Overview
Mission
At PAWS Rescue, Inc. we are committed to helping the at-risk cats and dogs of Southern Idaho by providing safe shelter, medical care and spay/neuter. We place animals in foster homes or transfer to other non-kill facilities that also practice spay or neuter. PAWS Rescue, Inc. strives to help all animals, including those in need of medical care with no other alternative for a live outcome.
What it reported doing in 2024
The rescue, fostering and adoption of animals that have been abandoned, were found as strays, surrendered by owners or transferred to us from high kill shelters.
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
STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
