We accomplish this in Houston, Pasadena and San Antonio, Texas, by means of sterilization, education, and wellness services. true false 4066116 3919307 SNAP has reduced-cost stationary surgery/wellness clinics in Houston, Pasadena, and San Antonio. In FY 2013, the Houston Spay-Neuter and Animal Wellness Clinic sterilized 13,835 dogs and cats, the Pasadena Spay-Neuter and Welness Clinic did 3,538, and the San Antonio Spay-Neuter and Animal Wellness Clinic did 9,534. In addition, the San Antonio clinic saw 3,894 wellness patients, the Houston clinic treated 12,775, and the Pasadena clinic had 1,319 wellness visits. These clinics participated in World Spay Day, spaying or neutering 106 dogs and cats. The San Antonio Spay-Neuter and Animal Wellness Clinic held a special free pit bull day for this event, sterilizing thirteen pit bulls. Best Friends Animal Society has provided funding in San Antonio for TNR across the fourteen zip codes with the most serious community cat overpopulation. SNAP is part of that sweeping effort and in FY2013 sterilized 1,266 cats for the project. In addition, our Houston Spay-Neuter and Animal Wellness Clinic continued Animal Aid, which offers free sterilizations, free wellness exams, and wellness products at cost to the dogs and cats living with people affected by HIV/AIDS. In FY2013, we helped seventy-six clients and 127 animals in this program. SNAP began in May to collaborate with the City of Pasadena Animal Control in providing free spay/neuter surgeries through a voucher program to income-qualified animal guardians in the Pasadena area. In FY2013, 101 surgeries were provided through this program. 562439 204051 The Houston Mobile Clinic Project provides free spay-neuter surgeries for the cats and dogs of income-qualifying people in their own neighborhoods. The clinics that constitute this project, including a brand new mobile clinic, sterilized 5,535 animals in FY2013, turning away 1,588 for lack of space. Some highlights of the fiscal year are as follows. The Houston mobile clinic completed our two-year Zip Code Project for community cats in 77011, which spayed and neutered 317 community cats in FY2013 (and sixteen in adjacent 77023), who were returned to the location where they were picked up. The total for the entire project was 1,841 cats in 77011, which is 70 percent of the estimated community cat population there. Based on BARC data, there was a 17.3 percent drop in the number of cats surrendered to the shelter from 77011 between 2010 and 2012. It is important to note that between 2011 and 2012 alone, BARC saw a total increase in cat surrenders of 11.6 percent, making the decrease in 77011 all the more remarkable. We appear to have made a positive difference for cats in this zip code. We have received another two-year zip code grant from PetSmart Charities for 77087. We continued helping rescue efforts in the Corridor of Cruelty and Neglect, raising enough funding in FY2013 to make thirteen trips to the Corridor and sterilize 272 dogs and cats, including thirty-one rescues. The mobile clinic neutered sixty-eight male cats during our Neuter Scooter event for World Spay Day on February 26th. We have participated in this event for nineteen years, since its inception, now neutering male cats free for the general public without even the nickel we used to collect. Our efforts to build municipal support resulted in contracts with the city of Houston, Fort Bend County, the city of Liberty, in addition to grants from a foundation in Liberty County. Nineteen trips out of county were funded in FY2013, totaling 410 spays and neuters in three trips to Liberty (73) and twelve trips to Fort Bend County (244). Our contract with Fort Bend County is for monthly visits to the county at various sites. The Wharton County Stray Pet Outreach Team sponsored trips to the city of East Bernard in March (23), the city of Wharton in April (24), and the city of El Campo in May (24).This year the mobile clinic had one cat-only day, separate from the TNR events. On 8 August 2012, the Harris County shelter had special funding for a trip to Jeds Do It Best Hardware totaling thirty cats sterilized. Because it is still too dangerous to make our annual international trip to Mexico, we went to Panama instead. Erica Johnson, DVM, mobile clinic veterinarian, traveled to Panama City to participate in a Spay Panama spay-neuter project 23-28 June 2013 during which 203 animals were sterilized. 257789 66100 The San Antonio Mobile Clinic Project sterilized 2,484 animals in FY2013; 99.9 percent of those were free. The clinic made 105 trips to forty unique sites, including thirteen new ones. We averaged 23.7 animals per trip, thus maximizing the efficiency of the clinic. Overall, we were forced to turn away 1,564 animals. Some highlights of the year follow. ASPCA sponsored five trips in September and October that spayed or neutered 146 cats and dogs. And in March, Bark in the Park at Woodlawn Lake was sponsored by the Talk About It campaign (SAAF/ACS) at which twenty-nine sterilizations were accomplished. Dr. Turner and several veterinary technicians from Palo Alto Community College Veterinary Technician Program provided veterinary support during the Petco 5K9 Walk Run. The team operated a veterinary aid station for dogs participating in the event and provided water for the thirsty dogs. The first injury of the day was a beagle named Tex who had his right ear bandaged by Dr. Turner and the technicians after suffering a bite wound. He recovered quickly and was able to complete the one-mile walk with his guardian. The event included a 5K run, a one-mile walk, and a health and fitness expo for people and dogs and benefited the Petco Foundation. The mission of the March 10th event was to promote healthy, fit lifestyles across the country while raising funds for animal welfare.Twenty-three trips and twenty-nine operating days out of Bexar County resulted in a total of 924 dogs and cats being sterilized for free who otherwise would not have been. Funded by The Kronkosky Charitable Foundation, we made two trips to Comal County (Canyon Lake Animal Shelter) and three trips to Bandera County (Pipe Creek Community Center twice and The Plaza once), for a total of 131 spays and neuters. We made six trips to Medina County (one to Hondo, two to LaCoste, and three to Devine) for 200 sterilizations, sponsored by Castroville Nip & Tuck. A trip to SARA Sanctuary in Guadalupe County sponsored by Tracy Frank yielded twenty-eight animals fixed. We made three trips to Atascosa County: one to Tri-City Animal Sanctuary for twenty-nine animals and two to Lytle Animal Shelter, both sponsored by Emeritus Board Member Pam Harris, for sixty-two animals. Six trips to Laredo for two-day rounds of sterilizations on twelve operating days spayed or neutered 419 animals. Sponsored by the city of Laredo health department, we fixed 291 animals on eight operating days at Larga Vista Community Center, the Laredo health department, Kohls, and San Martin De Porress. Laredo Animal Protective Society sponsored four operating days, two at the Laredo Animal Shelter, one at the Laredo Animal Protective Society, and one at Texas A&M Center for Housing, totaling 128 animals. A two-day trip to Eagle Pass in March sterilized fifty-five cats and dogs in Maverick County. There is no stationary veterinary facility in Eagle Pass, the closest clinics being in Uvalde, over sixty miles away. There is a mobile veterinarian who provides wellness services, but she does not perform spay-neuter. This mobile clinic visit thus provided a vital service for the animals in the area. A nonprofit group called Project Companion hosted the event, which is the first clinic the organization has sponsored. We did 490 surgeries for Animal Care Services on the mobile clinic in FY2013. 4886344 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 true false false false false false false false false false false false true 8 0 true 84 true false false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false false false false X 10 10 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 Hector Villareal 4.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Nell Turk 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Sonia Soto 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Kate Smargiasso 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Jason Luong 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Genevieve Luce Eichner 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Catarina Gonzales Cron 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Terry Blair Sidwell 4.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Linne Girouard 4.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Neil Sackheim 4.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Laura Welch 40.00 0.00 X 61926 0 7345 JR Valdez 40.00 0.00 X 72599 0 7345 David L Smith fr 513 40.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 James R Weedon DVM 40.00 0.00 X 95000 0 49 Mary Kate Lawler 50.00 0.00 X 151403 0 237 380928 14976 1 false true false BEY Commercial Construction LTD 301 Dennis Humble TX 77338 Construction 262887 ADP TotalSource 5800 Windward Pkwy Alpharetta GA 30005 Employee leasing 127714 2 8948 1616796 6183 1625744 Veterinary services 900099 3625772 3625772 3625772 3193 3193 0 0 0 0 7730 8948 9414 -1684 -1684 0 1185612 621926 563686 563686 0 5816711 4189458 1509 0 0 0 0 252690 99434 95845 57411 0 2323504 2131095 74555 117854 0 245460 208940 17763 18757 212135 184271 13634 14230 0 1600 1600 19823 19823 0 0 0 421094 373067 23747 24280 16096 50 1200 14846 309844 251469 21405 36970 146511 83255 17200 46056 0 304942 252618 27229 25095 41677 29694 6550 5433 0 0 0 0 99891 98683 1208 24473 17826 4137 2510 Dues & subscriptions 14416 13364 227 825 Other expenses 18747 13147 5600 Equipment purchases & repair 127084 119380 3619 4085 Veterinary medical supplies 1010051 1010051 0 5590038 4886344 329742 373952 41897 122845 646339 375101 214693 322218 82429 107549 0 0 0 109518 88262 23712 21469 1631076 661526 446718 969550 0 15000 15000 0 0 0 1580306 2021994 301475 516490 301475 516490 X 700025 1028106 578806 477398 1278831 1505504 1580306 2021994 226673 X false true X true false X 1368145 1087368 1200781 1027766 1625744 6309804 0 52800 52800 1368145 1087368 1200781 1027766 1678544 6362604 739671 5622933 8611 5806 2476 3404 3193 23490 0 0 6386094 20634492 0.88050 0.90290 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 590094 105553 484541 1040982 555973 485009 969550 5871761 55050 55050 5816711 5816711 5645088 55050 55050 5590038 5590038 false Annual Gala 16678 8948 7730 300 1063 2660 3881 1510 16678 8948 7730 300 1063 2660 3881 1510 9414 -1684 true X X X false false false false false false false false false false Mary Kate Lawler 151403 237 151640 Magda Serrano Offcr's sister 42293 Employee compensation false Form 990, Part VI, Line 19 Form 990, Part VI, Line 19: Other Organization Documents Publicly Available The organization does not make these documents available to the public.

Form 990, Part III, Line 4d Form 990, Part III, Line 4d: Other Program Services Description OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 4: Public education is one of the ways we accomplish our mission. We use all media to spread the word about spay-neuternewspapers, radio, TV, and the Internet. We also make personal contacts by participation in public events, networking meetings, and lectures/workshops. In San Antonio, flyer distribution in FY2013 totaled 21,409, by mail, email, and fax; posting; personal distribution at public events; and availability at our clinics. The total of personal contacts through thirteen lectures (730), three tours (350), and five public events (945) was 2,025. We made a presentation at West Avenue Apartments; participated in the Deiz 7 Seis de Septiembre parade; attended Career Day at Linton Elementary School, did another lecture/tour at South San Antonio High School Academy of Health Sciences; spoke to House of Teens, a nonprofit after school program for middle and high school students; and did a workshop at Soaring Heights Leadership Academy. Public events included Bark in the Park, Pucks for Paws night at the San Antonio Rampage hockey team game, the Petco 5K9 Walk/Run, the San Antonio Pet Expo, and the San Antonio chapter of the Texas Young Professionals meeting, where Dr. Lawler spoke and received a monetary award on behalf of SNAP. In Houston, in terms of outreach/education efforts, we distributed 31,129 calendars this year-by mail, fax, or email; posting at key locations; distribution by animal control officers; distribution to the media; and availability at the mobile clinic. Many of the calendars are delivered personally to health clinics, multi-service centers, WIC offices, Food Stamp offices, food pantries, etc., some two or three times a week, where staff or volunteers speak about our program directly with people who gather at these places, hand them a flyer, and enlist their aid in spreading the word about animal overpopulation and SNAP, thus creating 2,759 "neighborhood volunteers" in FY2013. The total number of outreach contacts in FY2013 was 2,819. Personal contacts made through networking and coordinating meetings certainly helped garner both support and work for the mobile clinic. Staff attended eighteen meetings, making fifty-six contacts. Media attention continued to be given to SNAP. We had good story coverage of our events for World Spay Day, our community cat program, and our trips to the Corridor in print, on TV and radio, and on the Internet, which are other outlets for SNAPs public education work. Univision puts our TNR events on its online calendar page, and we got into Semana, a Spanish language newspaper in the East End, the area of the project. Websites that regularly advertise our events are KTRHs Animal House, KHOUs Animal Attraction, World Spay Day, Houston SPCA, ASPCA, Houston Homeless Pet Placement League, Lovethatcat.com, eRescue Houston, This Week in Houston, Department of Health and Human Services, NeuterNeuter Land, Craigs List, Insider Pages, Texas Dogs and Cats, Best Friends, BARC, and Citizens for Animal Protection. Of special note is coverage by Houston Media Source (access television) of our first trip to Allen Parkway Village in November. Unfortunately, SNAP was contacted when we had no time for an interview. The broadcast used pictures taken during the trapping process and the sterilization day. The show was broadcast on November 29th at 6:30 P.M. on Comcast Channel 17. A total of 267 public service announcements were sent to relevant area newspapers on a regular basis. Of the twenty-three newspapers in Harris County's media guide, we regularly contacted eighteen that were appropriate for mobile clinic locations. Form 990, Part III, Line 2 Form 990, Part III, Line 2: New Services In November 2012, SNAP opened a new fixed spay-neuter and wellness clinic in Pasadena, Texas. It provides reduced-cost spays and neuters for cats and dogs as well as wellness services. It is open to the general public without qualifications. It also works with area shelters at a special discount and, through a voucher program, serves low-income people for free. In FY2013, this clinic performed 3,538 surgeries and saw 1,319 wellness patients.
