Overview
Mission
LuAngel Special Pets Health Center is focused on improving the quality of life for animals with special needs, including pets with medical conditions, disabilities, behavioral issues, and advanced age. Our mission is to provide compassionate, personalized care while easing the emotional and financial burden on pet owners by offering affordable services such as mobile grooming, boarding, daycare, and community education. We are committed to reducing the number of unnecessary euthanasia cases by supporting vulnerable pets and helping them live longer, healthier, and more dignified lives.
What it reported doing in 2024
In 2024, LuAngel Special Needs Pets expanded its services with the acquisition of a van to provide mobile care specifically designed for animals with special needs. This included grooming and wellness services for senior pets, animals with behavioral issues, and cats who often require more time, patience, and specialized handling. The mobile format allowed for more personalized and stress-free care, especially for guardians who cannot transport their pets. In addition, we provided on-site services such as boarding and daycare, always focused on animals that traditional facilities often cannot accommodate. Every aspect of our work reflected our core mission: to serve vulnerable animals that need extra time, attention, and compassion.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Earned-program. 76% 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. Total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown and liabilities are high compared with assets.
