D e a r Anim a l L o v ers ,
When you take the helm of an organization, as I did 17 days before the start of fiscal year 2012, you face many challenges and opportunities. The challenges we faced last year led to positive changes and increased opportunities for the organization, and I’m confident that we are now poised to make an even bigger impact than ever before on the world of animal health.

My primary goal last year was to ensure that Morris Animal Foundation was structurally and organizationally sound. In January, we went through a significant reorganization that allowed us to create new positions and more specialized teams. By organizing around distinct audiences for our message, we are bringing in new energy and talent, and we can now better communicate the depth and breadth of the science that we fund to our partners, our donors and the veterinary community. We also undertook a comprehensive look at how we represent our brand. This included updating our logo and our overall look, and developing new ways of communicating with our donors. We hope these changes will help clarify who we are as an organization, will attract new supporters who wish to advance animal health and will help us better tell you about our successes. During this time of change, we have continued to focus on supporting science that will deliver new treatments, cures and preventions. We maintained our four-star rating from Charity Navigator. Morris Animal Foundation raised about $9.4 million in total revenue, including restricted funds, while keeping expenses below budget. While the financial markets weren’t as kind to us as they have been in years past, we are fortunate to be in a strong financial position overall, and the change in our investment pool’s value has not affected the programs and studies we fund. We managed more than 300 studies in 2012, each addressing the health needs of companion animals or wildlife, and we do not see a need to reduce that scope in the near future. In fact, we hope to expand it. In addition, the Foundation launched the Canine Lifetime Health Project, under which the first study is the Golden Retriever Lifetime Study. This study marks the first time Morris Animal Foundation will internally manage a study. It is a huge step for our organization and may well be the most important study ever run in veterinary medicine. We have spent a great deal of time during the past year determining directions that Morris Animal Foundation should go in the future and identifying how we can best advance animal health. With the changes that have occurred in fiscal year 2012 and the support of thousands of people who believe that animals deserve the very best veterinary care, the Foundation is well positioned for growth over the next five years. We are excited and confident about this next phase of the Foundation’s journey—and we ask you to join us.
Judith Needham (Hunt Valley, MD)
This is truly one of the most exciting times in Morris Animal Foundation’s history. I couldn’t be happier to be working with such great teams of staff, trustees, scientists and volunteers who are committed to making a difference in the lives of animals. On behalf of all of us, I thank you for supporting our vision of a world in which all animals are healthy.

Orion’s (above) life was extended thanks to a clinical trial run by Dr. Stuart Helfand at Oregon State University. His study is evaluating a chemotherapy combination that may improve survival for dogs with hemangiosarcoma.
Researchers at the Smithsonian developed the first sperm-freezing technologies for Baird’s tapirs and used the samples to establish a gene bank. This information will help scientists develop assisted reproductive techniques to better manage captive populations of this nearly extinct species.
Dr. Stephen Hines (middle in blue shirt) and his team at Washington State University discovered that immunizing mares may be the most beneficial way to protect foals from fatal pneumonia.
Behind the scenes
Thanks to Dr. Leslie Smith (above) at the University of Wisconsin, veterinarians can provide dogs with more immediate and longer-lasting pain management after surgery.
At Morris Animal Foundation, we believe science has the power to change the world for animals. That’s why we’re so proud to be the global leader in animal health. Day in and day out, we know that our work will make a difference in the lives of animals—today and tomorrow. Captive pandas suffer from gastrointestinal problems and stunted growth, which can lead to premature death. Dr. Andrew Kouba from the Memphis Zoological Society identified the best diet for promoting optimal health in captive pandas.
Cats brought into shelters are often so stressed that they become sick and may be euthanized because of illness or aggressiveness. Thanks to gentling techniques developed in a study by Dr. Clive Phillips and his team at the University of Queensland, Jack (above) and many other cats were adopted into loving homes.

Last year, we had 80 studies come to completion. Here’s a behind-the-scenes look at some of the successes that came from those studies.
Research that benefits animals
Yes, 300. Morris Animal Foundation manages at least that many studies each year. With so many highquality studies, we couldn’t possibly tell you about all of the successes that have come from them, but here are three areas where our investments are making a big difference for animals.
Canine cancer
Feline genetics
In fiscal year 2012 alone, Morris Animal Foundation invested more than $1.1 million toward 16 studies that looked at prevention and treatment of cancer in dogs, including bone cancer, lymphoma, hemangiosarcoma, soft-tissue sarcoma and bladder cancer. One of the biggest highlights for the year was the opening of a tumor tissue bank that now houses 2,000 samples of seven different cancers. Sample collection began in 2007 with a lead gift from Pfizer Animal Health and donations from Morris Animal Foundation and the AKC-Canine Health Foundation. These samples are now available for cancer researchers worldwide to use to study cancer. Other studies that were completed last year brought researchers closer to identifying potential new treatments and moving toward cures for lymphoma, bone cancer, hemangiosarcoma and leukemia.
Information about genetic diseases in cats lags far behind that available for dogs. That’s why we’ve worked to provide new tools for researchers studying feline genomics. Previously, Morris Animal Foundation helped further develop a genetic tool, called a SNP (single-nucleotide polymorphism) chip, that scientists could use to discover genetic mutations and predispositions to feline diseases. Last year, the Foundation provided these chips, and in some cases funding, to 29 researchers who are using them to further develop the feline genome and to study a host of feline diseases. Diseases being looked at include hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, polycystic kidney disease, feline infectious peritonitis, cancer and various muscle and eye disorders. All of these diseases may have a genetic component, and we aim to help scientists figure out the triggers so they can be prevented.
Infectious diseases in wildlife We may not think about the smaller species that have a huge impact on our world, such as bats and frogs, but these animals play critical roles in our ecosystems, and their populations are being devastated by fungal diseases. Chytridiomycosis, which is caused by a fungus, has caused the decline or extinction of hundreds of frog species worldwide since its emergence in the 1960s. Foundationfunded teams hope to identify resistant genes, which would help researchers select immune frogs for captive breeding and successful reintroduction, screen populations to predict their risk of decline and develop targeted vaccines. Another team hopes to determine whether beneficial bacteria that live
on amphibian skin might be used as a probiotic treatment to prevent fungal infections. White-nose syndrome is an emerging disease that has rapidly killed millions of bats in the northeastern United States. Whitenose syndrome is linked to a cold-loving fungus and is thought to be transmitted from bat to bat. Researchers are surveying the genetic diversity of little brown myotis populations at swarming sites and near hibernation locations used in fall and winter to learn how these bats disperse. They will then use the data to predict the bats’ migration routes and identify other bat populations at risk for the disease.

Training veterinary students to become animal health scientists has been a critical component of Morris
He once said, “The most important element in veterinary research is people, and the foundation can make its greatest contribution to veterinary medicine by providing opportunities for students to become skilled in veterinary research.”
“The canine stem cell project afforded me the opportunity to get involved in cutting-edge research that had exceptional translational potential,” Dr. Frantz says. “These exciting results, in combination with my evolving knowledge of veterinary medicine, motivated me to continue in translational research.”
Over the years, hundreds, and perhaps thousands, of veterinary students have received research training by working on a Morris Animal Foundation grant. In 2005, the Foundation launched three programs—Veterinary Student Scholars (VSS), Fellowship Training and First Award—specifically designed to help aspiring researchers build a career path in animal health. In 2009, we partnered to create the Pfizer Animal Health–Morris Animal Foundation Veterinary Fellowships, which provide four years of living expenses and tuition for recipients wishing to pursue advanced veterinary study.
Dr. Frantz is now completing a dual-degree DVM/PhD program at the University of Minnesota. Thanks to his successful VSS project, he received one of Morris Animal Foundation’s Fellowship Training Grants. The grant paid for two years of his PhD research and gave him the opportunity to work with two of the top cancer researchers in the country.
T r a i n i n g at a g l a n c e
Dr. Frantz has presented portions of his research at national conferences, and his initial successes led to a doctoral dissertation fellowship through a university-wide competition that supports only the most promising and outstanding graduate fellows.

There is no doubt that these promising researchers will change the course of veterinary medicine— and Morris Animal Foundation is proud to have played a part in getting them started.
Committed to training new scientists
Animal Foundation’s mission from the outset. Dr. Mark Morris Sr. believed that veterinary medicine can be no better than the research available and that qualified researchers are essential.
These programs help students and veterinarians to further their careers in research. One such student is Dr. Aric Frantz, one of the first recipients of a VSS grant. His project encouraged him to continue a career in animal health research.
Morris Animal Foundation’s training programs have allowed Aric Frantz (middle) to work with two renowned cancer researchers, Timothy O’Brien (left) and Jaime Modiano (right).

Invested in research to change the future
Hannah Rose was a remarkable Golden Retriever who was diagnosed with hemangiosarcoma at the age of 12. The tumor on her spleen was so large that doctors at the University of Illinois gave her little chance of surviving surgery, yet somehow she did and lived an additional three years.
“Hannah was lucky in that we had access to the great staff at the University of Illinois and that we were able to afford to give her the chance at defeating her cancer,” says owner Jan DeBoeuf-Borders. “She was given new treatments that were just beginning to be tried on dogs.” Hannah and Lily-Bee, the family’s second Golden Retriever, who died of a sudden acute cardiac arrhythmia, are the reasons Jan enrolled Pippa-Lily and Gertie-Bee in Morris Animal Foundation’s Golden Retriever Lifetime Study. The study, part of the Foundation’s Canine Lifetime Health Project, is the largest and longest observational study ever conducted in veterinary medicine. “When I learned of the Golden Retriever Lifetime Study, I really wanted our little girls to be a part of it,” Jan says. “Maybe Gertie and Pippa’s participation could contribute to finding a cure for cancer in Goldens. I am hopeful that someday there will be a way of preventing what happened to our Lily-Bee, too.” The Canine Lifetime Health Project is a new path toward fulfilling Morris Animal Foundation’s mission. It marks the first time Morris Animal Foundation is doing more than providing funding for a study; we have a team of people dedicated to managing the study and analyzing the data.
“
The Golden Retriever Lifetime Study is a huge step for our organization. The data from this study will significantly change veterinary medicine for dogs. David Haworth, DVM, PhD Foundation president and CEO
We invited 51 dogs to participate in the pilot phase of the Golden Retriever Lifetime Study, which launched last May. The application process opened up in August, and recruitment has been steady. The goal is to enroll 3,000 Golden Retrievers under the age of 2 within the next two years. Dogs will participate in the study their entire lives, and their owners and veterinarians will provide observational data and biological samples that will help scientists identify risk factors for cancer and other canine diseases. Jan DeBoeuf-Borders, Jeff Borders and Emma-Rose (middle) enjoy the beach with Gertie-Bee (left) and Pippa-Lily (right), whose participation in the Golden Retriever Lifetime Study will help Morris Animal Foundation identify risk factors for canine cancer.
