PHS is committed to establishing the Greater Pensacola region as a No-Kill Community by 2023. The foundation was laid with the creation of the Spay & Neuter Clinic to address pet over-population. The Human Express mobile adoption vehicle will enable PHS to take another important step in achieving their goal by expanding the number of adoptions performed by PHS. With the addition of this vehicle, PHS will be able to transport more animals to offsite adoption events and significantly propel the effort to conduct more adoptions, transfer more animals from county shelters and perform more spay and neuter surgeries. It will also support efforts by other departments within the organization by improving the ability to quickly transport large numbers of animals as part of the intake process. The Humane Express will significantly increase exposure and outreach opportunities such as adoption events where multiple pets would be transported, displayed, and available to the public in locations other than PHS’s main facility. It also improves the organization’s ability to expand the community education program targeted at schools and community groups. The vehicle would also play a major role in serving as a visible reminder of the needs of homeless pets in the community. The community will become more aware of the plight of homeless dogs and cats, and as a result of this project, more of these animals will find their forever home. As an added benefit, Pensacola Humane Society will be able to transport shelter dogs and cats in the event of a natural disaster.
