Programs and results
What we aim to solve
The animal shelters and animal control facilities located in and around Montgomery County, Texas, are overflowing with dogs and cats which have been abandoned, abused or neglected. Dogs and cats are being euthanized to make space for more and more incoming dogs and cats. ASVT wants to reduce the number of companion animals killed simply to open kennels for other companion animals by promoting spay and neuter surgery.
Our programs
What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
Foster Homes
Montgomery County, Texas, residents providing temporary homes for companion animals who are:
1. Stressed from living in a shelter, injured or ill.
2. Healthy but still looking for a local, permanent home.
3. Preparing for transfer to out-of-state animal rescues or shelter which have higher adoption rates.
Transport
Transporting dogs from Montgomery County, Texas, to out of state rescues and shelters with higher adoption rates.
Medical Care
Providing treatment for some of the ill and injured animals that the Montgomery County Animal Shelter is unable to provide. We have assisted animals with broken legs, mange, torn ligaments, kennel cough, heartworm disease and various other needs.
Community Awareness
Educating Montgomery County, Texas, residents about:
1. The need and benefit of spaying, neutering and vaccinating companion animals.
2. How ASVT is helping to reduce the number of companion animals that are euthanized daily at the local animal shelters.
3. ASVTs need for temporary foster homes and funds to provide necessary veterinary care for the companion animals in our care.
4. Busting myths about companion animals residing in animal shelters and animal control facilities.
5. The importance of treating animals humanely.
Adoption Events
ASVT hosts adoption events almost every Saturday at different Montgomery County, Texas, businesses to allow the public to meet and visit some of our adoptable companion animals.

Charting impact
Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.
What is the organization aiming to accomplish?
1. To reduce the number of abandoned, abused and neglected companion animals in Montgomery County, Texas.
2. To increase the number of companion animals that are spayed or neutered in Montgomery County, Texas.
3. To send as many adoptable dogs as possible to rescues and shelters in other states which have higher adoption rates.
4. To educate the residents of Montgomery County about the need for spaying/neutering of companion animals.
What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?
1. ASVT will continue to provide vouchers to Montgomery County residents with low incomes for low cost spay/neuter surgery.
2. ASVT will continue to accept companion animals from the public, from the Montgomery County Animal Shelter and small shelters/animal control facilities in outlying rural communities. These companion animals will be provided with spay/neuter surgery, microchips and all core vaccinations and any other medical tests necessary to ensure these animals are healthy and ready for adoption.
3. ASVT will continue to send on average 15-20 dogs and puppies each month to rescues and shelters in Iowa, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Michigan and Ontario, Canada.
4. ASVT will provide volunteers for speaking engagements to schools and civic organizations to educate the public about the importance of spaying or neutering companion animals.
What are the organization's capabilities for doing this?
ASVT has experienced volunteers who are knowledgeable about animal welfare and running the business side of a non-profit. We have a stable board of directors and a stable volunteer base to help with programs and with involving new volunteers. ASVT is able to work effectively with other community groups to improve the shelter services.
What have they accomplished so far and what's next?
1. ASVTs number of adoptions of companion animals has increased each year. We intend to continue this trend.
2. Our increased exposure in the community has resulted in more requests for assistance with the cost of spay/neuter surgeries as well as intake of unwanted puppy and kitten litters.
3. In 2020, ASVT received a grant from the Humane Society of Montgomery County (HSMC) which provides funds to offset increased spay/neuter costs associated with the increase in adoptions as a result of the COVID-19 quarantine.
