BACKGROUND & NEEDS Impact Statement The Humane Society of Manatee County is committed to leading Manatee County in fostering compassion and respect for animals through care, education and collaboration. Humane Society of Manatee County actively collaborates with other animal welfare groups in our community to reduce euthanasia of animals as a means of population control. Our high volume spay / neuter clinic performs over 6000 surgeries per year, which continues to reduce the number of animals entering the shelters in Manatee County. Low cost / no cost spay and neuter surgeries and low cost vaccine clinics continue to be core programs in our veterinary clinic. Our Second Chance Adoption program placed 755 cats and dogs in new homes in the past year. Many of these animals had faced medical challenges including needed surgeries, heartworm treatment or extraordinary medical care. The HSMC Pet Food Pantry continues to distribute in excess of 2600 pounds of cat & dog food yearly to the financially challenged pet owners in Manatee County. HSMC and Turning Points also collaborate on stocking a pet food pantry at Turning Points facility. In addition to the many low- to- moderate cost or no cost services available at our veterinary clinic, the clinic is open to the general public. Our wellness program continues to grow and expand. A second veterinarian was added to our medical team in September of 2016. We have also added dental procedures, and digital radiology (x-ray) capability to our services so more animals can receive the quality medical care they deserve. From October 1, 2017 through September 31, 2018 more than 11,434 animals were served at the veterinary clinic including 6,394 spay and neuter surgeries. Expanding beyond high volume spay and neuter services and vaccines the clinic has added wellness services, dental procedures and minor surgeries. Services continue to be expanded or added to meet the growing and changing needs of the community's dogs and cats. Needs Statement There is an increasing need in our community to provide low-to-moderate cost veterinary services. Our community has a large financially challenged population that continues to grow and many of these families have companion animals in need of veterinary care. Many families simply can not afford the costs for care at privately owned or corporate veterinary clinics and hospitals. The financial barrier means that the animals are not receiving the medical care they need and deserve, and in some cases animals are surrendered to shelters because their owners simply can not afford to provide medical care.the Humane Society of Manatee County can provide no cost or low cost surgeries for cats and dogs because of grants, funds received from donors and other subsidized programs. Our veterinary clinic's pricing structure makes high quality veterinary care and wellness services available to all animal owners in Manatee County and there are many options available to help further offset the cost of the care in financial hardship cases.the proposed expansion of veterinary services offered at the Humane Society of Manatee County Veterinary Clinic involve increased staffing levels, an upgrade to in-house medical testing equipment, new clinic software and a marketing campaign. The cost of the additional staffing levels is currently projected at $140,000.00 which includes salaries for one additional staff veterinarian and an additional vet tech. Background Statement Humane Society of Manatee County is a 501(c)3 not-for-profit animal welfare organization that was originally formed in 1970, and today is regarded as the lead animal welfare agency in Manatee County. A nine (9) member Board of Directors has oversight of the organization, create strategic plans and policies, plans for the future, approving an annual budget and ensures that accountability and transparency exist within the organizations financials. The Humane Society of Manatee County operates a shelter, the Second Chance Adoption Center and a veterinary clinic / high volume spay and neuter clinic located at 2415-2515 14th Street W. in Bradenton. Each year the Second Chance Adoption Center re-homes more than 755 dogs and cats through adoptions. Many of the animals that enter our Second Chance Adoption Program are medically challenged or have behavioral issues. Each animal receives the highest quality of care including medical treatment and behavioral training to complete the rehabilitation process and becoming adoptable. A vibrant and growing team of volunteers and fosters provide additional support and care for the animals. In 2018, our Veterinary Clinic performed 6,394 spay/neuter surgeries and provided wellness exams to more than 4,807 dogs 2
and cats. Our ability to provide these high quality/low to moderate cost services is possible because of generous donations. We will continue to expand services to make sure all animals in Manatee County receive the medical care they deserve. We are also proud to report that your support helps us to find homes for hundreds of homeless animals in addition to providing much needed medical services to many of them. In our last fiscal year over 755 animals found their forever home. Statement from the Board Chair The Humane Society of Manatee County is an organization bustling with activity. That is a good thing because there is so much work to do here, on behalf of the animals. Reducing the number of homeless animals and relieving the overcrowding of local shelters by continuing our high volume spay and neuter program remains a priority. Florida Animal Friends estimates that there are 47,000 homeless cats alone in Manatee County. In recent conversations with those on the front lines, we have learned that the feral cat colonies are growing in numbers despite an extraordinary TNR (Trap-Neuter-Return) program that engages multiple agencies and fellow animal welfare organizations. TNR is just part of the solution. Our shelter s dedicated volunteers and staff are hard at work on the other end of the problem, too. They are breaking adoption records, managing outreach, collaborating with partners, and using all their skill and passion to find the right home for each dog and cat housed at our Second Chance Adoption shelter. Meanwhile, rates of disease are on the rise for pets across Florida and the U.S. We are fortunate at the Humane Society of Manatee County Veterinary Clinic employs dedicated and highly talented surgery and wellness veterinarians and staff who see to the care and wellness of both our shelter animals and our client s pets. These are but a few of the issues this organization is focused on. As the population of Manatee County continues its brisk growth so too must this organization evolve to be prepared to meet them. This includes; Modernize and expand our volunteer programs Continuously improve clinic staff skills, training, protocols, and upgrade equipment Reimagine our development efforts Provide an extraordinary workplace to retain extraordinary staff Expand our community outreach programs including vaccine clinics, low-cost spay/neuter, heartworm treatments, and low- to- moderate-cost wellness visits for our valued clients. Our Board of Directors, board committee members, staff and volunteers are working to grow and expand this organization to meet these challenges through 2019 and beyond. This dedication has begun to pay off as in 2018 the Humane Society of Manatee County was recognized as the Small Business of The Year (non-profit) by the Manatee Chamber of Commerce, and we very proudly earned our third consecutive year Four Star Rating by Charity Navigator. Yet there is still much work to be done. The challenges continue, but the Humane Society of Manatee County with continued support from our community, donors, staff, and volunteers will be ready. Respectfully, David Smith President of the Board of Directors Statement from the CEO/Executive Director Philanthropy abounds in Manatee County and Sarasota County year after year as donors, supporters and the business community continue to support hundreds of area non-profits. This support has not only allowed the Humane Society of Manatee County to continue our life saving mission based work on behalf of the animals, but has allowed for an expansion of services. In addition to re-homing more than 1000 cats and dogs each year through our Second Chance Adoption Program, Humane Society of Manatee County s Pet Retention Program works to keep animal companions and their human families together. Pet retention programs include a cat and dog food pantry, behavioral training assistance and low-to-moderate cost veterinary services. The Humane Society of Manatee County recently participated in The Patterson Foundation s Margin & Mission Ignition initiative to implement earned income strategies through an expansion of veterinary services that strengthen mission impact. Our communities have a large financially challenged population who own animals and these families struggle to provide veterinary care for their animals. Humane Society of Manatee County continues to provide much needed low-to-moderate cost veterinary services and low cost / no cost spay and neuter surgeries, microchips and vaccines. There are a vast number of ways to support the Humane Society of Manatee County financially as well as volunteering your time. One time donations, monthly giving, match campaigns, Giving Tuesday participation, appeal letter donations and Legacy Giving are the most common monetary donation methods but there are also restricted funds like the Angel Fund, which provides funding to help financially challenged owners get their animals the veterinary care they need for emergency cases. Online donations can be made by going to www.humanemanatee.org and donations can be mailed to 2515 14th Street W. Bradenton, Florida 34205. Humane Society of Manatee County s strong financial health and commitment to 3
accountability and transparency have earned it a 4-star rating from Charity Navigator for the third consecutive year.

PROGRAMS Low Cost Spay/Neuter Description We provide low-to-moderate cost spay and neuter services to the general public.in addition to low-to-moderate cost spay and neuter services no cost spay and neuter services are offered throughout the year that are funded by grants. Manatee County provides limited funding for services for low income families each year. HSMC also provides low-to-moderate cost vaccine clinics bi-monthly for cats and dogs.

Our goal is to reduce the number of homeless animals and overcrowded shelters in Manatee County by spaying and neutering. This will reduce unwanted litters who historically end up in the county shelter. An active TNR (trap neuter return) program also reduces the number of feral cats in the county through attrition. Our goal is to make Manatee County a "Humane Community" where every adoptable animal has a loving home. Reporting by Humane Society, Animal Services and Bishop SPCA in accordance with Asilomar accords to monitor euthanasia rates in the county. Success will be measured by the reduced number of euthanasia in our county (2018 save rate at Manatee County Animal Services Shelter was 93%) because there will be less animals entering our county shelter system. 5
Second Chance Adoptions Description Humane Society of Manatee County s Second Chance Adoption Shelter found new homes for 753 cats and dogs in 2018. Many of the animals arriving at our shelter have medical and behavioral issues and truly need a second chance. Our shelter staff and medical team work with each animal to prepare them for adoption. All animals adopted into new homes are spayed / neutered and fully vaccinated and all dogs receive heartworm prevention meds.

We frequently receive updated success stories from our adoptive families with pictures and narratives of how happy they are with their new pet. 6
Pet Food Pantry Description Humane Society of Manatee County Pet Food Pantry provides dog and cat food to pet owners experiencing temporary economic challenges to ensure their animal companions can stay with their families. Low income families, senior citizens and young working families all have visited our Pet Food Pantry in times of need. In 2018 over 2000lbs of cat and dog food was distributed to those in need.all of the pet food distributed through the Pet Food Pantry is food that was donated by our community.

Pet retention programs are vital to our community so that pets and their human families can stay together and pets not ending up in our county shelter population. We monitor the amount of food distributed and the number of animals helped. There are many instances of owners telling us that they would have to give up their pets if it weren't for the food we provide. We also have those people who recover from their circumstances and become food donors themselves. 7
TNR (Trap/Neuter/Return) Description Humane Society of Manatee County collaborates with members of our community and other animal welfare agencies in Manatee County in providing spay and neuter services for feral (free-roaming) cats. The TNR (trap-neuter-return) program in addition to spay and neuter includes vaccines, and identifying ear tipping. We make feral traps available through a loaner program for community members volunteering to assist in trapping unaltered cats. TNR is the proven humane solution to control the population of feral (free-roaming) cats in the community. Budget $30,000.00 Category Program Linked to Organizational Strategy Population Served Short Term Success Long Term Success Program Success Monitoring Program Success Examples Animal-Related, General/Other Animal Control General/Unspecified General/Unspecified General/Unspecified Spaying and neutering cats provides immediate health benefits to each animal, injured cats get the medical care the need and all cats in the program receive vaccines. Humanely controlling the population (and preventing over-population) is the main goal of the TNR program but it is equally important to provide vaccines which provide for a healthier cat and human population. With strong partnerships and collaborations, organizations who trap are able to identify areas of potential over population, share locations and estimated numbers, need for additional assistance. We track success of the program based on the number of surgeries we have performed. TNR works - the Breeding stops. Populations are gradually reduced through attrition. In 2018 the Humane Society of Manatee County Veterinary Clinic spay/neutered and vaccinated 1100 feral cats. We are tightly aligned with all of the organizations that trap feral cats. With strong partnership and collaboration, we expect an increase in the number of feral cats we treat and a decrease in over population of feral (freeroaming) cats in Manatee County.One single unaltered female cat and her offspring can produce 37,000 kittens over an eight (8) year time period. 8

In-kind services and volunteered hours are both listed as expenses on our 990 Form, as per IRS regulations. Reserves are all invested in carefully chosen stocks and bonds with two investment firms. Our shelter runs at a deficit each year as we continue to serve animals with special needs and with medical challenges that many others would not provide the proper care for. Our adoption fees are very modest and on average are $75.00 per animal, even though many of these animals care costs in excess of $500.00. The Pet Health Center, which opened in September of 2015 is now starting to provide a revenue stream which means that the shelter will have added financial support over and above donations and grants. In 2016, we are adding a second Veterinarian to our staff to provide wellness services to our animal clients adding to the spay / neuter programs, vaccines and heartworm treatment currently being offered. In 2016 we also added dental services for our canine clients and x- ray equipment which will cut expenditures of sending shelter animals out for costly e-ray procedures and the equipment will also add to our revenue stream. The Humane Society of Manatee County is committed to leading the community in fostering compassion and respect for animals through care, education and collaboration. We are committed to providing quality medical services to every animal in Manatee County and many times that means at no cost or low cost to those struggling through hard economic times. Every program and service offered helps to save the lives of homeless animals, medically challenged animals and offers affordable care to all dogs and cats in Manatee County.
