br />
we had to take x-rays of his abdomen to see if<br />
there was more.<br />
The x-rays revealed that his stomach was full of<br />
something that shouldn’t be there. Two days after<br />
his FHO, Sonny had a gastrotomy performed<br />
solely by our 2 UF interns. They pulled out<br />
multiple pieces of hard fake leather. Sonny<br />
recovered very well and his new owner is being<br />
careful that he doesn’t eat anything else that he<br />
shouldn’t.<br />

SAFETY NET<br />
The bond between people and animals should not be broken or torn<br />
apart due to financial setbacks. To prevent pets being separated<br />
from their families, Peggy Adams Animal Rescue League has<br />
established the Safety Net program. The program encompasses<br />
key elements to assist pet owners with feeding and caring for their<br />
furry family member, with the ultimate goal of keeping pets in their<br />
homes rather than surrendering them to a shelter.<br />
Behavior and Training<br />
Pets with behavioral issues are often<br />
surrendered when an owner is overwhelmed.<br />
Peggy Adams Behavior and Training<br />
program provides free support to handle<br />
behavior issues that can be corrected and<br />
gives owners the tools to work with their pets<br />
and keep them at home.<br />
Peggy’s Pantry<br />
Through pet food and cat litter donations<br />
from the community and suppliers, Peggy’s<br />
Pantry helps owners who may be faced<br />
with financial hardship. In addition to the<br />
pantry on our campus, our team transports<br />
over 10,000 pounds of donated pet food<br />
to the Belle Glade community every month.<br />
Medical Assistance<br />
Medical assistance is provided at a reduced<br />
cost so that animals receive needed care<br />
regardless of their owner’s ability to pay.<br />
Through grant funding in <strong>2021</strong>, 5,249<br />
dogs and cats were spayed or neutered,<br />
vaccinated, and microchipped at no cost<br />
to the community.<br />

Riri<br />
Shortly after giving birth to her puppies, Riri became very ill, not able to nurse and<br />
running a high fever. Her owner tried two other veterinary practices but realized<br />
she would not be able to afford the necessary care. She brought Riri and the puppies<br />
to Peggy Adams and we immediately started Riri on IV fluids, strong antibiotics<br />
and cool compresses for her mastitis. After healing for four weeks, Riri was spayed<br />
and reunited with her thrilled owner. The puppies went to a foster home and once<br />
healthy and old enough, were spayed and neutered and shortly after, adopted.<br />

Oreo’s owners didn’t know what to do when they realized she got out and was<br />
hanging on a fence by her leg. They did not have the means to afford medical<br />
care and thankfully brought Oreo to Peggy Adams where our veterinary team<br />
worked to address her injuries. The team treated a deep wound on her back<br />
leg and found her jaw was fractured. We contacted a veterinary dentist who<br />
recommended a new procedure using buttons to relieve tension and allow the<br />
jaw to heal. Our veterinary team successfully wired Oreo’s jaw parrtially shut<br />
and, over the course of 5 weeks, she not only healed, but learned to eat despite<br />
the sutures. Although her leg injury was severe and needed to be amputated,<br />
Oreo thrived and, after an additional dental surgery after the buttons were<br />
removed, she happily went back home with her grateful owners.<br />

FOSTER CARE<br />
We salute our foster families!<br />
Foster homes help Peggy Adams Animal<br />
Rescue League save more animals by<br />
freeing up space in our shelter. Foster<br />
parents are incredibly important because<br />
they typically care for animals that would<br />
benefit from not being in the shelter,<br />
including kittens and puppies too young for<br />
adoption and animals with a medical or<br />
behavioral condition that is best addressed<br />
in a home setting.<br />
Radar<br />
Adopted: May 7, <strong>2021</strong><br />
For a while we were<br />
worried he wouldn’t make<br />
it to adoption, but he<br />
eventually made it to an<br />
amazing home where he<br />
lived out his remaining<br />
days in luxury. This is proof<br />
of fostering saving lives.”<br />

MISSION MOMENT<br />
TO CARE FOR, PROTECT, AND FIND QUALITY HOMES<br />
Radar was a puppy at Peggy Adams several<br />
years ago. His adopter gave him a loving<br />
home for ten years. In <strong>2021</strong>, Radar was<br />
surrendered back to us due to his extensive<br />
health and medical needs. At 10 years<br />
old, Radar was blind, underweight<br />
and his glucose numbers were<br />
skyrocketing. Our veterinary<br />
team provided Radar with<br />
the care and treatment, but<br />
he needed to be in a stable<br />
home to regulate his diabetes.<br />
Our Adoptions Coordinator,<br />
Adam, and his girlfriend knew<br />
that Radar needed to be in a<br />
home and agreed to be his foster<br />
parents until a forever home could be<br />
found. They gave him love and care along<br />
with insulin injections twice a day. In his foster<br />
home, Radar gained weight and responded to<br />
the medication.<br />
Radar<br />
Samantha saw Radar on the Peggy Adams<br />
website and arranged to meet him. She<br />
adopted Radar and provided him with the<br />
special care he needed, as well as<br />
travel and adventure. A great<br />
companion and friend, he<br />
went everywhere with<br />
Samantha and provided<br />
comfort for her as well<br />
as her elderly father.<br />
While reflecting on<br />
Samantha and Radar,<br />
Adam said, “for a while<br />
we were worried he<br />
wouldn’t make it to adoption,<br />
but he eventually made it to an<br />
amazing home where he lived out his<br />
remaining days in luxury.” He added, “This is<br />
proof of fostering saving lives.”<br />

Kittens less than four weeks old have no chance of survival if<br />
separated from their mothers, and during “kitten season” in the spring<br />
and summer many abandoned kittens are found in our communities.<br />
Peggy Adams Animal Rescue League opened its Kitten ICU and<br />
Nursery in 2016 to provide a revolutionary approach to saving the<br />
lives of newborn kittens: 24-hour care. In <strong>2021</strong>, staff and volunteers<br />
bottle-fed and tended to 381 kittens in our Kitten Nursery until they<br />
were able to eat independently and be placed for adoption. This<br />
critical care helps us to achieve the goal of saving the lives of all<br />
adoptable pets in Palm Beach County. Since its inception, the Kitten<br />
Intensive Care Unit and Nursery at Peggy Adams Animal Rescue<br />
League has made an impact on the lives of over 3,149 kittens.<br />
There are so many rewarding things about fostering.<br />
Knowing that not only have you saved the lives of these kittens,<br />
but the lives of even more because of the space in the shelter<br />
that is freed up when you take kittens home.<br />

HUMANE EDUCATION<br />
Thanks to our donors and the Lesly S. Smith Pet Adoption Center<br />
facility, our Humane Education program is growing by leaps and<br />
bounds! Over 3,800 children and their families engaged with inperson<br />
and virtual programming in <strong>2021</strong>, learning about ways<br />
to interact with animals to grow mutual respect. Thanks to our<br />
volunteers and their Dog Ambassadors for their participation,<br />
and to everyone who read a book, made an enrichment treat,<br />
or raised money with a project. It all helps our shelter animals<br />
feel loved while they are with us and better prepares them for<br />
their new adoptive homes. Volunteer Linda Laverty shares, “As<br />
a former classroom teacher and specialist for the Palm Beach<br />
County School District, I have been impressed with the innovative<br />
programs initiated by Peggy Adams, initiatives that nurture<br />
empathy towards and knowledge of dog and cat behaviors.”<br />
It’s hard to find<br />
places where little<br />
kids can volunteer,<br />
so we were thrilled<br />
to find Rescue<br />
Readers. To know<br />
that we’re part<br />
of (the animals’)<br />
journey brings us<br />
joy and purpose.”<br />

Rescue Readers - Bonding over Books<br />
What do you get when you combine shelter<br />
animals in need of social interaction with young<br />
readers? Rescue Readers! This creative<br />
Humane Education program was launched<br />
in <strong>2021</strong> and in 5 months hosted 92 schoolaged<br />
children who came and read to our<br />
animals. The future family pets benefitted from<br />
the attention and the children got to practice<br />
reading aloud to a loving, non-judgmental<br />
audience, and spent 541 hours doing it! The<br />
gentleness shown by the children while interacting<br />
was beautiful to watch and is a testament to the creative<br />
ways we are building bonds between humans and animals.<br />

Anderson commented “We wish we could have celebrated this<br />

Young Friends of Peggy Adams<br />
Party Animal Gala<br />
On April 24, <strong>2021</strong>, The Young Friends of Peggy<br />
Adams hosted its 2nd Party Animal Gala at the<br />
Henry Morrison Flagler Museum in Palm Beach. Led<br />
by co-chairs Stacey Leuliette and Molly & Nick Mele,<br />
over 100 animal-themed, black-tie attired supporters<br />
celebrated a night of fun and fundraising in support<br />
of the mission of Peggy Adams. And that night, one<br />
of the tail-wagging greeters from the shelter did<br />
find her forever home! We are grateful for this<br />
next generation of philanthropists who are<br />
stepping up and stepping out in support of<br />
animals in need. Their generosity is recognized<br />
on the Young Friends Dog Adoption Room in the<br />
Lesly S. Smith Pet Adoption Center.<br />

period of time. Thanks to a Virtual Kick-Off Celebration, live and filmed<br />
videos posted on social media, and a Virtual Adoption Village website,<br />

County. In 2013 we were informed of a<br />
bequest from the estate of Eunice J. Gardiner, a<br />
devoted lover of animals. Prior to her passing,<br />
Mrs. Gardiner established a planned gift to aid<br />
the lost, abandoned, and injured animals in our<br />
community. Peggy Adams now receives over<br />
two million dollars each year from this perpetual<br />
trust which ensures that our life saving work will<br />
continue for generations to come. In recognition<br />
of Mrs. Gardiner’s vision and generosity, our<br />
13.5-acre campus has been renamed The<br />
Eunice J. Gardiner Campus.<br />
Including Peggy Adams Animal Rescue League<br />
in your will, trust, or other estate plan is one of<br />
the most meaningful ways to save animals lives<br />
for years to come. We appreciate the thoughtful<br />
intentions of our Forever Friends. All gifts to our<br />
organization will benefit the animals we serve<br />
each and every day.<br />

In January <strong>2021</strong>, Peggy Adams Animal<br />
Rescue League welcomed the first Peace of<br />
Mind enrollee to our shelter after his owner<br />
passed away. More than four years earlier,<br />
before she ever became ill, Mr. Monk’s owner<br />
had enrolled her pet in Peggy Adams’ Peace<br />
of Mind program.<br />
Two days after his arrival, Mr. Monk was<br />
adopted into a new, loving home with an<br />
experienced owner who had been looking for<br />
a dog just like him. She wrote, “Peggy Adams<br />
was wonderful in all aspects of stewarding his<br />
adoption and settling him into his new home.<br />
He arrived with several of his previous comfort<br />
toys and a bed as well as a leash, crate, all<br />
his shots and two bags of food to start him off.<br />
Peggy Adams was very helpful in providing all<br />
Forever Friends are those who have notified us<br />
of their established legacy gift through a bequest<br />
or trust, or through a life insurance policy,<br />
retirement account, or charitable gift annuity.<br />
PEACE OF MIND<br />
First Peace of Mind Program Pet Placed<br />
the arrangements and information regarding<br />
his history and guidance for continued support<br />
and coordination with Peggy Adams... It was<br />
an honor to be the first participant in the Peace<br />
of Mind program and entrusted to give a safe<br />
and happy home to Mr. Monk.”<br />
Peggy Adams Animal Rescue League<br />
developed the Peace of Mind program after<br />
receiving numerous inquiries from dog and<br />
cat owners concerned about their pets’ futures<br />
and after seeing many animals arrive at the<br />
shelter orphaned by the loss of their owners.<br />
Through an estate gift designated solely for<br />
the Peace of Mind program, pet owners can<br />
be assured that their dog or cat will continue<br />
to receive loving, compassionate care if they<br />
outlive their owner.<br />
