Overview

Mission

Our primary mission has always been to rescue animals from neglectful and abusive circumstances, provide them with necessary medical care, then place them in loving homes.

What it reported doing in 2024

The organization also provides innovative educational programs and advocacy campaigns reaching millions of people around the world to raise awareness to the plight of abused and neglected animals in an effort to enact positive change and end animal cruelty.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
  • Includes noncash contributions: Reported contributions include donated property or goods.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - A large share of total spending goes to programs and the filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
