Overview

Mission

Heidis Village is a hub for animal rescue organizations and community partners to come together and meet the needs of the animals and people they serve. Together, we strive to rescue, heal, rehabilitate, and find a home for pets in need, building a compassionate community where no one is left behind.

What it reported doing in 2025

Our full-service veterinary clinic performed 2,963 surgeries, preventing unwanted litters and saving lives, provided 4,720 vaccinations, and performed 2,614 comprehensive medical exams, delivering gold-standard treatment plans and follow-up care. These numbers represent only part of our impact. We provided comprehensive medical and surgical care for animals at risk of euthanasia due to treatable conditions and for rescue partners pets whose families might otherwise be forced to relinquish them because of the cost of care. Thanks to the support of our community, we can partially offset the cost of this care and help rescue partners save more animals, keep pets with the families who love them, and ensure continuity of affordable, high-quality care, even after adoption.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 67% 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.
  • Includes noncash contributions: Reported contributions include donated property or goods.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
