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.

- $4,292 spent. Oreo's Healing Journey- this special needs dog was given sanctuary 4-20-25. She has lost the use of her rear legs. With our therapeutic nutrition & holistic care she has REGAINED feeling in both of her rear legs. We, and our vet, believe that we will get her walking again. She will be an inspiration to millions of Americans living with spinal cord injury and degenerative disc disease.
- $3,033 spent. Dear IRS employee, I am late on filing this first tax document because I did not understand several things. I thought that our tax year went from July 15, 2024 to July 15, 2025. I did not discover that the account year would run from July 1, 2024 to Jun 30, 2025 UNTIL I started filling out this online e-file form. I am writing this here as I do not know if the e-file will let me put this info elsewhere. Please be lenient with us. We do not have funds for a fine. Thank you for considering my request. Healthy Cat Project-Program, our cat food is presently in a small trial for preventing feline kidney disease.
- $1,604 spent. Healthy Bird Project-Program-Malnutrition & unbalanced nutrition is the leading cause of illness, disease & early death of exotic parrots worldwide. Our program documents the benefits of feeding balanced nutrition from whole real foods. And can aid in preventing the extinction of endangered parrot species.
- $4,836 spent. Healthy Dog Project-Program- food and nutritional supplements for our other sanctuary dog.
