Program Description:
<div>Last year, the Humane Society of San Antonio helped nearly 5,000 animals and placed 95% through adoptions, lost and found, and transfers from 33 referring animal welfare groups.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Within the campus facility, centrally located on Fredericksburg Road, we have continued our efforts to protect and inprove the lives of dogs and cats by:</div>
<div> </div>
<div>- Supporting and assisting with animal cruelty cases - we provide assistance to law enforcement agencies, provide temporary housing for some cases, established a reward fund for information leading to the arrest of offenders.</div>
<div>- Companion animal adoptions - over 5,000 annually - we are the #1 pet adoption agency in our community offering healthy, adoptable animals to the community.</div>
<div>- Humane education programs and services to children and adults to teach the ethical treatment of animals and responsible pet ownership</div>
<div>- Reduce the stray animal population through spay/neuter requirements of shelter animals and through outreach spay/neuter programs to low income families and the public</div>
<div>- Lost and found services for help in finding lost community companions</div>
<div>- Rehabilitating injured or stray and unwanted animals who are surrendered to our shelter everyday</div>
<div>- Rescuing of orphaned animals from natural disasters such as hurricanes and tornadoes</div>
<div> </div>
<div>While in our care, the animals receive proper food, bedding and sanitized living space. Some require medical care and rehabilitation as well as socialization and training. When ready for adoption, all of our companion animals have received the required vaccinations and have been spayed or neutered.</div>
Program Long-Term Success:
<div>Our vision is to create a community where every dog and cat is treated with respect and compassion, and has a permanent and loving home. To end pet overpopulation through spay and neuter programs and education.</div>
Program Short-Term Success:
<div>We recently added an in-house spay and neuter surgical suite with a goal of 7 days a week service. Subsidized spay and neuter surgeries are available for low income pet owners. Our goal is 10,000 surgeries annually. </div>
Program Success Monitored by:
<div>We monitor the number of animals rescued and placed. We monitor our no-kill commitment with a live release/save rate which is 95% for 2009.</div>
Program Success Examples:
<div>We took in over 5,000 dogs and cats in 2009. We are committed to saving every adoptable and treatable dog or cat taken into our care.</div>
