Overview

Mission

Atlanta pet rescue & adoption, inc. Is a non-profit, volunteer-based, no- kill shelter dedicated to rescuing and rehabilitating dogs and cats so they can be adopted into safe and loving forever homes.

What it reported doing in 2016

Operation of shelter for dogs and cats. Adopt out dogs and cats to great homes. Spay or neuter, vaccinate, de-worm, flea treat, and provide any other needed health care treatment to animals. Over 668 animals were helped.

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 - 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.
