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.

Programs described in its return (1)
- $83,517 spent. OUR RESCUE PROVIDES A FREE-ROAM RETIREMENT HOME FOR UNWANTED, ABUSED AND ABANDONED ANIMALS. WE HOST WORKSHOPS TO TEACH PEOPLE SUSTAINABLE LAND, LIVESTOCK AND RESOURCE MANAGEMENT AND BASIC LIVESTOCK HANDLING. THEY CAN LEARN THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN VARIOUS LIVESTOCK, E.G., HOW A LLAMA DIFFERS FROM AN ALPACA. WE DO NOT KEEP THE ANIMALS PERMANENTLY CONFINED IN CORRALS, ASIDE FROM THE FOWL WHICH ARE KEPT IN ENCLOSURES TO PROTECT THEM FROM PREDATORS. THE ONLY ANIMALS THAT ARE KEPT IN ENCLOSURES ARE OLDER, IN QUARANTINE, INJURED, OR IN TRAINING. MOST OF OUR BOVINES, EQUINES, CAMELIDS, OVINE, AND CAPRINE ARE LOOSE ON THE 33-ACRE RANCH. THIS ENABLES THE LIVESTOCK TO INTERACT AMONG THEMSELVES AND WITH PEOPLE AND TO THE LEVEL THEY ARE COMFORTABLE. ALL THE RANCH RESIDENTS ARE MAINTAINED WITH A HEALTHY DIET, ON-SITE VETERINARIAN CARE AND OTHER SERVICES AS NEEDED FOR THAT ANIMAL. WE WORK WITH ANY ANIMAL THAT IS SHY OR HAS BEHAVIORAL ISSUES TO HELP THEM INTEGRATE WITH THE REST OF THE HERD. WE FOSTER THE HUMAN-ANIMAL BOND BY PROTECTING THE SAFETY AND WELFARE OF THE RANCH RESIDENTS.
