Overview

Mission

Village pet foundation was created to help individuals and families struggling to pay veterinary bills for their sick and suffering pets.

What it reported doing in 2024

We pay vet bills for families struggling financially to take care of their pets. We also provide free loaner pet wheelchairs to pets in danger of being euthanized for limb immobility, as their owners can't afford the high price of a whhelchair. We have created a partnership with the sheriff department to take care of pets of the homeless.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 82% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
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

MIXED - The filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of voting board members are independent and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
