Overview

Mission

Committed to the rescue and adoption of animals from shelters, reducing the euthanasia of adoptable pets within our community. Using community resources, we will provide and support an adoptive friendly no-kill shelter for rescued animals while they wait on their adoptive homes.

What it reported doing in 2024

Organization has purchased a permanet shelter and kennel area at nearly $1,000,000 that will allow the organizaiton to increase substantially its ability to rescue and protect pets from being euthanized at local government shelters. It has allowed also a place for those to bring their pets than can no longer care for them. The affordability and enormous cost of the shelter relies upon the organizations ability to board pets to be able to pay for and maintain the facility. The organizaiton will now be able to increase significantly the ability to find owners for these pets.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 65% 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 - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of available resources goes toward mission work. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and liabilities are high compared with assets.
