Describe the Organization's Mission:

Part 3 - Line 1

VHS'S PROGRAMS ARE DESIGNED TO PREVENT CRUELTY TO ANIMALS, PROVIDE CARE AND FIND HOMES FOR HOMELESS ANIMALS, EDUCATE THE PUBLIC ABOUT HUMANE TREATMENT OF ANIMALS AND SEEK SOLUTIONS TO PET OVERPOPULATION.

Describe the Organization's Program Activity:

IN 2023, VHS SHELTERED 3,785 ANIMALS, AND ACHIEVED A 92% LIVE RELEASE RATE. VHS ALSO OFFERS SERVICES TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC IN AN EFFORT TO KEEP ANIMALS IN THEIR EXISTING HOME RATHER THAN BEING SURRENDERED, SUCH AS A PET FOOD BANK AND BEHAVIORAL TRAINING ADVICE. VHS ALSO WORKS WITH OTHER RESCUE ORGANIZATIONS FOR THE PLACEMENT OF ANIMALS. OVER 20,000 POUNDS OF FOOD WAS DISTRIBUTED THROUGH THE PET FOOD ASSISTANCE PROGRAM.


VHS OPERATES RIVER KITTY CAT CAFE - A CAFE THAT DISPLAYS CATS AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION TO THE PUBLIC WHILE OFFERING A WIDE VARIETY OF DRINKS AND TREATS. THE CAFE HOUSES ABOUT 20 CATS. CATS CAN BE VISITED FOR A FEE. WHEN ONE IS ADOPTED, VHS BRINGS ANOTHER FROM THE SHELTER WHICH MAKES SPACE AT THE SHELTER AND GIVES THE NEW CAT A FRESH AUDIENCE WITH HOPES OF FINDING A NEW HOME. VHS ALSO SELLS PET-RELATED PRODUCTS AT THE SHELTER AND AT THE CAFE.


VHS OPERATES A LOW-COST SPAY/NEUTER CLINIC. IN 2023, 6,979 SPAY/NEUTER SURGERIES WERE PERFORMED. ALL ANIMALS ARE ALTERED BEFORE BEING PLACED IN THEIR NEW HOME TO ENSURE NO BREEDING OCCURS ONCE ANIMALS LEAVE THE SHELTER. THE SPAY/NEUTER CLINIC IS OPEN TO THE PUBLIC. THE SHELTER SIGNIFICANTLY UNDERWRITES THE COST OF THESE SURGERIES AND OTHER SERVICES TO ENSURE THE SURGERY IS AVAILABLE REGARDLESS OF INCOME. THE CLINIC ALSO OPERATES AS A WELLNESS CLINIC TO PROVIDE LOW-COST MEDICAL SERVICES TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC, INCLUDING VACCINATIONS, MICROCHIPPING, PARASITE TREATMENT, AND MEDICAL TESTING.


THE EDUCATION AND VOLUNTEER PROGRAMS OF THE VHS REACHED 1,370 KIDS IN 46 PROGRAMS IN 18 SCHOOLS DURING 2023. THE PROGRAMS INCLUDE TOURS OF THE SHELTER AND CLASS ROOM STYLE PRESENTATIONS ON BEING SAFE AROUND ANIMALS, PROPER CARE AND TREATMENT OF ANIMALS AND A VARIETY OF OTHER PET RELATED SAFETY ISSUES. THE VHS EDUCATORS ALSO TAKE PRESENTATIONS TO THE SCHOOLS AND OTHER GROUP SETTINGS WHERE PEOPLE WANT TO LEARN MORE ABOUT THE SHELTER OR HEAR PET RELATED TOPICS.
