Financial health
We do not score finances when yearly spending is very small or the return has too little detail. The ratios stop meaning much at that size.

Governance
This organization files the short tax form, which does not ask about boards, policies or audits. That is normal for a small charity and is not a mark against it.

OCCASIONALLY, WE HAVE EVENTS FOR OUR MEMBERS INCLUDING A COSTUME PARTY ON HALLOWEEN OR A SUMMER PICNIC. FINALLY, WE ARE VERY INVOLVED IN THE COMMUNITY. WE SUPPORT A LOCAL PET FOOD PANTRY BY RAISING MONEY AT EVENTS LIKE PHOTOS WITH SANTA, WHERE PEOPLE PAY A SMALL FEE OR BRING PET FOOD, AND HAVE A PHOTO TAKEN WITH THEIR DOG AND SANTA. WE ALSO PARTICIPATE IN LOCAL PET EVENTS SUCH AS PAWFEST, A COMMUNITY PET FAIR WHERE WE PUT ON DOG TRICK DEMONSTRATIONS.
