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.

Programs described in its return (1)
- $136,036 spent. AFTER COUNTLESS HOURS VISITING WEBSITES BELONGING TO 501C3 NONPROFIT ANIMAL SANCTUARIES AND RESCUES; ALL OF WHICH CLAIMED TO BE FILLED TO CAPACITY AND HAVING TO TURN HUNDREDS OF ANIMALS AWAY DUE TO, OF COURSE, LACK OF FUNDS; AND THE PRIVATE PET OWNERS IT WAS DECIDED TO START ANOTHER EXOTIC ANIMAL; WE PREFER THE TERM; SHELTER. IT IS OUR BELIEF THAT THE NUMBER OF EXOTIC ANIMALS IN NEED OF HOMES, PARTICULARLY ONES FROM PRIVATE OWNERS, HAS BEEN GREATLY EXAGGERATED IN THE PAST, BUT DUE TO THE PUSH TO ABOLISH EXOTIC ANIMAL OWNERSHIP THERE IS MORE OF A NEED THAN EVER FOR GOOD SHELTERS. AS A SANCTUARY/RESCUE ETC... YOU CAN CHOOSE THE ANIMALS YOU WANT, THUS TAKING ONLY THOSE ANIMALS THAT WILL ENHANCE YOUR COLLECTION OR THOSE COMING WITH FREE MEDIA EXPOSURE TO PERPETUATE THE ACTIVIST AGENDA. DUE TO THIS BELIEF, F.E.A.R. WILL KEEP A TALLY ON THIS WEBSITE OF ALL PLACEMENT REQUESTS, AND IF THE ANIMAL WAS PLACED OR RE-HOMED HERE. F.E.A.R. WAS CREATED SPECIFICALLY FOR THOSE THAT HAVE EXOTIC PETS AND NEED TO RELOCATE THEM FOR REASONS BEYOND THEIR CONTROL. THERE WILL BE NO WEBSITE STORIES OF ABUSE AND NEGLECT. WE WILL MAKE EVERY EFFORT TO HELP YOU KEEP YOUR ANIMAL(S),IF THIS IS NOT POSSIBLE THEN WE WILL HELP YOU LOCATE A FACILITY CLOSE TO YOU SO YOU CAN CHECK ON THEM FROM TIME TO TIME. IF ALL EFFORTS FAIL; AT YOUR REQUEST; WE WILL OFFER THEM A PERMANENT HOME AT F.E.A.R.
