Currently, we are carrying out this mission through seven veterinary clinics: stationary clinics in Houston, Pasadena, and San Antonio, Texas; and four mobile satellite clinics. Through these outlets, SNAP provided services to residents of 17 Texas counties. In addition to free spay/neuter and vaccinations provided for dog and cat companions of those living below poverty level, we offer affordable, low-cost spay/neuter and wellness services to the general public. false false 2348334 2724685 In FY2017, 17,366 animals received veterinary care through SNAPs low-cost veterinary wellness program. SNAPs wellness services include: wellness examinations; Feline Leukemia & heartworm testing; Rabies, Bordetella, Distemper, Parvo, Canine Influenza, and Feline Leukemia vaccinations & boosters; parasite treatment & prevention; and micro-chipping. In addition to improving the health and wellbeing of the animals who receive care at SNAP, by making these services accessible and affordable, SNAP is building stronger, happier, and healthier families and providing a public health benefit to our communities. 1712892 1496996 In FY2017, 19,295 dogs and cats were spayed/neutered through SNAPs publicly-offered low-cost spay/neuter program. These animals represent about 13,000 families whose lives were improved by making spay/neuter accessible and affordable for their companion animals. The removal of hormonal behaviors in these animals has helped to improve the human/animal bond, which has been repeatedly shown to provide tremendous emotional, mental, and physical health benefits for the human caregivers.Thus improving the invaluable human/animal bond they share. Besides curbing pet overpopulation and preventing the suffering and death of millions of unwanted puppies and kittens, these services have had dramatic implications for the public. Public health has been improved by reducing the threat and incidence of rabies spread by dogs and decreasing the number of dog bites (which are overwhelmingly caused by un-neutered male dogs). A reduction in the number of stray animals roaming the neighborhoods and the number of carcasses in our landfills has achieved a safer and cleaner environment.Municipalities and tax payers have been saved money by the reduction in number of animals picked up off the streets, impounded, and euthanized in animal control facilities and shelters (nation-wide, these expenses are estimated to be as high as $2 billion per year). And community livability standards and public sentiment have been improved by reducing the killing of healthy, adoptable dogs and cats. 679831 In FY2017, Empowering People & PetsSNAPs program to provide spay/neuter and veterinary wellness care free of charge to the companion animals of income-qualifying clientsprovided spay/neuter surgeries and rabies vaccinations for 7,658 dogs and cats. Studies have shown a direct correlation between the likelihood of companion animals being spayed/neutered and family income. Therefore, providing these services free of charge to those who live below poverty level is striking at the very root of the problem of animal homelessness, abandonment, shelter intake, and euthanasia. The clients (who qualify based on participation in various government assistance programs) have been empowered through the opportunity to provide a previously-unattainable level of care for their pets, while contributing to the solution of animal overpopulation. Charitable funding for these programs allowed us to provide the services at no cost to the clients.In addition to the immediate financial benefit of receiving free services, these clients were able to avoid the compounded expenses of future generations of unwanted puppies and kittens. Pets have been given the chance to live their lives free from hormonal urges, preventable diseases, reproductive cancers, and the discomfort and dangers of giving birth. The removal of hormonal behaviors in these companion animals has helped to improve the human/animal bond, which has been repeatedly shown to provide tremendous emotional, mental, and physical health benefits for the human caregivers.This year, the primary focus of was on securing funding for spay/neuter and rabies vaccinations. Moving forward, particularly in the aftermath of Hurricane Harvey at the beginning of FY2018, funding is being sought to add general wellness and preventative care to the subsized offerings provided through this program. Twice during FY2017, Executive Director, Dr. Mary Kate Lawler traveled with Soul Dog Rescue to partner with them in providing spay/neuter in Native American communities. The first trip was to New Mexico in September of 2016, and the second was to Arizona in March of 2017. 4741057 true true false false false false false false false false true false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 7 0 true 107 true false false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false false false false X 7 7 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true true true false X X X Jacob Outlaw 7138623863 1801 Durham Dr Houston TX 77007 Ellen Dede Carter Braun Pres from 8/16 4.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Kate Smargiasso Pres to 7/16 4.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Dean C Duet VP from 1/17 4.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Genvieve Bibi Luce Eichner VP to 9/16 4.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Carolyn Pratt Treasurer 4.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Kathryn Koepke Secr from 1/17 4.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Linn Girouard Secr to 12/16 4.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Laura Braun Board Member 4.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Brenda Simpson Board Member 4.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Paige Whitton Board Member 4.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Taryn Wright Board Member 4.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Mary Kate Lawler DVM Executive Dir. 50.00 0.00 X 155000 0 14441 JR Valdez Dep Dir Admin 50.00 0.00 X 98500 0 9285 Chaya Hirsch DVM Veterinarian 40.00 0.00 X 115037 0 10207 Denise Shofner-Stewart DVM Veterinarian 40.00 0.00 X 111888 0 0 Cristina Noltenius DVM Veterinarian 40.00 0.00 X 107715 0 7469 Howard Halliday DVM Veterinarian 40.00 0.00 X 104800 0 16547 692940 57949 5 false true false ADP TotalSource 5800 Windward Pkwy Alpharetta GA 30005 Employee leasing 313488 1 831826 831826 Veterinary services 900099 3751358 3751358 3751358 112 112 0 2300 2300 0 0 0 0 965021 494698 470323 470323 0 5055919 4221681 2412 0 0 0 0 260959 223984 20033 16942 47576 47576 2356748 2064726 185554 106468 0 272650 229912 17142 25596 293261 252043 22589 18629 0 800 800 2000 2000 0 0 0 453394 373245 32338 47811 13504 3412 844 9248 246435 180374 27473 38588 174272 74173 23269 76830 0 323488 267898 29386 26204 23673 14011 4904 4758 0 0 10600 10600 0 103388 102787 601 38356 31375 4094 2887 Veterinary medical supplies 861285 861285 Equipment purchases & repair 56104 53050 1432 1622 Employee Relations 8873 7813 914 146 Other expenses 8557 328 8218 11 1118 641 85 392 5557041 4741057 392276 423708 55261 121713 130053 244 134347 130747 82726 101392 0 0 0 87608 51284 60647 39237 1667872 1081152 659822 586720 0 15000 15000 0 0 0 1225464 1046337 717661 865404 3100 177352 720761 1042756 X 370356 -127166 134347 130747 504703 3581 1225464 1046337 -501122 X false true X true false X 1625744 1721290 617887 852367 831826 5649114 0 52800 52800 52800 52800 52800 264000 1678544 1774090 670687 905167 884626 5913114 1156781 4756333 3193 3111 2250 8628 2412 19594 0 0 5932708 25266629 0.80170 0.79420 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 590094 266686 323408 1034614 801236 233378 43164 13230 29934 586720 5055919 5055919 5055919 5557041 5557041 5557041 X X X X false false false false false false false false false false Mary Kate Lawler DVM Executive Dir. 155000 14441 169441 Mary Kate Lawler DVM Executive Director Operating loan X 90595 87674 false true true Mary Kate Lawler DVM Executive Director Operating loan X 50000 50000 false true true 137674 Magda Serrano Offcr's sister 47576 Employee compensation false Form 990, Part VI, Line 11b: Form 990 Review Process The draft version of the 990 is presented to the Deputy Director of Administration for preliminary review before it is forwarded to the Executive Director and the board.
