Our team of twelve staff members, six board members, and 101 volunteers helped 2,055 animals through our sheltering, spay/neuter, microchipping, safety net, and adoption programs last year. In doing so, the average length of stay for animals at our shelter was only 22.6 days and our Asilomar Live Release Rate was 98.7%. Of the 653 animals sheltered, 87% of cats and 85% of dogs originated in Chaffee County. Others received were relinquished by owners living in surrounding counties or transferred in from shelters in need. Through our transfer partnerships we worked with 6 shelters across Colorado, 2 in Utah, and 1 in New Mexico, and brought in an additional 51 adoptable pets to our community: 13 cats and 38 dogs. All 431 dogs and cats adopted from the shelter were spayed or neutered, up-to-date on vaccinations, and microchipped before leaving our doors. Additionally, our community support programs, aiming to keep pets and people together, continue to grow stronger, year over year. Our community assistance spay and neuter programs provided reduced or no-cost spay/neuter for 250 cats and dogs living in Chaffee County. In addition, 67 reduced or no-cost microchips were provided to owned pets. Our community pet food and supply pantry served 1,071 pets, and 15 pets received free emergency boarding services. We partnered with local dog trainers to offer 14 at-risk community dogs 38 individualized training lessons through our behavior training support program. We partnered with Chaffee County Hospitality to offer motel room stays for unsheltered individuals and their pets during the coldest nights of the year, offering 105 nights of respite and benefitting 18 additional community pets, and we partnered with Chaffee County Community Foundation to offer a Community Pet Fund that benefitted 36 additional community pets. AVHS maintained operations in two facilities: our main facility in Buena Vista and a police impound facility in Salida, which received 68 animals.
