| Description Program Srvc Accom | The Pet Cottage provides lifelong guardianship to pets that lose their humans due to death, disability and deployment by matching pets with people who want a pet companion in their lives and supporting that relationship. In FY18/19 we helped 58 pets. Our programs include (1) Foster to Adopt (2) Senior to Senior Guardianship (3) Sanctuary Program (4) Fospice and (5) Community Outreach. Each program is described below. Foster to Adopt. The prospective pet-parent, their home, and the pet are followed closely for a minimum of 6 weeks before finalizing the adoption, and then for life once adopted. Once the adoption is final, we check in periodically with the family throughout the life of the pet as our commitment to each pet is to ensure its health and well-being for the remainder of its life. Senior to Senior Guardianship. A senior pet (age 7+) is placed under the care of a senior guardian in their home and followed for life. We offer to cover all medical expenses and will check in periodically with the guardian throughout the life of the pet as our commitment to each pet is to ensure its health and well-being for its entire life. We specifically seek pet who become homeless due to their owner's death, disability or deployment. Matching these pet with a senior guardian reduces the number of senior pet who are forced to transition (quite bewilderingly) from the comfort of years in a loving home to likely living out their remaining years in a shelter. By placing them under the guardianship of seniors who need, desire, and benefit from their companionship, the pet lives the rest of his life cared for in a manner that his owner desired. This arrangement benefits the pet, his owner, the guardian, the shelter, and our communities! We are unique in that we make a promise to the pet that he/she shall have a home and a loving companion for life. We do so by following each pet in all of our programs for their lifetime. Additionally, guardians are offered financial support for medical expenses for the life of the pet. This innovative aspect of our program not only removes the obstacle of fear of a large medical expense, thereby increasing the number of potential guardians, but also ensures that our promise to the pet for his wellbeing is kept. Sanctuary Program. The pet's home is at The Pet Cottage. Pets who become sanctuary residents are those who would not be easily adopted or placed with a senior guardian. Fospice. A terminally ill or special needs pet is placed in the guardian's home and followed for life. We offer to cover all medical expenses and will check in periodically with the guardian throughout the life of the pet as our commitment to each pet is to ensure its health and well-being for its entire life. Community Outreach - we offer free workshops to educate the public about the importance of having a plan for your beloved pet in the event of your inability to care for them, and the value of becoming a guardian to a senior pet. | DescriptionProgramSrvcAccomTxt |

| Explanation | The organization is very small and only has one part-time staff member. It recently changed who was providing accounting and tax services. During this transition, there was a miscommunication over who was filing the 990-EZ. Additionally, there was a delay due to the global pandemic and stay and home orders. The organization now has a compliance calendar and counsel to keep it up-to-date with all filings. | ExplanationTxt |
