Nonprofit Organization Management - Jamestown, California, United States
Executive Director - Humane Society of Tuolumne County, Board of Directors
Our mission is to find homes for abandoned, abused, and unwanted animals, promote Humane Education, and maintain a clean and safe environment for homeless animals awaiting adoption.The Humane Society of Tuolumne County is a non-profit 501 (c)(3) organization established December 12, 1947 . We are a limited intake facility. Half our adoptable animals come from Tuolumne County Animal Control, and the remaining adoptable animals are owner released.We have 5 employees; all the other people who help at the shelter are volunteers. We work at the shelter because we respect life and care about the welfare of animals.You may not know this, but there are 6 million dogs, cats, puppies, and kittens killed every year in local shelters-just to make room for new arrivals-and the only thing that prevents us from saving more animals is funds. But as long as we can count on the support of our community and surrounding communities, we can continue our efforts-as we have since 1947, to rescue as many animals as possible. Your support allows us to never euthanize a healthy animal in our care.To keep that promise, however, we need to raise $30,000 each month! That's how much it cots to keep our doors open and provide care for the 90 animals we can being caring for on a daily basis. Right now the Humane Society is in desperate need of donations. We are looking to have to shut our doors in 8-12 months if we are not able to find a way out of our financial ruin. We lose money on every animal adopted. Donations are down dramatically, and support for fundraisers just isn't there.
