Overview
Mission
Animal Welfare and Education
What it reported doing in 2024
HAWS Education program just keeps growing. We were in more counties this year. We are educating more and more Pet owners in hopes of keeping their pets in their homes. We provide them flea, tick and worm treatments. We offer Free and low cost spay neuter to them We purchase publications in both Spanish and English to make sure we are reaching and educating as many cultures as we can about the proper and humane care of their outdoor and chained dogs.We purchase Coloring books in Spanish and English to teach the children of all cultures that we can about proper pet care. We have mailed out many fliers with our contact information and what education and help that we offer in hopes of reaching and educating even more people on the proper and humane care and treatment of outside and chained dogs. We also educate about alternatives to chaining dogs all day and night. We feel that education is the key to change and better care of their pets,
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
STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Revenue has declined or grown slowly and expenses are high relative to revenue.
