VISION STATEMENT
The Animal Foundation envisions a future where there is no pet overpopulation in the Las Vegas Valley community due to citizens embracing responsible ownership and where all healthy and treatable companion animals find safe and loving homes, and where the Animal Foundation promotes and inspires the humane treatment of all animals in the community.
GUIDING PRINCIPLES & VALUES
In developing strategies to achieve our vision and provide compassionate service of the highest quality to animals entrusted to our care, we embrace the following guiding principles that we believe are fundamental to our success:
- Passion and commitment to saving and improving the lives of animals.
- Commitment to excellence, quality care and adherence to best practices in the field of animal welfare.
- Transparency and the open sharing of accurate, complete animal sheltering data and statistics.
- Acknowledgement that the euthanasia of healthy and treatable animals is the unfortunate responsibly of our agency that we neither desire nor seek. We believe that the euthanasia of healthy and treatable animals is a community-wide problem requiring community-based solutions. We are also committed to humanely administering euthanasia in a manner that is done with compassion and preserves the dignity of the animal.
- Community partnerships are essential. No one organization or type of organization can achieve the goal of saving all healthy and treatable animals and that the true solution is to work together and find common ground.
- Accountability to the citizens of the Las Vegas Valley and our obligation to upholding the public trust through ethical behavior, the fiscally responsible administration of resources, and being environmentally responsible.
- We believe in responsible pet ownership that includes the following responsibilities for caring for a pet: proper spaying and neutering, adequate living and exercise conditions, socialization and training, proper pet identification, and access to veterinary care and medical attention, including appropriate vaccinations.
