Overview
Mission
Happy tails volunteers share the unconditional love of their pets with people of all ages with physical, social, emotional and cognitive needs at healthcare facilities, social agencies and special needs programs throughout the metro atlanta community.
What it reported doing in 2025
Happy tails is operated by a volunteer board, counseled by a veterinary advisory board and supported by an advisory board of local professionals. Recruiting new members/pet teams: happy tails continues to work on expanding our membership of human and companion animal volunteer teams in order to meet the growing need for pet therapy services. While our volunteer membership continues to grow over the past year, we do not have enough members to meet the growing need for pet therapy services in the greater atlanta area. There are more than 150 facilities that have applied for and are waitlisted for happy tails teams to begin visiting. We have enhanced (and continue to improve on) our support for recruiting services pet-handler evaluators, member orientation and ongoing training, team leader training, quality monitoring and improvement of the services we provide. The board monitors recruiting efforts, and measures the number of attendees at orientation sessions, which is the first step to membership. Additionally, the board oversees membership activities and interactions to ensure retention of visiting teams - this includes bbringing back our member annual meeting to provide udates, volunteer needs, connecting teams with leaders and training.financial strength through improved fundraising: happy tails works to maintain a strong financial position which enables it to continue to accomplish its mission. Our human and animal volunteers are also goodwill ambassadors as we often receive donations in which a person impacted by a visit, family member, friend or facility recognizes the special impact of a happy tails visit. We are growing our fundraising efforts by partnering with local pet friendly facilities and the annual giving tuesday campaign efforts. Building stronger relationships with the facilities we serve: happy tails seeks to create supportive positive relationships with the facilities we serve. Happy tails teams create interactions with the facility patients, clients and staff that contribute to the facility mission. Often facility employees are as eager, if not more so, to visit with the happy tails teams who continue to visit and support the facility throughout and over years. In the past year, we paricipated in the ancc magnet pathways conference.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 94% 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 revenue comfortably covers expenses. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
