OUR OVERALL GOAL BEING THAT THE ST JOSEPH ANIMAL SHELTER CAN SUCCESSFULLY BE CONSIDERED A NO KILL (90% SAVE RATE) SHELTER WITH OUR HELP. WITH FOTAS HARD WORK AND OUR COLLABORATIVE WORK WITH THE SHELTER, THEY HAVE REACHED THAT GOAL WITH DOGS FOR SEVERAL YEARS AND KEPT INCHING CLOSER TO REACH THE GOAL WITH CATS. HOWEVER, THE RATE DICTATING THIS NO KILL STATUS CAN BE SIGNIFICANTLY DISRUPTED DEPENDING ON THE ECONOMY WHICH CAN DICTATE THE NUMBER OF STRAYS, RELINQUISHMENTS, AND THE DISCOVERY OF HOARDING SHUTDOWNS. AGAIN, THROUGH THE COLLABORATION BETWEEN THE SHELTER AND FOTAS, THE 2023 SAVE RATE FOR CATS INCREASED FROM 6% WHILE THE DOG SAVE RATE DECREASED 5% DUE TO THE ABOVE DISCOVERIES IN THE HOARDING SHUTDOWNS. THIS GAVE THE SHELTER AN OVERALL 89% NO KILL PERCENTAGE, JUST SHORT 1% OF THE OVERALL NO KILL STATUS FOR ANIMALS.OBVIOUSLY MEDICAL CARE HAS TO BE SUPPLIED, OTHER THAN SPAY/NEUTER SERVICES, TO ALL THE ANIMALS BROUGHT TO THE SHELTER REGARDLESS OF ADOPTABILITY AND OUR COSTS FOR THAT CARE TOTALED $67,587 WITH INCORPORATES THE DISCOUNTS OUR LOCAL VETERINARIANS CHARGE US FOR THOSE SERVICES. WE CONTINUE TO EDUCATE THE PUBLIC THROUGH SIGNAGE, WEEKLY TV PET PREVIEWS, AND OUR OWN PET PREVIEWS ON THE NEED TO SPAY AND NEUTER. WE ARE IN THE BEGINNING STAGES OF SPONSORING A REDUCED COST OF A SPAY/NEUTER PROGRAM WHICH IS A KEY TO THE ONGOING INFLUX OF ANIMALS INTO THE SHELTER WHICH CANNOT BE HOUSED WITHOUT OUR HELP WITH ADOPTION SPECIALS.WE HAVE GROWN TREMENDOUSLY OVER THE YEARS AND WITHOUT OUR SUPPORT, THE ST JOSEPH ANIMAL SHELTER WOULD NOT BE WHERE IT IS TODAY. UNFORTUNATLY, THE CITY OF ST JOSEPH IS UNABLE TO FUND THE ANIMAL SHELTER COMPLETELY AND THAT IS WHERE FOTAS ASSISTS. 147952 true true false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 7 0 true 0 true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false X 14 14 false false false false true true false true true false false true false false false false false false MO X BETTY AKARD 8162333302 5018 STONECREST TER SAINT JOSEPH MO 64506 X DR MELANIE BARNES DIRECTOR 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 KIM BARRON DIRECTOR 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 AMBER HALSTEAD DIRECTOR 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 VERONICA WEHR DIRECTOR 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 KIM GORMAN DIRECTOR 20.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 RICK GILMORE DIRECTOR 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 ANGIE LEATHERMAN DIRECTOR 20.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 TAYLOR STEPHENSON DIRECTOR 10.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 BENITA WORDS CORRESPONDING SECRETARY 10.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 ADRIAN PEACOCK TREASURER 25.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 BETTY AKARD CO TREASURER 45.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 ED VANOVER PRESIDENT 50.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 KIMBER SLAGLE VICE PRESIDENT 10.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 KATHY ERMLER RECORDING SECRETARY 20.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 false false false 63691 205811 269502 6631 6631 63691 276133 6631 0 0 X 39312 39312 67921 67921 5195 191 685 4319 1145 1015 130 27438 27438 5391 5391 6112 5294 818 TRANSPORT TO RESCUE 1845 1845 NEWSLETTER EXPENSE 909 303 303 303 SUPPLIES-CURRENT SHELTER 257 257 ALLOCATED FUNRAISING EXPENSE 10587 10587 166112 147952 2821 15339 X 43618 65069 1262959 417177 600398 600398 600398 52055 956048 1959030 2038692 151745 121386 151745 121386 X 1807285 1917306 1807285 1917306 1959030 2038692 110021 0 X false false false X 258600 957397 293871 197530 205811 1913209 60190 46904 59085 68919 63691 298789 34383 34383 353173 1004301 352956 266449 269502 2246381 2246381 1004 3933 1751 1507 6631 14826 1004 3933 1751 1507 6631 14826 354177 1008234 354707 267956 276133 2261207 0.99340 0.99630 0.01000 0.00000 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED false false false false false false false false false false 143500 143500 456898 456898 600398 5K 16529 16529 4036 INSTAMATICS 12535 12535 2 16216 16216 2416 45280 45280 6452 6452 38828 true CITY OF ST JOSEPH MO ANIMAL SHELTER 701 LOWER LAKE ROAD SAINT JOSEPH MO 64504 446000256 37195 INCREASE ANIMAL ADOPT RATES Monitoring procedures (Part I, line 2) IN ORDER TO INCREASE ADOPTION RATES, WE OFFER ADOPTION FEE REDUCTION TO HELP CLEAR THE CITY OF ST.
