| FORM 990 - ORGANIZATION'S MISSION | THE HUMANE SOCIETY FOR GREATER SAVANNAH, INC. (THE ORGANIZATION) IS A NOT- FOR-PROFIT ORGANIZATION DEDICATED TO THE WELFARE OF COMPANION ANIMALS AND THEIR OWNERS. THE ORGANIZATION SERVES AS A SAFETY NET FOR PET OWNERS BY ACCEPTING PETS, VOLUNTARILY SURRENDERED BY THEIR OWNERS, WHO FOR VARIOUS REASONS ARE NO LONGER ABLE TO CARE FOR THEM. THE ORGANIZATION ALSO TRANSFERS UNCLAIMED, ADOPTABLE ANIMALS FROM SAVANNAH CHATHAM ANIMAL CONTROL. THE ORGANIZATION'S PURPOSE IS EMBODIED IN ITS MISSION STATEMENT. "THE MISSION OF THE HUMANE SOCIETY FOR GREATER SAVANNAH IS TO BETTER THE LIVES OF PETS AND PEOPLE. THE HUMANE SOCIETY FOR GREATER SAVANNAH ENVISIONS A COMMUNITY THAT UNDERSTANDS, VALUES AND PROMOTES THE WAYS IN WHICH PETS ENRICH OUR LIVES." THE PRINCIPAL SERVICES THE ORGANIZATION PROVIDES FOR PETS SURRENDERED TO ITS CARE INCLUDE: SHELTERING, FEEDING; TREATMENT; PREVENTATIVE MEDICAL CARE, E.G. HEALTH EVALUATIONS AND VACCINATIONS, INCLUDING RABIES; BEHAVIOR ASSESSMENT; EXERCISE AND SOCIALIZATION; STERILIZATION; AND RE-HOMING WITH ADOPTION COUNSELING. ALL ADOPTIONS INCLUDE ON-GOING SUPPORT AND FOLLOW- UP. FREE TRAINING CLASSES ARE PROVIDED TO ALL DOG ADOPTERS AND THEIR DOGS. SERVICES PROVIDED TO THE PUBLIC INCLUDE: LOW-COST SPAY/NEUTER SURGERY AS WELL AS VACCINE AND MICROCHIPPING CLINICS. THE ORGANIZATION ALSO COLLABORATES WITH OTHER LOCAL ANIMAL WELFARE GROUPS AND WITH REGIONAL ORGANIZATIONS; I.E. ASHVILLE HUMANE SOCIETY, CHARLESTON ANIMAL SOCIETY AND HUMANE SOCIETY OF SOUTH COAST GEORGIA. IMPORTANTLY, THE ORGANIZATION SUPPORTS THE ANIMAL WELFARE NEEDS OF THE COMMUNITY BY ACCEPTING THE TRANSFER OF MORE THAN 400 ADOPTABLE ANIMALS FROM SAVANNAH CHATHAM COUNTY ANIMAL CONTROL EACH YEAR. THE ORGANIZATION IS INVOLVED IN ISSUES OF COMPANION ANIMAL ADVOCACY. IT ALSO PROVIDES ADVICE AND ASSISTANCE TO CHATHAM COUNTY EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT AGENCY (CEMA) ON TOPICS PERTAINING TO PET MANAGEMENT IN DISASTERS INCLUDING HURRICANE EVACUATION. IN EARLY 2016, PET FIX SAVANNAH WAS OPENED. THIS IS A CLINIC LOCATED ON THE ORGANIZATION'S CAMPUS THAT OFFERS LOW COST SPAY AND NEUTERING SERVICES TO THE PUBLIC. THE CLINIC PROVIDES ADDITIONAL SERVICES SUCH AS MICROCHIPPING, RABIES SHOTS, AND HEARTWORM TESTING. THE CLINIC IS OPEN FOUR DAYS PER WEEK. OVER 300 VOLUNTEERS (14 YEARS AND OLDER) SUPPORT THE HUMANE SOCIETY WITH SHELTER ACTIVITIES LIKE DOG WALKING, CAT SOCIALIZATION AND DOG ENRICHMENT, AS WELL AS AT SPECIAL EVENTS. IN AUGUST, 2014, THE ORGANIZATION INTRODUCED NUZZLE BUDDIES, A "READING OUT LOUD" TO PETS PROGRAM FOR CHILDREN 7 TO 13 YEARS OLD THAT HAS ACHIEVED IMMEDIATE SUCCESS. THE ORGANIZATION IS FUNDED THROUGH GIFTS AND BEQUESTS, CONTRIBUTIONS, FUNDRAISING, SPECIAL EVENTS, GRANTS AND AWARDS, SALES OF PETS ACCESSORIES (COLLARS, LEASHES, AND TOYS), CONTRIBUTIONS FROM "HSSC THRIFT SHOP, INC.", AS WELL AS PROGRAM FEES (SURRENDERS, ADOPTIONS,SPAY/NEUTER SURGERIES, MICROCHIPPING AND VACCINATIONS). THE ORGANIZATION IS INDEPENDENT AND UNAFFILIATED WITH ANY NATIONAL ANIMAL WELFARE ORGANIZATION, E.G. THE HUMANE SOCIETY OF THE UNITED STATES. |
