Tallahassee Picked as ASPCA Partner Community:
Be the Solution Inc., Leon County Humane Society and the Animal Services Center have joined
together in a partnership with the National ASPCA Organization. This summer, the three Tallahassee
animal organizations were announced as the latest ASPCA Partner Community. With the formal
announcement coming in September, Leon County is added to the list of only 10 communities
nationwide to receive this opportunity. The ASPCA community partnership duration lasts from one
to five years, depending on our community’s needs and resourcefulness. The ASPCA will facilitate
cooperation between the local organizations, with the goal to increase the number of animals leaving
our local shelter alive. Each organization brings to the partnership its own area of expertise, which in
combination with the other partners will create an effective team. Be the Solution, Inc. will focus on
providing Spay and Neuter financial assistance, to reduce the number of unwanted animals born, that
would end up at our local Shelter. |
