* Low-cost sterilization surgeries and vaccinations at our own fully-staffed in-house clinic
* A full-time certified cruelty investigator who responds to reports of neglect and abuse and checks animal facilities throughout the state
* Professional humane education programs for tens of thousands of school children
* In-house pet obedience classes
* A full-time foster parent program to help young, ill, or special-needs animals become adoptable
* Outreach adoptions through our Animobile and off-site adoptions staff
* A Rescue/Transfer program bringing animal breeds which are highly adoptable in Utah to our shelter from overcrowded facilities in other areas. Humane Society also takes animals that are not in great demand in our own area to accredited and screened shelters in other parts of the Southwest which adopt out such breeds in high numbers

* Support for animal-friendly legislation
* Publications, special events, and community activities to heighten awareness of animal issues and problems
