Organizations Filed Purposes:
HS/SPCA of Nelson County exists to improve animal and public welfare by providing rescue, care, and adoption services for homeless companion animals. Our mission is to save animals' lives, to promote humane, responsible pet ownership, to protect animals from abuse and neglect, and to combat overpopulation through spay-neuter and trap-neuter-return programs, with the goal that no healthy or reasonably treatable, non-aggressive companion animal is euthanized in our service area.
We improve animal and public welfare via rescue, care, and adoption of "homeless" companion animals in our no-kill animal shelter and foster care networks; pet transportation for adoption elsewhere; spay-neuter-vaccination program; trap-neuter-return program for unsocialized cats; etc.
Code: 900099. Through operation of our Almost Home Pet Adoption Center and foster-care networks, we provided some 252 dogs and 339 cats with food, shelter, veterinary care, and vaccinations, sterilization, adoption, and related services. Among other things, we: transported animals to local vet offices and adoption venues; marketed pets for adoption online; presented pets for adoption at Almost Home; helped to re-unite lost and found pets with owners; distributed food and houses for pets of low/no income owners so they could keep their pets; and, worked with the county government's animal control division to take 127 dogs and 11 cats from their custody, saving many from euthanasia.
Code: 900099. We funded and coordinated low/no cost Spay-Neuter, testing, and vaccinations services (performed by licensed veterinarians) for approximately 39 dogs and 28 cats of low income residents on a "pay what you can" basis, thus improving animal health, augmenting public safety by increasing compliance with rabies vaccination requirements, and avoiding geometric growth in future numbers of "surplus" companion animals. To these same ends, 208 "feral/unsocialized" cats were trapped, given veterinary exams and services, sterilized, then returned for care at long term sites or by the "owners" under our Trap-Neuter-Return program.
Code 900099. Through our Pet Rescue/Transport Programs, we saved and transported 135 dogs and puppies, and 112 cats and kittens, for adoption at cooperating shelters in areas where pets are in demand. Pets in these programs receive vaccinations and veterinary care. Those of suitable age are sterilized prior to transport; younger animals are sterilized through the receiving agencies prior to adoption.
