Overview
Mission
To operate as an animal shelter by taking in stray or surrendered animals. We provide medical care and surgical care, including spaying and neutering of all animals if needed prior to adoption.
What it reported doing in 2025
The Tama County Humane Society contracts to take in stray animals from 4 municipalities and also takes in pets surrendered by their owner. We provide food and shelter for these animals. All animals are dewormed, vaccinated, microchipped and treated for ectoparasites. Medical treatment is available if needed, and all animals are spayed or neutered if applicable. Animals in the shelter are available for adoption. Care is provided for approximately 300 animals annually.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 67% 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
SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of available resources goes toward mission work. Expenses are high relative to revenue and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
