What it says it does

THE PURPOSE OF THIS NON-PROFIT IS TO HELP FARM AND DOMESTIC ANIMALS IN NEED THROUGH RESCUING, REHABILITATING AND SHELTERING, WHILE PROVIDING EDUCATION, ADOPTION, SPAY/NEUTER AND COMMUNITY OUTREACH VOLUNTEER PROGRAMS. FOR MANY RESCUED ANIMALS, WOODHAVEN RESCUE FARM BECOMES THEIR SANCTUARY, AND THEY ARE ALLOWED TO LIVE OUT THE REST OF THEIR LIVES HERE IN A SAFE AND SECURE ENVIRONMENT. THEREFORE THE PRIMARY EXEMPT PURPOSE WOULD BE THE PREVENTION OF CRUELTY TO ANIMALS.

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.
