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.

Impact evidence

Describes programs. Its tax return describes what it does but we have found no measurable results in it.

Programs described in its return (3)
  1. We have save hundreds of animals from euthanasia from high kill shelters and after fully vetting those dogs and cats we find them loving homes or other rescues to go to so they can find homes for them.
  2. We work with a shelter in Maryland to transport cats that are in high kill shelters to their facility where they spay and neuter them and then they work through Petco to find them homes. On average we transport 30-40 crates of cats holding roughly 60 -80 cats each month through out the year.
  3. We work with local rescues to help transport animals that they have rescued to northern shelters and adopters. This frees up space to help more animals in the southern region.
