Overview

Mission

Animal Shelter for stray and unwanted animals

What it reported doing in 2024

To provide a safe and clean environment for the animals until a new home can be provided. Animals are physically examined, receive immunizations, and are spayed or neutered.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 72% 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 - 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 and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
