Overview
Mission
Spirit animal sanctuary is a not-for-profit facility that provides food, water, housing, emergency medical care, regular veterinary care, enrichment and ongoing behavior modification training for approximately 100 behaviorally or medically challenged dogs in our care. The sanctuary also offered canine behavior advice through blogs and over 100 email consultations. This will further the general understanding of the inherited behavior of dogs. We are special - we provide a "home for life" for unadoptable dogs. We must make sure that the dogs we save will have a life worth living. Dogs are social pack animals - they never do well in solitary kennel environments. We have provided a space that ensures their optimum happiness. The sanctuary is committed to making each dog's life as free and happy as possible - a life worth living. The sanctuary raises funds for sanctuary purposes through foundations and private donations.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 100% 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. Revenue has declined or grown slowly and expenses are high relative to revenue.
