This was a 95% increase from 2023 statistics. This large increase was possible because of major organizational changes during the year. Office space was rented to improve our location for fosters access, veterinary care and new staff members. Administration and vetting staff was added to support the adoption process and coordinate animal care prior to adoptions. All adopted animals are provided with needed health care, vaccines, spay or neuter surgeries and ID micro-chips in preparation for adoption. Our long term objective is to increase adoptions, reduce the cost of medical care and focus on assisting local animal shelters by taking animals from their euthanasia lists. At this time approximately 7% of intake are from the euthanasia lists. 485991 112757 0 125376 Of the 1306 adoptions placed in 2024 approximately 96% were transported to out of state adopters. This is needed since Texas has an over abundance of animals needing homes while many states in the Northeast and Rockies have fewer animals in shelters. Using outside animal transport services proved costly and issues arose with animal care and even lost cats during the transfer process. The decision was made in June 2024 to purchase a Ford transit van and outfit it for our own transport needs. This allows LSP to coordinate and manage the entire process. We can now accomplish three 3-5 day transports each month that carry at least 30-40 cats or dogs per trip. Our long term goal is to purchase a larger truck to provide more space and a more comfortable environment for both the animals and drivers. 900099 23538 0 52648 Since Lone Star Pawz rented an office space in Pearland TX, the decision was made to section off a portion of it to open an "Catfe". It is open to the public to visit cats available for adoption or are awaiting a transport to their new homes. Extra income is made by the sale of drinks, snacks and visits with the cats in a controlled environment. This has proven to be very popular and income generated is used to support our services. 394597 true false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 3 0 7 true false false false false false true true false false false false false 0 0 0 0 false false false false X 5 3 true false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false TX X Joan Jensen 8326217331 7211 Pine Drive Alvin TX 77511 Donna Jarvis President/CEO 50.00 X X 16800 0 0 Ashley Russell Secretary 10.00 X 2800 0 0 Abbey Mercado Vice President 5.00 X 0 0 0 Joan Jensen Treasurer 10.00 X 0 0 0 Diana Setrella Board Member 0.05 X 0 0 0 19600 0 0 0 false false false 0 0 0 5106 0 0 56735 0 61841 Animal transports 485991 125376 125376 Animal Adoptions 812910 444055 444055 Catfe 900099 52648 52648 0 0 622079 8 8 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 5106 0 3815 1291 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 685219 622087 0 0 2400 2400 0 0 0 0 0 0 19600 0 19600 0 0 0 0 0 19627 11227 8400 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 7108 2033 5075 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 4107 0 4107 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 7184 2494 875 3815 17750 5917 11833 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 22484 11242 11242 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 14776 14776 0 0 6396 2500 3896 0 Animal transports 84254 84254 0 0 ShelterLuv adoption processing program 6854 6854 0 0 Veterinary care and vaccines 197858 197858 0 0 410398 341555 65028 3815 0 0 0 72944 284931 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 2023 0 1706 73881 14776 0 59105 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 72944 347765 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 72944 347765 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 72944 347765 72944 347765 274821 0 0 0 0 0 X false false false false false X 0 0 0 0 10415 16318 26733 265280 520747 786027 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 275695 537065 812760 0 0 0 0 0 0 812760 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 52648 52648 0 0 0 275695 589713 865408 X 0.93920 0.00000 0.00000 0.00000 Part III, Line 12 Other income reported in #12 is from the LSP Catfe Cat Cave and refreshment store front. 73881 14776 59105 59105 Part VI, Line d 2024 Ford Transit Cargo Van used for transporting adopted cats and dogs to new owners. Part III, Line 2 1) Lone Star Pawz moved into a commercial office space in Pearland, TX to increase community visibility, and provide an office for administration employees. This centralized location allows for easier access with foster volunteers to bring animals in for vaccines and other required health certificates. Lone Star Pawz averages 350-400 animals in the rescue program at any given time, and 120 volunteer fosters that care for them while they await adoption. 2) A portion of the rented office space is the CATfe. Here, for a small donation, the public is welcome to spend time in our "cat room" visiting with sociable felines. Drinks are available for purchase as well. 3) To facilitate a more timely and safer transport process, LSP purchased a Ford transport van to use for transportation of adopted animals to out-of-state locations. 97% of all adoptions are transported out of Texas. On a monthly basis, we manage 2 trips to the east coast and one to Colorado. Part III, Line 3 Greatly expanded the number of cats and dogs rescued and adopted by organizing the process through the ShelterLuv adoption processing program. Lead cat and dog foster coordinators were established along with primary adoption facilitators to better organize our services and increase the number of adoptions made. Established services of several local veterinary clinics to improve required animal medical care. This would include spay and neuter surgeries, general medical care & vaccines for health certificates required for out of state adoptions. Established our own transport service to reduce reliance on other companies. Part VI, Line 11b Board of Director officers will be provided notice of completion of the 990 form before it is submitted.
