Mission and programs · 2024

Mission

Improve the quality of life for animals and their families in our community and reduce the number of animals surrendered to the animal shelter.

  • Kitty Clip and Pit Stop. Low cost spay/neuter vouchers for dogs and cats to be redeemed at local clinics. Our goal is to reduce the number of animals brought to the local shelter who might be euthanized. 1508 cats were spay/neutered in 2024. 140 dogs were spay/neutered in 2024.

    Expenses $95,631

  • No Empty Bowl pet food pantry. Started in March 2020 to address the need for pet food help due to the loss of income due to the pandemic. Continued since this is a reason some people surrender their pets to the shelter and our goal is to keep pets in their homes. We provided pet food for 3,268 pets in 2024.

    Expenses $51,161

  • Rescue/Medical sponsorships. Provided to Wake County Animal Center, adopters and rescues to help with costly medical expenses for animals at the center. Without our assistance these animals may be euthanized. 144 animals were sponsored in 2024.

    Expenses $48,946

  • Through Community Outreach we helped 75 pets and their families directly with pet food, pet housing and vet care.

    Expenses $5,720

  • Heal a Heart provides sponsorships for adopted dogs who are heartworm positive to give them a better chance at adoption. 44 dogs were treated with our sponsorship in 2024.

    Expenses $17,903

  • DEGA medical veterinary care in disaster relief area

    Expenses $5,000

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

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.
