INKAS, established in 2010, raises funds to directly pay Ivins Animal Shelter expenses such as veterinary care, food, medication, cages, leashes, litter boxes, and other necessities. We have also funded capital improvements such as shade structures, and are currently raising funds to expand the open cat areas and to provide more storage space.
Recently, the Ivins City shelter combined with the Santa Clara City shelter, increasing the animal population for which we provide support.
And, unfortunately, people still act irresponsibly with regard to the spaying or neutering of their pets. Paisley, a very pregnant two to three year old Shih-Tzu/Schnauzer mix came into the Ivins Shelter on March 3 and delivered five beautiful puppies on March 12, 2014. Paisley and puppies are in loving foster care, and every effort will be made to find them all good homes. SEE THE MOM AND PUPPIES IN THE PHOTO GALLERY ABOVE.
INKAS believes it is important to keep the shelter animals content and socialized by providing toys and fun, and to keep them looking their adoptable best by providing professional grooming.
The INKAS organization is made up of four Directors who are also corporate officers, and five Volunteer Associates, all of whom donate their time and effort for no compensation. Five of the nine officers and associates are also Official Ivins City Shelter Volunteers who donate their time to walk and play with the dogs, clean litter boxes and cuddle the cats and kittens, run veterinarian and shopping errands, and much more.
INKAS recently instituted a Pilot Dog Training Program to make our potential adoptees better canine citizens. A professional dog trainer comes to the shelter on a regular basis to work on basic obedience training with the dogs and the shelter volunteers who care for them.
The shelter has operated as a no-kill since 2003, achieving a success rate of over 95% in each year and, in some years, nearly 100%.
While the Ivins Shelter population changes from day to day, there are always beautiful cats and kittens of all patterns and colors, and dogs of all sizes, shapes and colors.
Please help us to keep them safe and healthy until they all have forever homes! They have, after all, no choice but to rely on the kindness of strangers.
