Overview

Mission

To shelter and provide medical care for dogs and cats rescued from animal control facilities and individuals until permanent homes are found for them. Educate the public about daily care and responsibilities of having a family pet.

What it reported doing in 2025

Animal shelter and pet adoption center. Provide daily care and feeding of animals. Dogs and cats are housed in air conditioned buildings. Prior to adoption all animals are given a health check by a licensed veterinarian, are spayed/neutered, have received full vaccinations, have been given their rabies shot and are microchipped. All animals are on monthly heartworm and flea preventative and are de-wormed. Cats are fiv/felv negative and dogs are tested and treated for heartworm infection, making them hw negative prior to adoption. During 2025, 152 animals were adopted from the shelter.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 81% 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 expenses are high relative to revenue.
