Veterinary Care: We fund veterinary services for homeless pets within our care that varies between minor medical (deworming, GI issues, minor upper respiratory infections) to major medical (leg repairs, limb amputations, major illness, hospitalization, etc). We do not euthanize pets within our care unless it's a quality of life decision. 38045 Spay/Neuter Services: We adopt all of our pets to local households and want to ensure that they are not adding to the over-population crisis. Therefore, every pet adopted through our organization receives spay/neuter. We also facilitate spay/neuter for community cats (also known as stray, feral, neighborhood cats) and community pets in partnership with local spay/neuter organizations. In 2023, we provided 529 pets in our shelter's care with spay/neuter and 498 community cats with spay/neuter. 59460 Lifesaving Program: We aim to assist local municipal shelters in their efforts to save pets and decrease unnecessary euthanasia. We do this through our foster/adoption programs, intake diversion programs, and community outreach programs. In 2023, we transferred in 223 pets from other local shelters, took in 252 stray pets to keep them from entering local shelters, and assisted 39 families with rehoming their pet outside of the shelter system. 59718 157223 Jennifer Jones Administrative Director & Board Secretary 15.00 0 0 0 Michelle Allee Field Director & Board Member 40.00 19100 0 0 Caroline McKenna Executive Director & Board President 40.00 18500 0 0 Kim Skoolcraft Board Member 2.00 0 0 0 Elias Ramirez Board Member 2.00 0 0 0 Steven Spencer Board Member 2.00 0 0 0 Valerie Immore Board Member 2.00 0 0 0 Shana Lane Board Member 2.00 0 0 0 Mellissa Marshall Board Member 2.00 0 0 0 X false true false false false false false false false Onisa McNichols PO Box 7294 Baytown TX 775219998 2816915225 false false false false false false false false false false false false NONE 0 NONE 0 true X 0 0 0 0 0 24193 154187 178380 0 808 45543 46351 0 0 0 25001 199730 224731 0 0 0 224731 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 25001 199730 224731 X 1.00000 0.00000 0.00000 0.00000 RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED Genera Section, Line B Reason for Amended Return: The following expenses were categorized incorrectly in the original filing of the 990ez. Part I, Line 13: $42,118 was moved to program services due to that percent of staffing being related to programs specifically. Part I, Line 14: $22,529 was moved to program services because those costs were related to program services specifically. Part I, Line 16: Due to re-categorizing expenses from the lines above, other expenses equals $182,001. These expenses are outlined in schedule O. In addition, $10,000 formerly categorized as "office expenses" were also found to actually be related to the lifesaving program. This change was made on the Schedule O. Part III, Line 28a: After recalculating spay/neuter program expenses, $38,045 is the total for this program. Part III, Line 29a: After recalculating veterinary care program expenses,$59,460 is the total for this program. Part III, Line 30a: After recalculating lifesaving program expenses, $59,718 is the total for this program. Part III, Line 32: With these corrections, total program service costs equals $157,223. Impact of Changes: These changes show that an additional $78,848 in expenses were actually related to programs specifically. Steps Taken to Prevent Future Errors: This was our organization's first time filing a 990ez. We now have a better understanding of what constitutes as program services.
