Programs
The organization operates an animal shelter that serves cheboygan and presque isle counties in northern lower michigan. This is an open access shelter and no animal is turned away because of space constraints. The public is able and encouraged to drop off unwanted pets for adoption; lost, abandon and abused animals are cared for if they can be. The society also provides pet crematory services.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2023 to 2024, from $549k to $405k (−26%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
