In 2009, HSSC became a no-kill shelter. With the completion of our shelter expansion and renovation project in 2021, HSSC is now the areas premier no-kill organization. We achieve our mission by providing compassionate care to our shelter pets, finding them permanent homes, and promoting responsible pet ownership in our community. On any given day, HSSC has approximately 200 dogs and cats in care, adding up to more than 2,700 lives saved each year. Every animal receives nutritious food, stimulating exercise and enrichment, and comprehensive medical care at our onsite clinic. 1351097 416772 Animal Clinic The Animal Clinic is committed to providing affordable, quality medical care to keep pets healthy and in their homes. As a non-profit provider, we believe all pets deserve access to medical services to prevent future health problems. The Animal Clinic offers core preventative programs to ensure pets remain free from harmful parasites like fleas, ticks, and heartworms. We also offer annual core vaccinations to prevent pets from getting sick from exposure to harmful viruses and diseases. We offer affordable spay-neuter services to prevent unplanned litters of cats and dogs (and keep them from ending up at animal shelters). We also perform routine dentistry and provide microchipping services to help recover pets if they ever get lost. The Animal Clinic ceased providing services to the public in October 2024. 58441 23961 Community Outreach HSSCs Community Outreach & Engagement program teaches people of all ages to respect the animals that share our world, both in our homes and in our communities. Humane education fosters compassion, responsibility, and kindness for animals and people alike. Fundamentally, the goal of humane education is to make the world a better place for all living creatures. Our community outreach programs include volunteer opportunities for adults and teens, canine training classes, pet therapy certification, and humane education outreach in schools. 5215785 true true false false false false false false false true true false false true false true true false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false true 11 0 false 90 true false false false false false true true false 0 false false false false false false false X 14 14 true false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true true false false FL X X X Nicole Allen 9419554131 2331 15th Street Sarasota FL 34237 Ashley Gillett Veterinarian 40.00 0.00 131034 0 14060 Anna Gonce Executive Dir. 40.00 0.00 X 128635 0 6036 David Morton Sr Dir of Lifesavi 40.00 0.00 113968 0 7093 Kristyn Day Veterinarian 30.00 0.00 103729 0 7056 Janet Boyden President 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Jennifer Poppen Vice President 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Caryn Wilbraham Secretary 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Michael Cervone Treasurer 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Jennifer Douglas Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Melinda Foster Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Christopher J Fowler Esq Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Alisa M Heedy Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Harald Hvideberg Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Alison Kanter Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Mark Kowalski Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Elizabeth Rabbitt-Stephen Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Richard Vacar Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Jared Wurtzel Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 477366 34245 4 false false false 0 193950 3651714 113427 3845664 Animal clinic 900099 416772 416772 Animal shelter 900099 152130 152130 Community outreach 900099 23961 23961 592863 242032 242032 0 0 0 1516258 290453 1225805 1225805 1225805 130133 193950 161102 -30969 -30969 0 426880 323882 102998 102998 Miscellaneous income 900099 582 582 582 5978975 696443 1436868 0 0 0 0 134671 125274 3706 5691 0 2749463 2557623 75656 116184 52428 49019 1220 2189 266531 249203 6202 11126 231706 216643 5391 9672 0 6177 5987 190 18173 17613 560 0 0 46916 46916 41120 38251 1131 1738 196842 121843 2648 72351 25713 10216 196 15301 0 0 0 0 0 59549 40993 6338 12218 42792 41225 1567 0 387995 356956 7760 23279 153968 141883 2971 9114 Veterinary medical supplies 438188 438188 Repairs and maintenance 216921 177247 3199 36475 Contracts and services 201569 149184 2360 50025 Animal care supplies 154695 154636 15 44 432267 347401 11900 72966 5857684 5215785 202776 439123 947924 490541 436310 721342 1538526 2136683 0 0 0 166 127281 64788 51196 99668 10496645 1617864 9086807 8878781 9620603 8541924 0 0 0 3022587 3439640 24831234 24373533 275321 348570 12340 800000 1075321 360910 X 20186186 20077096 3569727 3935527 23755913 24012623 24831234 24373533 X 121291 -488096 15858 607657 X false true X true false X 3088387 3500590 4104946 5976081 3845664 20515668 0 0 3088387 3500590 4104946 5976081 3845664 20515668 0 20515668 222218 259598 184525 228550 242032 1136923 0 1041174 1544386 1130580 1240092 665474 5621706 27274297 0.75220 0.72630 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 1165479 136197 48395 1253281 1051104 164700 50325 1165479 1295807 -194640 50063 1051104 1168120 175633 47946 1295807 1130643 37477 1168120 1.00000 false false false 336860 336860 9070763 893931 8176832 1089022 723933 365089 8878781 Beneficial Int in Assets Held by Others 1253281 Beneficial Int in Charitable Trust 2186359 3439640 X 6361480 -488096 15858 577777 105539 6255941 46916 -323882 -276966 5978975 6104770 323882 323882 5780888 46916 29880 76796 5857684 Part X : FIN48 Footnote The Organization is exempt from federal income taxes under Section 501 (c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code except for unrelated business income.
