Overview

Mission

Animal adoption, spay and neuter programs.

Humane Society goals of uniting stray or unwanted pets into new, loving homes after being spayed or neutered to prevent future over population of cats and dogs. Costs include housing the animals in the shelter until adoption and their medical care.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 63% 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 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.
