PROVIDE EDUCATION TO THE PUBLIC CONCERNING THE PROPER CARE OF COMPANION ANIMALS AND ASSIST IN REDUCING THE OVERPOPULATION THROUGH SPAY/NEUTER CLINICS. THE GOAL IS TO WORK WITH PEOPLE IN THE LOCAL COMMUNITY WHO RESCUE DOGS AND FOSTER THEM IN THEIR OWN HOMES. WE PROVIDE FOOD, VETERINARY CARE, SUPPLIES, AND SUPPORT WHILE WE FIND PERMANENT HOMES FOR THESE ANIMALS. THIS IS NOT A SHELTER IN THE TRADITIONAL SENSE. RATHER WE EMPOWER LOCAL RESCUERS WHO MAKE THE BEST ADVOCATES IN THEIR NEIGHBORHOODS FOR MORE HUMANE TREATMENT OF ANIMALS. BY THEIR EXAMPLE THEY EDUCATE FRIENDS, FAMILY, AND NEIGHBORS ABOUT PROPER ANIMAL CARE INCLUDING SPAY/NEUTERING TO REDUCE THE NUMBERS OF UNWANTED ANIMALS. HOPE 4 LA PAWZ, A U.S.-BASED NONPROFIT, CONTINUES TO PROVIDE CRITICAL FINANCIAL SUPPORT TO VOLUNTARIOS POR LOS PERROS DE LA PAZ, A.C., ALSO KNOWN AS AMIGOS DE 4 PATAS, A REGISTERED MEXICAN NONPROFIT. THIS PARTNERSHIP IS ESSENTIAL IN RESCUING, REHABILITATING, AND REHOMING ABANDONED AND NEGLECTED DOGS IN LA PAZ, BAJA CALIFORNIA SUR, MEXICO. THIS PAST YEAR, HOPE 4 LA PAWZ DIRECTLY COVERED VETERINARY EXPENSES, INCLUDING SURGERIES, CONSULTATIONS, VACCINATIONS, MEDICATIONS, AND SPAY/NEUTER PROCEDURES FOR RESCUED DOGS IN MEXICO. THROUGH THIS SUPPORT, AMIGOS DE 4 PATAS AND ITS NETWORK OF LOCAL RESCUERS HELPED 95 DOGS FIND PERMANENT HOMESAN INCREASE FROM 83 IN THE PREVIOUS YEAR. NOTABLY, 57 OF THESE ADOPTIONS TOOK PLACE WITHIN MEXICO, REFLECTING A CULTURAL SHIFT TOWARD LOCAL ADOPTION AND RESPONSIBLE PET OWNERSHIP. BEYOND FUNDING MEDICAL CARE, HOPE 4 LA PAWZ PROVIDES MENTORSHIP AND STRATEGIC GUIDANCE TO AMIGOS DE 4 PATAS AS IT STRENGTHENS ITS LEADERSHIP AND ADVOCACY EFFORTS. THESE INITIATIVES INCLUDE WORKING WITH CITY OFFICIALS TO IMPROVE ANIMAL WELFARE LAWS, ENGAGING WITH LOCAL MEDIA TO PROMOTE RESPONSIBLE PET CARE, AND ORGANIZING COMMUNITY EVENTS THAT ENCOURAGE POSITIVE HUMAN-DOG INTERACTIONS, SUCH AS RACES AND EDUCATIONAL ACTIVITIES. 4717 X 4717 WHILE LOCAL ADOPTION IN MEXICO IS INCREASING, HOPE 4 LA PAWZ CONTINUES TO FACILITATE INTERNATIONAL ADOPTIONS FOR DOGS IN NEED. THIS YEAR, 38 DOGS WERE TRANSPORTED FROM LA PAZ TO PERMANENT HOMES IN THE UNITED STATES AND CANADA, WHERE ADOPTERS SPECIFICALLY SOUGHT DOGS THAT HAD BEEN FOSTERED AND REHABILITATED IN A HOME ENVIRONMENT. COORDINATING THESE INTERNATIONAL ADOPTIONS REQUIRES A NETWORK OF VOLUNTEERS ACROSS MEXICO, THE U.S., AND CANADA. THESE VOLUNTEERS ASSIST WITH SECURING AIRLINE-APPROVED KENNELS, ARRANGING TRANSPORT LOGISTICS, AND ENSURING A SMOOTH TRANSITION FOR THE DOGS. HOPE 4 LA PAWZ ALSO MANAGES THE RETURN OF KENNELS TO LA PAZ, ENABLING FUTURE TRANSPORT OPERATIONS. THE COLLABORATION BETWEEN HOPE 4 LA PAWZ AND AMIGOS DE 4 PATAS IS MAKING A MEASURABLE IMPACT ON ANIMAL WELFARE IN MEXICO. THE INCREASE IN LOCAL ADOPTIONS DEMONSTRATES GROWING COMMUNITY SUPPORT FOR RESCUING AND REHOMING STREET DOGS, WHILE THE ORGANIZATIONS DIRECT FUNDING OF VETERINARY CARE ENSURES THAT MORE DOGS RECEIVE THE TREATMENT THEY NEED TO BECOME ADOPTABLE. 32167 36884 CHARLENE ANGELO PRESIDENT 15.00 0 IRENE PHILLIPS SECRETARY 10.00 0 MICHELLE MCCORMICK TREASURER 10.00 0 false false false false false false false false false CA OR WA CHARLENE ANGELO 1004 COMMERCIAL AVENUE 155 ANACORTES WA 98221 3604992860 false false false false false false false false false false false NONE NONE true X 24736 44568 27057 28719 125080 24736 44568 27057 28719 125080 36956 88124 2 192 149 343 125423 97919 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED FORM 990-EZ, PART I, LINE 16 EXPENSES ADVERTISING 2,233 OFFICE EXPENSE 2,331 INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY 4,700 INSURANCE 2,214 ANIMAL TRANSPORTATION 8,672 VETERINARY SERVICES 7,126 ANIMAL CARE 6,279 LICENSES AND FEES 477 TOTAL 34,032 FORM 990-EZ, PART III RESCUE COMPANION ANIMALS FROM THE LA PAZ AREA OF THE BAJA PENINSULA; REHABILITATE THEM; AND FIND LOVING, PERMANENT HOMES FOR THEM IN MEXICO, THE US, AND CANADA.
