Overview

Mission

The SOS Animal Adoption Center is a no-kill dog and cat rescue. After the animals are rescued, they are seen by a veterinarian. If they are not neutered, they are at that time, made current on vaccinations, microchipped, and then housed in our facility, which can accommodate approximately 60 dogs and 35 cats. When an appropriate adopter is located, the animal is released to that individual.

What it reported doing in 2024

The only program service that we offer is the rescuing and adopting out of lost and/or abandoned dogs and cats. Our expenses are limited to veterinary bills, and our revenue consists of adoption fees.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 79% 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.
