As an all-volunteer organization, we have very few administrative expenses and no salaries which need to be funded. Only 6% of all expenses do not relate directly to the animals' needs. These expenses include such things as accountant's fees for tax filings, paper, postage, advertising, etc. These fees are always paid from the income generated from our adoptions or our volunteers pockets - never from publically donated funds. ALL donated funds are used only to pay direct animal need costs - primarily veterinary care, medications and food (although the food is often paid from our foster parents' pockets).

     Since we work mostly with injured and ill animals which other local groups have passed by, our veterinary expenses are higher than most and, as you can see, comprise  75% of all our expenses - even with the wonderful discounts which our participating veterinarians and veterinary clinics give us.

     There are so many deserving organizations competing for the ever-shrinking donation dollar, we hope that this information will help you in making an informed decision.
