Mission and programs · 2025

Mission

Provide veterinary care to dogs and cats who would suffer without it, focusing on pets of low-income senior, veterans, disabled individuals and low-income families. Provide training and educatuion for animal shelter staff.

Activities or mission (Part I)

Provide veterinary care to dogs and cats who would suffer without it, focusing on pets of low-income senior citizens, along with providing education/training and consulting services for animal shelter staff, management and volunteers.

  • Options Veterinary Care is a full-service clinic providing affordable veterinary care to pets who would otherwise suffer without it in Northern Nevada. Options services prevent the suffering of pets when the person who loves them is unable to afford needed veterinary care. Options services benefit low-income senior pet owners who rely on their pet for companionship and reduce the numbers of pets surrendered to animal shelters, reducing the strain on them by keeping pets with the people who love them and out of shelters. Over 8,200 pets received care in 2025.

    Expenses $1,943,737 · Revenue $2,406,140

  • Animal shelter consulting, education and training: 2025 is the last year in which Humane Network provided these services which included the Animal Shelter Management Certificate Program offered through the University of the Pacific since 2013, which has since been given to Petco Love, another nonprofit entity in 2025. The extensive library of free resources, including recorded webinars, remain available for public use in the resources section of the Humane Network website.

    Expenses $82,318 · Revenue $95,962

  • The Alive and Thriving Program provides training in animal behavior, safe/humane animal handling, stress reduction, and enrichment for pets in animal shelters to shelter staff across the country. The program director is a certified animal behaviorist through the international association of animal behavior consultants (IAABC) and is an expert in behavioral care for dogs and cats in shelters. The Alive and Thriving Program provides free seminars (in person and online), a free animal behavior guide for shelters (available online), consulting services, and the shelter animal behavioral certificate program through the University of the Pacific. Organizations that cannot afford consulting support are eligible to receive reduced cost or free services thanks to the generosity of donors. Over 750 people received training in 2025.

    Expenses $62,286 · Revenue $39,991

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. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all.

As filed, from the IRS e-Postcard file of 9 November 2026. The IRS publishes only each organization's most recent postcard, so earlier years are not shown. A 990-N carries no financial detail. The postcard also gives the principal officer's address, which is not shown here.

Grants made

No itemized grants to organizations. Schedule I is filed only by organizations that granted more than $5,000 to a recipient, so most filers have none.

Grants received

Auto-Revocation List

Not listed. The IRS publishes this list for organizations whose exemption was automatically revoked for failing to file for three consecutive years.

Publication 78

Listed as of 13 October 2026, under deductibility PC.

These are two separate IRS files on two separate schedules, shown as published and not reconciled with each other. Neither is a statement about whether a contribution is deductible today: 19,245 organizations appear in Publication 78 while the IRS's own revocation file lists them as currently revoked, more than half of those revoked before 2019. Absence from Publication 78 is evidence of nothing, and presence is not evidence either. Verify current status with the IRS before relying on it.
