The non-profit conducts pet retention programs and a vigorous spay/neuter campaign. By creating a clinic that provides safe, high volume spay/neutering services, the HSMC is effectively preventing future homeless pets. In the last three years, the HSMC has performed about 15,000 spays/neuters. During that time, there’s been a 20 percent decrease in intakes at Manatee County Animal Services.
“From a business perspective, this model works. I’m impressed with their ingenuity. This approach is feasible and the results are measurable,”
“Neal Communities and John Neal Homes are a natural fit with the Humane Society. We’re both committed to homes and community,” said HSMC Executive Director, Amy Van Dell. “The Neals have been faithful and generous partners over the years.”

Great communities care about their most fragile citizens,” said John Neal, President of John Neal Homes. “The Humane Society is one of the stand-out animal organizations of this area. They’re providing valuable services that make Manatee an even more desirable place to live.”
