Community Monday
Lewis and Clark Humane Society
Monday, August 13th
The LCHS is a private, community-based, not-for-profit organization that provides shelter for unwanted and stray animals (primarily dogs and cats), while working to end pet overpopulation, reduce the need for euthanasia, and improve the humane treatment and well-being of companion animals. It serves a population of roughly 70,000 residents in southwestern Montana and a service area covering roughly 5,500 square miles.
The shelter is operated by 8 full-time staff on an annual budget of approximately $1,000,000. Its operation is governed by a 11-person board of directors. The shelter’s revenue comes from donations (57%), local government contracts (23%), and service fees (20%). Over 300 volunteers work at the shelter each year contributing over 5,000 volunteer hours.
