What it says it does

We believe that all pets deserve life love and limitless humane care Thats why not only do we assist with the rescue of abandoned neglected abused and unwanted pets in the USA including those in danger of euthanasia at kill shelters but we also assist with animals after they have left the shelter including those with training and vetting needs. In addition we advocate for the rights of homeless animals housed in shelter facilities to receive humane treatment and enrichment. We believe that every pet deserves a loving home and the best care and opportunities for a healthy happy life.

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.
