Form 990 for tax year 2024
Filed by LITTLE SHELTER ANIMAL ADOPTION CENTER INC.
What the amendment changed
Compared with the return it replaced , filed 10 November 2025. matched by us Only the return's totals, a 990-PF's accounting method and the names listed in Part VII (Part VIII on a 990-PF) are compared. We relate returns by organization, tax year and form, and order them by each return's own timestamp; the filer's own "amended return" checkbox is a separate fact.
Those are the same on the two returns, so the amendment changed something else.

Little Shelter assists other shelters by taking in some of their animals, thereby allowing them to rescue more homeless and unwanted animals. Little Shelter makes sure that the animals basic needs are met. Each animal receives medical and behavioral evaluations, a warm, safe place to stay, and plenty of nutritious food and water. The animals also receive personalized attention. They are walked frequently throughout the day and have time to play with our staff, volunteers and other animals.
Expenses $2,639,127
As filed on the 2024 return. A text marked withheld matched a screen for wording that may name a private individual, such as an honorific or "in memory of". Most of what it withholds names no one; it is withheld so that what does is never shown.

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.
