Overview
Mission
Working swiftly and compassionately through veternary hospitals in Erie and Niagara Counties, to create a lifeline of financial support for companion animals whos owners cant afford the full burdon of lifesaving and life-altering medical intervention and treatment.
What it reported doing in 2025
Provided financial support for life saving and life-altering care for owners of companion animals cannot afford the full burden of the veternary costs. We helped more than 300 animals at 27 veternary hospitals throughout Erie and Niagara County.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 85% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
- Distribution model
- Grant intermediary. The nonprofit sent 100% of its reported program spending out as grants.
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 reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
