Donations

The Arlington Humane Society is a 501c-3, non-killing, educational Society. We receive no tax money or
other government funding, only individual donations . The Arlington Humane Society is a totally
volunteer organization. We pay no salaries and operate in donated space. Your tax-deductible donations
go directly to the care of the animals and to fund our programs. Our programs include obedience training
of over 1500 dogs and their owners last year alone, adoption of hundreds of dogs and cats to new
homes, over 1000 dogs spayed and neutered through our low cost spay/neuter program, low cost
vaccination clinics, lost and found system, etc.
We do not advocate radical or emotional approaches to solving the animal over population problem and
teach "Responsible Pet Ownership" . You will not see the Arlington Humane Society on the 6 o'clock news
or the front page of the newspaper, because we operate in a very low key, sane, rational and logical
manor. This does not make good copy. Unlike some animal rights groups that stress the negatives, we
like to accentuate the positives. We would rather sit down with someone and help educate him or her to
become a "Responsible Pet Owner", than call the TV news and confront them with a camera.We do not
go on television every time we help an animal; we help animals and pet owners every day. We do, in dire
situations where serious animal cruelty is involved, and education will not work, cooperate fully with state
and federal government agencies to alleviate suffering. However, again you will not see it on the 6
o'clock news.Too many organizations have and are exploiting animals purely for the sake of raising
money. The money is spent on big staff salaries and lavish offices and very little of the donated money
goes to help the animals.

We need to expand our Community Educational Programs, but this costs money. We need to increase
community awareness of our programs, but again this costs money for publicity because again, our
logical and rational approach does not get free publicity. We would like to expand our adoption program,
but again, it costs money to properly feed, house, and care for animals.

If, after reading the above, you agree with our mission, purpose and objectives, then we ask for your
support.You can help us help the pets in many of the following ways. We also need volunteers. If you
have some free time you would like to spend on some worthwhile projects, give us a call at (817)
468-0444. You will not get famous, but you will feel good by helping animals that cannot help themselves.
