Mission and programs · 2024

Mission

To prevent the suffering and death of companion animals and to enrich the human-animal bond by providing excellent, accessible, and affordable spay/neuter and veterinary care.

Activities or mission (Part I)

SNAP prevents the suffering and death of companion animals and enriches the human animal bond.

  • The Spay-Neuter Assistance Program accomplishes its mission through its programs: The Solution Begins Here, which provides low-cost spay/neuter services; Caring for our Companions, which provides low-cost wellness services; and Empowering People & Pets, which offers subsidized services. See Schedule O for program accomplishments.THE SOLUTION BEGINS HERE (Low-Cost Spay/Neuter) In FY 2025, 23,946 dogs and cats were spayed/neutered through SNAP's publicly offered low-cost spay/neuter program, The Solution Begins Here. These animals represent about 10,000 families whose lives were improved by making spaying/neutering accessible and affordable for their companion animals. Removing hormonal behaviors in these animals has helped improve the human-animal bond, a bond that numerous studies have shown provides tremendous emotional, mental, and physical health benefits for human caregivers.Besides curbing pet overpopulation and preventing the suffering and death of millions of unwanted puppies and kittens, these services have positively impacted public welfare. Public health is improved by reducing the threat and incidence of rabies spread by dogs and decreasing the number of dog bites (disproportionately caused by un-neutered male dogs). Reducing the number of stray animals roaming neighborhoods and the number of carcasses in our landfills creates a safer, cleaner environment.Municipalities and taxpayers have saved money by reducing the number of animals picked up off the streets, impounded, and euthanized in animal control facilities and shelters (nationwide, these expenses are estimated to be as high as $2 billion annually). Reducing the killing of healthy, adoptable dogs and cats has improved community livability standards and public sentiment.CARING FOR OUR COMPANIONS (Low-Cost Wellness) - In FY 2025, 7,170 animals received veterinary care through SNAP's low-cost veterinary wellness program, Caring for Our Companions. SNAP's wellness services include wellness examination, Feline Leukemia & heartworm testing; Rabies, Bordetella, Distemper, Parvo, Canine Influenza, and Feline Leukemia vaccinations & boosters; parasite treatment & prevention; and micro-chipping. In addition to improving the health and well-being of the animals who receive care at SNAP, by making these services accessible and affordable, SNAP is building stronger, happier, and healthier families and providing a public health benefit to our communities.EMPOWERING PEOPLE & PETS (Subsidized Services) - In FY 2025, Empowering People & Pets SNAP's program to provide partially or fully-subsidized spay/neuter and veterinary wellness care to the companion animals of income-qualifying clients provided spay/neuter surgeries and rabies vaccinations for 1,435 dogs and cats. Studies have shown a direct correlation between the likelihood of companion animals being spayed/neutered and family income. Therefore, subsidizing these services for clients who live below the poverty level is striking at the very root of the problem of animal homelessness, abandonment, shelter intake, and euthanasia. The clients (who qualify based on participation in government assistance programs) have been empowered by the opportunity to provide a previously unattainable level of care for their pets, while contributing to the solution of animal overpopulation charitable funding for the program allowed SNAP to subsidize these services.In addition to the immediate financial benefit of free services, these clients could avoid the compounded expenses of future generations of unwanted puppies and kittens. Allowing pets a chance to live their lives free from hormonal urges, preventable diseases, reproductive cancers, and the discomfort and dangers of giving birth. Removing hormonal behaviors in these companion animals has helped improve the human-animal bond. Numerous studies have shown tremendous emotional, mental, and physical health benefits for human caregivers.

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. 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 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.
