Overview
Mission
To rescue and care for the most vulnerable animals, those abandoned, abused, or neglected, by providing sanctuary, rehabilitation, and individualized paths forward, while sharing their stories of survival and perseverance to create a more compassionate community
What it reported doing in 2025
In 2025 we rescued 18 animals including our first cow giving us 110 rescued animal residents. We had 50 monthly volunteers who worked 5,376 hours. Our team received 221 hours of formal training, not including the everday barn/animal care modules available to all volunteers. We also implemented an Animal Enrichment Manual which included training sessions and Horse Handling Instructions. Continually raising the bar, our leadership saw a need, and we now offer Grief Counseling & Mental Health Support for both staff and volunteers. Our Infrastructure improvements included: Barn insulation, motions sensor lighting, additional enclosure fencing and a run-in shelter. We are in the process of obtaining our GFAS certification and laid the groundwork for new programs in 2026 including STAI Forever Program (Solutions to Avoid Intake) & Foreverlanding Adoption & Placement Program.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 100% 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
SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and expenses are high relative to revenue.
