We provided each pet with other up to date vaccinations and medical care, spay and neuter, and microchips as needed. We also provide all animals we bring in with at least one exam by a Colorado Licensed Veterinarian upon intake per new Colorado PACFA regulations.

02The organization over time

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.

Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $112k arriving through sponsors registered in 5 states is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been.
