Overview
Mission
We rescue and find homes for cats, dogs, small mammals, and reptiles in New York, New Jersey and the island of Puerto Rico.
What it reported doing in 2024
Animal Rescue & Adoptions- Puerto Rico to NYC. We work partnership with several prominent animal rescue foundations and shelters in San Juan, Puerto Rico to rescue, provide veterinary care, and transport homeless cats and dogs from the island to NYC where we help them find permanent homes. Our organization was founded with the goal of rescuing animals in Puerto Rico, and it remains a central part of our mission. The Puerto Rican pet overpopulation crisis is a major concern, with over 100,000 dogs and cats purportedly born on the island every year. Sadly, many of these animals do not survive due to overcrowded shelters, euthanasia, disease, starvation, and many other perils. To help address this issue, we believe that government municipalities should allow organizations like the ASPCA and HSUS to help spay and neuter animals aggressively. Additionally, community and government support for animal welfare on the island would make a huge impact in ameliorating this problem. We are committed to continuing our work rescuing and rehoming dogs and cats from Puerto Rico until more progress on the island is made.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Earned-program. 78% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
- 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. Expenses are high relative to revenue and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
