Mission & Impact Statements Mission The Humane Society of Lincoln County is a non-profit 501c3 organization. Our mission is to operate the animal shelter, reduce the overpopulation of cats and dog through partnership with local vets and spay/neuter clinics, educate the population on responsible animal ownership, seek justice for animal cruelty offenders, and ensure the proper and humane treatment of all animals. Our organization is also responsible for animal control for the City of Fayetteville and Lincoln County, TN. At this time there are no government entities that exists for this need. Background The HSLC was formed in 1985 by citizens distressed over the conditions at the local animal pound and concerned about the needs of orphaned, neglected and abused animals in the city and county. We began with a handful of people who wanted to make a difference and now we have a staff of eight, dozens of volunteers and an active board of directors. The HSLC took over the operation of the Fayetteville-Lincoln County Animal Shelter and the investigation of all animal cruelty cases.adoption fees range from $75.00 - $150.00 depending on the animal. The fees help fund flea prevention, inoculations and spay/neuter surgery. It is not enough, however, to cover staff salaries, equipment purchases, and shelter maintenance and overhead that any other business would incur. With Limited Admission, animals stay longer - an average of 24 days - so the HSLC doesn't always break even. With the grants received, our shelter has been able to spay and neuter nearly all animals before adoption, which contributes greatly to our goal of euthanasia rates in the single digits by 2019. The HSLC has also inherited the duty of animal control for the city and county, which adds to our payroll costs, and overhead expenses. This may change in the future but as of this date, there is no other government department that is equipped to manage animal control in Lincoln County. This is a much needed effort in relation to law enforcement agencies and public welfare, and as a humane entity, we will continue to support our citizens in this capacity until we are no longer able to do so. 2

Impact Accomplishments:The HSLC, like many non profits, is in constant mode of fund raising. We continue to keep the Animal Shelter operational and to adhere to the strict health standards we have set for ourselves. Thankfully, we made it through another year.1. Limited Admission -The HSLC Animal Shelter was once known as a "high kill" shelter. That has slowly evolved into a "limited admission" Animal Shelter, which has taken much effort over the years. We no longer euthanize animals for lack of space. An animal is only euthanized if it is seriously injured, very sick, or exhibits behavioral issues that make it unadoptable, such as aggression toward people or other animals. However, there is a down side to this effort, as we occasionally have to turn away animals due to lack of space. It's sometimes frustrating to explain to a client that we cannot put five dogs in a pen or add another to outdoor runs without risking the health and safety of the other animals, as well as the staff. The Shelter staff have more time to find Shelter animals their new forever home by taking advantage of several sites that promote adoption, such as Petpoint, local pro bono advertising and off site adoptions and rescue sites.. We have the awesome figures to prove that we are making a difference. In 2017, the "live release rate" or the percentage of animals that leave our shelter for new homes is 91% for dogs and 96% for cats. The HSLC truly operates an animal "Shelter".2. Education of Shelter Staff and Volunteers. Three staff members and two board members attended The Tennessee Animal Care & Control Conference in Chattanooga, in August 2017, sponsored by the University of TN Veterinarian College. The group learned a great deal about animal behavior, sanitation, grant writing, mental "burnout", to mention just a few topics. We hope to be able to continue climbing to new levels of expertise through education and awareness. We strive to maintain our high standards of care and commitment to our animals and to the public.goals: 1. The primary goal for 2018-19 is to continue our efforts to find new homes for adult Shelter animals. Everyone loves kittens and puppies. It shows because they get adopted quickly. But what about those older cats, mature dogs or special needs animals? The HSLC is exploring new ways to show those critters off by using as many adoption sites as possible to showcase our animals, including weekly postings in the local paper and local television advertising, accomplished through the generosity of our local newspaper, THe Elk Valley Times, and local cable network, Fayetteville Public Utilities.. We also have several volunteers that travel to larger markets to "Pet Adoption Events". This has been most successful with more mature dogs, which is time consuming, but very effective and rewarding.2. Educate and assist pet owners: Since a low-cost spay/neuter clinic opened in Lincoln County, the HSLC has publicized their availability and even received grant funding to help low income pet owners have their pets "fixed" at a discount at the clinic. In 2017, the HSLC saw fewer demands to admit puppies than in past years. Kitten season in the spring is always a challenge, but we are continuing to experience the efforts from our local spay/neuter clinic (Southern Alliance S/N Clinic), which has performed over 11,000 surgeries since May of 2013!Educating the local population on the health and behavioral benefits of spay/neuter surgery and helping those owners who can't afford it are keys to reducing the number of unwanted cats and dogs in Lincoln County. The HSLC will continue to educate pet owners and find ways to help those in financial need through grant writing and donations.3. Organize our volunteers: The HSLC routinely gets requests from individuals who would like to volunteer at our Shelter. One goal this year is to conduct Volunteer Orientation Sessions and enlist the assistance of willing folks to help train and socialize our adult animals, learn the strict sanitation protocols we use to keep animals healthy, and help with offsite adoptions of our older dogs. Because fund raisers are a fact of life, we actively recruit volunteers for that as well. We hold more fund raisers than any other non profit in our area, with an average of 8-10 per year. It may be a casserole sale, luncheon, road block, BBQ sale, yard sale, or anything else that we think will help with our mission. We also attend many cultural and educational activities in our community such as Host of Christmas Past, Art in the Park and The Slawburger Festival. These are other ways we maintain our visibility in the community, and increase our adoptions as well! 3

Needs 1. A renewable funding source for a spay/neuter programs. What is needed is a funding source that would allow the HSLC to continue to offer surgery discounts & assist with getting more animals "fixed". Grant writing & research is a very important piece of the puzzle, & finding talented folks for grant writing is a constant struggle.2. Improve Shelter Facilities. Our hope is to be able to continually improve our facility, but with limited funds, we are forced to rely on the love & generosity of the public & private sector to make a difference.3. Transportation. Our greatest limitation is the lack of transportation for off site needs. We have recently partnered with PAWS Chicago Rescue to transport animals to other areas of the country, but we lack a reliable method of transport & therefore have to rent a cargo van to make the trip with enough pets to support the time & travel. 4. Training & networking. Attending seminars & conventions is another way to keep in touch with this base of organizations, but fees, housing, meals & transportation can make this prohibitive in lean financial times.5. Increasing Government Funding. With an annual budget of $270,000, the HSLC receives less than a third of our funds from city and county dollars for animal control and humane efforts. Other ways to donate, support, or volunteer Interested parties can donate by 1. logging into the HSLC website and donating via PayPal, 2. mailing a check, or 3. stopping at the Shelter to donate money, cleaning and office supplies, pet care products and etc. The HSLC can always use volunteers willing to foster, take Shelter dogs for a walk, or cuddle some adorable cats. Service Categories Primary Organization Category Animal Related / Animal Protection & Welfare Secondary Organization Category Animal Related / Fund Raising & Fund Distribution Tertiary Organization Category Animal Related / Wildlife Preservation & Protection Areas of Service Areas Served TN - Lincoln We primarily serve Fayetteville and all of Lincoln County, TN. HSLC Shelter staff and volunteers also work with shelters, clinics, animal control agencies and rescues in adjacent counties to educate and exchange information and ideas regarding the safeguard health and placing of shelter animals. Board Chair Statement It takes all types of people to become involved in a organization that is at many times emotional beyond words. Seeing the abuse and neglect of an animal is heartbreaking, but knowing that we can take an abused animal that has been chained to a tree for most of it's life, rehabilitate that animal and watching it go to a forever home is one of the most rewarding events in my life. Our efforts strive to educate the public as to the overpopulation of pets, and in our community, we do have options for low income families to have their pet spayed /neutered, whether through grants or via the local low cost spay/neuter clinic. Since it's inception in May of 2013, the Southern Alliance Spay Neuter Clinic has performed over 11,000 surgeries. With a county population of over 37,000 people, that's quite a feat. We are proud to have them as a partner, as we have been impacted by reduced intake numbers over the past years due to their efforts. The challenges will always be finding money to pay for all the expenses involved with keeping animal happy and healthy until adoption. As a member for over 15 years, I have gained more forever friends than through any other organization I have ever been a part of. We are a family of many, but lasting relationships are hard to find. I'm thankful that I have found mine. Forever. 4

CEO Statement The Humane Society of Lincoln County operates a "Limited Admission" Animal Shelter. It is no longer considered a "Dog Pound". It is truly a Shelter, a haven for the unwanted, abandoned, and sometimes cruelly treated animals we care for. The HSLC Animal Shelter will never be a "No Kill" Shelter because we get too many sick, injured animals or those with behavioral issues - but we are pretty close. Our live release rate for 2017 was worth shouting about and we are so proud of the hard work of all our shelter staff. Their dedication and compassion are one of the many reasons we continue to do what we do! Developing an active board of directors and individuals who are truly dedicated to our causes and missions is truly a continuing success for us. 5

Programs Programs Inoculation Program Description Providing adequate medical care to ensure crowded shelter animals remain healthy and adoptable is a challenge. To ensure their health, the HSLC inoculates all admitted animals against communicable diseases: dogs receive a 5-in-1 shot and a dose of worming medication; cats receive a 3-in-1 vaccination. Flea and tick control is also used through out their stay at the shelter. Heart worm testing is given to a majority of our dogs. We are able to provide this on a fairly consistent basis as funding for testing and medication has been more consistent than in the past. Puppies and kittens are kenneled separately from adults to give their immune systems a chance to develop and fight off communicable diseases. Since the beginning of this program in late 2005, the HSLC has seen a noticeable reduction in the occurance of communicable diseases at our Shelter. Keeping animals healthy so they can find new homes makes this program well worth the effort and expense. Budget 22000 Category Population Served Short Term Success Animal-Related, General/Other Animal Protection & Welfare Adults, Poor,Economically Disadvantaged,Indigent, Families Our goal of a 95% placement rate will depend on many factors which include:1. Educating the public regarding the benefits of spay/neuter of pets through pro bono media sources and constant community outreach;2. The ability of the HS and spay/neuter clinic to continue to apply and receive grant funding through many national and local resources such;3. Continuing education for our shelter staff and Directors relative to vaccines, sanitation, equipment, local and state laws, grant writing, etc;4. Continued networking with rescue partners, both locally and nationally (corporate);5. Because we are the Animal Control entity for our community, cooperating with local government with assistance in funding and support, (Fayetteville Police, Lincoln County Sheriff, Highway Patrol, Wildlife Agency along with the City Aldermen and Mayor and County Commissioners and Mayor) is an important factor in achieving our results;6. Fostering and maintaining an active and insightful Board of Directors to further our mission is a very integral part of a successful organization. We have a very diverse group who work very well together and has continued to move us forward. 6

Long term Success Program Success Monitored By In 2008, the Humane Society of Lincoln County (HS) took in 4,023 dogs, puppies, cats and kittens, along with many other assorted critters. At that time, the shelter could only house about 40 animals, and the euthanasia rate was well above 60%. Between 2008 and 2016, the HS invested in many improvements to the shelter to add additional housing and increasing the capacity to 100 + animals, while at the same time created and participated in numerous rescue programs and partnerships (PetSmart Rescue Waggin', SAILing, PAWS Chicago, along with many local and regional rescue organizations) to dramatically increase the placement of our shelter animals and reduce euthanasia rates. Those efforts in conjunction with the dedication of our local spay/neuter clinic have resulted in the euthanasia rate being at an all time low of 11%.Between 2008 and 2017, approximately 13,500 animals have been saved as a result of the hard work and commitment of the shelter staff, volunteers and Board of Directors. That is something to be proud of and we are looking forward to continuing our goal of 95% adoption rates by 2019. The number of animals brought to our shelter or picked up as a Humane effort by our organization continues to decline. This is attributed to a greater effort to enlighten the community as to the need to reduce the pet population through spaying and neutering, and the positive qualities of adopting a pet as opposed to buying from breeders. It also reflects the hard work and dedication of our staff and volunteers who help train and socialize our animals for greater adoption possibilities. Our shelter uses Petpoint to tract results, and is a useful tool for following intake, adoptions, rescue, return to owner and euthanasia rates. 7

Adoption Program Description There are several components to the Pet Adoption Program. They include:1. All Shelter animals are featured on the HSLC's website listed under the PetFinder.com site. This website includes their photos and biographies. This information is also transmitted to over a dozen different pet adoption websites to give the animals nation-wide visibility and a better chance for adoption.2. Pet Sense Adoption HSLC Volunteers transport Shelter cats 25 miles to the PetSense store in Tullahoma, TN where they are featured for adoption.3. Off Site Adoption Events - HSLC volunteers regularly take adult dogs and some puppies to various locations, i.e. local festivals, Pet Sense Store, PetSmart Store, to show them off and hopefully find them a new home. Adult dogs are often overlooked at the Shelter. Off Site Adoptions help them gain visibility, socialize them, and give them a little leash training as well. 4. Veterans and First Responder discounts - We give US Veterans and First Responders discounted or waive fees for pet adoptions with current ID. Our board feels as though this is a small way of paying back those that serve us, and with the increased awareness of PTSD, pets have been proven to be a calming factor in many instances Budget 1000 Category Animal-Related, General/Other Animal Ownership Population Served Adults,, Short Term Success The Humane Society has recently been accepted as a rescue partner with the ASPCA, which will greatly increase our transport and rescue numbers. Our first transport will be in May of 2018, and we are looking forward to working with such a well respected organization. In the first quarter of 2018, the Society also partnered with PAWS Chicago, resulting a two transports of 45 dogs and puppies. Our plans are to make this program a long term success, but because we rarely receive an adoption fee, the burden of a majority of the costs are placed on the Humane Society. However, there are several grants that will help offset this funding, for which our volunteer grant writers have applied. We are hopeful! Long term Success In 2008 the Humane Society of Lincoln County (HSLC) took in 4,023 dogs, puppies, cats, kittens and various other critters through the shelter. At that time, the shelter could only house about 40 animals, and the euthanasia rate was well above 60%. Between 2008 and 2016, the HSLC invested in improvements that added additional housing to increase the capacity to 100+ animals, while at the same time created and participated in numerous rescue programs and partnerships (PetSmart Rescue Waggin', SAILing, PAWS Chicago, Northshore Rescue) to dramatically increase the placement of animals and reduce the number of adoptable animals that had to be euthanized. Those efforts in conjunction with the local spay/neuter clinic have resulted in the euthanasia rate in 2016 being at an all time low of 11%. We continue to improve these odds, and our goal is to further increase the adoption rate to 95% by 2020. 8

Program Success Monitored By Petpoint is our main source for monitoring our shelter intake, adoptions, rescues or transfers out, returned to owner, euthanasia and died in shelter numbers. By having a consistent and reliable tracking method, we are able to pull information on a weekly, monthly and annually. Historical information is also available, such as age, sex, breed, length of stay, alter information, etc. The animal can be followed from initial intake until it leaves the shelter, which provides valuable data for our organization. Examples of Program Success In 2017, the Humane Society accepted 857 animals and adopted out 563, which resulted in a live release rate of 91%. Our euthanasia rates continue to drop, and although we will never achieve 100% adoptions (because of issues outside our control), we are very proud of the direction in which we are headed. Returned to owner amounted to 74 animals, and 117 were transported out or rescued. Unfortunately, 78 were euthanized (mainly due to health issues, injuries that we could not afford to treat, or aggressive and/or behavioral concerns). Re-Unite Pets and Owner Program Description Every effort is made to try to locate the owner of a cat or dog if it is wearing some type of identification. The Shelter also has a universal micro-chip scanner and routinely scans animals admitted as strays. When identification is found, either an ID tag, rabies, tag, or micro-chip, Shelter Staff dilegently try to locate the owner to let them know that there pet is safe. Budget 500 Category Population Served Animal-Related Animal Ownership Adults, Aging/Elderly/Senior Citizens, 9

BFF (Best Foster Friend) Description Category BFF, started in 2014, encourages locals to foster a cat, dog, litter of kittens until the Shelter staff can find them new homes. In some cases an animal is recovering from an illness and needs a quiet place to recover, is pregnant and needs a place to give birth, or is experiencing shelter stress and needs a break. Animals can be fostered for a few days or a few weeks. Potential adopters can foster an animal while they ascertain whether it is a good match for their family. Animal-Related, General/Other Animal Ownership Population Served Families,, Short Term Success The BFF program has helped kittens too young to be adopted, dogs with new born puppies, dogs recovering from heartworm, and dogs needing socialization, training, or a break from the shelter. It has freed up Shelter space so the HSLC can help more animals. Long term Success Ideally, it would be wonderful if no animal had to spend more than a week or two at the Shelter. Fostering has proven to be beneficial for both the animals and the foster caregivers. It has helped to promote the HSLC's Shelter and our mission. It has saved lives helped find new homes for Shelter animals. Program Success Monitored By The success of the BFF program can be measured by the positive feedback the HSLC receives from the foster guardians and the public at large. If anything, the HSLC would like to recruit more foster caregivers. To this end, volunteers pass out fostering literature at every event they attend. Examples of Program Success The Big Kahuna - found behind the Kahuna meat market and tested positive for heartworm. Kahuna, a 3 year old Chihuahua mix, needed extreme quiet while undergoing the heartworm cure. He was fostered by a family with a wheelchair bound son. Kahuna and Blake spent a lot of time together. When he was cured, Kahuna came back to the Shelter and was quickly adopted.reilly, a rambunctious lab mix, was fostered by a woman willing to put some time into socializing him and teaching basic manners. A gorgeous boy, he was quickly adopted by a family who watched the woman training him in downtown Fayetteville.There are many more stories like these, but you get the idea. CEO Comments The challenges the HSLC faces in promoting its programs is making the public aware of their existence, demonstrating their positive aspects, and finding the funding needed to continue and expand them. In a bow to the new technologies of today, the HSLC has been stepping up its game on social media. We encourage staff, volunteers, and members to post photos and Shelter stores on all social media platforms. 10

Most are employed full time so finding time to help with the 7-8 fundraisers/year is a problem. It also limits the recruitment of new board members since candidates may find the needed commitment too daunting. 12

Because we are a small non profit, our staff family does not have the benefits afforded to many others that are employed in the private or public sector, such as paid vacation, 401k, health insurance, or many of the other benefits in which many people are fortunate to participate.

Organization Comments The challenge for the HSLC is always to meet its financial obligations. The city of Fayetteville and the County of Lincoln only fund about 25% of our annual budget. The HSLC hosts nearly a fund raiser a month to raise enough money to provide food, shelter and medical treatment for Shelter animals. Its always an uphill battle.
