Overview

Mission

We believe that all pets deserve life love and limitless humane care Thats why not only do we assist with the rescue of abandoned neglected abused and unwanted pets in the USA including those in danger of euthanasia at kill shelters but we also assist with animals after they have left the shelter including those with training and vetting needs. In addition we advocate for the rights of homeless animals housed in shelter facilities to receive humane treatment and enrichment. We believe that every pet deserves a loving home and the best care and opportunities for a healthy happy life.

What it reported doing in 2024

Grants to organizations that rescue animals from shelters natural disasters owner surrenders and strays; and also that promote animal welfare. We also assist with fundraising paid directly by donors to the rescues we support via "crowdfunding" fundraisers published to our email database of around 15,000 animal advocates. In 2024 we focused on the buyadogablanket campaign.

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 95% 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

MIXED - The filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
