In FY2015, these clinicsin Houston, Pasadena, and San Antonioperformed 29,052 spay/neuter surgeries (8,336 dog spays, 7,006 dog neuters, 7,671 cat spays, and 6,039 cat neuters). They cared for an additional 19,303 dog and cat patients with wellness services. Because the offerings in our clinics were limited to spay/neuter and wellness services, our dedicated and compassionate team was able to remain focused on the proficiency of high-quality, high-volume spay/neuter and keep prices low at the same time. By enabling our clients to access affordable spay/neuter services, we were able to move closer to achieving our vision of a world with no homeless pets in FY2015. 758226 303883 Mobile Clinic Projects:Our mobile spay-neuter clinicspioneered by SNAP in 1993are addressing the problem of animal overpopulation, homelessness, and euthanasia by taking services right into the neighborhoods in which they are most needed. High rates of animal homelessness, abandonment, shelter intake, and euthanasia directly correlate with areas in which a large percentage of the population lives below poverty level. In FY2015 our mobile clinics served low-income clients in twelve Texas counties. A total of 6,010 animals received spay-neuter and vaccinations (1,273 dog spays, 1,373 dog neuters, 1,439 cat spays, and 1,218 cat neuters). Calculating only the female animals and using conservative reproduction rates, the births of over 6,000 puppies and 11,000 kittens were prevented within a single years time. Carrying the calculations out over a longer period of time, the numbers increase exponentially, reaching staggering and heart-breaking numbers.These 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.Our Houston Mobile Clinic continued to work in the infamous Corridor of Cruelty and Neglect. This area of town has become a place where unwanted animals are discarded. Many of these animals have been abused, often used in cruel and illegal dog-fighting operations. With this large population of homeless animals, the cycle of reproduction continues unfettered. Thanks to funding from a number of animal organizations and foundations who have been touched by the deplorable plight of these animals, SNAP was able to make a number of trips to the corridor in FY2015.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 taxpayers 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. Contracts/Cooperative Efforts with Municipalities and Shelters:These activities were carried out by and budgeted through the two programs described previously.In FY2015, SNAP contracted and/or partnered with a number of municipalities and agencies, including BARC (the City of Houston), Harris County, Fort Bend County, the City of Pasadena, San Antonio Animal Care Services, the City of Laredo Health Department, the City of Liberty, and Bexar County. While the target populations, client qualifications, and other details vary from contract to contract, all of these collaborations allowed us to achieve the goals of providing spay-neuter to a greater number of clients, vaccinating animals against rabies and other preventable diseases for the well-being of the animals and in the interest of public health, and reducing the number of homeless animals and the number of healthy, adoptable cats and dogs euthanized in shelters.One indicator of the success of these collaborations is the incredible progress the city of San Antonio has made in improving its shelter live release rate, moving closer to no kill status. A broad coalition of agencies and organizations were part of this remarkable achievement, and SNAP has been integral to the success of the effort.In February, 2015, SNAP also continued to expand our international reach, as four SNAP team members joined an international team working with the city of Ambato, Ecuador and Protection Animal Ecuador (PAE) to address a terrible pet overpopulation crisis in the city. 1,463 dogs and cats were spayed and neutered during this five-day project. This project adds to trips to Mexico, American Somoa, the Cayman Islands, the Galapagos Islands, and India in previous years. Through this international outreach SNAP has helped address animal overpopulation by performing surgeries and teaching the local communities how to set up spay-neuter clinics and how to practice high-quality, high-volume spay-neuter. 5461464 true true false false false false false false false false true false false false false false true false false false false false false false true false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 10 0 true 95 true false false false false false false true true false 0 false false false false false false false false false false X 11 11 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true true true false X X X JR Valdez 7138623863 7155 Old Katy Road Suite N290 Houston TX 77024 Kate Smargiasso President 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Catarina Gonzales Cron Vice President 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Genvieve Luce Eichner Secretary 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Francisco Sanchez Jr Treasurer 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Roger Barker Board Member 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Linne Girouard Board Member 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Jason Luong Board Member 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Carolyn Pratt Board Member 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Neil Sackheim Board Member 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Terry Blair Sidwell Board Member 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Sonia Soto Board Member 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 David L Smith Exe Dir to Oct 40.00 0.00 X 78758 0 43 Mary Kate Lawler DVM Executive Dir. 40.00 0.00 X 148396 0 6331 JR Valdez Dep Dir Admin 40.00 0.00 X 79925 0 8487 Laura Welch Development Dir 40.00 0.00 X 62986 0 8487 Leonard Allen King DVM D.V.M 40.00 0.00 X 122063 0 8487 Carole Price DVM D.V.M 40.00 0.00 X 114623 0 8431 Oswell Jaxxon DVM D.V.M 40.00 0.00 X 101639 0 8315 708390 48581 4 false true false ADP TotalSource 5800 Windward Pkwy Alpharetta GA 30005 Employee leasing 173487 1 13170 604717 5994 617887 Veterinary services 900099 4251078 4251078 4251078 2250 2250 0 0 0 0 7510 13170 10393 -2883 -2883 0 1283063 623896 659167 659167 0 5527499 4910245 -633 0 0 0 0 335775 294077 20210 21488 44169 44169 2773864 2463747 127672 182445 0 337796 303721 16284 17791 284763 248963 17364 18436 0 0 22032 22032 0 0 0 209827 186299 13722 9806 8875 100 25 8750 298050 236538 23962 37550 161681 88192 23174 50315 0 312988 255689 29321 27978 32721 18732 7220 6769 0 0 0 0 111899 110411 1488 27868 20956 4536 2376 Veterinary medical supplies 1150177 1150177 Equipment purchases & repair 77754 65991 5069 6694 Other expenses 19134 12480 4853 1801 Dues, subscriptions, licenses 7867 5391 1659 817 0 6217240 5461464 362760 393016 179772 107400 44520 496129 1176934 177056 86249 96516 0 0 0 85307 87427 23275 61820 1602908 878626 836178 724282 0 15000 15000 0 0 0 2447235 1765630 567905 576041 567905 576041 X 1493739 1012533 385591 177056 1879330 1189589 2447235 1765630 -689741 X false true X true false X 1200781 1027766 1625744 1721290 617887 6193468 0 52800 52800 52800 158400 1200781 1027766 1678544 1774090 670687 6351868 1442720 4909148 2476 3404 3193 3111 2250 14434 0 0 6366302 24425565 0.77110 0.77930 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 590094 186120 403974 999936 679889 320047 12878 12617 261 724282 5581199 53700 53700 5527499 5527499 6270940 53700 53700 6217240 6217240 false Casino Night 20680 13170 7510 7763 2630 20680 13170 7510 7763 2630 10393 -2883 X X X X false false false false false false false false false false Mary Kate Lawler DVM Executive Dir. 148396 6331 154727 Magda Serrano Offcr's sister 44169 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.
