Overview

Mission

: The Purpose of The Ohio Pet Sanctuary, Inc. is to: 1. To create a charitable non-profit organization to rescue animals from situations in which owners find themselves no longer able to provide adequate care. 2. To rescue animals from situations that are abusive, endangering, or neglectful. 3. To rescue animals in danger of being euthanized at area shelters/pounds. 4. To provide shelter, food, medical care, and necessities for these animals. 5. To find new suitable homes that are capable of providing care for these animals. 6. To educate and promote the importance of spaying/neutering companion animals. 7. To educate the public on how to properly care for these animals to minimize the number of surrenders and abandonments.

What it reported doing in 2025

We have a small pet supply shop in the front of the rescue that generates money necessary to pay expenses such as utilities, water, etc. This year we were unable to spend any additional money on inventory and sold things that were already in the building.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 78% 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

MIXED - 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 a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
