1. Spayed/neutered tattooed pets can be immediately identified by vets as stolen. 2. Microchip testing is done prior to each surgery. 3.A two-week period is allowed for missing or possibly stolen pets to be entered onto the web- site. Prior to surgery and before giving the voucher to the client, the web is checked for these i pets. With this procedure, stolen animals will likely be reunited with their owners. The Future: ARCH is presently setting -up the programs outlined above. These programs will be instituted and overseen by ARCH. The long-term goal is that each program will be self sustaining or able to operate with existing funding within 5 years. Poi Dog Kai is presently a self-sustaining entity. its budget is funded through fees charged for training programs. The Lost and Found and Web Site programs are both volunteer run programs. There have been discussions with local schools concerning involving computer classes in the areas of data entry, public relations and posting of lost and found information. We believe that the economics of these two programs are both sustainable and controllable. Our biggest economic outlay will be in the Spay/Neuter program. Our preliminary figures show that the long-term economic savings far outweigh the immediate costs. The goal is to reverse the spending cycle and take the money the Humane Society presently spends to house and euthaniae pets and use it for adoption, education, and bringing pets back into society as a positive influence. 7
