Overview

Mission

To rescue and transition displaced domestic animals into their ideal homes and leading rescue innovation by adding significant value to the lives of animals and the community.

What it reported doing in 2025

The bounce animal rescue program is the same as its mission: to save the lives of lost and unwanted animals while striving to enrich the lives of their adopters. Bounce animal rescue is a 100% foster-home based rescue for dogs and cats. We rely solely on adoption fees and donations to work our cause. Many fine volunteers support efforts for adoption with the organization. We are also licensed by the state of Colorado as a rescue and a transporter. This provides us the ability to occassionally bring in animals for other rescues in the fort collins area. Pacfa (pet animal care and facilities act) is goverened by the department of agriculture of Colorado. Bounce animal rescue is required to follow the rules of the pacfa and is also required to go through several inspections during a calendar year to ensure the rescue is adhering to the rules of operation as well as completing proper record keeping.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 76% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
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 most voting board members are independent. The filing reports few safeguards for money sent abroad and the filing does not identify recipients for some grant dollars.
