Overview

Mission

We rescue animals and search to find them a forever home. We are a foster based organization that takes homeless dogs and cats into our home and provide them with proper medical care, food, shelter and love until they find their forever home and get adopted.

What it reported doing in 2024

Finalized over 2,150 dog and cat adoptions from 2016 through 2024; assisted various shelter with overflow of cats and/or dogs by providing volunteer foster families; provided for medical needs, including spaying and neutering for adoptable animals.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 62% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 99% 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.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Revenue has declined or grown slowly and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
