Overview

Mission

To provide a licensed, no-kill shelter for homeless animals until adopted into a loving and caring lifetime environment; to reduce the population of stray animals; and to promote responsible pet ownership.

What it reported doing in 2025

Provide a licensed, no-kill shelter for homeless animals until adopted; reduce the population of stray animals; promote responsible pet ownership. Adopted out hundreds of dogs and cats, primarily pulled from overcrowded local county shelters. In addition to our adoption efforts, we hosted multiple low-cost vaccine and microchip clinics for owned pets in the community, helping promote responsible pet ownership and reduce shelter intake.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 74% 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 - A large share of total spending goes to programs and the filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
