Mission and programs · 2023

Mission

THE CONNECTICUT HUMANE SOCIETY IS THE LEADING RESOURCE IN THE STATE FOR COMPANION ANIMAL WELFARE; ENRICHING THE LIVES OF FAMILIES AND COMMUNITIES THROUGH ADOPTION SERVICES, MEDICAL CARE, EDUCATION, AND PREVENTION OF CRUELTY.

Activities or mission (Part I)

THE CONNECTICUT HUMANE SOCIETY IS THE LEADING RESOURCE IN THE STATE FOR COMPANION ANIMAL WELFARE; ENRICHING THE LIVES OF FAMILIES AND COMMUNITIES THROUGH ADOPTION SERVICES, MEDICAL CARE, EDUCATION AND PREVENTION OF CRUELTY.

  • IN 2023, THE CONNECTICUT HUMANE SOCIETY (CHS) RAN THREE ANIMAL CARE AND ADOPTION CENTERS, SUCCESSFULLY FINDING HOMES FOR 1,792 ANIMALS. THESE PETS CAME FROM VARIOUS SOURCES: OWNER SURRENDERS, LAW ENFORCEMENT, AND PARTNER SHELTERS. EACH ANIMAL RECEIVED COMPREHENSIVE CARE: FOOD, EXERCISE, SHELTER, MEDICAL TREATMENT, ENRICHMENT, AND ADOPTION SERVICES. OUR DEDICATED STAFF VETERINARIANS CONDUCTED 11,489 MEDICAL EXAMS, ADMINISTERED 4,506 VACCINES, AND PERFORMED 1,169 SPAY/NEUTER SURGERIES. ADDITIONALLY, 412 PETS RECEIVED EXTRA BEHAVIOR SUPPORT. ON AVERAGE, EACH ANIMAL STAYED IN CARE FOR 42.1 DAYS BEFORE BEING ADOPTED. 673 PETS WHO WERE NOT YET READY FOR ADOPTION RECEIVED FOSTER CARE. NOTABLY, CHS NEVER EUTHANIZES ANIMALS DUE TO SPACE, BREED, AGE, OR TIME CONSTRAINTS.

    Expenses $5,463,605 · Revenue $441,477

  • THE PUBLIC CLINIC PROGRAM OFFERS LOW-COST, DONOR-SUBSIDIZED VETERINARY CARE TO PETS WHO LACK ACCESS TO TRADITIONAL VETERINARY SERVICES. THE FOX MEMORIAL CLINIC SUPPORTS PET OWNERS FACING FINANCIAL DIFFICULTIES, PROVIDING BOTH TREATMENT FOR INJURIES AND ILLNESSES AS WELL AS WELLNESS AND PREVENTIVE CARE. THE GOAL IS TO RELIEVE PAIN, EXTEND LIFE, AND KEEP PETS IN THEIR HOMES RATHER THAN IN SHELTERS. IN 2023, THE FOX MEMORIAL CLINIC SERVED 1,476 ANIMALS, ADMINISTERING 2,115 VACCINES AND PERFORMING 20 SPAY/NEUTER SURGERIES. ADDITIONALLY, 10 MOBILE CLINICS ACROSS THE STATE PROVIDED CARE TO 359 PETS, DELIVERING A TOTAL OF 448 VACCINES.

    Expenses $1,010,920 · Revenue $435,891

  • CHS FIGHTS ANIMAL CRUELTY AND NEGLECT BY EDUCATING THE PUBLIC ON PROPER ANIMAL CARE AND HUMANE TREATMENT. WE ALSO EXTEND OUR IMPACT THROUGH ANIMAL WELFARE UNIVERSITY, WHERE THOUSANDS OF ANIMALS BENEFIT FROM TRAINING PROVIDED TO ANIMAL CONTROL OFFICERS AND HUMAN SERVICES PROFESSIONALS. ADDITIONALLY, WE OFFER ONE-ON-ONE CONSULTATIONS WITH PET OWNERS AND WORK WITH GOVERNMENT AGENCIES ON ANIMAL-RELATED POLICIES. OUR CRISIS FOSTERING AND EMERGENCY RESOURCES PLAY A CRUCIAL ROLE IN KEEPING PETS IN THEIR HOMES. IN 2023, WE DISTRIBUTED 226,899 MEALS THROUGH OUR PET FOOD PANTRY. ADDITIONALLY, CHS IMPACTED 7,361 CHILDREN AND 1,807 ADULTS THROUGH 270 EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS VIA SCHOOLS, CAMPS, LIBRARIES, SHELTER TOURS AND ONLINE ENRICHMENT CLASSES.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.

Schedule J
