Expenses include veterinarian fees, dog supplies, such as food, collars, leashes, dog toys, heartworm and flea/tick preventatives, and payroll. All dogs are required to be spayed/neutered before adoptions, except for puppies. Puppies are contractually obligated to be spayed/neutered at the proper age. Follow up is performed and evidence gathered to prove compliance. While the dog is in the program, he/she has a complete exam, all medical findings cleared if possible, given monthly heartworm and flea/tick preventatives, and training, if necessary before adoption. The adoption fee is $300. The average expense of a dog is over $1,000. Adoption applications are required to be considered to adopt a dog. After the approval of the application, meet and greets and home visits are scheduled to ensure the dog is placed in the best home possible. Our process works as we have less than 1% overall return rate. 0 0 0 203544 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 7 0 1 11 1 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 6 6 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 TN X Ariel Stevenson 6159462608 14668 Durbin Island Way Jacksonville FL 32259 Lauren Dougall Board President 5 0 X 0 0 0 Jason Dobbs Board Vice President 5 0 X 0 0 0 Kara Allen Board Secretary 5 0 X 0 0 0 Stephanie Willis Board Member 5 0 X 0 0 0 Katelyn Merry Board Member 5 0 X 0 0 0 Angelique Riordon Board Member 5 0 X 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 62609 0 0 134632 1846 197241 Adoption fees 812910 11440 11440 0 0 Grants 812910 56000 56000 0 0 Gifts in Kind 812910 4069 4069 0 0 Donations 812910 7368 7368 0 0 Training 812910 1875 1875 0 0 0 0 0 0 80752 100 0 0 100 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 87464 62609 43127 44337 0 44337 Merchandise 812910 489 0 0 489 0 0 0 0 489 322919 80752 0 44926 X 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 64271 0 25709 38562 0 0 0 0 181115 116674 54869 9572 0 0 0 0 6870 4969 66 1835 19561 9419 6455 3687 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 50 0 50 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 26265 22697 955 2613 3127 2875 50 202 8685 4559 2512 1614 5418 3570 348 1500 0 0 0 0 25690 25690 0 0 3607 3541 66 0 0 0 0 0 650 650 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 959 0 959 0 5086 4812 157 117 Dog supplies 3305 3305 0 0 Car maintanence 783 783 0 0 Business Registration 71 0 61 10 355513 203544 92257 59712 102969 68532 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 2603 5002 15231 14991 1198 240 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 106770 73774 11276 9574 0 0 0 0 0 0 150 1450 0 0 0 0 0 0 11426 11024 X 95344 62750 0 0 95344 62750 106770 73774 -32594 0 0 0 0 0 X 0 0 0 X 217514 253632 240458 228461 197241 1137306 39510 61937 48159 75674 80752 306032 65875 -7614 146143 25448 44489 274341 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 322899 307955 434760 329583 322482 1717679 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1717679 8 15 14 1031 100 1168 0 0 0 0 0 0 8 15 14 1031 100 1168 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 322907 307970 434774 330614 322582 1718847 0.99932 0.99936 0.00068 0.00064 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 0 1 X 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 2876 0 2636 240 12355 0 12355 0 240 Schedule D, Part IV, Line 2b The State of TN requires a $25 deposit be collected when a dog is adopted but has not been spayed or neutered. We do not spay/neuter puppies under the age of 6 months. At the time we adopt the puppy, the adopter contractually agrees to get the puppy spayed or neutered at the appropriate age. We refund the $25 deposit when the adopter provides proof of the spay/neuter. We also collect a $25 puppy training deposit. This deposit is refunded when the adopter provides proof of training.

After Covid, with everyone getting back into the workplace, our available foster homes have decreased. Meaning we can only take in dogs when we have a house for them to stay at. The rise in inflation has affected us. A dog that normally costs $300 for vet bills, now costs about $1000 per dog. It is still hard to get dogs into the vet for certain procedures. Agape Animal Rescue is a network of foster homes, not a traditional shelter. We have a very thorough adoption process including several visits with the dog. We believe this method gives the dog the best chance in staying in their forever home for the rest of my life. This is supported by our extraordinary low rate of return of less than 1% since the beginning of the company. We are 100% supported by the public in either monetary donations, gifts in kind, and/or donated services. We work with Middle TN Animal Controls by taking into our program their hard to adopt dogs or dogs up for euthanasia. We also work directly with the community by accepting dogs from families that cannot provide for the dog any longer. Due to Covid-19 and the inflation, we were not able to get as many monetary donations from the public or grants from foundations. Everyone is experiencing decreased funds and donor fatigue during these past couple years. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11b A draft of the Form 990 is reviewed, discussed, and approved by a vote at the next board meeting after the draft is completed. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 12c At the beginning of each calendar year each board member, Executive Director, Operations Manager and the Development Director are required to state in writing if there are or are not any conflicts of interest. This is accomplished by signing the conflict of interest statement that outlines the requirements in the bylaws. Each person's statement is maintained by the Secretary of the Board. Though, we have never had a conflict of interest. If one should arise, we will ask the person to either clear the conflict or step down from the board or their position. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15 During the budget discussions the board discusses compensation for each employee. If and when and how much of an increase is given is determined by performance, anniversary date, and in line with the increase in fundraising. The board votes on payroll expenses inconjunction with the budget approval process.
