Activities or mission (Part I)

Dedicated to finding life-long loving homes for stray, abandoned and abused animals. The Organization concentrates on networking with other welfare agencies in the county and state to provide a safety net for animals with the least chance of survival in our local shelters.

  • AFRP operates an In-House Veterinary Clinic to provide spay and neuter services, surgery and on-going medical care including vaccines, micro-chipping, testing, x-rays, blood work and other preventative treatment for all dogs, cats that come into the AFRP Adoption Program. For services that cannot be done in-house, we have a network of vet clinics and specialist vets who work with us and provide a nonprofit discount for their services.

    Expenses $797,367 · Revenue $257,635

  • Animal Friends Rescue Project (AFRP) is a safety net for the most at risk animals in our local shelters. These animals are typically too young, too old, injured, abused, shy and overlooked dogs and cats that do not do well in the shelter environment. AFRP rescued and found homes for 167 dogs, cats during the 2024 fiscal year with the help of over 125 volunteers. Our adoption center in Pacific Grove continues to be a successful location for finding new homes for dogs and cats.

    Expenses $268,442 · Revenue $23,706

  • The Road to Rescue program transports dogs at risk of being euthanized in shelters to rescue groups located throughout California and the Northwest. This program transports animals on behalf of other shelters, such as Hitchcock Road Animal Services, Tulare County Animal Services, and Fresno Humane Animal Services at no cost to the government agencies.

    Expenses $15,362

  • Community Outreach/Spay & Neuter Program - AFRP's Clinic provides low cost spay/neuter services for small/medium dogs and cats for the public, helping a segment of the public be able to address pet overpopulation in a cost effective manner. In 2024, the AFRP Clinic spayed and neuterd 121 dogs and 681 cats (non-feral). Through donations and grants, the AFRP Clinic also conducted TNR clinics throughout 2024 for feral cats. Our goal with these targeted programs is to reduce the numbers of animals being born or found roaming from entering into the shelter system by providing access to affordable spay neuter services therefore making it a desirable option for the community to help reduce the number of unwanted animals needing assistance. The TNR Clinics spayed and neutered 1,464 feral cats in 2024.

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.

California fundraising campaigns

Campaigns run by paid fundraisers, commercial coventurers and thrift stores naming this organization, as California published them. Both figures are as filed, and what the first one counts depends on the campaign type — a coventurer or a thrift store files its own sales rather than money collected for the charity. The 990 reports this only as a yearly total, never per campaign.

Amounts are as filed and do not add up: a commercial coventurer reports one promotion's whole gross once for each charity that shared in it. A campaign may also name more than one registered charity, in which case it appears on each.

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.
