Our programs
What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
Low Cost Spay/Neuter
We provide low-to-moderate cost spay and neuter services to the general public.In addition to low-to-moderate cost spay and neuter services no cost spay and neuter services are offered throughout the year that are funded by grants. Manatee County provides limited funding for services for low income families each year. HSMC also provides low-to-moderate cost vaccine clinics bi-monthly for cats and dogs.
Second Chance Adoptions
Humane Society of Manatee County’s Second Chance Adoption Shelter found new homes for 753 cats and dogs in 2018. Many of the animals arriving at our shelter have medical and behavioral issues and truly need a second chance. Our shelter staff and medical team work with each animal to prepare them for adoption. All animals adopted into new homes are spayed / neutered and fully vaccinated and all dogs receive heartworm prevention meds.
Pet Food Pantry
Humane Society of Manatee County Pet Food Pantry provides dog and cat food to pet owners experiencing temporary economic challenges to ensure their animal companions can stay with their families. Low income families, senior citizens and young working families all have visited our Pet Food Pantry in times of need. In 2018 over 2000lbs of cat and dog food was distributed to those in need.All of the pet food distributed through the Pet Food Pantry is food that was donated by our community.
TNR (Trap/Neuter/Return)
Humane Society of Manatee County collaborates with members of our community and other animal welfare agencies in Manatee County in providing spay and neuter services for feral (free-roaming) cats. The TNR (trap-neuter-return) program in addition to spay and neuter includes vaccines, and identifying ear tipping. We make feral traps available through a loaner program for community members volunteering to assist in trapping unaltered cats. TNR is the proven humane solution to control the population of feral (free-roaming) cats in the community.
Dog Foster Program
PROGRAM INFORMATION Thank you for opening your heart and home to one of our shelter’s orphaned dogs. Your generosity will provide you and old, injured and sick, abused and under-socialized dogs a chance to grow or heal before finding their forever homes. Dogs needing foster homes • Puppies too young and/or immature to be adopted. • Puppies and young dogs that require more socialization than available at HSMC. • Older or senior dogs that will be more comfortable in a home environment. • Injured dogs and/or those recovering from surgery. • Neglected or abused dogs that need tender loving care. • Dogs suffering from “shelter stress” in need of a calming home environment. • Dogs with colds or with special medical needs. • Abandoned mothers with litters of puppies. Reasons to foster Fostering is a wonderful experience for you and your family -- you can feel good knowing you have helped save a dog’s life. Even better, you’ve created space in the shelter to accommodate other homeless dogs. Foster dogs provide companionship and purpose -- your act of kindness is repaid in rewards that are beyond words. We hope you save this information as it will answer many questions that will arise when fostering (printed handouts are provided at orientation meetings). When in doubt, please e-mail HSMC. Orientation meetings are given for new foster parents by appointment. Please contact HSMC to be added to the list for the next orientation -- you will be notified as to when the meeting will be held. Attendance is a requirement for continued fostering. However, we can get you on our active list and even fostering your first case if we've received your application, signed foster parent agreement, and have talked with you by phone. If we haven't already spoken with you, we hope to soon and get you ready for your first foster case!

Over these past five years trends in requested services have been followed to determine need. Based on those findings if was abundantly clear that we needed to make changes in our veterinary clinic to enable us to meet the growing demand for wellness services.

Balance sheetFiscal Year: Oct 01 - Sep 30
SOURCE: IRS Form 990
The balance sheet gives a snapshot of the financial health of an organization at a particular point in time. An organization's total assets should generally exceed its total liabilities, or it cannot survive long, but the types of assets and liabilities must also be considered. For instance, an organization's current assets (cash, receivables, securities, etc.) should be sufficient to cover its current liabilities (payables, deferred revenue, current year loan, and note payments). Otherwise, the organization may face solvency problems. On the other hand, an organization whose cash and equivalents greatly exceed its current liabilities might not be putting its money to best use.
