Overview

Mission

Maintaining a shelter for homeless cats and dogs, promoting their adoption, and conducting a spaying and neutering program for the public

What it reported doing in 2024

Operating a thrift store where public donations are accepted and resold to benefit both the public and the league's work with homeless pets

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

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and most voting board members are independent. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
