Overview

Mission

To provide food supplies and veterinary care for pets owned by disadvantaged families and persons.

What it reported doing in 2025

TRIGGERS TRIBUTE -This program was created to honor seriously injured or fallen First Responder pet families. First Responders give of themselves daily. In a crisis they run toward the problem sacrificing themselves to help others in critical need. Through this program we humbly honor first responders and their families in this small way of coming to their aid and giving back to them and their beloved companion pets during their time of need. This program may offer various pet-related support services to the family as needed and deemed appropriate by the Hand & Paw Board. Eligible First Responders include those actively serving locally - Police Fire EMS - and Military personnel.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent spending detail to tell whether the nonprofit works directly or through others.
  • Includes noncash contributions: Reported contributions include donated property or goods.

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 total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
