The late filing of Form 990-EZ was due to administrative oversight during a period of significant organizational growth and increased program activity. During the tax year the organization experienced a substantial increase in animal intake adoptions transport coordination fundraising activities and community programs which resulted in limited administrative capacity and delayed attention to filing requirements. The failure to file on time was unintentional and was not due to willful neglect. Upon discovering the oversight the organization immediately took steps to complete and submit the required return and has implemented procedures to better track future filing deadlines and compliance requirements. We respectfully request that any penalties associated with the late filing be abated based on reasonable cause.
