Mission

Support Frederick County Animal Control

What it reported doing in 2025

Project Hope: Pays for veterinary care or training costs for families that need help either keeping their pets or rehoming them to avoid shelter surrender

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 76% 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 - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of total spending goes to programs. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work.
