Mission
PREVENTION OF CRUELTY TO ANIMALS AND PROMOTION OF HUMANE ANIMAL PRACTICES
Program accomplishments
- THE PRIMARY MISSION OF THE MRHS SPAY/NEUTER CLINIC CONTINUED WITH ALL ANIMALS ADOPTED FROM THE CITY OF ATHENS ANIMAL SHELTER, AS WELL AS MORE ANIMALS IN THE SURROUNDING COMMUNITIES, BEING STERILIZED AND GIVEN INITIAL SHOTS. MANY RECEIVED MUCH NEEDED MEDICAL CARE FROM OUR FACILITY AS WELL, ALTHOUGH THE SERVICES PROVIDED ARE LIMITED COMPARED TO A REGULAR VETERINARIAN'S OFFICE. MRHS CONTINUED TO OFFER ADOPTION SPECIALS THROUGHOUT THE YEAR TO ENCOURAGE AND EDUCATE ABOUT THE BENEFITS OF SPAYING AND NEUTERING. THE CLINIC CONTINUED ITS SERVICES TO THE CITY SHELTER, AT NO COST TO THE CITY, OF PROVIDING SOME VACCINATIONS PRIOR TO ADOPTION (BORDETELLA VACCINES FOR ALL SHELTER DOGS), FLEA MEDICATIONS FOR ALL SHELTER ANIMALS, AND TREATMENT FOR ALL SICK ANIMALS. THE CLINIC VETERINARIAN MADE NEARLY DAILY ROUNDS AT THE SHELTER. (DOES NOT INCLUDE IN-KIND EXPENSES OF $31,500)Expenses $893,180 · revenue $686,082
- MANY MRHS VOLUNTEERS, IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE CITY OF ATHENS ANIMAL SHELTER, CONTINUED OUR MISSION TO SAVE LIVES THROUGH INCREASED ADOPTIONS AND RESCUES. MRHS CONTINUED TO ALIGN WITH MANY RESCUE ORGANIZATIONS TO TRANSPORT ANIMALS TO OTHER STATES TO BE PLACED IN PERMANENT HOMES. OVERALL OUR ADOPTION AND RESCUE NUMBERS INCREASED SUBSTANTIALLY OVER THE PRIOR YEAR.Expenses $24,907 · revenue $160
- SEVERAL MRHS VOLUNTEERS ALSO CONTINUED AND ENHANCED OUR EDUCATION AND OUTREACH PROGRAMS IN AREA SCHOOLS AND BEGAN DEVELOPING ADDITIONAL PROGRAMS IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE LOCAL LIBRARY AND YMCA. PLANS WERE MADE TO POSSIBLY ADD A LIBRARY AND LEARNING SPACE. BOOKS PROMOTING ANIMAL ADOPTIONS AND THE HUMANE TREATMENT OF ALL ANIMALS WOULD BE AVAILABLE AT THIS SPACE. IN ADDITION, POSSIBLE SUMMER PROGRAMS AND FIELD TRIPS ARE BEING CONSIDERED. MRHS VOLUNTEERS CONTINUE TO OFFER CLINIC AND SHELTER CUSTOMERS INFORMATION ABOUT PREVENTATIVE MEASURES FOR THE HEALTH AND WELLBEING OF THEIR PETS.
- MRHS HAS PARTNERED WITH A LARGE AREA DISTRIBUTION CENTER TO RECEIVE PALLETS OF UNSALEABLE PET FOOD (RETURNED OR DAMAGED) ON A FAIRLY REGULAR BASIS. THE FOOD IS STORED AT THE CITY SHELTER AND GIVEN OUT TO SHELTER CUSTOMERS ON AN "AS NEEDED" BASIS. IT IS DIFFICULT TO PLACE A VALUE ON THESE DONATIONS AS EACH PALLET IS DIFFERENT IN AMOUNT AND QUALITY . ADDITIONALLY, WE PAID $1,511 FOR THE DELIVERY OF THE PALLETS.
