The Humane Society of Utah's murray clinic has licensed veterinarians that provide all necessary medical services to animals prior to adoption in our resource center. Additionally, the clinic offers affordable vaccinations, spay/neuter surgeries, microchips, and heartworm tests for members of our community. In 2022, in-house veterinarians and medical teams spayed/neutered 10,746 pets in the community, providing affordable spay/neuter surgery to help prevent pet overpopulation and administered 142,529 vaccinations. We also performed an additional 1,117 special surgeries and expanded our services to include vaccination and sterilization of rabbits. Our clinics perform medical procedures for shelter animals to improve their adoptability and quality of life. The Humane Society of Utah operates two low-cost preventative care clinics in murray and st. george.

In 2022, our pet resource center found homes for 5,097 companion animals - with the average length of stay for available animals being seven days for cats and three days for dogs. As the need for assistance to community pet guardians grows, hsu continues to invest in keeping families together and animals out of the shelter through our pet retention program. In 2022 hsu distributed over 150,000 pounds of pet food to community pet food pantries, rescue groups, and reservations. Additionally, 499 families were given medical resources to keep their beloved pets. We hosted three off-site vaccination clinics in 2022 at the geraldine e. king resources center, the gail miller resource center, and the ute reservation. Through these clinics, hsu assisted 49 clients with 96 animals with vaccinations, microchips, supplies, and a quick, hands-on vet exam. In total, we served 1,130 companions through our pet retention program in 2022.

This program helps reduce shelter overcrowding across Utah and neighboring western states and allows hsu to provide medical and behavioral care to animals from overburdened or under-resourced areashumane education: 2022, we believe that educating younger generations is the key to ensuring better lives for animals in the future. Our proactive approach to ending animal cruelty and neglect is through our Humane education program.

In addition to classroom visits throughout the year, our Humane education team also hosts kids' camps at hsu for hands-on learning.behavior program: this program works hands-on with almost half of the dogs and cats surrendered or transferred to the Humane Society of Utah. We provide enrichment and training needed during the animals' stay at our center and ensure adopters have the information they need to help make a good match. We also provided 538 training and behavior consults in 2022 for community members to work with their pets and keep them in homes with families who already love them.
