What it reported doing in 2024

Planned pethood of Georgia performs medical services under contract for gwinnett county animal welfare and enforcement as well as several other smaller counties in close proximity to planned pethood. The contracts provide for a veterinary team to administer medical services for animals in the county's care. Planned pethood's veterinary team provides in-house evaluations and treatments including spay / neuter, treatments for illnesses and injuries, routine wellness care, testing and vaccinations, and heartworm treatments. With these services, suffering is alleviated and the spread of disease is prevented. Healthy animals are vetted and sterilized before adoption, allowing adopters the ability to adopt healthy animals and take them home on the same day.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 67% 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.
  • Includes noncash contributions: Reported contributions include donated property or goods.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
