Mission and programs · 2024

Mission

Our mission is to provide compassionate services to pets and people in crisis.

  • Rescue to Adoption Program: Our Rescue to Adoption Program is the foundation of our mission. In 2024, we rescued 1,619 dogs and cats through public intake and transfers from overcrowded or high-risk rural shelters. Every animal received safe shelter, daily care, medical treatment, enrichment, and the opportunity to be adopted into a loving home. As a no-kill shelter, we are committed to giving every pet the time and care they need to heal and thrive.

    Expenses $1,455,718

  • Temporary Care Program: Our Temporary Care Program is one of the first of its kind in the country-a trailblazing model that supports both people and pets during times of crisis. It provides up to 120 days of safe shelter for pets while their families navigate through domestic violence, homelessness, hospitalization, eviction, or financial hardship. By giving families peace of mind that their pets are safe, this program removes a major barrier to accessing critical services like shelters, hospitals, or recovery programs-allowing familes to stabilize, heal, and ultimately reunite.In 2024, we cared for 246 pets, delivering 20,091 days of safe shelter, along with veterinary care, nutritious food, daily enrichment, and light case management to support their people.

    Expenses $499,103

  • Pet Food Bank Program: In hard times, something as basic as pet food can keep a family together. In 2024,we distributed 128,510 meals to feed 2,111 pets through our Pet Food Bank. This essential service helps families stay whole, reduces pet surrenders, and pevents avoidable heartbreak during financial crisis.

    Expenses $124,776

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. Showing the 10 most recent; the API carries the rest.

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

The 10 largest by cash amount. The API serves every itemized grant.

Other IRS files

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 11 November 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.
