What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
Creating families for Homeless Pets
The Rio Grande Valley Humane Society works every day to match homeless pets with families looking to welcome a new pet into their home. With free or discounted adoption fees, a pet-care corner that offers free resources to new pet parents, and inclusive adoption practices, we are working every day to make sure that pet adoption is accessible to all.
Utilizing foster families as extensions of the shelter
The Rio Grande Valley Humane Society operates a robust, ever-changing foster program that matches lost & homeless pets with families willing to temporarily open their homes to shelter pets. In foster homes, pets are able to grow, recover, and socialize, all while learning the ins and outs of family life. With a foster stimulus grant from Maddie's Fund, we were able to purchase a variety of supplies and resources which are offered to foster families to ensure they have everything they need to care for their foster pet without having to worry about the financial burden. Foster families provide a much needed relief to the shelter in opening up space and resources for emergency cases who often require specialized care from our staff. Our foster families are hero's in shelter pets lives!
Monthly Low-Cost Vaccination Clinic
Every month, the Rio Grande Valley Humane Society hosts a low-cost vaccination clinic where we offer affordable preventative veterinary care to members of the community. The clinic serves an average of 300 people per month. As we expand our services in 2021, we hope to provide even more during these clinics.
Monthly Low-Cost Microchip Clinic
Every month, the Rio Grande Valley Humane Society hosts a low-cost microchip clinic where we offer at-cost microchips to members of the community. The clinic provides an average of 100 animals with a permanent form of identification to ensure that lost pets are able to reunited with their families. As we expand our services in 2021, we hope to provide even more during these clinics.
Pet Food Pantry
The Rio Grande Valley Humane Society hosts a Pet Food Pantry that is active every day during business hours. We welcome members of the community to come by the shelter to get free food and supplies for their pets whenever they need them. The pantry utilizes donations to maintain a supply and works to keep families together during difficult times. As we expand our lifesaving efforts in 2021, we hope to expand this service to serve more families.
