  • ANIMAL SHELTERING, RESCUE, AND RE-HOMING: IN 2024, THERE WERE 1,013 ADOPTIONS OF CATS, DOGS, SMALL AND FARM ANIMALS FROM BCSPCA'S TWO SHELTERS IN LAHASKA AND QUAKERTOWN. MOST OF THESE ANIMALS WERE SURRENDERED OR LOST PETS WHO NEEDED OUR HELP TO FIND A NEW HOME. SOME WERE INJURED STRAY ANIMALS RESCUED THROUGH OUR 24-HOUR EMERGENCY HOTLINE, THE REST WERE RESCUED THROUGH OUR HUMANE LAW ENFORCEMENT INVESTIGATIONS OR TRANSFERRED IN FROM OTHER AGENCIES. ALL OF THESE ANIMALS RECEIVED NECESSARY FOOD, SHELTER, AND MEDICAL CARE, INCLUDING NEUTERING, VACCINATIONS, AND MICROCHIPPING FOR DOGS, CATS, AND RABBITS PRIOR TO ADOPTION. SOME RECEIVED SPECIALIZED CARE OR SURGERIES TO RECOVER FROM INJURY, ILLNESS, OR ABUSE. OUR SHELTERS ALSO PROVIDED SERVICES FOR HUNDREDS OF OTHER BUCKS COUNTY ANIMALS THROUGH THE FREE PET BEHAVIOR HELPLINE, DOG TRAINING CLASSES, LOST AND FOUND PET ASSISTANCE, AND SUBSIDIZED LOW-COST END OF LIFE SERVICES.

    Expenses $2,001,875 · Revenue $215,127

  • COMMUNITY OUTREACH: PROVIDES EDUCATION AND RESOURCES FOR THE HUMANE TREATMENT OF ANIMALS, AND A VARIETY OF SERVICES TO ASSIST STRUGGLING PET OWNERS WHO NEED HELP TO CARE FOR AND KEEP THEIR PETS. HUNDREDS OF STUDENTS RECEIVED TRAINING LAST YEAR ABOUT THE HUMANE TREATMENT OF ANIMALS THROUGH SHELTER TOURS, PRESENTATIONS, COMMUNITY EVENTS, AND SUPERVISION OF SERVICE PROJECTS. THE SURRENDER PREVENTION PROGRAM ASSISTED 148 HOUSEHOLDS AND THEIR ANIMALS. OVER $57,000 IN SMALL GRANTS WERE PROVIDED THROUGH PARTNERSHIP WITH LOCAL VETERINARY CLINICS TO ASSIST PET OWNERS IN OBTAINING THE ESSENTIAL MEDICAL CARE THEY NEEDED FOR THEIR ANIMALS. COUNTLESS OTHER PETS AND THEIR FAMILIES WERE AIDED THROUGH IN-KIND DONATIONS OF MORE THAN 11,000 POUNDS PET FOOD AND PET SUPPLIES DONATED TO LOCAL PANTRIES ACROSS THE COMMUNITY.

    Expenses $463,485

  • ANIMAL CRUELTY INVESTIGATION AND PROSECUTION: BCSPCA EMPLOYS A TEAM OF HUMANE LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS.

FROM THESE INVESTIGATIONS, BCSPCA RESCUED 266 ANIMALS AND PROVIDED THEM WITH THE MEDICAL AND OTHER ESSENTIAL CARE THEY NEEDED. IN ADDITION TO ENFORCEMENT OF ANIMAL CRUELTY LAWS, HUMANE LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS PROVIDE SPECIALIZED ASSISTANCE TO LOCAL POLICE FORCES, COMMUNITY EDUCATION, AND OTHER EFFORTS TO PREVENT AND RESOLVE ANIMAL-RELATED ISSUES ACROSS BUCKS COUNTY.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.
