    1. Auburn Valley Humane Society 501c3 WWW.AUBURNVALLEYHS.ORG Prepared to Stabilize, Shelter, & Secure

    2. Defining the Need Auburn currently shelters its homeless animals by contract with the King County Animal Shelter(KCAC). In 2010, budget shortfalls forced KCAC to substantially raise the contract cost and reduce services to Auburn. King County faces an aging facility, questionable animal care conditions, and reform resistant leadership. http://www.kcaccexposed.org Auburn has lost personalized animal control services, control of the financial future and care level for our pets. If not addressed, we could face the loss of this non-mandated service for our animals and community.

    3. Local Veterinarians Respond The decision was made to: FORM a Humane Society to address the needs of our local animal population and shelter management for the next decade. PARTNER with the city to provide licensing services, a shelter facility, and animal control officer. LEAD the volunteer effort with corporate and private support of their time, talent, and treasure. REALIZE the ownership of a program that maintains the quality of life expected by a healthy community.

    4. Milestones The Auburn Valley Humane Society was formed in March 2011 and has achieved 501c3 status. Seventeen members of our community lead this project including all Auburn veterinary clinics. A facility at 4910 A Street SE has been located and a remodeling plan secured. Operational budgets have been established and endorsed by a partnering local humane society. The city of Auburn has offered a contract outline for a financial partnership.

    5. Plan benefits Animal Control services for Auburn city limits. Animal license fees of over $250,000 stay in Auburn to fund our shelter. Youth to elderly in our community realize direct involvement and management of our need. Professional oversight in the care and future of our pets. Control over our financial and sheltering future for animal control services.

    6. Will the community respond? The Auburn Valley Humane Society needs to furnish the building provided by the City of Auburn, see an increase of animal licensing by 10% to meet the agreed budget, and secure a list of volunteers to help with the day to day operation of the animal shelter.

    7. Donations needed to open by January 1st 2013 $190,000 cash or in-kind Buy a pet cage Donate a washer, dryer, towels, etc. Corporate or private donations Long term Sponsors Be a proponent of: �Love your pet � License your pet� 250 committed shelter volunteers Commit today!
