Mission and programs · 2023

Mission

THE LEWIS & CLARK HUMANE SOCIETY IS A PRIVATE, COMMUNITY-BASED, NOT-FOR-PROFIT ORGANIZATION THAT PROVIDES SHELTER FOR UNWANTED AND STRAY ANIMALS (PRIMARILY DOGS AND CATS), WHILE WORKING TO END PET OVERPOPULATION, REDUCE THE NEED FOR EUTHENASIA, AND IMPROVE THE HUMANE TREATMENT AND WELL BEING OF COMPANION ANIMALS. IT SERVES A POPULATION OF ROUGHLY 80,000 RESIDENTS IN SOUTHWESTERN MONTANA AND A SERVICE AREA COVERING ROUGHLY 5500 SQUARE MILES.

Activities or mission (Part I)

ESTABLISHED IN 1964 FOR THE PRIMARY PURPOSE OF THE PREVENTION OF CRUELTY TO ANIMALS.

  • The shelter provides a safe, clean, and comfortable shelter for abandoned or stray pets. The organization contracts with the cities of Helena, East Helena, and Townsend, Lewis & Clark County, Jefferson County, and Broadwater County to house the animals brought in by animal control, officers, and private citizens. It also provides shelter for the dogs and cats of families in emergencies, safekeeping, and housing for cruelty cases going to trial. LCHS works to provide permanent homes for all animals in the shelter. Adopted animals leave the shelter spayed and neutered, fully vaccinated, with a microchip implant, identification tag, and one free vet visit to a local veterinary clinic. Staff and volunteers ensure suitability between pets and owners, work with animals that have behavior problems, and provide support while animals adjust to their new homes.

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.
