Humane Society introduces new executive leader and outlines capacity challenges
Loading...
Summary
The Humane Society introduced new executive leader Adam Tibco and described staffing and space constraints, expanded trap‑neuter‑release efforts, a recently purchased building for training and operations, and financial pressure from boarding costs and delayed court proceedings.
Representatives of the county humane society introduced a new executive leader and urged continued board attention to capacity and staffing needs during the Beaver County Board of Commissioners work session on Dec. 10.
A Humane Society representative (Speaker 3) introduced Adam Tibco as the organization’s new executive leader and said the organization is shifting toward new policies and programs. "We're changing, getting new policies, procedures. We're doing a lot of programs and services," the representative said, and invited commissioners to tour the shelter and the recently purchased building used for dog training and other activities.
The Humane Society noted operational constraints: it currently has one humane officer and is trying to hire another; space limitations prompted acquisition of an additional building across the street. The speaker said trap‑neuter‑release work has reduced some feral‑cat populations in targeted areas but that the shelter is often full, and boarding costs and delays in court proceedings increase costs the organization must cover. The representative gave an example of an elevated boarding cost scenario, which places strain on the organization’s budget.
Commissioners thanked the Humane Society representatives and noted support for the organization’s work in municipalities across the county. The Humane Society asked for community engagement and suggested the board may help with outreach and awareness as it pursues staffing and program expansion.
What happens next: the Humane Society will continue recruitment for another humane officer and invited commissioners to visit the shelter and the new building for tours and briefings.
