Overview
Mission
Clark county humane society (cchs) is dedicated to promoting a more humane world through: operating a no-kill shelter, adopting out homeless cats & dogs, low cost spay/neuter services, humane education, reducing pet overpopulation, assisting area residents with pet problems, and alleviating animal suffering whenever possible.
What it reported doing in 2024
Cat and dog surrenders: animals surrendered to cchs by owners unable to keep their pets. Perhaps the family is moving, allergies have developed in the family, or there is a change in family dynamics, for example a divorce or a new baby. Regardless of the reason, cchs tries to best help individuals with their pet problems. If the problem cannot be resolved, cchs accepts the animals in need and will work to find a new home for the pet. Microchipping: cchs provides microchipping services to the public at a reduced cost. We feel this truly helps people to care for their pets and certainly enables lost pets to return home safely and in a timely fashion. All pets adopted from cchs, both dogs and cats, are microchipped prior to adoption. All stray pets are also microchipped prior to being returned to their families. Stray holding facility: cchs acts as the holding facility for stray dogs and cats. These pets are held for the appropriate legal holding time to enable their owners the opportunity to find them and reclaim them. During 2024, 27 animals were returned to their owners. All unclaimed strays became available for adoption to new families.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
The verdict
STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised and expenses are high relative to revenue.
