Our transport program successfully transferred almost 1,000 homeless animals in 2021, many which are considered unadoptable locally and would have otherwise been euthanized, to out of state rescue partners where they are adopted into loving forever homes. The cost of our transport program includes van rental and gas, as well as travel crates and bedding. 0 18288 Our veterinary program includes vetting of the animals we transfer to ensure that they are healthy enough to cross states lines according to the Oklahoma Department of Agriculture, Food, & Forestry. Other veterinary costs include a partnership with Tulsa Animal Welfare, the City of Tulsa's animal shelter, to provide reimbursement for the cost of Heartworm Treatment to adopters that have shown they completed Heartworm treatment and placed the animal on preventive to prevent future cases of Heartworm. In a handful of cases, we have paid for sterilization surgery of animals for families in need who have had an accidental litter in order to prevent future litters, which contribute to our state's overpopulation crisis. 0 26662 Our foster program provides food and supplies for volunteers who open up their home to foster an animal awaiting transport so it does not have to go into a boarding facility. 0 5171 Occasionally, we cannot find fosters for certain animals; thus, our boarding program pays for the costs of boarding these animals at a facility until they leave on transport. 0 1214 Sometimes, when we are asked to place puppies on transport born into an accidental litter, we offer to sterilize the litter's mom to prevent future unwanted litter. 0 1444 52779 Andrea Kyle President 30 0 0 0 Martha Ann Stiles Vice-President 30 0 0 0 Peter Strance Treasurer/Acting Secretary 15 0 0 0 Michele Haugland Director of Operations 30 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 OK Andrea Kyle 8263 S Harvard Ave 311 Tulsa OK 74137 9182843978 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 NONE NONE 1 X 0 0 3244 59498 50823 113565 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 3244 59498 50823 113565 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 113565 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 3244 59498 50823 113565 X Form 990-EZ, Part I, Line 10 Veterinarian 26,661.86 ; Transport Rescue 18,288.35 ; Foster Support 5,170.83 ; Spay and Neuter 1,444.40 ; Boarding 1,214.12 Form 990-EZ, Part I, Line 16 $935 for liability insurance//$261 for administrative expenses//$461 for fundraising expenses//$34 for advertising//$28 for bank fees
