Form 990, Part lll, Program services Despite many difficulties this year, we have been able to move more animals than ever. With people staying at home, demand from our partner groups all over the nation increased greatly. In some months we were not able to process as many animals as our partners were willing to take. We cancelled our Dachshund Races and 5K Race. These events are major fundraisers and left quite a hole in our budget. While absorbing the shock of the spring lockdown, we suddenly began to encounter a series of major hoarding and abuse cases that has continued throughout the year. We are one of the few facilities that can accommodate 50 to 100 extra visitors on fairly short notice. We can do this because our transports are scheduled to move our inventory very rapidly. This way we often have extra space between large shipments. This year we have also developed relationships with several partners including North Shore Animal League America in New York who take 50 or more animals on a monthly basis. In one month this spring, the Taylor County Sheriffs office brought us over 50 dogs from three hoarding and abuse cases. These animals were kept in muddy yards, some tied to trees, and most malnourished. At one location there were several dead dogs in the yard. Friends in East Texas called us to help with a home that had 89 big dogs in one house! Coordinating with our partners, we were able to move all of these dogs in a very short time with most going to new homes directly from the site. We began the fall with another series of hoarding cases involving over 80 dogs at various locations from Dublin to Abilene. In one of these cases, nearly all the dogs broke with Parvo. Thanks to Dr. Allen Bolt we saved all but three. Bang! Our biggest case started in October when Abilene Animal Services called asking our help with over 120 dogs and cats at one house in Abilene! All our kennels were full with 96 animals in inventory when the call came. Our partners rapidly arranged emergency transports moving over 80 dogs out of town in just over two weeks. We are continuing to work the city to arrange homes for 40 to 50 cats and kittens in this case. Of course, our regular inflow of animals has continued despite having these very large cases. By expanding the number of partners we work with and finding partners that can take larger shipments of animals, we have successfully juggled the tidal wave of unwanted animals this year.Major progress at the City of Abilene Animal Shelter We have just donated $20,000 to the City of Abilene toward the first years salary for the first ever vet at the Abilene Animal Shelter. The new vet started this fall and is making improvements in animal care. We are planning on partnering with the city at allow them to use the clinic facility at our Adoption Center on South First since the city shelter does not have room for their vet to do surgeries and major medical. We also plan to work with the city to bring low cost spay/neuter teams of vets to our Adoption Center to provide cheap surgeries and vaccinations for the public. We will provide the facility and may participate with the city in some of the cost for bringing in the teams of vets. Our present low cost spay/neuter voucher program is fixing hundreds of animals a year. By cooperating with the city to bring in teams of vets, we hope to radically increase the number of surgeries. We are also loaning our Adoption Trailer to the city to allow them to hold remote adoption events to increase shelter sales. In October the Abilene Animal Shelter had its first ever no-kill month in which no animals were euthanized for lack of space. We continue to support this sales with advertising.
