Overview

Mission

The promotion of animal welfare, preventing cruelty to animals, and providing educational services to the public through the distribution of educational materials.

What it reported doing in 2024

Our medical membership program is open to the public. This program helps members to keep pet medical costs affordable, and improves access to necessary pet medical services and products which can be cost prohibitive to many people. We hope to serve between 300 and 500 members by this time next year. This program supports the objective of promoting animal welfare, and preventing cruelty to animals.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 100% 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

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.
