(352) 486-5705 FAX (352) 486-0079 Editor: As President of the Humane Society of Levy County, Inc., I would like to thank all the members who continue to support our mission. I would like to express my deepest thanks to the rescues that have networked with us to rescue the adoptable animals that pass through our local shelter. I wish to thank David Weatherford, Assistant Director of Levy County Animal Services and his staff who have bent over backward to work with us to reduce the number of animals that we have had to say Good-Bye to in the past year.
During the past year we have participated in different functions throughout Levy County. Those being the Jack Russell Mania in Williston (April & November), Chiefland Watermelon Festival, Horseman Park Rodeo events, Bronson Speedway events, Christmas Lights at Roger Kunde's home Chiefland, K.A.R.E. ( Katrina Animal Rescue Effort ) and our Membership Drives in Bronson Williston, and Chiefland, Christmas Party Adoption Event at Earth Pets in Gainesville.
In September we applied for our Tax Exempt Status (which is back logged to date.) There is a great need for this status as for which we will be able to apply for grants for Spay and Neuter and Corporate Donations.
HSLC continues to look for property which is zoned for a veterinarian practice for which to build a facility. Some have asked why Bronson? Well as president I would like to have a facility which I am close to for the well being of our pets. The objective of the facility will be for Spay & Neutering and a place for us to showcase our rescued adoptable animals. We are trying to work toward a Low Cost Spay/Neuter for residents of Levy County.
Humane Society of Levy County, Inc. has a Emergency Preparedness Trailer (45 ft. ) that is being outfitted with portable cages, cabinets, food, medical supplies, towels and blankets for Emergency Disaster Support. The trailer can be moved to Emergency Pet Sheltering Facility for support. We look forward to assisting Levy County Animal Services during a Disaster Preparedness situation.
I want to express my deepest thanks to those that have opened their homes to foster our rescued companions and those that have helped to transport to our partnered rescues.
I need to challenge all members to go out and rally for more members to further strengthen our goals, which will be the next hard step for us to take in getting a facility and setting up our own spay and neuter clinic here in Levy County. If you would like to become a member please call or write for an application. Upcoming Events -- April 1 & 2 Jack Russell Trails, Williston Horseman Park, May- TBA Adoption Event, June 3rd Chiefland Watermelon Festival. LIVES SAVED AT LOCAL SHELTER
