Christine Jenkins's Company Details
THE EARLY YEARS (1974-2018) Help for Animals was formed in 1974 by its founder, the late Dorothy Cridlin, and a handful of volunteers in Cabell County, West Virginia. The organization was incorporated in 1977 as a non-profit corporation under laws of the State of West Virginia and received 501(C)(3) status from the Internal Revenue Service (see latest non-profit tax status letter from the IRS dated April 10, 1991 attached). Our goals, mission and objectives are: To promote animal welfare with special emphasis on spaying and neutering pets.To provide financial assistance to needy underprivileged pet owners so they can afford to spay/neuter their pets to stop the overpopulation problem in West Virginia.To provide education to the public to emphasize the pet overpopulation problem and to try to curb pet overpopulation in West Virginia. THE CLINICIn 2000, the Board of Directors decided to purchase a piece of land near the Huntington Mall for immediate access to our community, just off I-64 and Route 60 at the east end of the Huntington area, in Barboursville, Wv to locate our new 2,500 square feet building. The spay and neuter clinic was opened for operation in June 2000 by the help of our volunteers. by June 2007, we have performed or helped in over 58,000 animals in our 33 year history. In November 2014, Help for Animals hit another milestone. We performed our 125,000 spay/neuter. Since then, to date, the Clinic has performed a total of 160,000 plus spay and neuters to help curb the animal population in the area and surrounding counties.Help for Animals started a Kitten Adoption Program to attempt to place the unwanted kittens born to cats before they were spayed. You can stop by the clinic to see our kittens and fill out the adoption paperwork during regular business hours.
