Overview

Mission

Rescue animals from abusive, endangering or neglectful situations or in danger of being euthanized. To provide necessary veterinary care, provide homes, place rescued animals in permanent homes. To educate and prmote the importance of spay/neuter and how to prevent animal cruelty. This facility is operated as a "no-kill" shelter.

What it reported doing in 2025

In 2025, Concordia PAWS had 140 dogs and puppies transported with the hope they will be adopted into loving homes. 19 dogs were adopted locally. 9 dogs were euthanized for health reasons. Additional kennel spaces were built to meet the increasing number of abandoned and neglected dogs brought to the shelter. At the end of 2025, there was a total of 70 adult dogs and 14 puppies still at the shelter and 15 dogs that were being fostered. We remain at full capacity.

Operating model

Revenue model
Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent revenue detail to tell how this nonprofit funds its work.
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 - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Expenses are high relative to revenue and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
