Overview

Mission

CRCCS is an animal shelter and behavior education center. Our mission is to inspire, educate, and motivate the human spirit, while saving, nurturing, and loving the canine and feline spirit, bringing the two together to change the way the world views at risk cats and dogs.

What it reported doing in 2024

CRCCS provides a variety of free services and supplies to the community to help improve quality of life for left animals and/or animals that are already in homes and suffering. These services provide guidance, support, resources, information, consulting, supplies, food, and behavior training for pets (or for their owners) at no charge. These services are geared for those that are out of options, have been told no by everyone else and dont know where to go, those experiencing financial hardship, major life change, or dogs left on properties or in facilities with no legal owner. This includes a scholarship program for individuals needing help with their dogs but do not have the financial means. This also includes weekly no-charge consultations for individuals needing guidance or resources.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 78% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
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 - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of available resources goes toward mission work. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised.
