Overview
Mission
To inspire our community to cultivate the values of kind, compassionate, responsible, humane care of the county's animals, including stray, feral, and owned, through both education and community-based programs, and to prevent cruelty to animals, wherever we find it.
What it reported doing in 2025
Other programs included educational outreach, support for CCAS, and Community Outreach for At-Risk Dogs (CORD) Education Program - FOCCAS reaches out to local schools and various organizations, churches, etc. to provide books and programs about pet and animal care. Educating the next generations of pet owners is paramount in bringing about real and lasting change in animal welfare. CORD - This program is designed to help those less fortunate who still want to provide a loving home to a pet. FOCCAS will provide doghouses, straw for cold months, and even fencing to prevent dogs from being tethered outside 24/7 to those community members who request this assistance.
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.
