Overview

Mission

Animal rescue and community outreach

What it reported doing in 2024

Animal adoptions to individuals after pulling from shelters and intaking directly from owners. Providing all necessary medical and routine care, boarding, training, and other needs to said animals while in our care. We placed over 100 homeless animals in adoptive homes in 2024.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 82% 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 a large share of total spending goes to programs. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and program spending has declined or grown slowly.
