Overview

Mission

To positively impact the companion pet population, making every pet a wanted pet through the use of education and high quality, low cost spay and neuter programs and vaccination services.

What it reported doing in 2025

Woodstock animal foundation's impact on our community continues to grow. Our lexington clinic location was able to add another part-time surgeon in 2025. Because of this, the annual number of companion animal spay and neuter surgeries performed again increased, this time from 5,438 in 2024 to 6,183 in 2025. In addition to spay and neuter, the clinic completed 85 other surgical procedures at a low cost to prevent suffering and enable much loved pets to remain in their homes. Woodstock's mobile surgery team, which operates primarily in under-served rural counties, spayed and neutered an additional 1,219 pets. 2025 also saw our rescue division accomplish the placement of 431 pets into adoptive homes, with roughly 55 volunteers, including our invaluable fosters, generously giving their time to our cause.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 90% 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

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 total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
