| FORM 990, PAGE 1, PART I, LINE 6 | WE HAVE ALWAYS HAD HUNDREDS OF VOLUNTEERS REGISTERED ON OUR VOLUNTEER PROGRAM BUT WE HAVE A HUGE EFFORT TO GROW OUR ACTIVE VOLUNTEER BASE WHICH HAS GROWN TO OVER 200 VOLUNTEERS ARE THE LIFELINE OF THE SPARTANBURG HUMANE SOCIETY. THESE DEDICATED MEMBERS OF OUR COMMUNITY WALK DOGS, HELP WITH VACCINE CLINICS, SHOWCASE DOGS AND CATS AT OUR ADOPTION EVENTS, DONATE ITEMS FOR OUR AUCTIONS, STUFF ENVELOPES WITH FUNDRAISING MATERIALS AND HELP IN ANY WAY POSSIBLE. ACTIVE VOLUNTEERS REDUCE OUR OVERALL EXPENSE LEVEL BY GREAT MARGINS AND REDUCE THE STRAIN ON OUR STAFF, ESPECIALLY WHEN WE HAVE EXCESSIVE NUMBERS OF ANIMALS IN OUR CARE. THE EFFECTS OF COVID HAVE FORCED THE SPARTANBURG HUMANE SOCIETY TO MAKE CHANGES IN OUR VOLUNTEER PROGRAM. WE HAVE HAD TO LIMIT THE INTERACTION WITH STAFF DRASTICALLY BUT BECUASE VOLUNTEERS ARE SO IMPORTANT TO THE CARE OF OUR ANIMALS, WE HAVE MADE CHANGES TO THE PROGRAM TO ALLOW VOLUNTEERS TO INTERACT WITH THE ANIMALS OUTSIDE THE FACILITY ONLY. WE HAVE CUT BACK OUR ADOPTION EVENTS DOWN TO ONLY EVENTS THAT COULD BE HELD OUTSIDE WHERE SAFE-DISTANCING CAN BE OBSERVED. |
| FORM 990, PAGE 2, PART III, LINE 4A | THE MISSION OF THE SPARTANBURG HUMANE SOCIETY IS TO PROVIDE QUALITY CARE TO LOST AND UNWANTED PETS WHILE RAISING COMMUNITY AWARENESS ABOUT ISSUES AFFECTING COMPANION ANIMALS. TO FULFULL THIS MISSION WE ENSURE THAT EVERY ANIMAL THAT LEAVES OUR BUILDING EITHER GOING INTO A HOME, A RESCUE GROUP, OR INTO A SANCTUARY HOME, IS SPAYED OR NEUTERED, IS FULLY VACCINATED AND MICROCHIPPED. WE VACCINATE EVERY SINGLE ANIMAL THAT ENTERS OUR DOORS WITH A MINIMUM OF 2 VACCINES. MANY RECEIVE MORE VACCINES DEPENDING ON THE AGE THAT THEY ARE WHEN THEY ENTER THE BUILDING. OF THE NEARLY 5,700 ANIMALS THAT WE ARE ABLE TO FIND HOMES FOR EACH YEAR, ALMOST 80% OF THESE ARE NOT SPAYED/NEUTERED AND MUST BE BEFORE LEAVING. BETWEEN OUTSOURCING OUR SPAY/NEUTER SURGERIES TO ANOTHER FACILITY AND PERFORMING THE MORE CHALLENGING SURGERIES HERE AT THE SPARTANBURG HUMANE SOCIETY, WE SPAY OR NEUTER NEARLY 3,700 ANIMALS EACH YEAR. OUR CLINIC VACCINATES NEARLY 10,000 ANIMALS EACH YEAR AND MICROCHIPS 3,500 EVERY YEAR. |
| FORM 990, PAGE 2, PART III, LINE 4B | THE SPARTANBURG COMMUNITY CONTINUES TO PRODUCE THOUSANDS OF UNWANTED ANIMALS EVERY YEAR. AS THE ONLY OPEN ADMISSION SHELTER IN THE COUNTY, THE SHS PROVIDES INTAKE FOR THE IMMEDIATE NEEDS OF DISPLACED ANIMALS AND OFFERS A SECOND CHANCE FOR PETS THAT CAN NO LONGER STAY IN THEIR HOMES. OVER 7,000 ANIMALS HOUSED. THROUGH OUR AGGRESSIVE ADOPTION PROGRAM AND INCREASING EVENTS WHERE WE CAN SHOWCASE OUR AVAILABLE ANIMALS WE ARE ABLE TO FIND MORE HOMES FOR ANIMALS THAN EVER BEFORE. OUR LIVE RELEASE RATE HAS DONE AN ABOUT FACE. WE ARE NOW RELEASING ANIMALS THROUGH ADOPTION AND RESCUE OBTAINING HOMES FOR 80% TO 90% OF OUR ANIMALS. FOR 2020 OUR LIVE RELEASE RATE IS NOW 99% FOR THE ENTIRE YEAR. PREVIOUSLY EUTHANIZED HEARTWORM POSITIVE ANIMALS ARE NOW BEING TREATED MEDICALLY AND ADOPTED INTO HOMES. WE ARE TREATING UP TO 15 ANIMALS WEEKLY FOR HEARTWORM DISEASE. HEARTWORM PREVENTATIVE MEDICATIONS ARE ABOUT 30% LESS AND WE OFFER A REDUCED RATE FOR OUR LOW INCOME CLIENTS. HEARTWORM PREVENTATIVE IS CRITICAL FOR ANIMALS IN THE SOUTH WITH SUCH A HIGH MOSQUITO POPULATION. WE ARE EDUCATING OUR ADOPTERS AS TO THE IMPORTANCE OF HEARTWORM PREVENTATIVE. EVERY SINGLE DAY WE CARE FOR WELL OVER 500 ANIMALS UNDER OUR ONE SINGLE ROOF AND DURING THE HEIGHT OF INTAKE SEASON, WE OFTEN HOUSE NEARLY 600 ANIMALS IN OUR CARE. WITH AN INTEGRATED MARKETING PROGRAM COUPLED WITH OUR OPEN ADOPTION PROGRAM WE ARE ABLE TO REDUCE OUR LENGTH OF STAY FROM 59 DAYS TO JUST UNDER 48 DAYS TOPPING OUR SET GOAL OF 20% TO 24%. THE SPARTANBURG HUMANE SOCIETY WORKS WITH LOCAL, REGIONAL AND NATIONAL RESCUE GROUPS, WHICH WE REFER TO AS PLACEMENT PARTNERS. OUR GOAL IS TO IDENTIFY ANIMALS WHO COMPLEMENT PARTNER RESOURCES. |
