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.

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.

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.
