Mission

The mission of the Humane Society of Clarksville Montgomery County is to prevent the suffering of animals by promoting spaying, neutering, and responsible pet ownership and by supporting the effort of local and regional rescue and shelters. It is the policy of the HSCMC to help control the animal population with low-cost spay and neuter services to the community; and to provide pet owners and kind Samaritans with resources that dissuade them from surrendering the pet to a shelter where the pet might be euthanized.

High Volume Low Cost Spay Neuter Clinic

Our low cost spay neuter clinic is aimed at reducing pet homelessness, suffering, and euthanasia of healthy adoptable pets by making low-cost spay-neuter surgeries available to residents of Montgomery County & surrounding communities. Our low-cost spay-neuter clinic opened in July 2017 under the model of the ASPCA Spay-Neuter Alliance (formerly Humane Alliance) and fixed approximately 5,000 dogs & cats per year. Prior to opening the clinic, we utilize a low-cost voucher program from 2003-2017, which allowed us to assist families in altering 9,500 pets (about 630 pets per year). Studies show that spaying or neutering about 5 animals per 1,000 people per year over 3-5 years will reduce homeless pet populations. For Montgomery County, that is about 809 dogs and cats per year. So we are very excited to be able to have such a huge impact.

AWAS provides fixed and low income pet owners with pet food from the Pet Food bank; financial grants for emergency or urgent veterinary care; dog houses and other pet necessities; and pet care and behavior counseling. The Pet Food Bank stocks donated dry and canned food, litter, toys, bedding, treats, food dishes and other pet related items to give to these pet owners. We delivered over $4,000 of veterinary care grants in 2007; over $7000 in 2008; over $9000 in 2009; over $3000 in 2010; $2,866 in 2011; $2,550 in 2012; $2,648 in 2013; $2,180 in 2014; $1,075 in 2015; $2,944 in 2016; and $1,050 in 2017. Helping fixed and low income pet owners keep their pets healthy and humanely keeps pets from suffering from neglect, provides the owner with all the benefits of companionship, and keeps the owners from having to give them up to an already huge homeless pet population. In 2017 we also distributed over 30,000 pounds of dog food, cat food, and cat litter through our Pet Food Bank.

Population(s) Served
Economically disadvantaged people
Victims and oppressed people
Unemployed people
Veterans

We do not have a physical shelter, so working with sheltering and rescue organizations is vital to place as many adoptable dogs and cats as possible. HSCMC collaborates with Montgomery County Animal Control to move adoptable dogs & cats out of the shelter to rescue groups. This reduces the number of healthy adoptable pets MCAC must euthanize due to lack of space and available homes. The SRSP program funds veterinary, housing & transportation expenses associated with moving pets to these organizations.   In 2017, we transferred 7 dogs and 17 cats from MCAC to HSCMC foster homes and assisted with the pull/transport of additional animals from MCAC to rescue groups or directly to adoptive families. HSCMC provided 5,721 lbs. of dry dog food; 778 cans of dog food; 447 lbs. of dry cat food; 942 cans of cat food; 6,305 lbs. of cat litter; and other supplies to 10 area rescue organizations.

Population(s) Served

The HSCMC provides pet care and behavior information at more than 3 dozen outreach events annually. The HS also visits with young children's groups, schools, day cares and the like, to teach them how to be safe around dogs (dog bite prevention classes). Speakers also give presentations to various civic organizations such as the Civitans, Rotary, Kiwanis, on the details of animal welfare issues, their impact, and solutions for the community.

Charting impact

Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.

Continue to reduce overpopulation, suffering and euthanasia of healthy, adoptable pets in Montgomery County and surrounding communities by offering affordable spay-neuter and assisting families with keeping pets in their homes through pet food bank, counseling, and emergency veterinary assistance. We work with families, shelters, kind Samaritans and animal-welfare groups to keep hundreds of dogs and cats off city streets each year.

Continue to offer affordable spay-neuter, pet food bank, counseling, and emergency veterinary assistance to families, kind Samaritans, shelters & rescue organizations who are working to help animals in our community.

Balance sheet

Fiscal Year: Jan 01 - Dec 31

SOURCE: IRS Form 990 info

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.
