AVHS operated an open-admission animal shelter for Chaffee County, Colorado. false false 723480 251015 Our team of eleven staff members, eight board members, and 70 volunteers helped 1,546 animals through our sheltering, spay/neuter, microchipping, safety net, and adoption programs last year. In doing so, the average length of stay for animals at our shelter was only 18.0 days and our Asilomar Live Release Rate was 97.1%. Of the 621 animals sheltered, 67% of cats and 82% of dogs originated in Chaffee County. Others received were relinquished by owners living in surrounding counties or transferred in from shelters in need. Through our transfer partnerships with 17 shelters in Colorado, New Mexico, Utah, Texas, and California, we were able to save 125 additional pets: 74 cats and 51 dogs. All 388 dogs and cats adopted from the shelter were spayed or neutered, up-to-date on vaccinations, and microchipped before leaving our doors. Additionally, our community support programs, aiming to keep pets and people together have continued to become more robust, year over year. Our community assistance spay and neuter programs provided reduced or no-cost spay/neuter for 264 cats and dogs living in Chaffee County. In addition, 10 reduced or no-cost microchips were offered to owned pets. Our community pet food and supply pantry served 643 pets, and 9 pets received free emergency boarding services. We partnered with local dog trainers to offer 8 at-risk community dogs 16 individualized training lessons through our behavior intervention training program. We partnered with Chaffee County Hospitality to offer motel room stays for unsheltered individuals and their pets during the coldest nights of the year, offering 54 nights of respite and benefitting 9 additional community pets, and we partnered with Chaffee County Community Foundation to offer a community pet medical emergency fund that benefitted 22 additional community pets. AVHS maintained operations in two facilities: our main facility in Buena Vista and a police impound facility in Salida, which received 63 animals. 723480 true true false false false false false false false true true false false true false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 4 0 true 14 false false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 6 6 false false false false false false false true true false false true false false false false true false X X Michele Crago 7198395600 701 Greg Drive Buena Vista CO 81211 X Terri Buchanan Chairman 1.50 0.00 X 0 0 0 Allison Gergley Vice Chair 1.50 0.00 X 0 0 0 Sarah C McMahon Treasurer 1.50 0.00 X 0 0 0 Judy Hamontre Director 1.50 0.00 X 0 0 0 Tom Purvis Director 1.50 0.00 X 0 0 0 Terry West Director 1.50 0.00 X 0 0 0 0 false false false 0 345595 450664 11831 796259 Canine Income 900099 34821 34821 Cremation Income 900099 189758 189758 Feline Income 900099 19604 19604 Other Program Income 900099 6832 6832 251015 80194 80194 0 0 0 4200 10654 -6454 -6454 -6454 58384 29534 28850 0 0 0 1149864 244561 80194 0 0 0 0 0 0 508186 374407 69362 64417 0 42822 31549 5845 5428 45155 33268 6163 5724 0 0 0 0 0 0 34804 34804 3175 2339 433 403 16637 10005 5143 1489 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 78754 52765 18958 7031 16699 12303 2279 2117 Feline Expense 75050 75050 Canine Expense 51698 51698 Cremation Expense 49267 49267 Repairs and Maintenance 18871 13903 2576 2392 28881 16926 8971 2984 969999 723480 154534 91985 222083 263126 0 0 15436 15085 0 0 0 2795 9560 8244 11241 1722610 456973 1349845 1265637 0 0 0 0 627451 863595 2225854 2428244 27043 57411 4684 31727 57411 X 2008283 1535111 185844 835722 2194127 2370833 2225854 2428244 179865 -3159 X true X false true false X 456001 727993 938244 679525 692034 3493797 0 0 456001 727993 938244 679525 692034 3493797 0 3493797 14840 11779 44657 32834 10306 114416 0 0 3608213 0.96830 0.96580 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 185844 20059 205903 279002 -23866 69292 185844 265024 32962 18984 279002 118037 119175 27813 265025 133439 14598 -30000 178037 false false false 140387 140387 551258 30984 520274 761285 211083 550202 25174 24649 525 244506 190257 54249 1265637 863595 X X false Various Fundraising 58384 58384 29534 58384 58384 29534 29534 28850 Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11b A COPY OF FORM 990 IS DISTRIBUTED TO ALL CURRENT DIRECTORS FOR REVIEW VIA EMAIL INPDF FORMAT PRIOR TO THE FILING OF FORM 990.
