TO TRANSFORM THE LIVES OF PETS AND PEOPLE THROUGH PROTECTION, CARE, EDUCATION AND ADOPTION.
SHELTERING, CARE AND ADOPTION: BETWEEN JULY 2019 AND JUNE 2020, THE SPCA OF WAKE COUNTY TOOK IN A TOTAL OF 3,954 HOMELESS PETS. A COMMITMENT TO COLLABORATION BETWEEN SPCA WAKE AND AREA ANIMAL SHELTERS CREATED A LIFESAVING SHELTER TRANSFER PROGRAM, AND 2,847 PETS WERE TRANSFERRED FROM PARTNER SHELTERS INTO SPCA WAKE'S CARE DURING FY20. THESE TRANSFERRED PETS REDUCE SHELTER PET EUTHANASIA REGIONALLY AND POSITIVELY IMPACT EACH SHELTER'S CAPACITY FOR CARE. DIVERSION PROGRAM: AN ADDITIONAL 1,107 PETS WERE TAKEN IN FROM INDIVIDUALS TO PREVENT THOSE PETS FROM ENTERING THE ALREADY OVERBURDENED ANIMAL SHELTER SYSTEM.A ROBUST FOSTER CARE PROGRAM ALLOWS SPCA WAKE TO RESPOND QUICKLY TO EMERGENCY PET INTAKE NEEDS, WHETHER FROM PARTNER SHELTERS OR DISASTER RELIEF EFFORTS. APPROXIMATELY 1/3 OF ALL INCOMING ANIMALS ARE CARED FOR IN A VOLUNTEER FOSTER HOME FOR A BRIEF TIME.SPCA WAKE'S VETERINARY AND BEHAVIOR RESOURCES MAKE IT ONE OF THE FEW SHELTERS IN NC THAT CAN TREAT AND REHABILITATE A LARGE VOLUME OF SICK, INJURED OR BEHAVIORALLY CHALLENGED PETS. THIS SAFETY NET PROGRAM IS ESPECIALLY HELPFUL IN ELIMINATING EUTHANASIA AS THE ONLY OPTION FOR INJURED PETS AT AREA SHELTER PARTNERS OPERATING WITH LIMITED RESOURCES. INNOVATIVE ADOPTION PROGRAMMING REHOMED 3,905 PETS IN FY20, BOOSTING SPCA WAKE'S LIVE RELEASE RATE TO 98.76%. SPCA WAKE WILL NEVER EUTHANIZE A PET DUE TO LACK OF SPACE AND IS COMMITTED TO SAVING EVERY ANIMAL TAKEN IN. SPCA WAKE ONLY EUTHANIZES PETS THAT ARE TOO ILL OR TOO BEHAVIORALLY UNSOUND TO BE REHABILITATED AND ADOPTED. MATCHING LOVING FAMILIES WITH SHELTER PETS IS THE HEART OF WHAT SPCA WAKE DOES DAILY.
PREVENTION & SPAY/NEUTER: PREVENTING UNWANTED PETS FROM BEING BORN IS THE MOST EFFECTIVE AND MOST HUMANE METHOD OF DECREASING THE OVERWHELMING NUMBERS OF HOMELESS PETS ENTERING AREA ANIMAL SHELTERS. IN FY20 SPCA WAKE SPAY/NEUTER PROGRAMS EFFECTIVELY IMPACTED THREE KEY AREAS OF NEED. THE SAVING LIVES SPAY/NEUTER CLINIC ENABLES SPCA WAKE TO TRANSFER THOUSANDS OF UNSTERILIZED ANIMALS FROM SURROUNDING RURAL SHELTERS WHO HAVE FEW SPAY/NEUTER RESOURCES. THOSE PETS ARE ADOPTED THROUGH THE SPCA, FREEING SHELTER PARTNERS TO USE LIMITED RESOURCES FOR REMAINING ANIMALS. DOZENS OF AREA ANIMAL RESCUE GROUPS ALSO EFFECTIVELY UTILIZE THIS LOW-COST SPAY/NEUTER OPTION AND TAKE ANIMALS BACK INTO THEIR CARE FOR ADOPTION. IT'S ESTIMATED THAT 80% OF PET OVERPOPULATION COMES FROM 3% OF THE PET-OWNING FAMILIES WHO CANNOT AFFORD THE ONE-TIME COST OF SPAY/NEUTER. THE LOW-COST PRICE POINT ENABLES THOUSANDS OF FAMILIES TO ACCESS THIS VITAL SERVICE. SPCA WAKE ALSO PARTNERS WITH 20 VETERINARY PRACTICES IN THE COMMUNITY TO PROVIDE VOUCHER-DISCOUNTS FOR SPAY/NEUTER SURGERY AT THOSE PARTICIPATING HOSPITALS. SPCA WAKE FACILITATES AROUND 6,000 SURGERIES EACH YEAR.
COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT: COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT AND EDUCATION ARE THE FOUNDATIONS FOR LASTING CHANGE FOR ANIMALS. THE LARGE NUMBER OF PETS EUTHANIZED IN AREA SHELTERS IS A SYMPTOM OF BIGGER ISSUE: A LACK OF THE RESOURCES NECESSARY TO KEEP PETS IN HOMES AND OUT OF SHELTERS. BY RAISING AWARENESS ABOUT PET HOMELESSNESS AS A COMMUNITY ISSUE AND ENGAGING PEOPLE IN THE LIFESAVING EFFORTS, SPCA WAKE IS ADDRESSING THE PROBLEM AT THE SOURCE. SPCA WAKE PROGRAMS DIRECTED AT HELPING ANIMALS BY HELPING THE PEOPLE WHO CARE FOR THEM INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING INITIATIVES: THE ANIMALS PROGRAM HELPS KEEP BELOVED PETS IN THEIR HOMES BY PROVIDING DELIVERY OF PET FOOD TO PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES AND HOME-BOUND SENIORS. THE BEHAVIOR OUTREACH PROGRAM HELPS PET OWNERS EXPERIENCING BEHAVIOR PROBLEMS WITH THEIR PETS BY PROVIDING TRAINING AND OTHER POSITIVE, REWARD-BASED SOLUTIONS. THE HUMANE EDUCATION PROGRAM PROMOTES RESPONSIBLE PET CARE, COMPASSION AND RESPECT FOR ALL LIVING THINGS TO CHILDREN AND ADULTS AND INCLUDES CAT TALES, A POPULAR SUMMER READING PROGRAM FOR YOUTH.
