Mission
Our mission is simple. We support animals and the people who love them when they need it the most through our animal welfare and humanitarian aid programs. We assist shelter, abused, and neglected animals in finding their purpose in life through rehabilitation and training. We help the people who care about them when they need us whenever we can. We believe in helping cats and dogs get a second chance in life. Through their interactions with people, they can bring hope to others. Our goal is always to help animals and the people who love them. There is always hope, all is not lost. One at a time, we strive to make a difference. The Beatles were right "Love is all you need." Our goal is to create programs designed to benefit both people and animals in their daily life interactions. We strive to help both animals and people when they need assistance. We believe both human and animal alike deserve help and a second chance. We support animals and humans in their time of need.

Highest-paid independent contractors
No independent contractors reported.
Who gave
Contributor names are not public for this form type.
Public charities filing Form 990 or 990-EZ report large donors on Schedule B, but the IRS withholds their names and addresses from public copies. Private foundations (990-PF) are different: their contributors are public.
Finances
Newest first. Each filing: its name on one row, its figures on the row beneath. Greyed filings are superseded by a later return for the same period and are left out everywhere else on this page.

Where the money went
Every expense line on each return, biggest first: Form 990 Part IX (with its program, management and fundraising columns), 990-EZ Part I, or 990-PF Part I. Event marks lines the organization itself describes as events. “Events” in each summary adds those lines, conferences and meetings, and the direct costs of fundraising events. Unusual is not the same as improper. Many of these patterns have ordinary explanations. Check the filing.

Donor-advised funds
Donors to individual donor-advised funds are not public. These filings show what the sponsor reports, not who gave.
As reported on Schedule D Part I (and the Form 990 Part IV question “did the organization maintain donor advised funds”). Unusual is not the same as improper. Many of these patterns have ordinary explanations. Check the filing.
