In response to your article on the issue of the $10,000 warrant article for the Conway Area Humane Society, I want to offer some information to clear up some of the assumptions made in the article.

The total budget for CAHS this year is $629,000. The $10,000 warrant article represents 1.5 percent of that budget. If we add in the other municipalities we serve, we receive 3 percent of our funding through town contracts and warrant articles. The other 97 percent is raised by fundraising and adoption fees. CAHS has been receiving this amount since 2019 and has not asked for any increases in that time.
