Overview
Mission
Center valley animal rescue believes that all creatures have inherent value, a right to life, and are entitled to have their basic needs met in a kind and caring manner. The organization is dedicated to finding loving homes for animals in their care eligible for adoption and to provide permanent, humane sanctuary for those animals that cannot be adopted.
What it reported doing in 2025
The primary objective of center valley animal rescue is to build a "no kill" animal shelter in order to provide safe harbor for abandoned and unwanted domesticated animals, to provide treatment in a kind and caring manner for animals placed in their protection, to seek suitable homes for animals eligible for adoption, to provide a permanent sanctuary to animals in need, and, as a last resort, to provide euthanasia when it is deemed necessary as a humane means to end an animal's suffering.
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.
- Includes noncash contributions: Reported contributions include donated property or goods.
The verdict
SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of voting board members are independent and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
