This resolution commemorates the 115th anniversary of the Anita Stevens-Swan Humane Society, a charitable organization located in Oneida County, New York, that has been dedicated to animal welfare since its founding in 1910. The resolution highlights the organization's history, beginning with its establishment by Gustavus Swan and James Stevens, who merged their agencies to create a society focused on protecting and caring for at-risk animals. The humane society is praised for its commitment to rescuing, rehabilitating, and rehoming thousands of animals annually, providing shelter, promoting animal adoption, and offering spay/neuter services. The resolution acknowledges the organization's ongoing efforts to prevent animal cruelty, abuse, and neglect, and recognizes the challenging work of caring for abandoned, lost, and unwanted animals. By pausing to commemorate the society's 115-year history, the legislative body aims to celebrate and honor the organization's significant contributions to animal welfare in the community. The resolution concludes by officially recognizing the Anita Stevens-Swan Humane Society's achievements and directing that a copy of the resolution be transmitted to the organization.
