1 OPERATES AN OPEN ADMISSION ANIMAL SHELTER WHERE NO ANIMAL IS TURNED AWAY NO MATTER WHAT ITS AGE, CONDITION, EXTENT OF INJURIES OR BEHAVIOR
THE SAUK COUNTY HUMANE SOCIETY TOOK IN 2263 ANIMALS IN 2019. ANIMAL CONTROL TOOK 512 CALLS, HANDLED 157 BITE CASES, AND IMPOUNDED 347 ANIMALS. TO ENSURE WE DO NOT HAVE TO EUTHANIZE HEALTHY, ADOPTABLE ANIMALS, 223 ANIMALS WERE TRANSFERRED TO OTHER SHELTERS AND RESCUE GROUPS. WE IMPLEMENTED BITE PREVENTION TALKS FOR OVER 2,000 SCHOOL CHILDREN AT RURAL SAFETY DAYS AND CLASSROOM VISITS THROUGHOUT THE ACADEMIC SCHOOL YEAR. WE ATTENDED COMMUNITY BUSINESS MEETINGS AND INFORMED OVER 150 BUSINESS OWNERS ABOUT THE SHELTER'S MISSION, UPCOMING SPAY/NEUTER INITIATIVES, AND SERVICES PROVIDED TO THE COMMUNITY. WE PUBLISHED THREE NEWSLETTERS AND AN ANNUAL REPORT THAT WERE SENT TO OVER 7,000 HOUSEHOLDS. THE NEWSLETTERS ADVERTISE THE SOCIETY'S SERVICES TO THE PUBLIC AND PROVIDE EDUATION AND OUTREACH ARTICLES. WE PARTNERED WITH VARIOUS LOCAL BUSINESSES FOR ADOPT-A-THON EVENTS, GENERAL HUMANE EDUCATION, AND PROMOTING THE IMPORTANCE OF SPAYING AND NEUTERING FOR ALL PETS. WE ATTENDED OVER 25 COMMUNITY EVENTS TO INCREASE AWARENESS OF HUMANE TREATMENT OF ANIMALS AND RESPONSIBLE PET CARE.
WE ASSISTED 29 INDIVIDUALS WITH VETERINARY SERVICES THROUGH THE JOSH DIEHM MEMORIAL FUND. TO HELP OWNERS WHO HAVE FALLEN ON DIFFICULT TIMES KEEP THEIR PETS, THREE PROGRAMS HAVE BEEN IN PLACE SINCE JANUARY 2012: PET PARTERSHIP, SAFEKEEPING, AND A PET FOOD PANTRY. THESE PROGRAMS HELP LOW-INCOME COUNTY RESIDENTS WHO ARE TEMPORARILY UNABLE TO CARE FOR THEIR PETS OR WHO HAVE EMERGENCY PET FOOD OR HOUSING NEEDS. THESE PROGRAMS ARE DEISNGED TO HELP RESIDENTS KEEP THEIR PETS RATHER THAN GIVING THEM AWAY OR SURRENDERING THEM TO THE SHELTER. IN 2019, WE ASSISTED 88 INDIVIDUALS THROUGH THESE PROGRAMS AND 95 PETS.
IN AN EFFORT TO CURB PET OVERPOPULATION, THE SAUK COUNTY HUMANE SOCIETY OPERATES THE AREA'S ONLY LOW COST SPAY/NEUTER CLINIC. WE SPAYED OR NEUTERED 775 CATS AND 67 DOGS IN 2019. WE PROVIDE LOW COST VACCINES FOR 129 CATS AND 85 DOGS AND MICROCHIPPED AND 8 DOGS
