Mission

OPERATION OF ANIMAL SHELTER

  • THE SHELTER PROVIDES HOUSING AND CARE FOR OVER A THOUSAND SURRENDERED OR STRAY ANIMALS EACH YEAR. THE ORGANIZATION PARTNERS WITH LOCAL ORGANIZATIONS AND VETERINARIANS TO PROVIDE LOW COST SPAY/NEUTER SERVICES. THE SHELTER DOES NOT EUTHANIZE ANY ADOPTABLE ANIMALS DUE TO LENGTH OF STAY. WHEN EXCESS CAPACITY IS AVAILABLE, THE SHELTER IS ABLE TO ASSIST OTHER ORGANIZATIONS AND LOCALITIES, SUCH AS INDIAN RESERVATIONS AND MUNICIPAL SHELTERS, TO HELP FIND HOMES FOR THEIR ANIMALS AS WELL. IN ADDITION TO CARING FOR ANIMALS, THE ORGANIZATION DOES PUBLIC OUTREACH AND INFORMATION TO INCREASE AWARENESS OF HUMANE ANIMAL PRACTICES. THE SHELTER OFFERS SAFETY-NET PROGRAMS FOR THE COMMUNITY THROUGH ITS FRIENDS FOR LIFE FUND, INCLUDING LOW-COST VETERINARY CARE, TRAINING, SUPPLIES, AND PET FOOD TO FAMILIES IN NEED. IN 2024, STAFFORD WAS ABLE TO TAKE IN A TOTAL OF 1389 ANIMALS(534 CATS, 716 DOGS & 139 MISC OTHER SMALL ANIMALS). 789 OF THOSE ANIMALS WERE ADOPTED TO NEW HOMES AND 185 OF THEM WERE RETURNED TO OWNERS. THE SHELTER HAD A 98% LIFESAVING RATE FOR 2024 IN JUNE OF 2022 THERE WAS CATASTROPHIC FLOODING OF THE NEARBY YELLOWSTONE RIVER. THE SHELTER WAS BADLY DAMAGED IN THE FLOOD AND WAS FORCED TO CLOSE UNTIL IT COULD BE REPAIRED OR REBUILT. ALL OF THE SHELTER ANIMALS WERE RESCUED. OTHER LOCAL ANIMAL SHELTERS AND THE COMMUNITY HAVE BEEN VERY SUPPORTIVE IN COPING WITH THIS SITUATION AND FINDING TEMPORARY ALTERNATIVES TO PROVIDING THE NECESSARY CARE. THE SHELTER REOPENED IN LIMITED CAPACITY IN OCTOBER 2022. THE SHELTER FULLY REOPENED IN JANUARY 2023, HOWEVER RESTORATION CONTINUED INTO 2024. DONATIONS WERE APPROXIMATELY HALF OF THE PRIOR YEAR, DUE PRIMARILY TO AN ESTATE DONATION OF 400,000 IN 2024.

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.
