Overview

Mission

Placing animals of terminally ill patients in new homes

What it reported doing in 2024

The organization placed 30 animals in new homes in 2024. The organization took in 32 animals in 2024. Each animal receives medical and behavioral evaluations, vacinations and neutering, if applicable, before adoption

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
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 a large share of available resources goes toward mission work. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and program spending has declined or grown slowly.
