We provided 7,850 pounds of pet food, 35 Dogloos, crates, and kennels, 25 bags of blankets and bedding, a variety of medical supplies, including a stainless steel exam/surgery table and flea & tick treatments to five (5) rural rescues. We also helped their owners with 100 masks, twin beds, a desk, and even a Christmas tree! 543 ADOPTION CENTER: We reviewed demographic information, area growth patterns, as well as adoption deserts (areas where no adoption facilities currently exist) to determine the best possible location available for the center. After reaching our fundraising benchmark in August 2020, we began in-person visits of potential sites. EDUCATION: We advised victims who purchased sick puppies from unscrupulous pet stores about Arizona's Puppy Lemon Law - which reimburses only the purchase price of the sick pet. While these funds helped a bit, they did not cover any veterinary bills, nor did they make up for the trauma these pet owners endured. Through media outreach, we helped educate those choosing to buy a pet from a for-profit pet store of the risks associated with that transaction, namely that certain for-profit pet stores may put profits ahead of the health and welfare of the mother and her pups. We also connected persons having to surrender their pets to reputable rescue groups, helped others wanting a pure-bred dog find responsible breeders, and others to find low-cost veterinary care and pet food. 27287 true true false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false true 0 0 false 0 false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 4 4 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true true true false AZ X Nancy Young Wright 5202611616 PO Box 66063 Tucson AZ 857286063 X Nancy Young Wright President 65.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Dawn Vandaveer Secretary 20.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Jeff Dorman Director 0.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Linda Simmons VP/Treasurer 5.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Dr Jen Becker Treasurer 15.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 A L 'Lee' Bucyk Secretary 10.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Steve Oliver Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Kim Kelly Director 5.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 0 false false false 0 93133 26604 93133 0 51 51 0 0 0 0 0 0 151 79 72 72 0 93256 51 72 26744 26744 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 750 750 3263 3263 1128 94 261 773 443 429 14 0 599 449 150 0 0 23 23 0 0 0 503 503 0 33453 27287 2116 4050 710 540 2679 62081 0 0 0 0 0 177 394 0 0 0 0 0 0 3389 63192 0 0 X 3389 60200 2992 3389 63192 3389 63192 59803 X false false false X 22821 70697 93132 186650 0 0 22821 70697 93132 186650 0 186650 1 51 52 0 0 186702 X 0.00000 RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED false false false false Geronimo Animal Rescue Team PO Box 522 Bylas AZ 85530 200 20718 FMV Pet food & supplies, household gds Support animal rescue efforts 0 1 X 484 Cmprble sales X Pet food: 7650 lbs 1 16754 Rplcmnt cost X Pet supplies 13 8928 Cmprble sales X Pet food 1 438 Rplcmnt cost false true false Form 990, Part VI, Line 11b: Form 990 Review Process RMT believes it is essential for all our board members to understand the information presented on this form, since each individual bears responsibility for the activities of the organization.
