Overview
Mission
The purpose of this charity is to pull animals from overcrowded southern shelters and transport them primarily to out-of-state rescues that have space and higher adoption rates. This will ensure that the animals are sterilized prior to adoption and will also decrease the burden of care on southern shelters. We also intend to increase community awareness of the issue of overpopulatoin. We educate and promote low-cost spaying and neutering of pets.
What it reported doing in 2025
We successfully transported 2,566 animals to out of state rescues in 2025. This decreased the need for euthanasia and freed up kennel space in tn shelters. It also decreased the burden of care and expense on the tn shelters. All of those animals were spayed or neutered prior to adoption which will prevent future unwanted animals. Before an animal can be transported out of state, an examination by a licensed veteranarian is required and age appropriate vaccines are given.
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 - 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 total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
