WINTER 2018
THE TAIL WAGGIN’ TIMES
Happy New Year! We are delighted to let you know that we adopted out 400 dogs and 385 cats last year! Most of
those were strays. It is difficult to understand how large of a problem this continues to be in San Antonio and Bexar
County.
2018 marks a milestone for the Helotes Humane Society. It’s our 10th birthday! We hope you’ll come celebrate with
us on March 17th at Braun Hall. Details are in this edition of the Tail Waggin’ Times.
We want to thank all of our volunteers, members and donors that make what we do possible.
What was once just a dream has become a reality because of people like you!

Great news! Helotes Humane Society just earned the Platinum Seal of Transparency from GuideStar, the world’s largest source of nonprofit information. By sharing these metrics, we’re helping the sector move beyond simplistic financial rati-os to assess nonprofit progress. We chose to display quantita-tive metrics such as the number of animals rescued and adopt-ed and the average length of stay per animal to represent how hard Helotes Humane Society is working toward achieving our mission.
We’re proud to use GuideStar Platinum to share our full and complete story with the world. To reach the Platinum level, we added extensive information to our Nonprofit Profile: basic contact and organizational information; in-depth financial in-formation; quantitative information about goals, strategies, and progress toward our mission.

We Need Homes!
John Boy was brought to us as a stray. He is currently in a foster
home where he is entertaining the family with his antics. He is a
playful, curious kitten. He'd love to come entertain you!
Meet Minnie! She's a stunning two year old boxer/bulldog mix &
she's 100% love. She's house trained, crate trained & knows the
basic commands. She's great with people, loves kids & currently
lives with 3 young children. She weighs approximately 50 lbs &
would not be recommended for homes with children under 8
years of age. She doesn't get along with cats or dogs, so she
needs to be in a one animal family. Her temperament is not at all
aggressive, but she like's to be dominant, so the one animal fami-
ly is a must. She cuddles and loves falling asleep in your lap.
Chupy is a 1 year old dog who has had a rough start in life.
He was adopted from a large municipal shelter, but then his
adopter abandoned him in an apartment when she moved out,
leaving him without food or water.
Chupy gets along well with some dogs his own size and ener-
gy level. (Meet and greet is required) He does not like
small dogs or cats! He would do best in an active home
with/without teenagers. He will need an alpha owner with
breed experience that is willing to give him daily
walks/runs/hikes and continue his dog training. No apart-
ments, cats, or children under 12 years old! He will re-
quire special diet, skin and fur care. He is quite playful
and loves his stuffies! He has some hairless spots because
he is part Xoloitzcuintli . He is missing some teeth which
is also common in this breed. You can read more about them
here:

HAPPY TAILS
Sometimes angels are just ordinary
people who help us believe in miracles
again
Cleo was brought to us in very bad
shape. She was literally starving.
A kind woman found her and knew
she needed help. Cleo went to live
in two different foster homes
where she slowly gained weight and
was socialized.
We are happy to report she is now
happy and healthy and found a won-
derful family to be a part of.
What a happy ending for this
little stray!
