Overview

Mission

Moore humane society is a private, non-profit animal shelter that practices no kill philosophies. The primary purpose is to rescue, rehabilitate and adopt homeless animals. We also provide community outreach programs such as low cost spay/neuter, tnr for ferel cats, and maintaining a park for animals to play.

What it reported doing in 2025

Low cost spay/neuter program, vet services, animal adoption

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 98% 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 available resources goes toward mission work and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
