Overview

Mission

To provide a safe, no-kill shelter for homeless, abused, and neglected animals, and to promote animal welfare through education, spay/neuter programs, and community outreach.

What it reported doing in 2025

The organization's primary mission is to provide care, shelter, and adoption services for homeless and displaced animals. During the tax year, the organization rescued, sheltered, and facilitated the adoption of companion animals within the local community. Services included intake of stray and surrendered animals, provision of veterinary care, and coordination of adoption placements. The organization also engaged in community outreach efforts to promote responsible pet ownership and support animal welfare initiatives. The organization anticipates continuing these programs in future years.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 71% 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 most voting board members are independent. A relatively small share of total spending goes to programs and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
