Mission
The mission of pets in need is to provide animals with loving care and lasting homes, to partner with communities striving to do the same, and to advance our no-kill legacy.
Program accomplishments
- Medical - Pets In Need is dedicated to optimizing the health, safety, and well-being of its shelter guests, and community animals. Each shelter is supported by a skilled veterinary team and volunteers who deliver exceptional care and quality medical services. Animals arriving through intake or from high-intake regional shelters receive comprehensive medical attention, including basic exams, spay/neuter surgeries, vaccinations, and deworming regimens. For animals requiring advanced or specialized treatment, Pets In Need provides care in-house and through trusted partner specialty providers. Additionally, our community veterinary clinic offers affordable wellness services to pets in the community, ensuring even more animals receive the care they need to thrive. The medical team performed 1,764 procedures and 3,672 vaccinations for pets this year.Expenses $2,675,751 · grants $90,432 · revenue $283,733
- Animal Care and Foster - Our animal care team is comprised of dedicated staff who ensure the daily needs and well-being of all sheltered and fostered pets are met. Foster coordinators collaborate with Pets In Need's significant foster network to place animals in temporary homes, helping to expand shelter capacity while providing animals with love and support on their journey to adoption. Foster volunteers play a vital role by temporarily opening their homes, allowing us to care for more animals, including those with special needs. Additionally, time in foster allows animals the opportunity to learn how to live successfully in homes and helps to alleviate stress. The animal care and foster team found foster homes for 970 pets this year.Expenses $1,551,097 · revenue $43,932
- Adoptions - The adoptions team provides daily care and enrichment for in-shelter animals, facilitates adoption matches, and offers guidance to potential adopters, all while championing barrier-free adoptions to help place more animals in loving homes. Pets In Need also maintains a large and dedicated volunteer base that supports various organizational activities. The development and communications department drives adoption efforts through a comprehensive marketing program, utilizing the website, social media, email campaigns, and special adoption events and promotions. The adoptions team found homes for 1,218 pets this year.Expenses $852,110 · revenue $205,286
- Behavior - An onsite behavior team collaborates with volunteers to train and enrich dogs, enhancing their adoptability. Our large volunteer corps works daily with dogs for behavior support and modification, enrichment, and emotional connection to mitigate stress and amplify behavioral well-being. Behavior services are essential for our dogs to learn basic commands, walk well on a leash and be social in public places, maintain emotional stability, and transition smoothly into a home setting.Our dedicated volunteers also work with cats, rabbits, and guinea pigs, socializing them to increase their chances of adoption success and to mitigate fear, stress, and boredom. Pets in foster-to-adopt programs or those already adopted are more likely to experience successful placements after receiving guidance and support from our behaviorists.We also offer affordable and accessible behavior training, online and in-person, to support pet parents in the Bay Area (and beyond) to bond with their furry family members and ensure their animals' emotional and behavioral wellness. Expenses $375,060. Including grants of $0.
