Prior to adoption our dogs will be vetted, spayed or neutered and nurtured to join a supportive and loving home environment. 2025 continued to be challenging for the animal welfare world - adoptions remained slow, several of our long term fosters have taken breaks or left, finding new dedicated fosters is difficult, and local shelters are also full so the supply of dogs far outweighs the demand. Despite these challenges, we still rescued 81 dogs and puppies, primarily from high kill shelters and urgent situations. All of our dogs live in our homes with us and are loved like our own pets. They are all fully vetted prior to adoption, and we have a trainer that helps us work through any behavioral issues. One of our special projects is keeping dogs in their homes. We offer post-adoption support in the form of periodic check ins, providing free training classes weekly for adopters to attend in person, and also have videos and other training materials we can send out for people to work on at home. We volunteered at 12 pet food banks in the Denver area - one a month. We distributed dog and cat food in partnership with a human food bank to help folks who may need to choose between feeding themselves or their pets. We also help cover vet bills if a family is faced with having to relinquish their pet because they cant afford their care. Our second special project is Spay/Neuter. It's becoming more apparent than ever that we can't rescue ourselves out of the pet overpopulation problem, we also need programs that slow down population growth. We are passionate about and dedicated to providing low cost spay/neuter surgeries to under-served areas in Colorado and New Mexico. For the last 6 years we have partnered with an amazing spay/neuter alliance and have been fortunate enough to volunteer at 4 of the clinics as well as helping with funding. We are hoping to ramp up our spay/neuter support in 2026 because rescue and adoption alone is like "trying to empty the ocean with a teaspoon"! 0 13801 13801 Marie Hackett President 1 0 0 0 Stacey Swetil-Rust Secretary 1 0 0 0 Stephanie Egeberg Board Member 1 0 0 0 Eric Permut Board Member 1 0 0 0 Lisa and Rob Sloat Board Member 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 The Balanced Act LLC 1706 Lower Elwha Road Port Angeles WA 98363 3035202155 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 NONE NONE 1 X 67205 39806 33629 38931 27503 207074 53898 35862 36672 21873 26074 174379 121103 75668 70301 60804 53577 381453 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 381453 121103 75668 70301 60804 53577 381453 1 1 0 0 X Form 990-EZ, Part I, Line 16 Direct Program, Office Supplies, Bank Fees, Donations, Insurance, Licenses, Volunteer Support, Mileage Form 990-EZ, Part I, Line 20 Rounding
