Programs and results
What we aim to solve
We are a small, isolated rural community. Our town does not have a lot of resources for animal care. Dogs and cats here need our help to lead happy, healthy lives. We are their voice and guardian.
Our programs
What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
Low-cost Spay/Neuter Clinics and low-cost or free vouchers
We are passionate that every pet is a wanted pet. Stopping the cycle of unwanted litters is crucial for us to succeed. This program provides vouchers for low cost spay/neuter clinics that are scheduled 4 times per year. We also have low-cost and free vouchers for families in need. Local veterinarians discount the surgeries.
Community Cat Program (Trap/Neuter/Return)
Feral cats should be sterilized and left to live out their lives in colonies. We have 14 cat colonies with about 180 cats. Volunteers water and feed cats as well as trap ones that need sterilization. Basic health care is sometimes provided. Sterilized cats are returned to their colony.
Adoptions and foster care
Adopting a homeless pet enhances human lives. HSMV assists with adoptions for the Moab Animal Shelter. Foster homes are provided for young and special needs animals.
Pet Food Bank
Families should be given extra help to keep their pet in their home. Pet food given to families in need.

Charting impact
Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.
What is the organization aiming to accomplish?
Our Mission
The Humane Society of Moab Valley promotes and provides responsible care for our community's animals.
Our Vision
Every pet has a safe, healthy, happy life and a forever home.
Our Values
Our compassion for animals inspires integrity, honesty, transparency and tenacity in our work and relationships as well as dedication to our community and its animals.
We provide our rural community with low-cost spay/neuter programs;
We provide safe shelter for animals;
We provide education for the humane treatment of animals.
We work closely with the Moab City Animal Shelter to find forever homes for abandoned dogs and cats.
What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?
Responsible pet ownership and education are at the heart of HSMV's mission. We work with the community's youth to teach them about animals and responsible, humane animal care. We believe animal welfare education not only includes educating adults about the importance of spay/neuter, pet health, pet safety, and the benefits of having a pet, but educating young people about the responsibilities that come with pet ownership. Our children are our future pet lovers and pet guardians.
What are the organization's capabilities for doing this?
We have 50 volunteers and two part time paid staff members. Our Board of Directors is dedicated and proactive in helping the organization move forward. We work closely with the Moab Animal Shelter and the two veterinary clinics in Moab. Our community members and government entities help support us.
What have they accomplished so far and what's next?
Since HSMV was established in 1999, the Moab community has transitioned from killing 400-560 animals a year to a no-kill community. We achieved No-Kill status in 2002. Our spay/neuter statistics are steadily decreasing (in spite of increased human population) which we attribute to less unwanted litters because of our effective sterilization programs.
To date, HSMV has spay/neutered more than 6,145 dogs and cats, and spay/neutered almost 3,880 community cats in our Trap/Neuter/Return program. We found homes for more than 2,400 animals to date. Additionally, we distribute about 1,000 pounds of free pet food to families in need each year. We have been a member of No More Homeless Pets in Utah and Shelter Animals Count since their inception.
