Overview

Mission

Furry friends rescue is a volunteer-based organization dedicated to saving and improving the lives of dogs and cats destined to be euthanized in California shelters.

What it reported doing in 2025

We rescue dogs and cats from local shelters and occasionally through public surrender. We obtain vet exam and all necessary medical care, including spay/neuter at correct age for breed. We place in foster homes that are supplied with all necessary supplies to care for the dogs/cats. We receive applications for adoption, review all, interview the best, perform home visits, supervise meeting between potential adopters and animals. Complete adoption contract and ensure training (if required) and spay/neuter is performed at correct time if not completed already at time of adoption. We take back our adopted animals for life.

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

MIXED - The filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
