Overview

Mission

Exempt Purpose: Prevention of Cruelty to Animals: Heavenly Pet Sanctuarys primary purpose is to rescue and shelter homeless companion animals dogs and cats, provide them with veterinary care, neutering and spaying and place them into permanent homes through adoptions.

What it reported doing in 2025

Pet Adoption: Heavenly Pet seeks to find permanent, adoptive homes for our rescued pets. In 2025 we adopted 26 cats and 5 dogs to families all over Iowa and neighboring states. All of the adopted pets received complete healthcare prior to adoption which included, microchip, vaccinations, neutering or spaying, parasite removal and in most cases bloodwork to determine if any transmissible viruses are present. Our pets are listed on an internet database as well as our website with their pictures, videos and descriptions and a link to our adoption application. Each applicant is carefully screened for suitability and home visits are often conducted. Cats and dogs are adopted for a significantly lower fee than the expense of the treatments necessary to prepare them for adoption.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 98% 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.
