Overview
Mission
To assist in providing for the welfare of homeless animals and to reduce the population of dogs and cats.
What it reported doing in 2024
The organization spayed and neutered cats and dogs, donated pet food and supplies to many households and helped with shelter and veternarian bills for homeless pets and those who could not afford the cost.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent revenue detail to tell how this nonprofit funds its work.
- 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
SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Revenue has declined or grown slowly and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
