Bark Party Charities
Public records show a registered, tax-exempt organization in good standing.
What it says it does
BARK PARTY CHARITIES RESCUES ANIMALS FROM HIGH-KILL SHELTERS, PLACES THEM INTO FOSTER CARE, AND FINDS THEM FUR-EVER HOMES. THE ORGANIZATION STRIVES TO CHANGE THE NEGATIVE PERCEPTION OF SHELTER PETS. THE ONLY THING WRONG WITH THESE LOVING ANIMALS IS THAT THEY DON'T HAVE A PERSON OR FAMILY TO GIVE THEM A HOME! MANY TIMES, HUMAN SENIORS AND PET SENIORS ARE A PERFECT MATCH. STRAY OR ABANDONED SENIOR PETS NEED A LOVING ENVIRONMENT TO RETIRE IN, AND ARE OFTEN OVERLOOKED IN THE SHELTERS. HUMAN SENIORS MAY WANT A PET, BUT NEED A LITTLE EXTRA SUPPORT WITH VET BILLS OR GROOMING TO MAKE IT WORK. BARK PARTY CHARITIES PROVIDE THAT SUPPORT TO QUALIFIED SENIORS.

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.
