Continuing to fullfil our mission:
To forge partnerships and develop innovative programs to reduce animal shelter admissions and end euthanasia as a form of poulation control.
2021 was a year for us to RECONNECT!
Our newly expanded clinic space became vital as we reengaged with our volunteers, adapted our fundraising events, and as our clientele grew.
Our IHA team also grew, providing us an opportunity to work together to accomplish more surgeries than ever before. What an extraordinary feat!
