“Other Program ServicesWCHS works to create a compassionate community by serving as a resource for pets and pet owners. WCHS has been dedicated to improving the lives of pets and people through direct action, strategic programming, and educational campaigns.The Shelter and Adoption program aids over 600 dogs, cats, and small pets annually. Animals enter the shelter as strays, are transported from other shelters, given up by their owners, or from cruelty/neglect cases. The team provides veterinary care and loving homes for over 93%!.The Community Veterinary Clinic is an extension of the Pet Care Assistance Program, founded in 2008. The Clinic is open to the public and offers services like vaccinations, routine tests, spay/neuter surgery, and dental procedures to pets. WCHS is one of the most active shelters in the region, yet it is also one of the smallest in size, budget, and staffing. To ensure WCHS can meet the communitys need for animal care for another 130+ years, the organization launched a Capital Campaign in 2018 to raise nearly $2M to expand and renovate its aging inefficient 4,000 sf facility. Due to Covid 19, the campaign and project were paused until 2022. With nearly 80% of the construction funds secured WCHS will begin construction in 2023. The updated and larger facility will allow WCHS to expand the Community Veterinary Clinic and provide better mental and physical care to shelter animals. WCHS is grateful to our donors and foundation friends whose early and generous commitment to the Campaign got it off to a strong start.”
