Overview

Mission

To house, vet and rehabilitate homeless pets in our community and provide pet-related education and resources to our residents. To reduce the number of homeless and unwanted litters through spay/neuter education and by providing already fixed and vaccinated pets for adoption.

What it reported doing in 2025

We had several successful fundraising events including our annual puttin fore paws golf tournament and paws for a cause walkathon. These funds supplement donations and county aid to continue our price county pet food pantry for residents who need assistance feeding their pets during hard times and to continue working with local vet partners to offer spay and neuter education and resources. We also worked closely with the price county humane officer to assist with pets in need, stray pets, seizure holds and sick/injured pets. We continued growing our intake and outcome numbers and offered a barn cat program to trap/neuter/release local colony cats for free as working cats in a safe farm environment.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 72% 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

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of total spending goes to programs. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
