Overview

Mission

Rescue abused & abandoned dogs & cats & adopt them to loving families giving them permanent homes. Provide education. Operate a free mobile hospital to spay & neuter dogs & cats in low income areas. Provide vet care for those who cannot afford it at our onsite vet hospital.

What it reported doing in 2024

Animal hospital: operates a full service veterinary hospital that also houses and treats our rescued dogs and cats that are up for adoption. Our hospital offers both pro bono and low cost services to low income, veterans, seniors, and the disabled clients, for their pets. It is estimated that the foundation provided approximately $318,400 of pro bono or discounted veterinary services to animals not adopted or rescued through the foundation and approximately $187,563 in veterinary services to amanda foundation animals in 2024. In addition to general wellness animal care, we also perform ultrasound, x-rays, dentistry, and in house lab work and surgery. In order to help fellow rescue charities we extend discounted services to them. We work with the hsus, spcala, aspca, petcare fund, among others.

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 - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Program spending has declined or grown slowly and revenue has declined or grown slowly.
