Overview

Mission

To provide for the well-being of and defend the rights of abandoned, abused, or neglected dogs and cats in the Amarillo area through sheltering, fostering adoption, education, and advocacy efforts because every being deserves a safe and loving home.

What it reported doing in 2025

Operation of a shelter for animals until adoption into a suitable home, providing shelter, food and medicine

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
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.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised.
